Hi! I've been looking everywhere for these little cichlids, but no one keeps them? Anyone have any pairs or trios they'd like to give away? I want to have the D. filamentosus, but the D. maculatus is fine too. Thanks!

Can you lead us to pictures?

This is the filamentosus. http://images.aquaria.net/fish/cichlids/Dicrossus/filamentosus/00-0-Copr_2007_Dimitri_Rogers.jpg
Maculatus looks very similar.

It is great little fish. I had a pair once.

Thanks for the link, but I already looked up on Aquabid. I want to get hobbyist bred fish.

I have 2 D. Filamentosis but I got them when they were very young and they turned out to both be male.
I have been looking for females since then but the only ones I have found were also too young to sex. If you really want these type of cichlids then I would recommend not being so picky about the sorce as long as they are quality stock.
