Does anyone know where i can get these guys??? are they common around here?....Im starting a new cichlid tank now and thinking of these and some fronts. Thanks a lot!!

my mates breeds them but the lot he got at the moment still quite young

Decent. is your mate selling them by any chance? i rmb that hollywood had some but went last week and they were gone :evil:

If you can't get fronnies, would you consider some Ice Blue(red top) zebra? real characters and brilliant colour

I think he might want to stick with tangs

and they would be competing for the same territories, so could get messy

lol yea pretty keen on frons at this stage. ill look into those fish you have mentioned!

do you mean the leleupi will compete territory with the fronts??

No the mbuna- your mix is good

oh good. but where do i get them!!!! i can get hold of some fronts but not the leleupi. does anyone know any source??? :-?

There are a few breeding them now- try a 'WTB ' request in the private trade and exchange.

done, hopefully someone will give me a pm :lol:

Are they really rare in nz or something?? :-?

Relatively rare in nz.. There are only 1 or 2 breeding colonies around, but they have some quite old offspring and as soon as all the colonies of them which are maturing breed they will be easy to come by and at a good price, they're awesome fish its just a shame they do best in colonies in big tanks and don't really do so well in mixed tanks otherwise im sure more people would keep them.

Your lelu's should be relatively easy to find too they are being bred by a few people and I have even seen the orange ones for sale on trademe before. If you plan to keep them with fronts for the long term (years +) the fronts may get big enough to eat them eventually but that will be years down the track.

Thanks for tht in4. Im planning to get some to keep with the frons for now because the fronts thta id be gettin soon will be just baby size......got a 5x2x2 foot tank coming for the fronts and then the leleupi stay wif the 4 foot that i have now.

i didnt no there was orange ones... are they more common? i think those are the ones i saw at hollywood last time then i told one of mi mates and i BET he went and got them :evil:

could you direct me to a source??? you would be a legend

Hi, I have four that I might get rid of about 4cm. I need the room to grow on some fronts as I have another girly holding . if not I have a friend here that has heaps of really young lelu's that he is selling but again im in New Plymouth. The'd be pretty cheap though I think. He goes to auckland a bit I will ask him when the next time he is coming up if you like. Pm me if your interested.

PM'd! 8)
