    All 6 fish received quickly, alive and in good condition. Nice blue color. Some do have mooning, but they are a mpimbwe variant and with any luck that will fade as they grow. Stated size was accurate. Cheers (Posted on 2/01/12)

  3. Nimbochromis Venustus 6-7cm
    Very nice fish.
    Fish arrived fit and healthy and settled in nicely. Appear to be an easy going, non-agressive fish. They have no interest in the other fish.
