How hard to find Cichla Piquiti?

[CichlaRyan]

dude we payed 100 at 1in payed for its food,elec,water and its rarity from 1-5in the price would def be over 200/250 at that size! i mean these guys that are selling for 250 a 7in that is hella cheap, if you are to cheap to buy that then woah... GL. if there is one thing i have learned in this hobby of cichla is that you can't be picky..

Will keep on the lookout for kelberi

man i kinda feel the same as the others...seems like a lot of money to pay, thats why i havent gotten one. but i feel you on the time/money/effort to grow these guys out.

i just dont see myself paying hundreds for a captive bred baby cichla. im gonna play the waiting game with the azuls

I always thought these azuls were wild caught

i have my theories that none of these azuls, kelberis and orinos that have been coming in are wild caught. i think theyre all being captive bred in another country. i just find it hard to believe that all these THOUSANDS of hard to find fish were all hand caught and netted in the wild

I can see where you're comin from...I've always pictured these cichla collectors to work the same way snookn does, by collecting the eggs and not the actual fry. "Sight" fishing nest where they can positively ID an adult and collecting the eggs in the nest to hatch in hatchery. with this technique I can see hundreds of fry surviving.

Man...if all my cichla weren't wild caught, i'd be pretty distraught.
