Im off to mexico in a few days for a weeks holiday. Do oscars live anywhere in mexico?

I don't know about oscars, but lots of other fish commonly kept in aquarium live there like Central American cichlids. Oscars live in the regions of the Amazon and other South American rivers.

Have a good vacation!

I know oscars originally come from the amazon but they also live in florida probably from being introduced by people who kept them as pets. I just figured that if they can live in florida then maybe they live in mexico. I know jack dempseys and firemouth live in mexico, what other common tropical fish that we keep live there. Im not that up on which fish comes from where?

Yeah, i'm not sure about mexico, seeing as most people there are in poverty, i can't imagine too many keeping them and not many people releaseing them...but i suppose it's possible that there are some.

As for other tropical fish in mexico theres texas cichlids and other CA cichlids excluding those from nicauragua like red devils. Cichlid-Forum.com has some maps showing where different cichlids live if you want to see some cichlids there.

Mexiko! That sure sounds like a place I'd want to go myself if it only wasn't so far.

I used to talk with someone from there, and he kept making me envy him when it came to cichlids the ppl can catch there. Oscars were never mentioned though, so no idea.

Here's a list for you about Mexican cichlids I found at The Cichlid Room Companion:

Enjoy your vacation!

Cheers for the list, found a few names i had heard off unfortunately most were the proper names.

Mexico is a long way for me, 10 hours flight
