i looking to buy some differenct species of crytoheros and archocentrus but i can't seem to find a vender or someone that sells f0 or f1 of all different sorts of these species. can anyone help?
 
I have several different fry right now. Ken Davis also generally has a lot of different crypto's. Ken usually has a few things that he doesn't have listed if you contact him. I think he is Uruguay for a couple weeks right now though. Jeff has some different ones in from time to time also. It will just depend upon what you want.
 
i looking for some panamensis, cf sajica 'gold', nanoluteus, and some spinosissimus and maybe 1 or 2 blue sajicas.

Do you ship and what do you have?

I don't have fry of any of them right now. I do have a panamensis trio that spawns from time to time, just don't have fry right now. Try Cavemart (spelling) on aquabid. He often has panamensis. I doubt you will find any that are F0 or F1 though as most in the hobby as tank bred now.

Nobody has the gold sajica's that I know. I have been looking for a while with no luck

I have several extra male blue sajica's. They are adults. I ordered 7 and ended up with 6 males and 1 female. They are tank bred from Germanmy. I do not know of anyone with F0 or F1's right know. I have a small spawn but they are just a couple weeks old. I think I remember you saying you had one already. Is it a male or female?

Spinosissimus are sort of lost in the hobby right know. A few years back several people had them and they were not real popular and sort of faded out (much like the beani). Now several people want them and no one can get them. There was one lone male in the ACA show but no one had any for sale.

Nanoluteus are pretty easy to get right now. Wetspotx had some recently. I have a lone female that keeps killing every male I try to keep here with. If oyu have a male I can send you her, but she is not to friendly with her previous mates.

Others that I have fry of
F2 lago nic convicts
Marbled cons
Herotilapia Multispinosa
F2 HRP Rio Monga
F2 HRP Blue
F1 Cryptoheros sp Rio Sarstoon
Neets

Try Ken when he gets back and keep a watch on aquabid and Jeffs list.
 
wow thanks for the info, i was starting to figure out that no one had any gold sajica and the Spinosissimus. On dc tropicals website, it says he has some but when i contacted him he said he didn't have any of those except the nanoluteus. i believe jeff has some f1 sajicas right now, and his f1 panamensis get ready i believe. I have F1 cons from rapps that won't stop eating the fry, and f1 red ceibal that should be to size but the female is in breeding color and protecting the overflow box but doesn't have eggs or fry and won't let any of the males in. I have some nanoluteus, 4 now, i believe one died of bloat 2 days ago. i got 5 for $1 at an action, cool little guys.

My sajica is little about 1 1/2" and i don't know his sex. how do you tell?

what do these look like: F1 Cryptoheros sp Rio Sarstoon
 
I got mine from Ken at a great price and Jeff Rapps is my only other suggestion. Those are honestly the only 2 vendors that I have worked with and I dont think I would go with anyone else for cichlids.
 
ya i was going to wait for ken to come back, this lets me save up some cash and buy or build the stand for this weird tanks.

Female of the sajica have a gold dorsal fin. It is fairly obvious if you have a male and female side by side. Do a search in the media lounge. I think someone posted a picture of a female recently that you could compare with.

The Rio Sarstoon look like a spirilus with a red blaze across there face and top fin. They are pretty new to the hobby. They came from cavemart on aquabid. I trade him a cutteri spawn for them.
