today i caught a 2" mayan cichlid and a 1" cichlid of unknown species. they are every where around here but i dont know what they are. will post pics soon. i caught them in a lake by my house.
 
I was going to ask same question.. Where do you live...
 
south florida
 
no actually i think it is some thing called a yellowbelly guapote. i dont know. they only get to be about 4" max and are what you see trying to steal eggs from mating mayan cichlids. the adults get pretty colorful. mine just has stripes. they dont get colorful until about 2.5".


sorry, i dont have a digi camrea that works. i will go buy a disposable camera this weekend and scan some pictures.
 
figued out that the cichlid is a salvini cichlid
 
pics tomorow i promise
 
Is it tomorrow yet?
