THE Oddball Cichla thread

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Confirmed it is in Singapore. I fished this place for over a decade! I posted some oddballs orino crossed somewhere caught from the same hole. :popcorn:

PS, yes it is 101% photoshopped. If I could catch one true orino why would I spent hundreds of USD buying wild caught Rio Meta from Jeff Rapps.

Yes. I am the owner of this photo.
Bad photoshop, I agree.
Manipulating with the fish body pattern? NEVER!
I sometimes blur the background, with gaussian blur or motion blur just for fun, quick and dirty job to enhance the visual of the fish.
The 4 rosette pattern is genuine, I was surprised myself as mentioned in the text of my fishing report.
I have landed some 200 peacock bass, each and every one documented, what's the point manipulating the body pattern. Who am I trying to impress?
In that reservoir, Orins are rare, not to mention 4spots. That was why it was a prized catch. I was released after the phot taking anyways.
 
That sg hybrid looks awesome! Almost like a temxorino.

Those kelquitti are interesting. Kinda cool lookn.
