Those are pretty neat.  Do they all have the blue lips?

I'm looking for the elusive OB Magunga FulbornAhli



:P

I found these I believe I saw one at (insert LFS) labeled mixed africans and guess what lucky for you they are always on sale!

And if you want to buy local I believe Alan has some ;  )

Labidochromis textilis
How about you settle for some Experatus.  ;)

I have seen a blue textilis but I'm wondering if it is a man made line.  The textilis I'm interested in have a pattern of small yellow and blue horizontal stripes. This will give the fish an overall green looking appearance. The dorsal fin is mainly blue. (referencing the Cichlid-Forum)  I haven't been able to find any of them any where.

I haven't looked for a while but a true all black sailfin Molly was difficult to find.  Use to be a staple in the fish hobby but now they are all mixed to create crappy strains.
I used to be a people person... but people ruined that for me.
