I got back from Mexico a couple hours ago and finished acclimating and treating 17 Red Istlanum from Rio Amacuzac, near Ixtla. The fish are awesome, and by far the most colorful of any Istlanum. I will post pics, of the Red Istlanum, in the afternoon. Now I need lots of sleep and rest. On a quick note, collecting Istlanum was very difficult, but doable, as I did get 17 pcs. The frustrating part, that 99% of the time we threw the cast net in, it came back out with introduced Convict Cichlids and GREEN TERRORS! Both these guys were every freakin where, and was so annoying, and sad. You could see the convicts, green terrors and istlanum, fighting it out for the best spots in the river. Anyway will post pics by noonish L.A. time.
