Jimmy Aw 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2005 Here's my little red fish. This ornament cichlid species, named "Red Parrot" is a sterile hybrid created just for the aquarium & will not be able to breed as told accordingly. Should be another of those discard ones from some irresponsible owner. Managed to sight cast & fool it with my dragonfly nymph. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GHow 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2005 Cute littlle bugger. Isn't that what they said about Jurrasic Park? I'm done with the freshwater flies for the swap but I'll tie yours on a stainless hook. Questions for you. Is yellow the best color for your Barramudi action? Are they feeding on baitfish? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You guys are fast! Not exact Yellow... At times, white & pink & at times black flies. It all depend on the water conditions. But Yellow is one of my favourite color selection for flies! Just for further info..... the last Barra that I hit was actually preying on the baby 10" Tarpons... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
