Alright, I better come clean. The 2 spot is not RM. I have 3 RM and the runt has been constantly picked by that fat beach. I figured if I add more cichla to 'divert' its attention it may help a little. And so I went to the local reservoir to collect some occelaris/orino hybrid. I score that small 2 spot on the first roll cast. Not bad haul for 20 min on the first day of Lunar New Year, landed several matured ones and many small ones, and then I hurried the little 2 spot to its new home. Enjoy the pix.
HAHA well he still looks sweet!! you can still send him to me if you want!!What kind of fly did you catch him on?Geeze I am still new to the cichla game and did not even notice the body and head shape diff untill you stated . or my mind did not want to see!!!
Okay, I got bored today and when down to the water again in hope of getting more 'sacrificial lambs' to relieve my little RM. Plenty of grown ups landed. And I have 2 small hybrids. One of which is a five spot. Yeah this is just weird, never seen that many around and I caught 2 spot yesterday and a 5 spot today. Enjoy the pix!
