Title: 2 of my fav cichlids are almost extinct

Nandopsis motoguense (moto's) and Amphilophus trimaculatus (Trimac's) Not only are these very hard to find in aus, they are now under a real major threat in the wild. I was reading up on them and found out that they have just about been lst from the wild, the moto's they are almost 100% sure about it as well.
Here are some pics, isnt just sad :(

Maybe you can get ahold of some and breed them so that they aren't totally lost. It sucks that they are almost extinct.

I see the occasional trimac going around..,

However you can never be sure if its really a trimac...there are a lot of people out there trying to sell flower horn off as trimac...
