Hello and welcome to MFK...

What size tank is it? What filtration, etc came with it?

 

[cichlid fiend]

If it's aleast a 55 you got a deal. I say the fish worth like $90

It is a 80 gallon and i had a marine land 400 bio wheel to go along with the aqueon 55 filter. a heater and alll the fish i put up

I am not sure of aquaria pricing in the Netherlands, but yeah, it sounds like a pretty good deal to me

Any idea what the sucker fish is exactly? He may not be done growing yet and could likely outgrow the tank. Something you might want to look into.

Congrats on the new tank!

i am not keeping the sucker fish i am gonna give it to my local fish store but do you have any idea how much a 8" to 9" Red headed cichlid goes for

 

[CLDarnell]

No, sorry, I have no clue. I give fish away to friends so I am not into the fish market that much. A quick Google search says $15-$40, but I don't know how much the size will play into it. Again, not sure what the market is in your area either. You should ask your LFS for an idea, then advertise it to local keepers.

Good luck to you!
