Ok rise zombie thread!
Well it seems Profundicola were getting around in Sydney in 2005 as some were up for sale at an auction soooooo
I can only keep asking...
Yep if any other nice larger size lepidio's pop up Im very keen guys...elongatus..cunningtoni...I was lucky enough to get some of the attenuatus recently so some good news there..
Yes lovin the lepidios !

QUOTE (goldenswimmers @ Mar 1 2013, 07:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Im thinking your right mate...seems the L.profundicola never made it here so bad news on that front...I have been able to source some kendalli and now might start looking for some L.elongatus....so anyone seen these guys around lately..I know they are here so just hunting I guess
Plenty elongatus in Perth about 3 years ago.
Maybe a wtb post may extract the last ones standing.
They have shown up again on rare occasions, there must be some.
Yep seems there was a few in Perth a few years back..what happened???....is there seriously no one still keeping this fish??..amazing the cycle these Lepidios go through and why Im really keen on these guys ...these fish could be so easily lost for good and that would be sad...and quite a few fishkeepers might not even know they existed ....
L.Elongatus

There is someone on ace in the breeders registry that has young colonies of elongatus and Kendali.
Im thinking that's vadnappa...and Ive been in touch with him...someone else(aqc) has also had luck with both of these guys that I know but the elongatus is still in a precarious position as in terms of livelihood in the hobby...Im saving my mooola for the elongatus but in the mean time I will keep an eye out for other possible populations plus the profundicola and cunningtoni varieties...we might be lucky enough to put in some breeding efforts and keep all the varieties we have alive and more stable in the hobby here...

Would love to see them, if anyone does find any Profundicola id consider selling my little mangrove jack and rescaping my 6x2.5x2.5 into a tang tank.

Id like to see more people show off the big adults..surely some people have the lone kendalli survivors from "in tank" massacres
I think people seeing these fish in display tanks/full sized adults etc would really make the unawares appreciate them more...really are a unique kind of cichlid..
Little side note Ive been able to line up some more Kendalli from Vebas...and do agree with the above mate...there the type of fish when the numbers are high they don't get noticed...but when they go they don't pop up again for some time it seems..and yep that good ol aggression issue!...
Also a couple of snaps of the Attenuatus I was fortunate enough to get my hands on recently
