I will say on a bright note a guy was fishing the Tamiami canal today by my office and he caught foot long cichlids .
I saw one hit his hook. I just hope he didnt catch the last adults but if some lived there and now eating they lived by deep glades areas.

Non native fish here arent the problem as far as natives go its the Miami fishermen . N.Florida is a whole different world they catch and release.
Surprised Manatees here arent harpooned and eaten.
I understand some in this forum dont like cichlids so we agree to disagree on that but the unreal fishing of native LMB even turtles,etc in Miami is staggering.
I love Cichlids in the aquarium where they belong (I have owned Oscars and convicts), ;exotics (of any kind) do not beloing in our lakes and rivers displacing natives, upsetting ecosystems and spreading foreign diseases! We are not the only ones suffering from exotic fish introductions, Germany's native fish are losing space and forage from out Pumpkinseed sunfish, and Japan is fighting an invasion of our LMB's and Bluegill I believe exotic fish should STAY IN OUR AQUARIUMS the more exotics that get loose and wreak havoc on our ecosystem the more anti-fishkeeping legislation congress will approve (I surely hope you dont want that)! WHEN IT COMES TO EXOTICSS "LETS KEEP THEM IN OUR TANKS, AND EAT THEM IN OUR RIVERS AND LAKES!"
