Big thanks to my @jason’sgonefishing of plexi and cichlid “fame”
number if you guys already know I keep a lot fish from the “Deep South” AKA generosity and subtropical South America. I’ve had F1 Celido’s from EdBurress stock- but this was a chance I had to jumpon. There is no commercial collection or exporting from Uruguay so these fish don’t come around often.I got a group of a half dozen wild rio Uruguay missionaria pikes with the special bonus of 2 wild rio Uruguay Celidos. Neither of these species has gone around in a few years at this point. Jason did a nice job on th packaging and I was shocked at how big a few of these fish are. These fish will spend the next few months at a somewhat medium temp. They are coming From summer so I don’t want to throw them into the northern hemisphere cycle straight away. I may decide to keep them hot- and leave them hot through the summer here rather than try to split the difference. All 8 new pikes are floating in a 150 right now and it’s current occupants are being redistributed.
I was talking with D dogofwar last night about the Uruguay fish, and how much misinformation or “half information” is out there- all from good intentions- and mostly the result of people retaining half what they learn and repeating half of that as answer when questioned. About a subject…. Anyway. These Deep South fish are in the dirty south now and maybe we can get them distributed through the hobby again. Since they’ve mostly run out.
