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]

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!

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

i believe the german wholesaler invented the name but the first time i saw some here was like 2 years ago and only a few but i dont know if it has been on the market for longer

[@hagebycikliden569]
