Our local club MAS had a box swap with CCA last week.
Although not exclusively cichlids, that's what I sent (a bag of young Herichthys carpintus chairel, and 2 bags of Geophagus iporangensis)
And I ended up with a bag of Astatheros longimanus "lake Nicaragua, a bag of Archocentrus panamensus and a bag pf Stomatepia pindu.
Nice way to spread fish around, and get fish not available in another area.
Some pics of what I received, but because I tossed them all together in a 50 gal to grow out, not exactly sure who's who at this point.
The pindu below are easy to distinguish.
also got some Cichlasoma dimerus from one of our members
