I read on some of your other threads that were closed that these are wild caught Costa Rican. The one in the aquarium defiantly looks to be a Rican along with the female. The males you have pictured in you hands defiantly look like Nicaraguan. I read the previous thread about how they are not from a ditch in Florida. I am not questioning anything to do with the authenticity of what you claim.....just wondering if they where collected in Costa Rica why they appear to look like Nics? I am no expert on collection points and so forth just wondering why Dovii get this designation of Nics and Rican but both varieties appear at certain collection points. If anyone can clear this up for me please do. By the way they all look like beast and a great buy......those of you that get one of these monsters should keep us posted.:)

Thanks for the clarification. Although I think you can defiantly tell a male Nic from a Rican also, not just the females. I did some research and see how both could be collected from San Juan River as lake Nicaragua joins this through another river then drains to the Caribbean sea. The ones collected from lake Nicaragua (a CA lake) are designated as the Lago De Nicaraguan color variety and as you stated the yellow are collected from the Rio Heredia a Costa Rican lake. Then I suppose you could collect both varieties from on of the joining rivers draining into the Caribbean Sea or any other joining waterway. So to get one or the other as a true variant they would need to be collected from the above locations. Although I can see how both color variants could be collected from varies other points. I think all this is right.....:nilly:
