Keep asking we'll help. Think they're just saying use search function first. If your getting babies, clean water, 87-88f temp, blood worms to start helping pellet training, 3+ bass helps train and keep the cool, careful on tank mates, bare bottom and no decor till older, and you will need a minimum of a 180g for 2 bass of the sp you listed, tems, azul and more need bigger tank. I missed a few things but keep searching and you'll find some great and fun info. Welcome to cichla, they are awesome fish that you get addicted to.

I went through this same thing and found that Orino usually reach close to 20" but have been kept up to 24" and also Kelberi maybe depending the breed reach 15 and sometimes 18 " Once again sizes depend on housing and quality of care I personally have made my choice and Im going to begetting some Kelbri in a week or two great fish and very nice coloration as well.
THIS IS WHAT MADE MY MIND UP FOR ME LOL and of course not every Kelberi will look like this but im hopeful I can do it lol
(NOT MY VID)LOL

From what I have been told by my vedor is that they usually grow 1" per moth I thought Orino too but than reasrached more and Kelberi fit my plans better and imo are better looking.
