Beautiful pair man, Those are on my must have list. Good stuff!

Thanks for the comments guys.

These are fairly well established in the UK for the moment, there's a few breeding pairs around and a lot of fry.They have all originated from Rusty Wessels wild pair, so down the line at some point, we will need unrelated fish to mix the gene pool.

Those are super nice. Colors kinda remind me of the true Parrot cichlid.

Do they have the funky couple front dorsal spines like the deppi going around in the US?

Wow look at the colors on him!
Those are some real unique fish.

Do you mean that the first two dorsal fin rays are truncated, then yes.

This trait was also found in some of the yellow labridens from Rusty.

The main reason is that, while these young fish were growing, the unit had a massive water change system faliure while he was away.

He apparantly uses no filtration, only constant water changes on a very advanced system.

Fortunatly this trait hasn't been passed on to the offspring.

Thanks for the comments guys.
