There's a ton of Malawi cichlids that are either rarely imported or just not in our club. We may have, what?... ~75 species in our club being bred (including mbuna, haps, peacocks).
There are an estimated 900-1100 cichlid species/variations in Lake Malawi. So I'd say our club certainly does not have most of them. I would venture to say that out of that total figure, there are probably 200-250 species/variations that are in the hobby.
Zack - see if you can get a copy of Malawi Cichlids in the Natural Habitat by Ad Konings. It is not a cheap book ($40-50), but well worth the money. It changed the way I looked at and collected fish from the lake when I was big into Malawi.

Richard Mendez (Submariner) used to breed them. He probably still has them. He's not on often, but shoot him a PM and maybe he'll get back with you.

He has exceeded his maximum storage space so I can't pm him if anyone has any contact with him please let him know. I am looking for atleast one 4-5 inch male smaller would do and maybe a few females (in a perfect world).
Thanks
