hey everyone
when i got back from a holiday down south a couple of weeks ago i was surprised to find that my elongates and my lithobates had bred, both the females were holding. my lithobate soon swallowed her eggs for the second time but my elongates is still holding till this day and i have seen the fry they are very very small. i wass just wondering has any one really had any luck with these fish. any info will be great.

There is, predominantly, 1(one) species of Ps.elongatus in Australia. Ithink recently in the East another one or two species have arrived.
As far as I am aware, the most available species is called 2 different names, sometimes 3, and has been in Aus for a while(10-12yrs). In the East, and one or two LFS's here in WA, they are called "Likoma Gold-bar" but here in the West(where they originated) they are called "Masimbwe".
There are many species of elongatus in the Lake.

There are some PS. elongatus "Chewere" around WA as well - although to be honest I think the "standard" elongatus looks better than them anyway.
