I recently moved to California and I am currently looking for any and all Malagasy cichlids but more particularly any of the Paretroplus that are available here in the states.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. :headbang2
thanks,

Where in Cali are you?

Make sure you visit the ACA website, under the ESP (endangered species program) and visit with Lou Rovner and John Luckshire- these guys are awesome- totally commited to preserving Paretroplus menarambo- you may be able to get a donation or at least buy some at the upcoming ACA convention in Sacramento (many fish have been donated to benefit conservation programs).
best of luck.
 
Rapps has got some new pics up right now of paretroplus menarambo go to tangeled up in cichlids.com
 
great choice of fish...

but i think you must order them specially... they are getting way too rare to find in normal LFS.

but they are a great way to go... ;)

nice poster! I really want a pair of half red/black cichlids now! anyone know what they are?
 
I'm in California and I know someone who imports them from Europe, i think i've already pm'ed you about it. I myself am getting some Paretroplus Petiti. They're not as extinct in the wild as Paretroplus Menarambo but they are critically endangered.
