Title: Anybody working with Demasoni or Pseudo. Blue Dolphin?
Post by: Hobbiest on October 27, 2016, 10:05:44 AM: I have seen juvenilles at the lfs so I know some people are keeping them. I have seen few juvenilles available at auctions though. On the forum I saw only one recent post of a member who had juvenilles. Just wondering if anyone is working with Demasoni at present.

Also I have not seen Pseudotropheus Blue Dolphin at recent auctions or for sale of this forum. Is anybody working with Pseudo. Blue Dolphin?

I had a group early on before the prices rose, but mine ended up being 7m/2f or something like that. They seemed to be popular for 2-3 years and since then interest dropped off. I thought that they were nicer than demasoni and not quite as difficult to keep from killing one another.
