So my parachromis Yellow head "La Ceibas" have finally spawned and I was wandering who else has these guys and who has spawned them? I was told that there were only 5 pairs known of, but considering the size of the hobby I couldn't believe that I of all people would have the only other pair besides these 5 pairs.... :irked:
I have done my home work and I know Ken lost his f0 female and maybe his male and Rusty has an f0 pair and I know there was one other fo male dead or alive I don't know.

anyway here are some picks...

I would think there are a lot more than 5 pairs. I bought some at the ACA convention in 2009, a pair formed quickly, and they bred. I don't have that pair any more. I ordered some more this past February from TUIC, and another pair quickly formed, and they have bred. I posted a thread about this pair. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=395931

There are still over a dozen fry still with the parents, they are getting bigger, I'll post some updated pics in that thread maybe tomorrow.

Your pair looks great. I think this species breeds rather readily and at a very young age.
 
My F1s are from Ken, I have fry growing out right meow

I have an F0 male and F1 female. The male killed his F0 bride and then another F1 female. I also have another breeding pair of F1....and a couple dozen 3 - 4" grow outs.
What don't you have? Hahaha
 
I really like the look of Kens better. from what I've seen the ones ken has tend to have more purple color and shorter fins the ones that I've seen from Jeff have longer trailing fins and more of a slope to their heads.

Purple and shorter fins? What fish is that?

Here's my F0 male:
