I’ve seen a bunch of different types of cichlids. We used to have a lot of Oscars until a cold winter wiped a lot of them out, then these Mayan cichlids basically replaced them and compete with bluegill. Caught some jaguar cichlids in this one lake, seen Jack Dempsey and Midas cichlid popularions too.
Then there’s the plecos, those are everywhere but you can’t really catch them on rod and reel.
And then there’s snakeheads, and after you catch a few, you start to realize why they can overtake ecosystems from other predators. They’re fun to catch though, they hit hard and fight hard. And we have peacock bass but thay was supposedly the DNR’s answer to the other invasive species. They seem to live along side LMB pretty well.
