They maybe native some place in the US but are on the invasive list somewhere in the US.
Click on the name and you will find more about the species history and maps of where.
I am shocked.
Never heard of most names. 
Have fun.
With this new placement thing don't know how to interest the rest of US.

Looked for the piranha but didn’t see it. May have overlooked it. One was caught in Baton Rouge in the university lakes. Many species eggs, larvae etc, are carried in ships ballast water, like the zebra mussel. Essentially, stowaways. Others are released into the wild by people who thought they were cool to have but couldn’t take care of them. Smuggling, flooding any number of ways they travel.

May need a certain number found to make the list. I did not make the criteria.

I’d pretty much think where there’s one, there’s probably two. 🤔

Check this USGS site. More than you would think.

This was interesting to look at. I found it interesting cichlids are aggressive aquarium fish and becoming an invasive fish. Until about 5 years ago I've had a freshwater aquarium my whole life, 90 gallons was my last aquarium.
I noticed each species has two versions of a map but they don't always match each other?
More info on native US fish and invasive species is interesting to look at.

Hi Four,
I wonder what the water temp is in the Amazon where Piranha are native? How does it compare to southern US to northern US. I've heard of Piranha caught up north but no way they could survive the winter.

Humans sure have a way of screwing up the ecosystems brother.
Some are messing up all of humanity 👍

Hi Ed. Hope Cassie is doing better. Summer time water temperatures are in the 80 to 90 degree range. Winter around 50 or so.

They've said that about several species Ed. Many have adapted to the climate change

Average year round water temp in the Amazon River is 84* to 86*.

I thought they were called Pike Minnow? Is that the same as Northern Pike???
