Check out what I got for free tonight, Not 100% sure on the ID but I believe there is a trio of Ophthalmotilapia ventralis (Chaitika) and what appears to be a group of 6 Enantiopus sp. Kilesa



Here are what pics I could grab, they were just introduced roughly 30 mins ago, so still are a bit stressed.

If I am wrong on the ID let me know, comments welcome.
 
OMFG!!!! That is amazing man. How did you do that? That should've ran you over $300 and possibly even more for those. Nice pickups, get more pics when they are fully colored.
 
Okay are you ready for it, my buddy was in PETCO getting a heater because his died, SOME IDIOT dontated these!!! DONTATED! So he called me and was like "man there are some cichlids up here that I have never seen for adoption" I said what the hell man, just snag em I have the tank space....then he shows up with this, they had been in a petco tank for 2 hours..lol :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:

That's a good story. How much did your buddy pay for these? If I had been there, they would've been gone in a second. ;) I have been looking for Kilesa for a long time and never found some, plus they are very pricey. They also have a short life span around 3-5 years which is a downer. Breed them if you can, they look awesome when spawning by the way.
 
My buddy payed nothing, swear to god, these were 100% free, they may be old, because all of them are rather large, lemme see if I can snag a shot to give you a size reference.

All I want to say is enjoy these guys, you will never find them like that. I would love to see you breed them though. :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:
 
Here are some shots for slight size reference, they are an inch or two behind the 5 dollar bill.

They look pretty big, they must be pretty old as well. Are you going to try and breed them? :headbang2
