Cichlasoma dimerus: 'Dad' Going it Alone

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Here are some pictures from there :)

Villa Constitucion is a little town on kind of an oxbow of the Rio Uruguay... That's what rush hour looks like!

We found the little dimerus in plant-filled areas because there were also big pike, catfish, wolves (Hoplias) and other predators swimming around. Also some really cool high-finned cory cats.

Here's a C. dimerus I collected in Villa Constitucion :D

Awesome!!!
 
Hey Matt, I was a bit premature on the collection site of the 'dimerus' I have. It apparently wasn't Villa Constitucion, but rather Bella Union. I just heard back from Ray.

Ray Quennelle: "The fish are from an un-named creek in the north of Uruguay, I believe near Bella Union".

I think Ray was on a trip with Ken Davis.

I've got pictures of Bella Union too... it's up the Rio Uruguay from Villa Constitucion :)
