Mangaraharan cichlids

Doubt anyone around here has these, but thought I'd post it.  Only a couple bachelors left in the world.  They are looking for females.

  I saw an article last week reporting that 18more were found.  If I remember I'll post the article here, when I have more time.

Cichlid-fourm.com just did an article about these and yes they just took a bunch from the wild.

Too bad people have such an impact on nature.  Hopefully breeders and help out.
