ok here what it says (ex 'Cichlasoma' cf. ornatus) directly off jeff rapps page at tangled up in cichlids. i trust what he says, he knows his stuff and has been dealing with fish for years. so you go and tell him he is wrong.

the place he got it from also orders from rapps.....and also never said any one is wrong ,just saying they are the real deal he payed 30$ cuz they are about 1 1/2 inchs.....and i was there to witness him buy them.....

gotcha. yea 30 is right for that size, rapps was selling them for that much at that size. they arent going to show there color till atleast 4inchs. mine are right about 5inchs or so and they are finally showing brilliant colors. def 100% percent yet, but still amazing. i have a female and a male.
