I would love to get some, but seems like there is a lot of debate over what species it is. Can anything be confirmed before placing an order
 
i like that first picture.... has alot of promising traits....:naughty:
 
As I have said many times, unfortunately, fish don't come in from the wild with their names stamped on their ass! I, for one, am very hesitant to put a name on the fish unless it is clearly obvious, particularly if it is a fish people are demanding and paying a high price for. I believe in the past, wild ones were selling for more than twice what I priced them at. The name on my invoice is Cichla 'yellow'.

The facts are these. They came from Southern Brasil, and according to the shipper were caught in the Rio Grande (River), northwest of Sao Paulo, near the town of Fronteira. (For those of you with GoogleEarth, that is lat 20 degrees 18' S, and 49 degrees 08' W.)

I tend to go with the concensus, and look for advice from those more knowledgeable than myself, like Brian Scott, and many others who post here.

What do you guys think it is? Are their alternatives to 'kelberi'?

Do you SHRED the silversides in smaller strips?

I just pick the smaller silversides... or the ones that are broken in pieces already. I have to throw them hard next to water current so that they will hit at the surface. If I slowly drop and let them sink, goldeis will ignore... haha.. some tricky fish you sent to me. :ROFL::ROFL:
 
George, great post, thanks for all the information, put me down for 5
