Catching Florida's Most Beautiful Exotic Fish | Salvini Cichlid

I had some redworms leftover from my last trip so I headed over to a local canal in Davie looking for some Salvini cichlids which I've caught in this area before. While most of the Salvini cichlids were rather bland in color, three larger samples ended up on the end of my line that were absolutely beautiful. Looking at these Salvini cichlids it is easy to understand why these are so popular in the aquarium trade.

Those Salvinis are gorgeous fish. And such a pleasant stop for a bit of microfishing. Thanks!

[@TheFishingNomad]

Thank you. They really are beautiful.

[@FreeSwimmer]

I would have a huge tank of Salvini..? I have 1 myself and its well colored. Fun video.

[@TheFishingNomad]

Thanks. I'd like to eventually get some tanks set up. Not in a point in my life where that's possible right now though. Hopefully one day.

Greetings from Pensacola Florida, I really liked your channel and especially ultra light fishing, many species and spectacular places to fish, success

[@TheFishingNomad]

8:22 minutes to the video; that's a nice looking female salvini.

[@TheFishingNomad]

Yes it is. I love how the bright ones look.

[@bluesky5587]

Great

[@TheFishingNomad]

Thanks.

[@MegaTechno2000]

I'm surprised ya'll don't have Rio Grande cichlids we have tons of them here in the New Orleans area.

[@TheFishingNomad]

We have them in Florida, just not southern Florida. I think they're in the Orlando area, maybe a little north of there.

[@ryanbarse5649]

I like to visit a friend in Sebring a couple times a year. Could you tell me where I could find these canals? Just for catch and release.

[@willhopson1277]

Any chance of sharing the location of that canal ??

[@UYAVAARABRAB]

these fish are strictly fresh water yes? what about brackish? Thanks. great vids as always.......

[@TheFishingNomad]

I don't believe they can live in brackish water. They're native to the streams and rivers of Central America.

[@UYAVAARABRAB]

@@TheFishingNomad okay got it.... thanks

[@twasbrillig33]

The one with all the red is a female.

[@TheFishingNomad]

Cool.

[@hammerheadgaming992]

[@TheFishingNomad]

Recently I've been getting them on Amazon. Here's a link to the hooks I usually use for microfishing: amzn.to/3UPRhRX
