i note that there is quite a bit of interest regarding paratilapias, and i happened to find this article that i believe offers some insight into these uncommon fish especially regarding breeding. :) i hope we can begin to have more happy occasions within our small madagascar cichlid keeper community here.

There's quite a "hard-core" Malagasy group on Yahoo, international (includes some of the folks in the article), as well as "homegrowns" like us, who travel to Madagascar with some frequency, trying to rescue the various, rapidly disappearing species. The country is in a bit of uproar, and most of the native population is not terribly concerned with maintaining a bunch of fish. Can't quite remember the name, it's Madfish (group), I'll post it when I get home if you're interested (can't access Yahoo on school computers). They talk alot about bleekeri/polleni as well as other really fascinating Malagascy species; I've found it very informative. FWIT, Renee
