Tahuantinsuyoa Macantzatza info?

[Borderlesscott]

Hi, I've recently been given an offer of a pair or single male Tahuantinsuyoa Macantzatza, the Inca Stone Fish.
I can't really find that much info on them, mainly adult size and temperament, if anyone knows about these any info would be great, all info I've found has not really been conclusive on size or temperament, I've also read they are suspected mouthbrooders - is this true?
Thanks!

Adult size is 4.5-5" , also here's an article about them:

I've already read that article, however I've found 2 more that all contradict each other in small ways, thanks anyway though. Going to see the parent fish soon, so ill get a good idea of what to expect.

I'd love to see some pictures if you don't mind, I'd be curious to see how they compared to a club members fish?

Seen the parents today and bought 10 in for the shop, I ended up taking a Acarichthys heckelii instead for free which was sweet. Might still end up with one, look a bit like an Aequidens diadema with a longer face - Ill see how they settle and develop before taking one home.

Pretty boring looking in my opinion.

Yep, definetley not something to get excited about. Going to wait to see if they colour up, Jeff Rapps listed them as one of his favourite rare Cichlids - cant see why at moment.

Wow with all the fish Jeff has access to I'm shocked this would make the list. I'd be curios to see if they get the common goldish bronze color, could you update this in the near future?
