Featured Replies

So I caught this fish in Broward county Florida. I have no clue what it is. Never seen it before. I thought It was a oscar but it;s not (I don't think).

Looks a lot like a jaguar cichlids. Very popular aquarium fish that gets turned loose

What ever it is, it's beautiful. Did you toss him back?

Yeah I tossed it back. The fish was beautiful though. I always catch and release all my fish.

Looked like a hybrid crappie to me but I'll trust the florida guys :). Nice ID, joedodge.

Beautiful fish, never seen that before

Jaguar capote is the name I think. Some type of cichlid for sure

^^^^ This^^^^ 

 

This fish is extremely common in South FL. One of our many exotics. Just be careful when handling. They do have small teeth.

Weird lookin little guy...

 

Yeah,  they have unique coloration that's for sure. They are also pretty mean. If they grew to be bigger like a LMB, they would definitely be a force to be reckoned with.

It honestly looks like a crappie and speckled trout mix. That fish is beautiful!
