Great history lesson. I tried to purchase these from Gaus but at the time he wouldn't sell females. That's probably changed by now but this is quite an intriguing fish. I had an OB baby of Perspicax Ndumbi but lost the fish after a friend took care of the tank while I was on vacation.

Now I think females no problems

What a beautiful variant and they all look very placid and laid back haha!

[@hagebycikliden569]

Yes it is very nice 🤩

Congratulations to Christoffer for this selection of Labidochromis. Years ago I had some very red "super red" Hongi, I think they were also an Eastern European selection. Thanks for share!

[@hagebycikliden569]

The first go from Sweden to Germany and then to many places around the world
