I agree totally with the above, most Kelberi are from the Tocantins river basin,central Brazil,thats a long,long,loooong way from Columbia! Maybe caught by wild fisherman ??

Not to rain on his parade, but the same guy told me he could get wild caught kelberi's at 3". I asked at that size how they could tell 100% if it was kelberi and not mono or orino. He said they are easily distinguished if you know what to look for, even at the 2-3" mark. Sound fishy to anyone else?

They are easily distinguishable at a small size if you know what your looking for.

Well then I stand corrected. I don't know very much about cichla species as I've never kept them. I wasn't bashing the shop either. This guy is money with rare CA/SA's and pleco's. I was just under the impression most pbass looked the same as juvi's. I've seen tons of theads of one species turning out to be a cheaper more common species.
