Catching Wild African and American Cichlids in Australia

These fish were caught using bread and a yabby net in a pond in Victoria, Australia. Apparently been here for 30 years+

They survive because a power plant keeps the water warm all year round.

Main fish found were

Tilapia, Red Devil, African Zebra, Convict

There is HEAPS of hybridization here. I think its cos of such high numbers and because the water is not clear.

fredofry there are many people who unfortuantley release these species into our water ways all the time, and as cichlids are hardy fish they can practically breed/ survive any where!!! I live in Cairns and cairns has alot of water drain through out the town and there are shit loads of tilapia every where, so not uncommon for them to be through out aussie waters?

[AllAlaskan907]

How did all those different species end up there? People dumping thier fish there?

@misswoohoo2 it's sad to see that even your english and grammar is substandard to most asians. you should go back to china and learn english as it should be written and used! then upon being re-educated, think whether your evilness is the reason why god made your kid depends on an air tube through his nose. ever explained to that poor kid why god hates him so much instead of yourself? so sad...so sad.
