Did I read this right!?  did you just call  African Rift Cichlids die-hart  "IDIOTS!!".. "I hope it was meant as a joke or I miss-interpreted it!"  ...If not..get ready for a verbal / e-mail  "shellacking!!"...Many of us also keep African Cichlids and love them just as much as S.A. dwarfs..

It was more like involuntary gasps for air.  I think even some of the die-hard African Rift Cichl-idiots were amazed!  If this fish does become available in the states, watch out for the feeding frenzy and high prices.  Mike, any idea if it's easy or hard to breed?

 

BTW, excellent presentation.  Folks attending the ACA will be impressed, especially since he's upgrading some of his slides.  My only complaint was that an hour was too short of time to cover Apistos in depth, especially considering that the Apisto world is changing so fast these days with new fish introductions and scientific analysis in the works.  sigh...
