snookie Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Where have all the Quality convicts gone? Do you remember a time when convict cichlids were larger , and the males had an impressive lump on its head ? I Was just thinking about it at work today (one track mind :roll: ) , i was thinking about the pair i had back in the UK many a year ago ..

Caryl Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 It is Murphy's Law. When you have a particular species - so does everyone else and you can't give them away. If there is a particular species you want, they are not often seen and expensive when they do come up for sale :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a particular species you want, they are not often seen and expensive when they do come up for sale :roll: Then a couple of years later that common species disappears and everyone wants it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
