Just thought some would be interested in some of the pictures I took in Costa Rica a couple of weeks ago, sorry there's so much 
.
I went on a 10 day trip with the biology department to Costa Rica, and while all my friends were playing football, I was out catching fish in a roadside stream behind the hotel
.
The night before I was chasing a big marine toad, and came across the stream:
Here's some sleeping fish:
And a big crab in there I never saw during the day:
So I came back the next morning with a net:
And caught this molly, which I presume is Poecilia gilli:
And I think the cichlids were convict cichlids:
I got a video of the fish too, youtube link.
Also, one of the places we stayed had tanks with fish caught in the freshwater mangrove canals:
I saw quite a few pipefish from the boat going through the mangroves, but was way too slow with the camera, luckily they had them in a tank:
Cichlid species of some sort:
Belonesox belizanus, a predatory looking livebearer, saw lots of these from the boat too:
Tetras, looks similar to a buenos Aires tetra, at one point I fed lot's of these guys cake from a pier. Ravenous little fish:
Macrobrachium shrimp:
Nerite snails from the boat (camera lens had fogged up), even in nature these guys climb out the water lots:
Here's a view of the main part of the canal to give an idea of where everthing was seen:
And that's all, thanks for looking. I did take pics of other non-fishy things too, frogs, caiman's, birds, lizards, spiders ect, those are on my flickr page if anyone fancies a peek.
