The Devil Went Down to (insert the name of your town if you'd like to order some)!
After about 1 1/2 years, wild Nicaraguan cichlids are back again.

I will do my best to select a certain color - like red, red & black, black barred, red/purple head barred, etc.
Prices are as follows:
red, red & black labiatus 5-5.5" @ 85 ea, 6-7" @ 110 ea.
