Rapps still has them in stock. http://www.tangledupincichlids.com/stock.html

Yeah order from Rapps for sure. Eat the shipping costs, it's worth it!

Yeah haha the shipping was a eye opener. Before I pull thay trigger (plus explain to the wife why it is needed) . I should make sure I am correct here. As may have saw I was thinking about doing a black belt in my extra 90 however that is off the table and was thinking of trying to put a pair of loisellei in a 90. Thoughts

I've never kept any Parachromis but I spend a lot of time on these forums. Having said that, I wouldn't put any parachromis in a four foot tank personally.

Hmm I'll have to research more. I was going off a tag on loisellei on this site saying 75 is ok. With males maxing out at 10 inches. Maybe I'm wrong. Thank you though

Think a well bonded pair of loisellei would certainly last quite a few years in a 90 gal. Salvini would be another good candidate.

I think cichlids of the Americas.com has salvini from multiple catch locations available. The minimum order of $100 can be tough, but I won't hesitate to do business with him again.

I would order from cichlidsoftheamericas without a second thought, he made the Panamanian yellow loisellei possible...
