what fish are considered guapotes?

[the animal guy]

is a ramsdeni pretty rare?? i havnt really seen them being sold even on here, and never in any lfs that ive went to.

why would any body want them? They are like Haitiensis only not as good looking. Maybe that's why you dont see them.

I bet if I post a for sale thread with Ramsdeni here for $400 adult pair, it would be sold in 24 hrs. Rare and beautiful to many, seems more experienced keepers want this fish.

Guapotes is the term used in Central America for fish of the genus Parachromis, I've never heard any local call Pentia guapotes.
Ramdensi is not in the hobby because they are hard to bred and have died out since there is no collecting in Cuba, that may change as our government removes travel restrictions to Cuba. Ken

there was an article in TFH in the mid-90's about them, and a collecting trip...don't know if anything from that ever made its way into the States via Europe or anything.
