So Whose Got Exotics?

I've been lookin' around on this topic to see whose got some really exotic/rare mbuna. I have only seen the common "run-of-the-mill" ones so far. I figured I could maybe save myself the effort if I just did this instead.

I don't like the common ones (Unfortunately, almost everyone has to start with those to get hooked on the hobby!). So let's see some EXOTICS!

what do you got???? I have a few that are not super rare but not easy to find usually

My 'uncommon' mbuna have included Cynotilapia afra 'Lumbila', Cynotilapia sp. 'Lion's Cove', and Pseudtropheus polit.

My rare mbuna are my Cynotilapia afra 'Mbweca'.

I have Cynotilapia afra "lion's cove", Cyn. mbamba mpanga, Metriaclima aurora "mara"-"cobue" and "lumese", Metriaclime "mbembe deep", Pseudotropheus minutus, Pseud. zebra long pelvic "chesses" and "galeraya", Tropheops "chilumba", Trop. "yellow cheeck" and then I have a species Gephyrochrmis zebroides.
I don't know how rare the different Pseud. elongatus species are there in the USA!

Rottbo, what do you have? My curiousity is killin' me!

Sinister, are you on the IAA by any chance? I know I've seen your name around.

Scotty I forgot to ask you, how well do you like your tropheops? I want to get some eventually.

SinisterKisses · 10-31-2006, 12:28 AM

...What's the IAA? Lol.

I have no doubt you've seen my name around...there's about 7 or 8 forums now I think that I'm a member of.

As for the Cynos...you have to admit, there are a LOT of gorgeous varients

Cynotilapia are one of my top two favorite mbuna, the other being Labidochromis.
