What Cichla come from Sao Francisco?

[Peanut_Power]

Aside from kelberi, what other species of Cichla are available from Sao Francisco? Are they in the hobby much?

I think C. Kelberi Are the only naturally occurring species. Maybe piquiti. But I know that C. Ocellaris has been introduced into the river.

 

[FunWow!]

Kelberi and azuls are the two I know about. I have a São Fran azul from when Wes brought them in acouple years back.

Ah, thanks.

Do your azul look any different than any other azul or not much that is noticible?

Sao Francisco is in the Minas Gervais man-made reservoir. All the peacock bass found there were transplanted and not naturally occurring. Last know species were kelberi and azuls put there, unknown where the original collection points were. There are rumors going around about possible ocellaris being added too but unconfirmed at this time.

Sorry...this is what happens trying to post and drive My post is backwards, Minas Gerais is a man made reservoir close to Sao Francisco River, that's where lot of bass has been transplanted. The natural occuring species in Rio Sao Francisco were kelberi and azul according to my sources but they are starting to see variants that look like ocellaris in the river.

I was just about to question that because Ive seen some Kelberi that were labeled as Minas Gerais Kelberi and look nothing like the Sao Francisco Kelberi.
