The Denver Zoo released some of their finebar scrapers to a member of a local club. That hobbyest bred them and sent some of the fry to a member of the Ohio Cichlid Association (OCA). The OCA victorian enthusiast in turn bred another generation of finebar scrapers. I bought 14 of these finebar scarpers from that OCA breeder in July of 2004. Within weeks, the tiny little one inch female above was holding.
