forgot round gobies. I catch them all the time in the Saginaw River and some other rivers. As someone else mentioned common carp are also exotics in the U.S. Have also seen a few sea lamprays. Almost caught a pike with one on it once. The pike broke my line and flopped back into the water. If you count zebra mussels, they are a big problem in Michigan

Today caught 2 adult Oscars by some pond near Glades shooting range .
Saw few 3 to 4 inch small Oscars .
Other than that caught same ole same ole but saw lots neat gators and snakes.

Either way wanted to add Oscar to exotic list :screwy: One of the Oscars had strange under bite the others were normal but imagine born in wild few generations as drab colored as they were.

Wild Oscars here that are few generations old are the most drab colored oscars you could imagine . Nothing at all like your avatar.

The other cichlids seem to take on enhanced colors generation after generation but not Oscars. Well, convicts are very drab also though big.

Even the albinos look like combo grayish/pseudo bland yellow. I havent caught any albino but seen them.

The albino seem mostly caught in Spring/Summer . While reg Oscars all yr round.
I wont fish anymore after April till Oct as let the cichlids breed in peace but if catch one before that will post pic. Dissapointing look compared to Oscars your used to.
