Super User SirSnookalot Posted March 24, 2015 Super User Posted March 24, 2015 May go hand in hand with some of the bluegill threads. Went out for peacocks yesterday, saw a few fish swimming but I couldn't make out what they were. I scored on my second cast with an inline spinner, I was taken all over the canal, first thought it was peacock, it wasn't. A mayan cichlid that probably didn't weigh more than 6-8 ounces. IMO these fish ounce for ounce (lol) out fight peacocks hands down, not the first time I've thought this. Caught about 5 of them. Quote
MassBass Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Probably be a nice addition to your aquarium. I would like to find one at the fish shop. Quote
Jtrout Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I've caught two of them the are tough little fighters with teeth lol. Had one hit a tiny 2 inch swim bait Nd one hit a red eye shad in a canal in Coral Springs. Quote
bassinOUT89 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Caught this little guy out of holiday on Tuesday. When he smashed my chatterbait with fluke trailer I told my brother, "I got a big one". To my surprise when I pulled him away from the pads and saw him, it was just a little Oscar. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 27, 2015 Super User Posted March 27, 2015 Gotta love the small fighters. Chiclids and Oscars! Aquarium tanks are where I've seen them. Up here in VA we've not got anything so interesting, but plenty fun in bluegills, perch... Are they considered invasive species down in FL? Yeah, I could look it up, I suppose.... Quote
