jimbozed Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Not sure if you mean Steatocranus sp. 'Redeye', if so , prolly not in oz Steatocranus casuarius http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/s_casuarius.php and Steatocranus tinanti http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/s ... hp?id=2426 are both available in oz and are definitely two of my favorite fish there are a few breeders around but few and far between.

chump Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 We have humpheads and tinanti for sale at the shop. The humpheads are at the shop but due to the lack of space we keep the tinanti at home, so if anyone would like some you will need to call ahead so we can bring some in.

chump Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 No probs Brado, they might want to get a few from different sources. Just a hint for anyone wishing to breed S.tinanti, the young will pick off any smaller fry so they need to be removed from the tank as they get to around 3-5 cm mark. Otherwise the parents will just keep producing food for the larger fry. cheers T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbozed Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 they definitely aren't the most colorful fish, but they make up for it with character, awesome fish, get some, you will love em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
