In palm beach where my parents' house is i see these guys spawning all of the time along the canal banks. Such a vibrant, beautiful fish.
Congrats on your fry

Good one.

read palm beach and thought sydney but then realised hehehe.beautiful colours..

Palm beach?? this are south americans Dane. or did someone free a pair to a local stream?

John can 1 RT be in a 30Gallon by its self for long time??

congrats, very nice

Juan, depends what you consider long time.Maybe 1.5 yr

IDK maybe as long as possible. ??? what do u think?

Juan yes in palm beach, i know where they come from. I've also seen many oscars and blue acara's in the canals to. Many central and south american fish have found thier way into florida waterways.

ohhh Dane buddy sound like time for a relaxing/collecting trip to palm beach lol . have u catch any??

Yea all the time back when i go fishing down there. There were actually a spawning pair in my pond, along with the blue acara's i stated. Sometimes if your lucky you can see 2ft koi swiming down the canals lol.

John, I need some fry to get a female..

nice!

Juan, there are all kinds of fish in the canals in S. Fla. Water is great for them and people get tired of them and dump them in the canals.

Dane, Born and raised in Luaderdale,(just got back from there) had a house in WPB before moving north.;)

Oh dang i want to go there and get me some! man you guys have like your small piece of central/south america down there. any geophagus?

I went to a place down in Homestead last week, a hatchery...angelshatchery.com and they have them in ponds yr round instead of tanks....with Japaneese koi no less. Great place btw.

Cool 'sm'. I used to live down in Ft. Lauderdale before i moved up to Palm Beach. But now im in gainesville.

Lol juan, i've yet to see a geophagus but im certain someone's pond has a few.
