Hi all
Does anyone know where I might find a female Pelvicachromis humilis? Prefferably the “Liberia red” strain? I bought a pair from Trimar some time ago, but lost my female due to illness. I’ve since been unable to find one with Trimar only having males left.
Does anyone know where I can find one? And if you do see one I’d be very grateful if you could let me know.
Thanks in advance.

I have 8 wild adults but can’t let you have just a female. Am quite happy to let you have a pair. They came to me error and although they are verrry nice I don’t want them

They’re nothing like your average “krib”. My male is fully grown now and won’t even tolerate corries in his tank! In fact anything living near the bottom is fair game in his eyes. Apart from my L114, who can certainly handle himself.

And do you have any pics? If so, can you post them? Are they tank bred or F0? Do you have 4 pairs? Where were they shipped from? PM me with all the details if you like?
