Do it, they are pretty rare. Did the seller say where the catch location was?

Catch location is Angeles, just waiting to here back from him for the prise

Angeles is the common name, I believe the catch location is Rio Mamantel

Thorichthys meeki delores rio mopan was the first and only black meeki that I personally have heard of.
They were collected 3 maybe 4 years ago by a guy from holland and another guy from Switzerland. More recently a French guy had been breeding them and a few became available.
Apparently you need a decent group as not all of them will turn black.I have not heard of black meeki from rio mamantel, but new thorichthys seem to be popping up a lot lately.
Certainly a nice fish and not very common in the hobby.I got a feeling they won't be cheap.
They are bloody nice though.

rio mopan are different from the Rio Mamantel both types have been collected and bred by the Dutch, from what I have read rio mopan tend to get black throats the rest of the body is lighter in colour then the rio Mamantel. Both types are suspected to come from the same line and then separated by geology, all this has been translated by Google though.

That's interesting. Sounds feasible.
I have been hearing of a black pasionis rumourd to have been recently collected.Ive not seen any pics of them yet but they sound interesting too.
It probably won't be long before thorichthys sp corzo turns up in the hobby(if it hasn't already)
Exciting times.
