Larger cichla has its ups and downs as well. If you can keep a heathy tank, then you can keep these bass at a small size. They are not hard to raise when they are little, far from hard. Clean water, lots of food and time is all you need, just like any other fish. And IME, transferring cichla (orino's in my case) are hard to transfer to someone else's tank. Any other cichla, orino's are just a pain to move at a large size.
