That trip is #1 on my wish list.

The fish are labeled incorrecty tho. All the fish that are labeled azuls are actually cichla temensis. As they mature they lose those spots. THey are the largest growing peacock bass and will hit up to 30#+. In pic #20 it looks like that one may be an azul but its hard to tell since its mainly in the water. The ones reffered to as butterfly are actually cichla occelaris. There are over 10 diff sub speices of cichla. SOme of the most brilliant colored fw fish around.
