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

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