Anyone ever seen them in the hobby?
I used to have a pair about 15 years ago, and traded it in when I was a kid working in an LFS. I have never seen them since.
The blue on them were a bit brigher, though nothing like the electric blues, and they had a red chest that if memory serves correctly, starts from the end of the lower jaw and continues to the anal fin. Pretty sharp looking fish. I wish I had taken a few shots before I got rid of it (or even better, wish I bred them a few times and actually bothered to grow some up and trade some in so they could stay in the hobby by my area).
Where I come from, you see the rarest and newest of the Africans, but Dovii come in about 1x/year, Umbees I see 1x every few years, etc., Most of the JDs in my city seem to all come from a few hobbyists with essentially the same fish, and I was wondering if other areas had this pretty nice race of JDs. I remember it being featured in TFH in the 1990's.. article was titled 'The Mayan Cichlids' or something like that.
