You are allowed two suitcases for international travel and then it's $100 for each extra after that, I take the two largest allowed which will hold 3 styros each and check the bags. No peacock bass that far south, there are stingrays in the Rio Uruguay which we will spend several days collecting. Ken

Two of the best fish ever are located there! Crenicichla vittata, and Crenicichla celidochilus. Whats the point of even bothering with the other fish, aside for supper?

Btw...you should try and catch me some Crenicichla hadrostigma Ken! That would be awesome!

I do not envision myself being able to save up enough to come along.

What kind of Stingrays are they? do you typically catch some and bring them back?

C. hadrostigma is farther north into southern Brazil, I doubt we would see them, we did catch a similar fish in the Rio Quaro (Just south of the Brazilian border), that Felipe says is a new fish, a small species like minuano, but with a more missioneria profile, many bars on the flakes of the males and bright green and salmon colored females. Unfortunantly we lost them on the trip back, we will specifically go to the same spot this year to catch more. If you saved $200 a month you could go in December, just think celidos! Ken

How big does minuano get?

And are there any dwarf pikes in Uruguay?

 

[fishfarm]

Minuano max out at about 6", Many of the pikes in the missioneria group stay small. There are no tiny dwarf pikes like regani. Ken

Ken, how many different austroloheros did you collect? Do you plan on selling any of them? I recently got 4 red ceibals indirectly through Spencer Jack that I've been trying to breed. Very neat/colorful little fish. Nice Just wondering if your bringing any wilds back and if you do, what you planned on selling them for?
