Hi Pam
I'm interested in obtaining some captive bred Paretroplus maromandia but haven't been able to find any. Do you know if they are currently being bred for the hobby or do we have to wait a few more years?

Hi Jeff,
Boy, I just don't know enough about this fish to tell you how successful hobbyists are at working with them. I do know that there is Madagascar Cichlid group on Yahoo. Also you will want to read anything and everything by Sonia Guianne, she is really up on these cichlids, many of which are loosing their habitat and becoming endangered. Here is a link to her Author Page on Cichlid Room Companion, you can scroll down and see all the articles she has written about them.
