Hey guys I just have a few questions I some of you don't mind chimin in for a little advice. I'm going to be purchasing some cichla from rapps and was wondering if you guys would be able to tell me the difference in a rip doce kelberi and a rio piracicaba kelberi. Maybe point me in a direction so I can make a pick of which I will purchase? I appreciate it guys and it's good to be getting back into the cichla game after a couple year break

Good to see an old name back in the realm of cichla.The way I understand it is one of those types has neve been brought in before so I'm not sure how it will differ from the other.Maybe someone can chime in with some photos of adults to compare.

Hey krich long time no talk. I believe your right about the one not being collected before and I may go with that so just because it's never been collected but what I'm mostly looking for is spangles so the so that tends to have the most spangles is probably what I'd get because I don't really need a 250$ mono look alike ;) otherwise I'll end up picking up another Azul instead of the kelbs

But if someone could post some pictures or experiences I would greatly appreciate it!

I too am wondering the same......i hope there are a few left when i have the cash. Maybe Mr. Rapps can chime in. I think he has imported from one of the locales previously and the other is a first time locale import.--gangster
