While I mostly keep new world cichlids, I have a few old world.
I picked up some wild mbuna from Atlantis a few months ago and will have some F1 ~1"-ers for the Nov meeting.
The two species I have are:
Metriaclima cyneusmarginatus (Chia Lagoon): http://www.cichlidae.com/gallery/species.php?s=77
These guys only seem to get to about 3-4" and are relatively mild for mbuna. They look a lot like my favorite mbuna, Chilumba zebras, but without growing to 8" and killing everything.
The other is Metriaclima sp. "compact" (Mbamba Bay):

My breeders of sp. "compact" are a blue and black male and chocolate chip females. They're also relatively mild mannered. I brought some of the "compact" to the Aquafest auction but someone bought them before I could register them!
Finally, I have a couple of Metriaclima livingstonii, a Malawi shell dweller: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=900
These are offspring of my breeding group and the male who took 1st at Aquafest.
I'm planning on putting a bag of each in the auction...
