| Astatheros Macracanthus is another one of those cichlids that has taken on a mystical persona due to its absence in the hobby. Many people are searching for this species, but only because it is rare. I have 3 Macracanthus that were given to me by a good friend. These fish are still young but are for sure the real deal. | |||||||||||||
