So, here are the pics of the fishs I fished here. I have few pics atm because I lost some, but I will keep updating it.

I like how red this guy is.. His body is so clean, with no spangles.

Kelberi caught in a Rios Banabuiu reservoir.



This is from another reservoir, but its a pretty darker because of the water condition, his anal fin has brindles, not yellow spots.

I just become amazed with this coloration, the yellow spots in all his body, in this reservoir theyre all like that!

Very nice, are you allowed to keep them? Ceará Kelberi are highly sought after in the US and Europe. I believe Haynchinook has a stunning specimen.

Actually I own three juvenile in my tank.. I caught the one with yellow body..
Theyre already eating frozen tilapia, plancton from the tank and mosquito larvae also from the tank, and Im trying to put then into pellets..
