ask you LFS manager if he can get some in keep in mind that BigC / Collin knows more about this than me so ask him about which one to get. also ask him about breeding info on the one you chose

I would go for Fundulopanchax gardneri nigerianus sp.
There are lots of different locations and some are more colourful than others but they will present you with the least difficulty regarding their husbandry.
Aphyosemion australe, whilst being good beginner fish will present you with some problems if you wish to spawn them sucessfully. (water conditions)
Aplochelius species are easier but not as colourful and getting rid of excess stock may prove difficult.

i also like the looks of the aphyosemion gardneri it looks very blue (my favorite colour) and the red spots on it contrast well making it a very beautiful fish to keep

I'd go with the Gardneri, the Panchax will get quite large and any smaller fish in your tank will suffer for it, plus you need quite a big tank for the Panchax as the males can get to be around 4" if they thrive also they spend a lot of the time at the top of the water table, whereas the Garnderi are mid to bottom swimmers so more tank area covered.

I love both but Gardneri are my favourites.
