    Not too sure how much they are selling them , but i have seen this fish going for just $6 last time at a Bedok LFS before they converted to all LH.

    Hi Mez, i kept them before... they are very secretive bottom dwellers ... but when feeding time comes,they are the first to dart for the food []. I used to keep them with my other tanganyikas before i changed to keeping water plants.

    It's called Jin Hou Zi(Golden Monkey) in Chinese i think, looks like mini LH but definitely look more natural [] Hwen i first saw them many months ago, it cost about $40... later drop until $20 ... then i can't bear to see the price no more. I saw them at Blue World and Petmart before

    Nope, Jin Hou Zhi (golden monkey) is a LH and doesn't look natural in that sense. If the shop label them as Jin Hou ZHi, I guess they're selling them wrongly labelled. That is one of the hottest breed now and a 1" fry is sold at near S$100.

    Just a short description of Jin Hou Zhi, it's a LH shaped fish with lots of irridescence spots on its body. Body shape is short and round with nuchal hump. Most of them do not have red eyes but yellow/colorless eyes instead

    The fish in the picture is from West Africa also call block head cichlid. It has reduced swim bladder and moves more like a mudskipper in the bottom of the tank.

    Qihun sells a 1 inch baby for $12 I think.
    Serangoon North $15.

    I have two adults with fully develop huge humps. These guys are 5 inches max.

    I have 30 1.5 inches fries. $5 will do.
