Have you heard of a 'Demasoni'?

[Lila]

LFS has a breeding wild caught pair. He wants me to breed them, but, I can't find anything on them. He is told what their names are by the supplier, and sometimes, I know his supplier has been wrong before.

They are definatley cichlids....black and blue colored. Not Johannis either.

I wish I had a pic to show ya. But, if someone has some info....please?


Thanks

Becareful, they are one of the meanest africans. Need big tanks and big groups, so they don't kill each other. I don't think having a pair is a good idea. Good chance the male with kill the female.

For more info check out www.cichlid-forum.com, ask some people there about their experiences breeding this fish.

Good luck, they are mean little buggers

They are my favorite African, but yes, ounce for ounce, they are one of the most aggressive fish you'll ever keep.
