Get some, they're relatively easy to come by now, in my experience grow slower than Mono's or any others, if you're still new to keeping Cichla, better go with a cheaper one, juuuuuust in case it kicks it. Then you're not in the hole a lot of money, ya'know? Kels are cool and all, but you never really see anyone with a big Temensis or a big Orino.
 
Unattended i know bassinmike has a xingu for sale :)

These are the cichla I have and what i paid....

Orino's-$15ea at 1.5"
Azuls-$200shipped for 10in(i got it from a mfk member for a steal! Thanks again cuban jey and snookn21)

My 2nd azul i paid $250 @ 12".
10" kelberi i paid $220
1" xingu-$300
2" lake diamante mono-$15ea

They are worth every penny!
I have a few more kelberi on my list and another xingu or 2....and thats it for now. Unless something crazy come up :)
 
Since december of last year, I probably spent a thousand dollars worth of cichlas, 18pcs to be precise, then throw in a few panaques, and some new pick ups next month... but my wife knows i spent less than two hundred bucks for everything. And she still says its expensive! Some people never get it! :headbang2

You rock bro! I do this to my woman lol.... She thinks I spent 100 bucks on my kels but in reality I spent like about 4 1/2 bills for three that were about 3-4" when I got them and that I spent 30 bucks on my brokos lol
 
in my backyard, it depends the availability in the market therefore it's hard to find pbass except monos. two days ago a seller offered me 3" azul for $150 and 3" xingu $ 200 :grinno:

here's my cichlas :

4 orinoco 8" - $ 130 each
2 kelberi 8" - $ 170 each
1 kelberi 10" - $ 210
2 peruvian 6" - $ 30 each
5 guiana 4" - $ 15 each
