Schwetzochromis neodon

Postby Dave Schumacher » Sun Dec 12, 2004 11:11 am

Does anyone have any Schwetzochromis neodon or know where I could get any? Has anyone ever kept them before? There isn't much info out there about them, just some great pictures. I gotta have em, and I think I speak for Gas as well.

Thanks!

Quoting from Lamboj's book...

- endemic to Lakw Fwa in the DRC
- max length 14 cm
- herbivorous
- highly aggressive on each other
- big tanks for dominant males
- ovophilic, agamous, mateernal mouth brooder
- small clutches.. about 30

Sounds a lot like a rift lake cichlid...

There was no information about water chemistry.

It's very hard to find !
I've got some many years ago, unfortunatly 7 femalles and 1 male, as I gave 4 to a friend of mine.... he got the male and lost it !
There is a group in a public aquarium in St Malo (France). Unfortunatly it seems very difficult to get yougs or fry ! they never answer to the mail I send.
I don't think that the species has been exported for about 15 years.
The pics are here :
