Both of the photos you guys posted are very large adult males. Females stay quite a bit smaller and are more drab. Here's a couple photos that I took of a large dovii in an aquarium- Male http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2699/4294207339_83de5ee9fd_b.jpg Male and female and fry in a 600 gallon tank- ht...

That looks like a dovii to me. Very closely related to the jaguar cichlid, but gets a LOT bigger.

Parachromis dovii vs parachromis managuensis if you want to look up the differences.

Technically speaking all the red devils in Lake Wilson are most likely a hybrid of Amphilophus citrinellus and Amphilophus labiatus. When they were first introduced to the aquarium hobby in the 70's people didn't know that they were different species. In the wild 90% of the fish are the barred color...

Little late but their scientific name is amphilophus labiatus. From Lake Nicaragua in Central America.

It's been a while since I've gone out. With work and class I just haven't had the time. Went out Sunday to fish from shore (boat launch) with a friend. Went out today in the nasty weather kayaking for a few hours. Sunday- Here's what I caught. 4 about this size. :rolleyes: http://i146.photobucket.co...

Hey Stan, do you know of a place that sells nightcrawlers for fishing out here? I want to focus on catching some devils and I think worms will work well, but I can't for the life of me find worms.

Stan, that is the nicest looking red devil I have ever seen. I would kill to be able to get my hands on a couple like that to keep in an aquarium.

Do you catch many with the mixed colors?

*Drools*

Man, I need to go fishing.

I always thought if you could mimic a riverine biotope in a enclosed pond out here you could breed them pretty easily. The temperature and habitat is prime for pleco proliferation. Just look at Manoa stream and the reservoir even.

I'm moving to Washington in June.

Good luck.

Cool cool. Always nice to run into another fish enthusiast. I've bred the convicts, Jack Dempseys, and G. brasiliensis. Growing out some different Viejas (including V. argenta and V. fenestratus) and Amphilophus (labatius and lyonsi). I've had to downsize out here...when I move back to the mainland ...

Stan,

Did this already air? If not, do you have any idea when it will? And if it did air...any idea on how I can still watch it?

I haven't made it up in a good while (since it's gotten colder) and I'm thinking of taking off Friday to get some fishing in.

Any tips or tricks with the colder water? How's the water level?

Thanks in advance,

Jamie

I do raise a bunch of different types of fish. I raise more rare stuff though. I have to much money in mine to be throwing them in a lake. Besides Wilson is a poster child for not dumping fish. I think they should do a shock program to remove or reduce the cichlids numbers. The bait fish would trip...

All fish were released. I forgot my camera today so the wife met us at the ramp to take pics. The LM bass were released back were they were caught about an hour after caught and the p-bass were released at the ramp less then 2 hours later. They were in a fully aerated container at all times just li...

I caught Rambo on hook and line in August. He's grown about 2" and put on some bulk since then. Sorry about the glare. He's right by a window. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r265/Haole_Built/100_0991.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r265/Haole_Built/100_0985.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com...

I'd be very interested in the results. I assume they're testing all up and down Lake Wilson?

I want to try some red devil fillets...or maybe an oscar.
