Champsochromis Caeruleus

Looking for a 5"-6" plus one. Willing to pay for a nice size color one.

I seen one for sale on gla. Buckslammer13 had that and a few others that might be on your wish list.
I have about 18,000 rounds of .223 I'm  looking to get rid of, 100 rd bags. 1-4 bags $40 ea, 5-9 bags $38 ea, 10 or more bags $35 ea. I can't put this in the for sale section, its not fish related. No shipping.

GLA = GreatLakesAquaria.  It's an independent forum not affiliated with any particular club that I know of.  The first forum I joined when I got into fish.  :)

An additional fish nerd forum but they do more than cichlids. I posted on the guys thread for you to maybe get you two coordinated. His champ is unsexed so far though.

No idea when they will get to full coloration.  But, I've seen them at 5-6" & only starting to color up.

Steve, in doing some research on these and FWIW they are more of a preditory fish and may not be compatible with your existing fish....Just wanted to share this tidbit with you before I see a post saying you are starting to myseriously loss your fish...

Moby Dick Pet Store in Waterford, MI has a young pair; male is about 6", female about 5".  Not in full color yet, but in good health.  Don't remember the price.

Yep I still want one Ken. I had to put it on hold till I get the 265 up and running but I do still want one. Do you know where you are going to get one from?
