Tomacichla Asfraci (where to get)

[FishKing5]

I know these are incredibly rare but does anyone know of anyone who has any for sale in the United States. Dan of cichlids of the Americas and TUIC were the only guys I know that had them but are both out of business now. Thanks for any help you can provide.

There was member of the Minnesota Aquarium Society who had a breeding group a little over 10 years ago, (don´t know about these days)
I was able to get some fry from him back them, but they didn´t last.


And because of the restrictions of exporting live fish from Panama these days.....importing is nearly impossible.

When that fish came around there was alot of deformities in the fry i remember, the most recent ones (last 10 years) have looked great i think a friend in Chicago still has them…

If you’re interested reach out to Dave. He does ship nationwide in the US
JasonsPlecosCichlids had them at some point, you could ask if he can source them again
