a question about Thorichthys SPECIES

[davidefc]

Pasionis are nice, as well as illusionis and a few others that are as yet undescribed.

illusionis ? i could find any any info

Thorichthys Illusiones are Thorichthys Helleri.
They are caught in Lago De Illusiones, Mexico.
There is a thread made by me on cichlidae forum.

There currently is 11 species known(If you count the Coatzacoalcos as 3)

Group 1-Meeki
Thorichthys.Meeki
Thorichthys.Pasionis
Thorichthys.Affinis

Group 2-Helleri
Thorichthys.Aureus
Thorichthys.Helleri
Thorichthys.Socolofi
Thorichthys.Maculipinnis
Thorichthys.Callolepis
Thorichthys.sp.Coatzacoalcos(Mixteco) 'Green'
Thorichthys.sp.Coatzacoalcos(Mixteco) 'Blue'
Thorichthys.sp.Coatzacoalcos(Mixteco) 'Gold'

I only keep:
Thorichthys. F1 Meeki-Laguna la Perdida
Thorichthys. Meeki
Thorichthys. F1 Maculipinnis
Thorichthys. Maculipinnis
Thorichthys. Mixteco Blue
Thorichthys. Mixteco Gold

IMO you can really beat a fully coloured Thorichthys.Helleri or Mixteco Blue.

I soon will have hopefully a wild pair of Helleri and TB Pasionis.

wild pair of Helleri and TB Pasionis.

The place i was getting my Helleri from has run out i do know someone who was selling a pair of them, not sure if he has them.

TB=tank bred btw Jeff Rapps @ tangledupincichlids.com has some juvies now for $7.50, link=http://tangledupincichlids.com/stock.html

If i was you i'd search through MFK and other sites for info on them, i know peanut power has kept and bred them.
