Costa Rican Dovii

[Ripdevil]

Ordering 5 youngsters from Jeff Rapps. Wanted to know if anyone has some already and could explain their experience with them and show some pics?

I hear they tend to get more blue on their fins . . .

Costa Ricans get a taller body and have a ?red? sheen to it, but their fins aren't as blue as Nicaraguans.

They still look nice but I have and prefer nicaraguans.

Costa Ricans are cool but I prefer the Nicaraguans too. As mentioned, the Costa Ricans are taller bodied and bulky, while the Nicaraguans are more slender, like a riverine or open water predator imo.

You'll still have a brute of a fish on your hands in no time

that is great news, I like the bulky look rather then the elongated body shape. Costa Ricans seem more rare although neither have any difference in price. But hearing that they have a taller body shape is a definate positive.

I've had both and I like them equally. Eitherway, the pseudocanines(sp) are equally as effective.....just check my avatar

Both types are equally impressive in their own rights. Good luck!!

Yes, he added the blood and augmented a few things, but the teeth are genuine. I've seen the same photo.
