Found this guy in galveston

[allysangels]

the ones i had were given to me, i was told they had been "rescued" from polluted/drying up ditches at around 2-3 inches and grown out in a 125g tank with similarly aquired mexican tetras.

[mistahoo]

Any place up nw side have them? I tried looking for them before but couldn't find any

[allysangels]

yes they are

[HERM]

Are these Texas Cichlid as well ? They are plentiful in the ditches at a refinery I used to work at, They seem very territorial . I used to watch and feed them at lunch.

i had about a dozen of these in a 6 foot tank with 4/5 breeding pairs, none of mine had humps that big! impressive! i highly recommend these fish if you can get them, the breeding coloration is spectacular.

Hi, I have caught 7 of them in mason creek, katy. All of them are 6-8" size. I had put 2 of them with my 4 bigger tiger oscars. It seems peaceful so far...

Yet you caught one and are going back for a pair...

lol you really are an idiot, aren't you? he says you should "admire from afar" yet he caught a fish, then is going back for more. get it now, genius?

He says right here he didn't keep it.

No I didn't keep him. There are 5+ pairs just along the bank of the pond. I'm going to go back at some point and get pairs. I feel kinda bad splitting up pairs. Did a bit of googling, and haven't found any pics with a hump that big. When I first saw them swimming around, I thought it was a flowerhorn. I've never seen another fish with a head hump that large.

I dunno what all the anger is about.

I would not tell y'all where I got my stash either.

nice looking fish!!

[decal]

dur tell me where these fish are, derp derp

[decal]

consult a dictionary and educate yourself on the meaning of hypocrisy, home slice. he can collect and still prefer not to divulge the location on a public forum in order to protect the stock without being hypocritical. it wasn't even a response to you, but thx for taking it all extra personal and getting pissy.

is there any way to turn off auto notifications?

lol, that doesn't mean what you think it means. Keep it going guys, we can keep bumping this thread foreva...

[alexrex20]

Jesus you freakin idiot, I really couldn't care less about where he caught the fish. I just don't appreciate hypocrites.

[decal]

Jesus you freakin idiots, read what he wrote, accept it and then go find your own.

[alexrex20]

I really want to keep these guys happy. Not ganna share and let them all get fished out. One of those... admire of afar kinda deals.

Yet you caught one and are going back for a pair...
