Yes, but how easy is it to get ahold of N. melanospilus?

I know that there are various populations reported to be being kept by
hobbyists (from all accounts it's one of the more common species in
Tanzania) but I rarely see any advertised in the BNL or anywhere else
for that matter.

Personally, I'd like to give the species a bash but it's not currently
available locally :(

N. guentheri and N. foershi are readily available *and* I've never had a
problem with them eating bbs from the start.
