havent seen these guys anywhere for sale , am keen to get some too.

you cant even bring in pairs from over seas as the smallest allowable is 5cm . gold occie females are about 2.5 to cm on a good day so yeah its crap.

was some absolute beuties in perth 4 year ago that Maz used to breed.

these guys are also suceptible to a few deformities which makes ex-east risky , they tend to have crooked spines , and their lips should be bright pink and have a destictive deep frown on the faces , was also hard to get nice coloured ones as some would have dark discolourations when mature .

good luck with your search and put me down for 10 if you can find em.

Cheers
Steve Green

ATM i think i can get Wild Lamprologus ocellatus gold @ $42ea but the freight is too much $150 (nsw-perth) per box so if you gather force with other members who interested then we can do it! i will get more of mine petro but not the gold occie
