Right...I surly feel their losing it's "rarer" title and soon to be no harder then getting a Mono..WTF!! I thought and was told by a supplier they were trying to limit the amount of Xingu sells in the US to try and keep it a "rarer" and harder cichla to get, thus keeping the price tag on them higher... The more they have out there and sell the more the price drops and the more common it becomes... SUX!!

I don't see them becoming easier to come by in the near future,definitely not to the point that monos are anyway....Look at the azul which lately comes up for sale by a few vendors once or twice a year and are still pretty hard to come by and rare in the hobby.
I agree with krichardson many pbass are still rare. I buy for enjoyment and not investment. I never flip any of my fish. Learning to keep them is the best part. Losing rare fish is the worst. Judging a fish for it's value is wrong.
