Title: Have you seen this fish?
Post by: Ciesl2ja on April 10, 2014, 08:02:53 PM: Hello there,

I am in search of a hard to find Mbuna called pseudotropheus galanos mbenji island. I have found a group overseas but it would be fantastic if a more local person had some fry they would like to sell me <3

Post by: Ciesl2ja on April 11, 2014, 11:46:53 AM: I have asked FF and Preuss if they have any on the lists and they have not gotten back to me yet. I'm crossing my fingers though. Once I find a specie I like; then I must have it ;)

Post by: Ciesl2ja on June 16, 2014, 11:28:12 AM: These guys are pretty tiny and exceedingly difficult to take pictures of. They look almost exactly like young Williamsi at 1.5 inches.
