I've got a lot of Anomalochromis thomasi, the African butterfly cichlid, that I can bring to the Great Fish Tailgate. $1 each. I will only be at the Tailgate from 1-2 p.m. Please order in advance, because I will not bring any extra fish.
Anomalochromis thomasi is a peaceful West African riverine cichlid that gets about 3 inches long. It is adaptable to a wide variety of water conditions. It loves outdoor tubs and ponds, but can be kept in relatively small aquariums, say 20 gallons and bigger. As Seriously Fish says, "actually one of the best choices for the newcomer to dwarf cichlids. It is relatively undemanding, peaceful, easily bred and quite beautiful once settled into the aquarium."

EDIT: I emptied a tank this morning and realized that I've got a few more fish to sell. I've got a group of six Badis ruber, the Burmese badis, to sell, for $30. I'll try to include at least one female. B. ruber is a very pretty fish, and not that easy to find locally. Can fit in a 10 gallon aquarium, although you'd want more space if they are breeding.

I've also got a group of six Glowlight danios, Celestichthys choprae, for sale for $30. This is a pretty danio, on the smaller side, but fairly active, so you'd want at least a 20 gallon long aquarium for them. More info here: https://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/celestichthys-choprae/
SECOND EDIT: I had a tank start leaking today, so I had to move some fish and discovered that I have more Corydoras teniente (the Lieutenant cory) than I thought. Accordingly, I can bring a group of six young adults (about a year old). $40 for the group.

They are yours!
Regarding the Celestichthyschoprae any idea if you have a mix of males and females?
Sounds good let me know in the future😀
I was confused with another post on the apistogramma, and I won’t have space for the Anomalochromis. Would like the Badis as long as they take prepared food ( we travel twice a year to Germany and I have a friend drop by and feed )
thanks!

Hi Matt,
so on the badis will they eat food that is not live?
thanks,
christina
I can try to get you a pair or maybe a trio (I think I've got three left), but I don't find them as easy to sex as the Internet would suggest, probably because they get washed out when I chase them with a net, so can't promise gender diversity.
Did you mean Anomalochromis, rather than Apistogramma? I don't know if any are paired, and they are very difficult to sex. I can bring you whatever number you want and you can see if they pair up.
I would love to buy a male and female of the badis if any are left. also if you have any paired apistogramma.
thanks,
Christina
Great. They are yours. I will bring them Sunday.
I'm interested in the group of Badis ruber
Updated the entry to add two more species.
