Benthochromis tricoti
« on: June 29, 2014, 09:33:45 PM »
I'm looking for a group of juvenile or sub-adult Tricoti.  I live in southeast michigan, but would be willing to drive. 6-10 juveniles would be preferable.

My recollection is that this is a species which hasn't been bred successfully yet by hobbyists. You might have to locate an importer to find young fish of this species. (Just making mention in case you were not aware.)

These have been spawned in captivity, just not too many people that keep them to begin with because they aren't available very often.

And because of such... they usually have a hefty price tag.
