There are many species of cichlids (Midas Cichlid, Mayan Cichlid, Jack Dempsey, Peacock Cichlid, Oscar, Texas Cichlid, Jaguar Guapote, Spotted Tilapia, Blue Tilapia, Mozambique Tilapia, Blackchin Tilapia...etc), Cobra Snakehead, Clown Knifefish, Grass Carp and even the odd Sorubim and Pacu!

There are also Florida Gar, Longnose Gar, Chain Pickerel, Dollar Sunfish, Redear Sunfish, Green Sunfish, Spotted Sunfish, Warmouth, Flier...the list goes on and on and on...and I'm not even counting the saltwater species yet.

Go fish for other species aside from bass if you have the chance.

Ken, you must be an aquarist! Is my hunch correct?

I used to keep a 5 gallon...but that's years ago. Can't really call myself an aquarist anymore.

No, I just love fish species. I only know about the variety because I've fished there and read about it too. I actually have not catch many of the species that were listed, but next time I visit my uncle in Florida I'm going to go on a serious fishing quest.

It wasn't like I didn't fish like a madman last April when I was in Florida...10 days and I caught 29 species of fish...23 of them were new species to me. I just love catching anything big and small. I can go from targeting Goliath Grouper one day to catching Atlantic Thread Herring the next.
