I'll update as new info is gathered.
Ozarowana,
Do you know where you can G Geayi? I haven't seen them around for years. Also, G Altifrons Tapajos?
Guianacara geayi
I've been told there are some breeding groups still around and that there hasn't been much demand for fry, so the breeders aren't really producing any. Quality is also an issue apparently. I guess this fish went out of fashion and now they are starting to come back into fashion. :D
G. altifrons "Tapajos"
I think with these fish they are probably in the stage where there are limited numbers of fish being grown up and waiting to be spawned.
Update
Geophagus cf. altifrons "Aripuana II" should now be known as G. sp. "Rio Branco".
Talked to a guy who has a colony of seven Gymnogeophagus labiatus "Centurion".
His words were "they are exactly like the pics in books and on the net". Getting some pics when he gets a chance.
Moved them to currently here list.
Satanoperca leucosticta (spotted face, delayed ovophilous) *
Satanoperca leucosticta (swirly face, delayed ovophilous) *
Satanoperca lilith
all these miss labeled fish are scarcely avalible atm
elspecially
Satanoperca lilith im aware they havnt been capive breed much if at all in the world and we cant import them
What makes you say they are mislabelled?
In regards to lilith they are very likely breeding here in Australia as there is a topic strongly suggesting this on another forum.
