How could you KILL RED DEVIL CICHLIDS?!?!?!?! They are so SMART and cute and funny.....WHY?!?!? Loser. :( 

[lspimp21]

@LadyKenichi i didn't kill him what are talking about? i catch and release all fish

[mponcem]

Did he die?

[lspimp21]

@mponcem ofcourse not,he swam away.he was fine

[tamelawash]

what state do u catch those in i live in bradenton

[lspimp21]

@tamelawash we catch theses in miami florida

[pyro707]

i want one for my fish tank. Catch me one.

[WireMan7620]

Wow, that's colorful! All of the ones I see in aquariums are much duller than this one. Since you're in Florida and they aren't a native species, I would not release them back into the local bodies of water. Are you allowed to sell them to pet shops? A midas of that size could easily fetch $20 in a good aquarium shop, maybe even more.

those are great to eat! same with oscars and mayans

@karizma7648 Actually it's not an "artificial breed," it's a pure Amphilophus citrinellus, they arent hybrids, they just aren't native to US waters, they are from central America.

[karizma7648]

these all r artificial breeds,,,hw u can let dem freak around in natural habitat ,,plz dnt mess wit the ecological balance

[PhivTooSix]

@lspimp21 You should have killed him. It's a non-native species.
