Kudos to Toyin for bringing this in! :thumbsup: This is a fish i've wanted for many years! Pbb truly holds a special place in my heart! i don't think it has completely sunk in yet LOL I would definitely love to get more ;) and to eventually get my dream variant from Lake Turkana/Omo River (hint...hint...Toyin ;))

This guy is collected from Chad (at or near Logone River).

i took some pics over the weekend. It's being quarantined in a 90gal. Please note that the injury on the mouth is due to my stupid mistake. It doesn't have to do with Toyin's fish or his packing.

some pics from the 1st day. i love its characteristic head shape...one of THE reasons why i love Pbb so much. These two shots really show it off well!

i love the headshape, too. great looking pbb
 
Its great to see these fish being imported and becoming more available at last. Lets hope someone has the sense (and money) to put some serious effort into breeding them so we don't have to rely on wild caught specimens.

Beautiful fish btw, you must almost have one of everything by now!
