Well I know that James (x-tank) had 1 or a few of them but he is the only other person I seen on the fourm with one.. They were brought in from SharkAquarium last April I want to say? I believe they only impoted about 25 or so. They were just called "cichla sp. yellow" they were only like 2" when they brought them in and in only about 8 months he is almost 12" so he is going to be a big Kelberi. I know some of rapps 2nd and some 1st batchers that are about 12" or a little bigger now. and the 1st batch were around since like september of 2008. Going to be interesting to see him grow

Shark Aquarium?I purchased a kelberi from there in the beginning of the summer which was about two or three inches so it could be one of those.It is only eight or nine inches due to it being a stubborn converter but it looks very much like the big guy shown at the top.I also have a smaller one that I purchased from Michael but I dont know it's origin.

I don't know it could be. I know that they were not labled as kelberi though. Michaels was rapps 3rd batchers I believe.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I just saw the comment about Rapps 3rd batch, so I was adding the note of that location source.

I can delete the photo if that helps.

edit: scratch that, I can't edit the old post.

Just curious about where all the Sao Paulo Kelberi are at .. I picked one up about 3 weeks ago. Thing is a beast, hes a solid 11" and eats just about anything I throw in ( massivors, krill, conovor floating pellets ect) he is really starting to develope a yellow body on him. Pictures obviouly show no justice but here they are just to get a idea

Also if you guys out there that got some sao paulo could post a pic, that would be great

Coloring back up nicely, give him time. He's looking great!
