Acquiring specimens
Chalinochromis sp. ndobhoi are on the cdas conservation list because
(I presume?) they’re uncommon worldwide and especially in Austalia.
Old timers say they’ve been around but I hadn’t seen or heard of them here in
the time I’ve been keeping cichlids so my interest was piqued when I heard
aquapets had some wildcaught specimens.
The enthusiasm waned a tad when I heard the price at a little more than $100
each but ended up deciding someone had to “take one for the team” so with
fish boxes in the boot we set off to partake in the quarantine room opening
festivities during which I loaded up with what I hoped was two pairs of
ndobhoi.
