I lost over 70 baby Midas Cichlids two days ago when the temps hit the mid 40s.
This was a pretty regular thing in the past...A few nights in the 40s that killed off most of our evasive species. Fish, reptiles, etc. Every Winter.
Three nights in a row pretty much killed 90% of everything.
But this hasn't happened in over ten years. So it was a surprise to me and a lot of our non native animals. Including the 300 and something Midas Cichlids living in one of my fish ponds.
These are the babies of some adults that I caught in Kendall, south Miami.
They are native to central and south America.
The last photo shows the beautiful adult coloration.
