I have about 20 unsexed Kyoga flameback (Xystidichromis sp. 'Kyoga Flameback') fry available for $8 each or 5 for $30 plus shipping. The fry are about 1" long and raised from my own stock. They are currently on a mix of crushed flake and Hikari Cichlid stable baby pellets.

I ship with Kordon breather bags. 72 hour heat packs are available for $1 each. Payment is via paypal or cash if picked up. Shipping is via USPS, although I can send FedEx or UPS if requested.

Here is a pic of the papa

Live arrival guarantee on overnight shipments only. In case of DOA, you will still need to cover shipping for any replacements. Pictures of DOAs must be e-mailed within one hour of arrival. I will ship priority, however there is no live guarantee.
 
Unfortunately they'd probably beat up the apistos once they get full grown. The papa is about 4" SL and I have one sub male in the tank that's pushing 5 inches. Additionally, since Apistos are South American and these guys are Victorian their requirements around water hardness and pH are a bit different, although these guys have done ok in as low as 2 degrees hardness, right now I keep them closer to 8 gH (4kH).

They're great fish to keep though. Good personalities, and they always greet me when I'm within 5 feet of the tank. When I first acquired the colony I had to stop my partner from overfeeding them since they would splash at him begging for food every time he walked by. They're also a CARES species although I'm still in the process of registration for my particular colony.

I forgot to mention that the one in front is not an albino, I just didn't use redeye reduction on the camera.
 
I'm dropping them down a bit. They're now $6 each or 5 for $25 plus shipping. I'm also willing to trade for Paralibidochromis chromogynos females as well.
 
If I had my 55 set up I'd jump on some of these. Victorians are awesome! So...bump.
