My husband and I actually both had a day off today so we decided to go to the springs and the closest one is Rock Springs... now also known as "Kelly Park". Any of yall from the central Florida area probably know what im talking about... its near Apopka.
Anyway we went early in the morning and left around noon. We like to go early becuase you get to see a lot of the wildlife before all the people scare it off. We saw a lot of fish... particularly PLECO'S!!! There were literally hundreds of pleco's in one area grazing on the algae! I couldn't believe it.. .they were HUGE!!! Like 1-2' long.
Now i am guessing that the springs are perfect for them to live in becuase its always 72 degree's year round... even in the winter... but i had never seen pleco's in these springs before... we hadn't been for 2 years but we usually go every year.
Anybody else in Florida ever seen anything like this??? I knew they were being released in the wild a lot but id never seen so many in one place before... it was absolutely amazing!
