I honestly don't think I'll ever sell either of those cichla but you could possibly tempt me to trade the kel for a nice green orino if it's big enough. I'm actually tempted to grow out some more seeing how nice they turned out.


They are well worth growing out even if they are juveniles let me know if you find any id also grow some up

That tank is looking awesome. Great update. Your cichla are looking stunning too. What's the stock in that tank now?
Because of the 6ft cracking its abit manic at the moment i have a 2ft silver arowana in there which should be gone sunday, 2 stingrays which il probably have to part with and the larger of the 3 small ocellaris which will have to go with the other two to a friends house until hes bigger, that will then leave me with 5 mono and 3 orino. On the looking for an asian aro though i think to complete it, maybe some larger rays than can handle the bass in the future, ohh yeah and i have a 10" indo, im growing 2 silvers and a NGT ready to move in.

I wouldn't go for more rays or an asian arowana. You would be better off waiting till your in a position to get a huge tank or another large tank.
With the stock you have now you won't have room. Rays produce a lot of ammonia. Much more than other fish. The nitrates in your tank will shoot up and kill your rays. That's how I lost my rays.
You'll end up like me doing three 50% water changes a week.
