What bodies of water do you guys catch your fish at? Are there any rivers/lakes that have all of these species that I would like to keep: Jaguars, Blackbelts, Sajica, Convicts, and Nicaraguas? If I could narrow my biotope to a single body of water that would be great!

yes man you can catch those species in Costa Rica, for example the Jaguar, Vieja, Nicaraguensis are from the north and atlantic zone in my country, and you can find those in the rivers and lakes too, sincerely i dont have experience to catch those , but chris is an expert , because he all of the weekends go to catch a costarrican fish in special cichlids.

Thanks Jaen, I realize they can all be found there in Costa Rica.

I was wondering if all of those fish live in the same river. Can Jags, Nics, Cons, and Vieja all be found in the Sarapiquí, San Carlos, and Río Frío, Rivers in the Northern Zone?

Chris where do you catch your fish at?

It is great to have you guys as resources!! Gracias

Excellent, PURA VIDA.

I recomended this book http://books.google.com/books?id=MQ...C8D35&sig=5QP-xYzFkt72yG93VrmAd0_YnWI#PPA1,M1

I think is the best book about our fishes. It is very complete.

I buy it here in the Universidad de Costa Rica, but I think maybe you can buy in amazon.
