Good Afternoon.
This weekend I bought a tank setup that included fish. I made the purchase mainly for the tank and equipment. I have never kept this type of cichlids before and really have no interest in keeping them. Are there any fish in the video that stand out or are special in any way? I have no idea what the group or individuals are worth. Could someone help me with potential prices? I can take more pictures when i get home. I will upload a video shortly

Thats a lot of fish in there. With no lid on the tank...be careful no one jumps out. African cichlids can be pretty spunky.;)

That pic was taken about 10 minutes after i put them in there. My main concern was getting them out of the totes and back into a tank. There is egg crate on the tank now. Your right it is a lot of fish. I counted 32 +/- Plus that huge Tilapia, well i was told it was a tilapia.
 
Look like you have a columbian shark cat maybe two? They need a much larger tank and brackish water.

I know exactly how you feel. Almost every tank I have setup at the moment (7 tanks, 55gal-150gal) were complete setup purchases with fish. I've tried to get rid of a lot of the fish (all BIG fish...9"-18")...but it's difficult. So in most cases...I haven't been able to setup the tanks as I would really like.
