I was bored today and did a little bit of cichlid fishing. I have been seeing these Salvini's in greater numbers recently while catching bait and they seem to be pairing up. Well it was hard catching just them as there are always hundreds of hungry mayans and tilapia ready to steal my bait. I managed to catch three that I put in my buddies tank since the ones we see at the LFS look like crap. I caught one a couple weeks ago that was 5"+ but sadly I didn't have my camera that day. Enjoy.

There's a article in #241 of the Buntbarsche Bulletin (August 2007) about catching salvini (among other cichlids) in Florida (Griffin Road Canal for some amazingly red salvini).

How'd you do it? Netting? Hook and line?
 
That's awesome! I gotta get to Florida!
