My wildcaught TX Male..

[cburkhart78]

We caught around 14 of them. This one was actually the third biggest that we caught. This one is about 13 inches. The biggest (my daughter caught) was around 15-16 inches and around 2+ pounds! We were actually just fishing but when we started pulling in all of these big TX cichlids, I decided that I needed to keep a pair. I wish I woulda had my camera for my daughters fish. We're heading back out there soon and I'll definately have my camera.

Nice TX!!Where did you catch him?I may need to come see you sometime.

Stunning colours and pattern!
Put up a black background and substrate to get his colours darker again (guessing)!
