    I had this fish but did not managed to get a good pix. Plantas used to have to have it quite often I think. Anyway have pix of his cousin C. acutirostre.

    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Nope. No pictures from my end. Interesting fishes and I've seen them displaying to each other. Had a pair, but lost one. The other one is lost in the 5 ft tank. But I've never seen such lovely colors from my pair.

    Cheers,

    p.s. you can always in the general freshwater fauna section for species that does not have their own sub section.
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    The last few pieces I saw locally were at CS before it closed down. Try Eco/CF , I think I saw them there too but that was sometime ago. They don't seem to be popular fishes.
    Fish.. Simply Irresistable
    Back to Killies... slowly.

    Handsome fish.

    mick, any pictures of the females? Do they exhibit the same colours/patterns as the male or look largely different?

    Walah, picked up a couple of these from C328 just now. However, don't know if they are male/female pair as they are in fright colouration, and rather emaciated too. Not sure if I would be able to keep them alive.
