Dear Chugger,

Sorry, I'm not aware of any wild Hemichromis cristatus coming into the country for some time now. Toyin Ojo is offering a Hemichromis species that he calls H. cf. crisatus, but I have seen a photo of this fish, and it is not H. cristatus or anything that resembles H. cristatus. If you'd like to ask him about it, his web site address is http://www.rehobothaquatics.com/index2.html.

Good luck!

All the best,

Randall Kohn

Dear Chugger,

Congrats on your new acquisition. The fish that you have from Toyin are either Hemichromis lifalili or an undescribed species that has been collected in Kinshasa District, DR Congo. I'm leaning toward the latter.

When they are grown up, would you kindly photograph them and send me some photos, please?

As for H. cristatus, a hobbyist I met at the Atlanta ACA convention had them for sale. Please email me privately for his name and email address.

Good luck!

Randall Kohn
