A few weeks ago we introduced you to the cichlid Nandopsis haitiensis, which is very rarely on sale. Unfortunately, we were only able to illustrate this post with pictures of the somewhat inconspicuously colored juveniles (https://www.aquariumglaser.de/en/fisharchive/nandopsis-haitiensis-2/).
However, we have set a few animals aside and they have now developed so well that they are already preparing to spawn. In the course of this, the most active female has already taken on the black coloration typical of sexually active females. The males also show the typical dress of the species, namely a black pattern on a silver-grey background.
For our customers: the animals have code 649202 on our stocklist. Please note that we only supply the wholesale trade.
