Hi George,

To tell the truth mainly the African cichlids have been popular in Hungary 
since the mid 1970s. I don't know why, but the dwarf cichlids are not among 
the favorites not counting the small ramirezi. I guess it is because the tap 
water here is medium hard (or hard) and alkaline - quite good for African 
cichlids - and the average cichlid keeper doesn't want to deal with water 
quality to make it suitable for dwarfs.

That is why only some of the Apistogramma species are available in Hungary 
like agasizzi, cacatuoides, borelli and some others like ramirezi. They are 
usually brought in the country by retailers from Germany and Austria - and 
Czech Republic has also strong traditions in breeding fish species, among 
them dwarf cichlids. The Hungarian retailers are ready to accept orders for 
other Apistogrammas or exotic dwarf species. The problem is to find 
compromise beetween a foreign wholeseller and the Hungarian retailer. The 
wholeseller is not always want to sell small ammount of fish for the 
retailer, and the retailer doesn't want to risk his or her business buying a 
lot from a particular species.
