Been looking for them for a while, but can't seem to find them. Apparently Rapps imported them a year or two ago, that's all I know. Anyone know where I can buy some?
Rapps managed to get wild xinguensis last month, likely meaning that it's currently possible to catch fish in the Xingu drainage as of now.I don't know of anyone raising F1 so that means the wilds will be seasonal. In the past they've been available anywhere from April to July, but it really depends on a lot of factors. They are from the Xingu and shipments from that area don't seem as frequent. All you can really do is wait and see what comes in.
This was a particularly slow import year for discus and angels which often come in October - January. The waters were too high in most areas for fishing this year. I don't know how that has impacted other types of cichlids, though.
Not just Geophagus species based on my experience... though that was some years ago... I haven't ordered from them since.That's ridiculously high, not to mention that particular vendor has a history of mislabeling Geophagus species. I'd wait until someone else imports them again.
