Tilapia are an invasive species,they don't belong here. They can't take the freeze we had last week. Good riddance.

My buddy has an aquaculture farm in Polk City and raises tilapia and chichlids and whatnot, the tilapia survived but hardly anything else did...

What is an Armored Catfish? Is there anything in S. Fl. that belongs there anymore. Maybe the next freeze will take care of the Mexicans.
