Poecilia sphenops and Oreochromis sp. reported as exotic in 1999 (Kabbes et al., 2013).
During a visit in August 2021 I noticed Coptodon rendalli, Oreochromis aureus, Poecilia mexicana, Pseudoxiphophorus bimaculatus, Xiphophorus maculatus and X. hellerii as exotic species. The number of Zoogonetiqus tequila seemed to me very low.
