Yep there are nice. i got a female ready to spit the fry anytime now. first batch only had them 4 weeks and they where straight at it. Unfortunately i'm in the UK.
Not sure about birmingham ian. you could try practicalfishkeeping site search the shops section. and have a ring around. otherwise oasis in manchester is where i got my afras they are a very good shop and clean. common it's only an hour away by car. are you could search around see if you can find your local cichlid association.
Will do thanks for sharing.!!
