He just got back to me and I was incorrect in what I said on the previous page about them being F0. My apologies guys.
The only F0 fish in our conversation from that evening were an Acaronia species. He could not confirm what generation the cubans are (F1, F2, F3 etc..) just that they are tank raised.
Thanks Justin. Appreciate you asking. There have been "wild" Cubans around for a couple months now but no one knows how they got into the US (my guess is that they're not actually wild). I thought your guy could supply some answers. Too bad!

Nope, just me being a tool sorry. He was REALLY quick to say no so I have a feeling he's been pressed on that question a time or two before.
I have a mating pair as well F1 I also have fry from them too many time's to count. This last go around they breed in a 29g tank that the fry were raised in. The male is 8'' the female is 5'' and they are 3yrs old. I appoligise for the pics I don't take pic's of them often as I only got them three years ago as ditther's for my other Cichlids. They have grown on me since and now think of them as more then ditther's. The male is in the 240g with the bigger sp. of my collection. The female was housed with my Cerea Cichla Kelberi in a 90g until recently she is now housed with my Fredi Para in a 55g. I am going to just let this pair have the 55g once the Fredi are ready to move up to the 150g.

Haaha Thanks my favorite ditther's. I got these special from Killer Mike. He used to be a Vendor here on the fourm. Really he was they only guy here in our city that was able to supply W/C anything. He had the parent's to these two. This was 3-4 years ago so I am not sure if even still keep's Cichlids anymore. At the time I aquired these and most of my other sp he was going out of buisness. With in two weeks I bought 60% of my breeding stock from him all as baby's except the larger Cichla Pinima I used to own. He trew these in my direction when I told him I wanted to have something beautiful to throw in with my Cichla that will breed readily. I am glad I got them they have been a joy to own and I get to see a majority of there offspring still to this day as I sold previous to mostly friend's any of the fry that I didn't use as feeder's. So I guess that makes them ditther/feeder breeder's.
Dang i wish i would have gotten on MFK alot earlier lol, i prolly could have helped you out with unloading the rest of his stock

Lol yea probablly. I got a lot of Great Quality sp from him. He was a real LFS something we don't see out here in Colo anymore. I am doing my part by trying to keep these wonderful lines in the hobby for my area collecter's but more LFS are closing every year out here.
