I know they aren't African and maybe not dwarf, but I have what I think are 4 adult male Iranocichla (F4?). Looking to see if anyone has extra females to trade? Is anyone breeding them? I have got them to breed before but had to sell most of them when I moved 3 years ago.

That was a good find and worth the risk. Closest I ever got to a "rare" Dicrossus was when Atlantis Tropical Fish brought in a bunch of Discrossus sp. Tapajos (labeled as maculatus). I got plenty of males and females out of a group of 20 or so but could never get them to spawn.

I had these guys before I had to tear down the fishroom 3 years ago and would like to get them back. Anyone still keep them? I got mine from Toyin originally.

Benign neglect
You are on a role, Ted. Its funny how when you put all this effort and attention into a fish and nothing happens, then you just kind of ignore them as you move onto other things and they surprise you one day.

Spawning other Parananochromis?
Ted,
Very nice. Do you know anyone with Parananochromis ornatus? Did you ever have luck with P. longistratus? I tried and tried and went through 5 or so pairs w/o luck. Do you think they need the "leaf litter", too?

I got this fish from Toyin about 3 years ago. I never could get them to breed or even co-exist in a 55 G. I had a group of 8 and it dwindled down to a lone male who ended up making the Great Leap of Faith.
I never saw the barring like in the picture, perhaps because they never were in...
You may remember about a year ago Aqua Glaser had Biotoecus sp. Rio Tapajos on their list. I bought some, got them to breed (before the wild caught parents all died off), raised the F1 and got some nice looking fish. There was some question as to whether these were just Biotoecus opecularis...
Janos,
My problem was finding a compatible pair. Once I got that, I gave them a 40G alone with tons of drift wood and some plants and pretty much ignored them and next thing I knew there were youngsters scooting around the bottom. I've never had luck taking the fry away from the...
Nice pictures. The regani are the only pikes I ever been able to leave the babies with the parents. With my notophthalmus spawns, the male always went nuts and attacked the female.

I have lots of young F1 Dicrossus maculatus (1/2 inch)- I'd like to sell them in group of 10+. For 10 I'd like $50. Let me know.
I have one last pair of Dicrossus sp. Tapajos - will sell for $60. Let me know.

I have a wild trio of C. dimidiatus. They have spawned before but no fry. I'd like $50 for the trio (OBO). I can ship with breather bags via Priority for $15.
PM if interested.

My only success I had with them came when I put a group of 6 in a heavily planted 10G with driftwood and kind of ignored them. A pair found themselves and next thing I know I had some very tiny fry. pH was below 6 and it was 90% RO water. Temp 77-80.
