'Heros' urophthalmus
The fish in this picture doesn't look too colourful. Probably because it was collected at night. On one of our trips to México, the three of us (Ad Konings, Juan Miguel Artigas and myself) arrived in the city of Villahermosa. After dinner Juan Miguel suggested we'd go night fishing. So we went to Laguna Las Ilusiones, a beautiful lake right in the middle of the town. Whilst Juan Miguel prepared his cast net, he asked us to take position on the path some 100 meters left and right from where he was fishing. As it turned out, fishing was not allowed in the lake and we were supposed to shout a warning as soon as someone (more precisely the police) approached us. The lake yielded surprisingly many fishes, all of a fair to rightout large size. Apart from this urophthalmus we also caught Thorichthys pasionis, Thorichthys meeki, 'Heros' salvini and a beautiful viariety of Paratheraps bifasciatus.

Pour les non anglo-parlant. Ce petit texte parle d'un pèche dans le Lago de Illusiones. C'est un lac en plein milieu de villahermosa au bord duquel nous avions trouvé un hotel en 2012. Ils ont voulus attraper des poissons au filet en pleine nuit. Il semble que pécher dans ce lac soit interdit. Ce qui me surprend le plus est la présence de pasionis dans ce Lac ... Est-ce normal ???
