I saw a thread from Natural_Born_Killer inquireing about texas cichlids and it got my gears turning. So I grabed my fins and snorkel and made the 45 min drive down to a nice section of the Comal River. After floating/snorkeling a way and about 1 1/2 hrs into the trip I came up on a pretty deep part of the river and found a whole colony of Cichlids, the adults were much to wary and fast to catch but I snaged 6 itty bitty guys. I got them home, and tossed them into a 10g. Well after some precautionary treatments and QT time I picked the looker of the bunch and put him in my grow out tank and sold the others to the LFS. This was my first time collecting, and it kinda puts a personal attachment to the fish I must say. However he dosent seem interested in any pellets...blood worms and mushed up bits of krill are the only thing I can get him to eat, but im working on that. Anyhow here are the best pics I could get, hes a fast mover.
which prompted the parazi bath this guy got.
