That's an incredible price. Maybe it depends on where you're located and the availability but I've seen polleni in the six to eight inch range go for $70 to $80.
 
http://s101.photobucket.com/albums/m67/rickscics/?action=view&current=P5280008.flv I have been breeding Paratilapia Pololini small spot east coast madagascar for a number of years. My fish parents were out of the original group that was at the New Jersey Aquarium. Some were released to individual fishkeepers. I find them to be a wonderfull fish to keep in a community tank and contrary to many peoples comments I find them to be the most cordial of fish.
I have not found them to be aggressive except Perhaps to their own species.
I have included a short video of a small pair with eggs. I have a lot of these available here in SO CAL. two inches and up. If anyone is interested I can ship.
These fish are registered with the American Cichlid Associantion C.A.R.E.S project as and endangered species. I have a few other videos of adults I can post. Thanks RIck

Great info and experiences all! Here's a more recent pic of mine...it's a small spot, yes?

Can someone please help me sex?

Right now I have him (her?) in with some community fish and no problems yet -- I think he (she?) is too busy looking for snacks to cause trouble...by far the most aggressive eater I have!

Thanks!
 
I have a Poleni male . Ihave had him for exactly 1 year. Got him @ 2" , now he is 10".
He has a great personality but he can be quite aggressive with his tank mates.
