yeah i mean i do wish they were cheaper but they are harder to raise than most other cichlids so its very understandable why they have a higher price tag the more money somebody has to put into raising a fish the more money they are going to ask for in return, and with them being more expensive it wards off a lot of potential newbies from just buying them because they look cool and not researching or anything before getting them

watch the small sized ones...too small and they do not take to moving well.

i understand that as well if i buy a fish that is not a cichlid then i try to look for something at least 2.5 i would hate to get doa or even worse if they died because of new tank stress
