Sounds like you are really liking the thought of having a african chiclid tank, and if so I say go for it! I love mine!!! I have decided on sticking with chiclids that come from the malawi lake only. They are alot of fun to watch and take care of.
I say you go with what ever you really like. My lfs allows me to trade all the time, so if I decide something don't fit he either gives me store credit or does a trade, so the most I am out is a couple bucks.
