So heres the story Mfkers, I went out today hoping to catch some Texas Cichlids.(Saw a male with a huge hump a few weeks ago and I really wanted it) Well.. I went down there.. and unfortunately the fish were not biting.. I was sorta annoyed and thought, "I'm not leaving here until I get me a freaking Texas" and pulled up my shorts and WADDED through murky water. I noticed a pair(female had breeding colors on) and proceeded with my net. It swam about 3 inches away from my leg and backed off. So I stood still hoping it would come back.. and it did. Every time it came back I would lower my net and it would swim off but came back shortly after. I then noticed a cloud of fry swimming next to my foot and immediately scooped up about 20% of the fry and left. Had a few casualties, all of them my fault.(Dropped some in the grass T_T) Anyway.. As I was walking away.. I saw the mother come back and reclaim the left over fry that I didn't take. Now.. I have about.. 10-15 fry in my tank. I'll post pics later.. They're about half an inch.. I hope they make it. Thought I'd share about my day lol

That's hilarious!!!! Nothing like determination, especially refusing to leave without the prize. That's how I have the collection of fish I have. I went to the lake for weeks trying to catch bullheads(some guys gave me 2) but caught everything else. One crappie, redears, greens, warmouth, bluegills and bluegills with a pink stripe.
Congratulations and best of luck!!!!
