thinkin he snapped those at a breeders in germany,not 100% sure,dont quote me lol,again like you say,not much info and not too many have housed them,the info i gathered,they get fairly big,and apperently have a temperment,along the lines of a simo...........so im sure they get nasty also,one of my buds in vancover says hes unloading his digrammas to get some of these sent over to him,he's from germany also,lucky guy,all the nice stuffs over there lol...........pretty sure if you got the cake,airfish has them lol

I've read that they get large and very aggressive; all that I know for sure is that they're rare and expensive.

Sounds like a keeper! I'm have to track these fish down. I know Steve with VA had some last year. I do not know of any other time, but I'm sure they been in the U.S. before.

large and very aggressive....rare and expensive.

Really?

Say no more! I want them.

im sure you can find them thai lol,and when you do lmk lol

[myjohnson]

It's just a waiting game on these. I think exporters can get them....I think it's a matter of them not being to popular rather than them actually being rare.

From what I know they are not deep water fish or isolated to the congo side so they can be collected relatively easy.

The pictures you see on Cichlidexplorer came from Gernot but were Ebbo's (Chris's) fish. I've talked with Chris several times about getting some fry but all the adults died before they were able to do the dance.

I've contacted Alexander Kotrschal from the Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Bern in regards to "Simochromis Pleurospilus". He had also studied Pseudosimochromis Curvifrons and told me they are not as aggressive as Simochromis, however the dominant male will kill all other males in the tank. As for the size, they stay relatively small 4.5 - 5". The species from the norther part of the lake has the cool looking blue color. The fish is available and he was willing to give me his contacts but the minimum was 10 boxes or something.
