All the time. Just not having any luck getting wigglers out of them. I want to find another male or female, see if pairing one or the other up with a different mate might get me some fry.
They killed the odd-man-out not long after I got them. Still a great fish. I love watching them. :)

I'm glad they're doing well.
 
Aquamojo - I think you mean the Chanchito.

Anybody have chanchitos? And those Fliers are gorgeous! Put me on the list for some fry would ya?
 
here's one I used to own

AWESOME!!!! So the verdict is: People still keep centrarchus, but nobody has any Chanchitos? Why, I'm curious.

It's just the avalibility. I mean I love chanchitos but I can't find any except for Rapps.
 
I'm thinking of stocking my pond (still in the very prelim planning stage) with chanchito. They're cold tolerant so I'm thinking they'll be a good choice, plus you don't see many of them so I'm sure people will appreciate somebody breeding them.

You are absolutley correct. My error.

I have both fish. The Facetum (Chanchito) is another under rated cichlid.
