Aside from Convicts, all the cichlids I own have a "decent to excellent" market value, so i'm planning on just trading them in to LFS over and over and over for store credit to make the 265g i'm purchasing next year as cheap as possible.
I just had to go take back a pair of Convicts from 2 houses down at my friends' house because his Dad said they were terrorizing everything but they have like ZERO colors to them besides black and white, so i'll be using them and maybe a 2nd pair of Jewels for breeding feederfish, depending on if the market for Jewels stays good like it is atm.
The LFSs love me when I bring in stuff that's hard to find. Everything else that's readily available is basically "a dime a dozen".....some stores give me $$$ for Convicts and some don't cuz people just GIVE them away all the time, so I will be working on the Cichlasomas, Andinoacaras, Parachromis, Herichthys, Herotilapia, etc for now
they were on sale for $15.98 each so asked the manager could I get them for a cheaper price since they were quite smaller. No dice lol.
