Fig. 8. The jaguar guapote (top) and the oscar are two nonindigenous fish species that were either released by aquarists or escaped from aquarists into Florida waters. The jaguar guapote is likely to spread while the oscar, now considered a game fish, has already spread throughout southern Florida (U.S. Geological Survey, Florida Caribbean Science Center, unpublished information).
