Good question. I've asked myself the same question many times. I think they're all on GLA.

I actually only have 3 Mbuna species left.
(Msobo, Hayjomaylandi & M'Bamba Bay Labs )

& the correct "fever" I have is Paramphilochromis fever. :P

there's enough hybrids out there.
Plus, how would I be able to have pairs of every Parachromis species? ;)

Post by: Rob S on March 05, 2014, 04:15:36 PM: Not alot of American pride in this group. I fell back in love with the after keeping Africans for a million years. Although I still like the little blue and yellow guys, especially the Hap family, I'm loving my big, colorful, personality filled Americans.

Exactly, they look like miniature Thai Silk Flowerhorn to me & I'd rather have a badass looking 12" fish than a mini one.
