The population that was being bred for research in Arizona no longer exist, Brian Scott (TFH) got a few, but they killed each other off rather quickly. They are found in Western Mexico which is a dry, arid region and many of the rivers they used to be found in are now dry due to people pumping all the water out for agriculture. They do exist, but no other cichlids are found within their range so a trip would have to just be for beani, you could go father south and get into islantums too, but that's a lot to spend to collect two species of fish.

well that sucks...I know a lot of people were hoping that someone would get some fry from them and help get them spread throughout the hobby. and yeah, a trip specifically for just one species would be rather pointless.

wish there were some Thorichthys, Herichthys or Vieja/Paratheraps around then maybe we could get Rusty Wessel down there to pick some up. lol

Ahh, ic ic. Lol, I would do it if I had the money. Just for fun. But I honestly would prefer to spend my time trying to capture some red dovi an the Honduras Jag.
