From your conversations I thought that "Hemigrammus erythrozonus" was such a special fish. I googled for a picture and TBH I don't see what is so remarkable about them ...

This one's not about the looks, Rik. This is a small (4 cm) schooling fish, from Guyana. It is quite fragile and very difficult to breed. They usually live at a temperature of about 24 degrees celcius, but they only breed when the water temperature reaches 28 degrees (and other parameters are met, like pH values, ect.). It is quite uncommon for fish to be exported from Guyana and with the breeding requirements this fish has, it's not very often that this fish is bred, so you just don't see it in the shops a lot...
BTW, this is an Altolamprologus calvus "Black". The picture's from the internet though, so it's not my fish
