Thoracochromis brauschi

[JustRon]

I got them in the BABES

auction. Now if I can get them breeding!

Saw a pic of one in the

BB, WOW! Gladly take some fry off your hands if you get them to breed.

They are absolutely beautiful

fish. When the male is in the mood the intensity of the red in his chest is incredible. It is

unfortunate that more West African gems like those are not kept.

I will let them settle in for

a few days and then try to get some pictures of them.

I left the auction room for a

few minutes. If I had stayed, this fish would have cost you more than they did. http://cichlid.ipbhost.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

I am glad you stepped out

then.

They are becoming a bit more available recently. I bought mine at the LFS

for $20 each.

I didn't stay at the

babes auction long enough to see what they went for. Are you willing to tell us what you paid?

Great thing about BABES

auction is the BABES do not get the money, Jordan and Loiselle funds get it. So if I drop

$300-$400 at the auction it is like making a donation and getting the fish for free. http://cichlid.ipbhost.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif

it was 40 for the first pair,

they are about 3". I agree Bob, it really is fun and for the funds.
