Brightly colored male Ptychochromis grandidieri aka East coast gold Ptycho. Reaching well over 12 inches, the species is capable of tolerating varying degrees of salinity up to full salt water. Likely to be one of a handful species of cichlids from Madagascar that may survive humans

We live in St Paul, Minnesota; TONIGHT reports coming from multiple sources that ICE is staging in our grocery store’s old parking lot, going door to door in adjacent neighborhoods weapons drawn.
At this point the Civil War movie seems more reality, and current events are the fiction. SMH.

Ptychochromis insolitus is a nearly extinct cichlid from Madagascar. Its appearance is reminiscent of prehistoric fish, itself having not evolved an immune system capable of mounting immunity against ichthyophthirius. Adult males develop a beautiful blue body sheen with bright red fins.

Extinction rarely departs with drama, it slips out the back door while we’re still debating the guest list. These records are made official on the Red List. "Conservation failures are often recognised only once they can no longer be reversed."
