Wild caught Salvini

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
To answer some questions these were caught in Plantation, where I catch my bait for snook and peacock fishing. They were all caught on little gold hooks and bread. I went out and caught a few more today. They tend to be slower getting to the bread than the mayans and tilapias, but are more ferocious when attacking. When I get my tank running I would definitely have lots of plants because they live in the shallow grass around the banks. I had a surprise visitor come around while I was fishing. I snapping turtle that ate a tilapia as I was reeling him in. Enjoy the pics. The last two pics are the same fish the rest are different.

nice catch
salvini's at the lfs never have those amazing colors
 
Even if they are "feral" they still look amazing!
 
I know this is an old thread but these fish are still coming out of these waters. And still just as beautiful! Should have me some next week, I can't wait!
