They don't get huge like some of the other Malawi predators but a 6x2x2 would be a good size. I know werdna sold his off but dougo had them breeding a few years ago. Also sorroz nswcs committee member was breeding them. That's where I sourced them for werdna. Might be too long ago but could be worth following up

Cool pics Spilo.
These guys were notoriously hard to get to hold.

only a few left over here and none are doing anything
the guy that was breeding the ones you got Spilo has lost his males
and only has a couple of females left other than that I think there are only
a couple of others with them still

I did keep a few but moved them on a few years back. Spectacular species well worth keeping. 6x2x2 is plenty
If I hear of any, I'll grab some for sure.

I have a young colony here in SA. They bred for the first time a couple of weeks ago but the female didn't hold. My lot are male heavy. I'd be EXTREMELY interested in getting hold of additional females. Link2Hell, if the person you mentioned of would consider parting with his I'd dearly like to talk to him.
Cheers Kathy

Rastinger might be interested in some males from you Kathy. He is in Brisvegas but Im sure he would organise to get them sent if you wanted to sell.

Sorry, but I won't part with any males. I suspect these fish have fertility problems, which is the reason some people have been able to get them to spawn but have not raised fry. We have so few of them in Australia, I'd prefer to keep these fish together at least until we understand what we have.

I might sell lots of my Americans to free up space if some juvies came up for sale...
