Congrats on the pickup! These you don't come across easily. I'm jealous! Ray "BigPic" has a breeding pair of Tomocichla tuba if memory serves correct. You might drop him a PM for some first hand experience in the genus.

Lots of pics please

Thanks for info JK" i"ll drop BigPic a pm!
yah buddy! iv bean after some for years! very hard to come by!

Someone i know as a breeding pair!! and from his last Batch of eggs! only 2 young survived!! The problem i believe is that normally with normal cichlids!! its around 14 days from laying and being totally free swiming!!
Asfraci" so friend said!! its 3-4 weeks for eggs to hatch!! and eggs are twice the size of normal eggs!! And problem you get as friend said!! is eggs get a fungal infection!! (eaven with anti fungal treatments)

thats wy these cichlids are very rare in the cichlid hobby!!

Yes buddy! i will get some pics up mate! Thanks!
