Have you seen this fish?
« on: April 10, 2014, 08:02:53 PM »
Hello there,

I am in search of a hard to find Mbuna called pseudotropheus galanos mbenji island. I have found a group overseas but it would be fantastic if a more local person had some fry they would like to sell me <3

I emailed today and am just waiting to hear back from him. Such a cool fish that I would love to bring to the hobby here in Michigan :)

Looks neat. I've never seen any available locally. Kind of reminds me of a better looking red-top zebra, LOL.

They were once part of the Ps. Willamsi family but have since been reclassified.

Dave has a group of 20 outside that will breed like crazy for him this summer. I also found them at We Spot Tropical Fish, but of course they sold out of them last weekend -.-

You could ask Dale at FF to keep an eye out/order some for you.

I have asked FF and Preuss if they have any on the lists and they have not gotten back to me yet. I'm crossing my fingers though. Once I find a specie I like; then I must have it  ;)
