o no that's all i need is a new obsession. The guy at capital cichlid assoication meeting gave a talk about kribs, and after getting some new kribs, these newbies took a hankering to cory barbels and for some reason started killing cories. so that was an unfortunate by product of the krib obsession. : (((

Anubiasdesign's website says they will be at Aquafest2007 and they list M. praecox as being available. You might want to cal to see if they are indeed coming and if they can bring you a male.

Wow, nice fish! I especially like the look of the parva and duboulayi. Good luck raising them! I assume you're getting them to try to breed?

Yeah that was one of the fish I was looking at getting if we did a group order/pickup from him.
