P. sp. "crimson tide" have been lost from the EU hobby for many years now. This picture is of a male that I kept 14 years ago, but whom I failed to find any pure females to. There are still some left in the US, but however with questionable purity. This species was once called "red snout nyererei, so this character trait has to be present, for it to be a "crimson tide".

A. latifasciata is such an amazing species. In the wild we found that they live quite solitary, but they however have no problem with being kept in groups in captivity. The males don't often show their dorsal fin - but when they do, it is striking sky blue.

We have searched several times for this species in the wild, but have never found any. They are said to originate from the Nile, close to Lake Victoria. Today they also most likely are extinct from the EU hobby - but some are still to be found in the US.

I have written an article about how we in 2024 discovered H. sp. "gold", which recently was published in the Scandinavian cichlid magazine, "Ciklidbladet". This is a cool species, that I hope you aquarists will help keep pure and safe for many years to come. 😊

Paralabidochromis sauvagei( formerly H. rockkribensis) is one of the Victoria classics. Note the difference in dominant and nondominant males, how the dominant ones almost loose their horizontal black stripes. Females are the pretty yellow ones.
This species we have found all over the lake from north to south. This variant here is from Zue.
