I would leave the Ruti's in the community tank. They are way too close to X-mas fulu. Icer has some great fulu, it would be a shame to see them hybridize. My colony has been all but wiped out unfortunately. My only adult male is the original male and I am not sure if he has it in him to breed anymore. I did send a bunch of small fry to fern in florida though in hopes she can continue the strain I was working with, and I will be sending Icer a few females to work with as well, but it may be a little while yet. I highly suspect these are descendants of Dave Hansens stock, which makes them very special.
I really want to see these get a foothold in the northwest. Sorta the champaign bottle setting the Victorian ship assail. There are more great Victorians to come, and I think these are going to really turn out to be the next great thing in the cichlid world. They take a bit more planning than many cichlids, but as a species only breeding group Victorians are very hardy and like bunnies.
