thanks dragon........
the bifas on the right came from a board member who got it from Rapps. The other one (left) was originally bought 2 years ago from a LFS as a 2" Synspilum. So, I'm not certain of its "purity".

thanks Sayers.........
the Bleekeri (and their small spot cousin Polleni) are from Madagascar, but have the temperament of a CA-SA cichlid. Their unique black coloration makes them just that....unique.
I highly recommend them.
BTW, I have marveled at your male Synspilum for some time......

Sorry to hijack the tread, but yes the synspillum and the nicaraguense on your website sayers are to die for.
:bowing:
gregga, i like the bleekeri, i'm partial to dark-colored fish with irredecent/colored spots. Like jack dempseys too.

Hey, thanks to both of you for that! 
I've been hoping the Synspilum would breed, they have been acting like they want to, but no luck so far. They can't seem to settle on a good spot in the 180 gallon tank. The breeding Midas seem to keep things too stirred up.
A few days ago I moved two of the Nics to a 55 to try and breed them. They have bred a few times in the 180 but could not protect the fry. The two in the 55 now just lay on the bottom and hide and won't eat. Arghh! :shake:
