Tomocichla asfraci 'Rio Guabo' F1
I am humbled and proud to share with my readers an extremely rare offer of adolescent F1 Tomocichla asfraci - collected and bred by a private EU aquarist. T. asfraci is one of, if not the most coveted Central American cichlid species since its debut in the ornamental fish trade just a few decades ago. Only a handful of sporadic, non-commercial breeding occurrences of this species have taken place since its inception into the hobby. The remarkable T. asfraci is restricted to an extremely limited, remote habitat in NE Panama. Their range is confined to a single watershed, consisting of several steeply inclined, short-lengthed streams that drain swiftly down a mountainside into a marine lagoon. This unique Panamanian riverine species displays an attractive orange/red colored body, gold jewel spots with a black collar. They can grow to 8-9" (females) and 12-14" (males). This is an active, strong swimming species that thrives in cooler, well oxygenated environments. They are exclusively available from TUIC in a very limited quantity at an impressive, robust size.
Please understand that I cannot offer holding of stock, discounts, credits, wholesale pricing, or trades for this species. These are being offered unsexed. To all of you rare Central American cichlid collectors - this may very well be the sole opportunity of your hobby-time!
