Most people probably haven't kept them as they are hybrids and not common at all in my area. If you do a search on this site or a google search for "jelly bean cichlids" some answers to your questions will be there. And relax for a while, a lot of people are working or driving home and can not answer questions within a half hour during the late afternoon.
