What cool NW cichlids are available in the trade atm?

Rapps has Briedohri in stock. Can't go wrong with that. The Gold Morph managuense is a stunner. Local fisherman call it the fish of a thousand casts because that's how rare it is to catch...king of the guapotes.

Can I do a pair for a while in a 75? I plan to upgrade to a 180 at some point in the future but it will probably be years.

Btw Mo, your pics and fish are always stunning.

Wait. Rapps has this variety of gold without markings? I should of never looked in here.

He does. Same vendor as mine.

Sure. You can get some grow out time in a 75. The bigger tank is a must, though. That goes for either the Briedohri or the Managuense I mentioned.

Dan at Cichlids of The Americas is in Florida. He's a solid guy and has some quality fish. Can't go wrong with either him or Jeff.
