Ive got some listed on aquabid currently. Only 4 left. My buddy's store will have another 40-50 ready in a month or so.
You told me there were only 10 of them when i bought them all.....
....and they weren't an inch like you said they would be, they were barely 1/4" 
. They are doing great now and are almost 3/4" of an inch, just made things a little more difficult housing them being so small. Oddball has had to grow them out for me cuz they would have gotten eaten otherwise. Maybe its just cuz your not there in Washington to actually see the fish that you are helpin your friend sell and he is giving you inaccurate info. I packed and shipped those fish personally and after I got there. I told you they werent an inch like my buddy said. Take a look at a ruler and look at 1/4 inch....they were more like 3/4 inch and I apologized to you at the time. Thats TL (inc the tail) not SL.
He miscounted and he actually had 24 of these-they were in a planted tank with wood and decor in the store. He had already sold 10 to 'cichlidlvr' in Fl so he was under the impression there were only 10 left. There is another group of them coming in to the store sometime in October that will be an inch.
They arent that tough to breed when you get a pair ready to go....thats the trick as youll see when yours get 3-4"...they hate each other when a bit larger unlike specs and kraussi.
Again, Im glad you like the fish and again, please accept my apology for them not being as large as I thought.

Thankz for clearing things up man, its much appreciated. They fight more than Caquetaia spectabile do? man, my specs. are having tussles left and right, i better get some really large tanks for these myersi then...haha...
They hate each other like poison. Ive had them a number of times and really struggled to keep them together....even in 100g+ tanks. Good luck, they are very cool!

Lovely, probably the hardest to find and the most aggressive towards each other!! How awesome is that? Oh well, I'm used to aggressive cichlids not likin to be together....
They're WONDERFUL!
