Oooh, lots of fish outside their native range! I could bring them all home and
call it exotics removal! Of course, I'd want to eat some of the cichlids

I do have a friend in New Orleans that I want to visit some day (not soon, I'm
broke from moving) and we should hook up too and visit this canal :-)
