Dicrossus Maculatus

[briztoon]

Hey guys,

I've searched this and other forums, and have read as many threads on D. maculatus as possible. But would still like some expereinced keepers to offer some advice on thier care and maintenance.

A LFS here recently got these cichlids in for the first time. I was very surprised with how large they are compared to D. filamentosus. Unfortunately the shipment appears to be all males, but the LFS is going to try and get another shipment in.

I currently keep A. agassizii, L.curviceps and L. dorsigera, so have a little experience keeping dwarf cichlids.

All males eh? You don't suppose that the asian breeders are now breeding them do you :wink:. I haven't seen maculatus for many years but am looking for some.
What fish store ( & what area) has them & how much were they?
Maculatus is a white water species so they do quite well in water of a higher pH & mineral content than is preferred by filamentosus & the other black water types.
