| Commenti | A popular aquarium fish, found in 65% of pet shops near Lakes Erie and Ontario (Ref. 53249). Two specimens were taken from a ditch in Florida adjacent to Tampa Bypass Canal, near a fish farm east of Tampa in Hillsborough County, on 10 November 1993. These fish were probably released or escaped from a fish farm, or were aquarium releases. Ref: | ||||
