David R Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Just wondering what we get in the way of Central American cichlids (not south!). I've seen; Jaguar Parachromis Managuensis Red devil/midas Amphilophus labiatus/citrinellus Convict Amatitlania nigrofasciata Jack Dempsey Rocio octofasciata Firemouth Thorichthys meeki Redhead Vieja synspila T-bar Archocentrus sajica Carpinte Herichthys carpinte (sold as Texas cichlid) Salvini Amphilophus salvini Nicaraguense Hypsophrys nicaraguensis Am I missing anything? I seem to recall Mystic had something similar to a redhead (possibly another species of Veija) but can't recall its name. I've had a look at The List and found the following, which are allowed but I've never seen for sale; Blue eyed cichlid Archocentrus spilurus (called 'Black Acara' on The List) Texas cichlid Herichthys cyanoguttatus Cuban Cichlid Nandopsis tetracanthus Red Terror Amphilophus festae (yeah they're south american, but I'm going to lump them in here anyway!!) So are there others available that I've missed? And if anyone knows of cubans here then I'd love to know about it! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
