Laetacara dorsigera

[darylf1]

Looking for Laetacara dorsigera (Red breast acara) to purchase. I am in Salem, OR -USA and would like to acquire 4-5 of this species but am finding them hard to come by. Any ideas on where i might purchase this fish?

A lot of domestic L. curviceps are actually dorsigerea blue/black form. You can identify them by the 'dots' on the dorsal fin and rounder body. This is my male/female dorsigeea (which were purchased as curviceps):

Keep looking at Wet Spot's (Portland) species list online.

Tangled up Cichlids had one on their list I think

Pisces Aquaria in Eugene is really great and might be able to get them in for you on special request.
