Thanks for posting. How big would you say that he is in the photo?
BTW, I like your funny tag line - so true!

He was probably around 4" at the time. I got rid of them a long time ago, with the exception of the female in the earlier pic posted. She just went out a couple weekends ago, along with a bunch of other stuff I didn't end up having to get rid of...lol. She was in with a blue hrp con and needless to say, some of those spawn were pretty interesting also.

My first post here. I really enjoy this forum. Excellent content and the forum theme is great.

I recently acquired this pair of a blue-finned convict cichlid. They are of unknown province or location. Some well-respected and knowledgeable breeders have suggested they are a very clean form of A. nigrofasciata or A. siquia, not appearing to be a washed out HRP or hybrid HRP x nigrofasciata. I tend to agree. They have very good body form, markings and colors. There are in fact, in the wild, naturally occurring A. nigrofasciata (as identified by field researchers) with blue fins that are not HRP or hybrids, just naturally occurring color morphs. Here are some photos. Enjoy.View attachment 1418147

I'll have to find location info on the siquia. It was just shy of forever ago when I got the F1's. Unfortunately got rid of the breeders because of a relocation that ended up getting screwed up by this covid crap. So now I have F2 growouts left. I'm getting ready to get my nanolutea set up in a breeding tank shortly. I didn't put them together due to the relocation that was supposed to happen. I got rid of a lot of my stuff I'm regretting...lol.
