Two days ago most of the fish I had died due to my little cousins dirty little hands... I had 6 motaguense and a couple of cons to bring as well as some weird predatory fish and a catfish. The only things that survived were two Motaguense, a 6" female and a 2 incher that shows promise of being a male, and the catfish and the weird fish. This morning I packed up the 4 fish and made my way to L.A. They made it home without a hitch! Right now they are being slow dripped with tied airline tubing to acclimate them to the water and dilute the bag buddies stuff. I will be placing them in their new homes soon enough. I will start a new thread with pictures tomorrow... I've been up since 1AM so after this beer I'm going to sleep.

That's awesome, but that sucks at the same time. Wish all the motas made it. Try breeding that mota female with your RTM male. :D
Can't wait to see pics. :headbang2

Blasphemy!

I'm crashing out!
 
Congratulations on a successful trip. You may have lost a few but you still managed to bring some back. Can't wait for details and pics of your fishing expedition. Are you going to post video on Youtube again like last time?

Whats up brotha!? Thanks! Unfortunately I did not take video this time. Water Currents were too crazy in some parts of the rivers and streams to safely carry electronics. I bought a pelican case for my nikon d80 and it paid for itself about 5 times. I managed to take some good shots which I'll share as soon as I get home from work and find my USB cable.
