+1. The males get some really nice red markings between the dark bands. This is one of the larger species of Paretroplus reaching nearly 14". Awesome pickup. Give them a tank for themselves and shoot for being the 1st to breed them in captivity.
Why do you guys think this is P. maromandia?
I've been out of the Malagasy cichlid circle for a while but maromandia was completely out of the hobby a few years ago. Has someone recently collected and spawned maromandia? I would think they would be a rare find and would be labeled with their correct species name. From what I know of Malagasy cichlids this fish in question would likely be the more commmon Paretroplus menarambo. Has maromandia been introduced into the hobby recently?
