Yeah you can find them, but only in frys. So if you really really want one then buy a batch of no less than 4. Also fork out the money...I found a guy on craigslist selling rare cichlids for okay prices IMO. One Festae for $25 and 2 for $40 all around 1-2" only. Im planning on making a 3 hour trip but of course that distance I really have to plan btw work, school, and kids.

is amphilophus the correct genus? i thought they were cichliasoma?

They were Amphilophus until a year or two ago. They are now back into the general "cichliasoma class".

Check the marketplace here. I have seen a few larger ones for sale recently. Also check the vendor's forum. Where ever you find them, buy them as soon as you get the opportunity.

Where are you from in PA? I have a place near me called Pets Plus and they have two 3-3.5" Festea... I think they are both males. They are going for $40. Pets Plus is in Lockport, NY. I seen them there about two weeks ago or so. If your close enough take the drive up... call first though.
