Enigmatochromis lucanusi

Formerly known as ‘Pelvicachromis’ sp. ‘blue fin’, this fish, which hails from Guinea, West Africa, was formally described in 2009 by our friend, Dr. Anton Lamboj as Enigmatochromis lucanusi, named after Oliver Lucanus, who brought the fish for the first time into the US in 2004.

We have this stunning pair housed temporarily in a 20 high with a small group of Xiphophorus alvarezi. They have not yet spawned to my knowledge, but we are looking forward to it!

Mystery Snails

I don’t know why, but this group of five white mystery snails reminds me of the Mystics from The Dark Crystal. Did I just date myself?
