Mmmk...so heres a better question....where did Rapps get this last batch of orinocensis from? Should i be expecting blue or red fins? side note...all those orinos had the blood eye.....is that normal? I thought only some pbass got that....i guess they were pissed about being caught though...lol...

yes-pissed!! all cichla will display blood-eye.....most commonly when showing aggression or feeding. As for the lil guyz....not sure other than orinoco river,but that could be any trib. or northern or southern local.....will be able to get an Idea around 7-12" when they start getting the adult coloration....my wee orinocensis are packing it on...will get yaz some pics tomarrow.

You'll always have pics of big temensis with anglers holding them....one of the biggest $$$ makers down there......hopefully if all goes as planned me and chad will be down there sometime next year :grinyes:
and as stated in the fisheries text:
"The violent behavior and awesome tackle busting power of C. Temensis, the largest of the peacock bass, is what brings avid fisherman to brazil. This top level predator is considered the most powerful freshwater fish in the world." CLOFFSCA 03

they will morph alot throughout their growing stages....have heard that they will fool you alot with the color and patterns as they grow.....other cichla do this ,but I have heard that these guys are esp notorious for it.
 
very vibrant... nice
