No I don't have any. 
 Did you still have some for sale?

The Fusco is another that I like

I have a limited amount and would have to do a head count before confirming exactly how many. Let me know if you want me to check.

Fusco's are nice, but I've never seen any females or un-sexed juvies for sale locally. I've only ever found the odd male juvenile. I've only kept 3 males, all at separate times, and including the one I've got currently they've always been the most aggressive "Nimbochromis" sp. I've kept (out of venustus, livingstonii, and linni FWIW). If they haven't already, I won't be surprised the day they are removed from being Nimbochromis and moved to a more fitting genus such as Tyrannochromis.

I'm good on the Livingstoni right now. No need to count,  thank you though

Now that you point it out - I haven't seen any unsexed/ female Fuscos either.  Which makes me want to breed them over another even more.

I'm I reading this post right, Blair wants to come to the other side?  The dark side!
or this thread could've been a scheme to "instigate " Ron into posting.  ;)
I do like the predator Cichlids though.

Hey, Blair if you are interested in some livingstoni, Bruce at aquatic treasures has a really nice male and he was telling me someone offered him a female as well.  The male is a nice 6.5 to 7".

Where is Something Fishy at?  Is this the one in Cleveland, OH?

Are you sure? Based on recent threads you've been buying a lot of tanks and certainly have room SOMEWHERE?

If not, just get another tank.  ;)

I picked up a Quad of peacocks last week.  So, don't worry my African tank has been started. ;)
