grubby Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Never been a big African cichlid person, I was looking at the latest Practical Fish Keeping, they had an interesting article on unusual cichlids. Sardine Cichlids were amongst them.Wow evolution is alive and well in the lakes, amazing. Can we get them here ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mone Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Cyprichromis leptosoma's are called the sardine cichlid. It used to be a common name for them and yes you can get a boat ton of different variants in Australia and Brisbane.
