Nice stuff.

[Marko Lenac]

are the Rio Bascan fish from france?

[Michael Kwist]

@Marko
The lentiginosus are from Germany and the Socolofi are from Rapps and he got them from Rusty Wessel.

[Norcal_Cichlid]

Why is it that you can get Lentiginosus in europe fairly easily and they are non existent here in the states. My favorite fish! Great tank.

[Michael Kwist]

They are not easy to get here, i don't see them for sale in shops.. i had some luck that i got a tip that they where for sale somewhere.
We brought also some to the UK to Rick So they will come there also around

Now i need to get coeruleus..

I had also some Lentiginosus from Rio corzo these are now by a friend.. we will try to spawn them to get these also around.

[Marko Lenac]

Now i need to get coeruleus..

me too!

[Michael Kwist]

I think that they will come around over a time.. the pitty is.. that they don't have much fry. and they are sensitive at a small size.

Lovely tank & fish

[Rick Thibert]

Gorgeous fish! Love the lents and I thank you for swapping me some fish for the lents.....................

They are doing well, all 12 still happy and eating like pigs............... any food doesn't even hit the bottom............. Little and often feeds, hoping they'll grow into beauties!

I hope I can breed these and share them with my fellow cichlidiots the world round!

[Kevin Cumberton]

Very nice! Do you know what race that synspilus is from?

[Norcal_Cichlid]

I'll try to post some pics of my coeruleus colony. All wild adults. 6 of them.
