We have collected pretty much throughout SC over the last few years and have
not come across any cichlids or any other exotics for that matter. I'm sure
there have been some out there, but it likely still gets too cold here for
them to overwinter.

Has anyone ever heard of chiclids in South Carolina. I forget the name
they are called. But they are not native, right? Thanks!

I was wondering if you have any information about Esox americanus, the
redfin
or grass pickerel. Since they only get to be 15" I thought they might be
a
better choice than a spotted gar in an 125 gallon tank. Can they be
weaned onto
commercial big carnivorous fish food? I was also wondering if you could
keep
a yard long little sturgeon in a 125 gallon tank.
