Florida
The first occurrence of jaguar cichlids in Florida waters dates back to July 1992, when a local angler reported catching two in a small (0.2 ha) pond in Miami-Dade County. Of particular concern to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) officials at the time was this pond's intermittent connection to the Miami Canal (C-6) through a small roadside ditch, which could allow an established population of the cichlids to spread and proliferate throughout Southern and Central Florida in short order. In response, FWC officials closed off the pond and eradicated its local fish population through the application of rotenone. Afterwards, officials collected 39 deceased specimens from the pond, with total lengths ranging from 52 –, indicating the cichlids had already begun to establish a successful breeding population.

Recorded prey items in Florida include western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis), oscars (Astronotus ocellatus), spotted tilapia (Pelmatolapia mariae), and the black acara (Cichlasoma bimaculatum). Cannibalism is also known to occur.
