They are slooooow growers and that one has a long way to go before any serious flaking occurs. Mines were 4-6" + and barely had any.

Plenty of time to perfect my acrylic bending technique. The guy I got him from owns a Lfs here and used to breed these. This is from his line, he had a group of wild caught long time ago
I believe all you can get is captive bred now because they are part of the CARES conservation project.

Yea he got all his wild caughts back in the 80s, been breeding all kinds of africans for 30 years. Some kind of biology prof here in Idaho. Has some really cool hard to find stuff.
A good portion of the various rift lake cichlids are pretty widespread through out the hobby any more. I can only think of a handful of fish that Id classify as "hard to find" .
People like Steve Lunbad ( of The Wet Spot) and Lawerance Kent have done a great job getting almost all of these fish into the hobby.
I'd be interested to see your guys list of fish that are more uncommon.
