Who bought them from Mike? Last time I was up there he had some available.

[myjohnson]

Mike still got some. I was just wondering if anyone else got some.

But most importantly, I'm just seeking info on these fish.

Here is a little bit of info I found. http://www.tanganyika.ru/articles/ar...9&cat=1&igen=1

Below is the translation.

In November 1998 new discoveries occurred in Namansi region. Was there found the small reef, which was named “Namansi Of reff” (i.e., the reef Of [nanmansi]). Among different races and gripping variety Of tropheus (OV), discovered near the reef, Tropheus of moorii was first, which drew the attention of researchers.
This variety Of tropheus of moorii was noted for the first time in November 1998. Were by that time discovered and caught only 30 copies. It is later, when the water level in the lake Tanganyika was lowered, the population Of tropheus of moorii in the reef Of [namansi] and in its [okruzhvayushchem] rocky biotope, it became even smaller.
Today, when the water level in the lake increased ([bolee] than to two meters), occurred some changes in the environment. Some zones of inhabiting became more, others considerably decreased.
The reef Of [namansi] - one of those zones of inhabiting, which became more and “is more capacious”, the population of [tsikhlid] near the reef noticeably increased.
Name “Red Of namansi” (red Of [namansi]”) was given this variety of [trofeusov] for the red spinal fin and the red yellowish body. Tropheus of moorii Of red Of namansi (red Of [namansi]”) is one of the newest discoveries in the kind Of tropheus.
Namansi “reef” - however still sufficiently small rocky living environment. In the large numbers Of tropheus of moorii “Red Of namansi” they will be hardly caught, at least not today and not tomorrow.
