Good start on my Florida aquarium

Parents had a fish pond while growing up. I put everything in there you can think of. Yes even a alligator. Didn't have the exotic then that we have now. You can go to Tampa bypass canal and catch algae eaters but 120 gal. might not be big enough.

I agree that's a bullhead or speckled cat. We have them in many lakes around Tallahassee.

its not a bull head - to big - bull heads i would thing don't get any bigger
than 1/2 lb maybe 8-10" long
caught many hundred of them years ago in Indiana -Michigan-Ohio - Kentucky
and they weren't of marked like that one. Mostly kinda green/bownish -

Bullhead. Have caught many close to 2 pounds. Specially in cross Florida barge canal by Rodman

Calico Cat eh?? I had never seen one and I figured it was a refugee like the Oscars and Cyclids. We are headed back for a week first of April. Always a fun trip to Okeechobee and the Everglades.
