This looks like a South/Central American Cichlid to me, but I caught it in a minnow trap in the ditch out back in southeast Georgia..
large ditch/small creek that connects to good size pond. Kingsland, Georgia
Is this an indigenous species? Or did someone let Cichlids loose? Either way what is it specifically?

very interesting indeed
Is that Cristian Fountain Creek? It does look like a Cichlid though. I wonder what it could be?
I'm not familiar with fish from your area, but take a look at these two possibilities and see what you think:
Bluespotted Sunfish: http://fishesofgeorgia.uga.edu/index.php...
Dollar Sunfish: http://fishesofgeorgia.uga.edu/index.php...
Will be curious what you come up with for an ID!
