April fools' ...I caught two :D

[Marius]

April fools' ...had anyone bothered to check the name of the pic ...oh well, at least I caught two good ones.


I have only emperors for now, but that Azul is really 70cm wild caught, a hobbyist in Brazil caught and kept it for his aquarium. Seeing that convinced me that I have to go down and "study" some Cichla variants.

My favorite Azul, makes my 10'x4'x3' look like a guppy tank. He's almost 30".

You have pbass!?!?!? lol. Never knew that. That's one badass azul and collection.

No collection really, I have more emperors than cichlas. I only got 2 more Temensis ~14", but had to separate them. I thought they'd be OK with the big guy but overnight he gulped down one of the Tems.

Looking forward to more though, after I finish school, a few projects I have in mind.

copy that.

And a 30" AZUL ... this must be one of the biggest here at MFK. Easily can be anyone's favor.

Here's the culprit again

Portuguese

A Brazilian hobbyist, I'm lurking on Brazilian forums as well, as I can read pretty much everything (fluent in Spanish, Italian and French ...so Portuguese is just a matter of time until I learn how to write as well ). It was on one of these Brazilian forums that I found this guy, he caught the Cichla and put it in his tank ...and then, as I've been had twice for April 1st, well, you got the story

This is one my tanks Michael, 400gal 8'x3'x30"

and at the moment I have a pair of Boulengerochromis Microlepis in there (wild caught I've been told) and a colony of Kitumba frontosas (22 adult wild caughts, 6 males and 16 females).

Thats a big zullie.

Although i'd feel guilt about taking such a big fish from the wild and putting it into a tank no matter what size

 

[Bartek]

I agree,I saw a humongus bumble bee grouper in a store once,the thing must have weighed close to fifty pounds.It seemed a shame to put it through the stress of capture and transport.
