Gage at Cichlid connections carries all three types on his stock list. http://www.cichlidconnection.com/price-list.html

I would shoot him an email and ask for pictures.

Dmd that where I got the collection point deform lol. To me the first looks best. How is your regani aggression wise from what I have read they are less aggressive than Syns and zonatus

Mine came from Wet Spot (Portland, OR), then went to 3 MFK members before it reached me in WA state. LOL, a hand me down cichlid.

The black really has faded out now and his head is starting to look more pronounced with a bit of nuchal hump. I would guess Rio Jaltepec location by the way mine looks compared to the first picture by Rocksor.

My Regani is very passive and is dominated by my big female Pearsei. Even though it has a smaller red bay snook and heterospilus in there, it does not chase or bully anything. Ive heard others have had problems with aggression but mine is mellow.

From what I read the regani is a much cooler customer than the zonatus aquascape has both. How do you think either would do with my stock

Dory and the HRP would quickly settle the pecking order. My concern is that now Dory is in charge she may not give a new cichild a chance if it is perceived as a threat... unless you could find one that was bigger than her. Or she might accept it just fine because it is smaller and then as it grows she wont even notice. hard to tell with these guys.

get both the regani and zonatus and see which works out better.
