Can anyone post a list of Pbass in order from common/cheep-Rare/$$$.

I'm trying to find some and I can't find crap. I know Azuls are pretty high on the list if not highest. but I want a rundown of the rest of them. If I can find some juvi azuls I'll pic them up but Ican't find anything I like. so If I could get a list of Pbass from common to rare I would know what's out there that I haven't allready seen. about the only thing that I might have to get is 4" temensis from rapps. other then that I can't find anything. PLZ help. I want in the Pbass game BAD and I'm dying trying to get in.
 
do a google search for the fish you are looking for, river wonders had orinocensis. If the link looks like a online fish store, then your golden. For instance I type in cichla orinocensis in stock, I may not see a link with them for sale until the 9th or 15th page, but its there trust me. There was another in California with orinos for $35 apiece but an extra $59 to ship, but I cannot remember the name of it.
 
Not really the info I was looking for but thanks. I have an idea of what I want but I want rarer the more rare the better. So I need to know what Other do. What's rare what's common. I would rather spend more and get something not alot are going to have then spend a little and see everyone and there brother own one. that's why I ned you Pbass experts to help me out.
 
Commons are monos, occel these will be your cheapest $8.00 - $15.00 is your avarage price.

semi common 's are temensis and orino they are mid range but worth the upgrade $15 - $50 for smaller ones, and $50 up for bigger sized ones

pinima, kelberi, azul, xingu, all rare and very hard to come by if you find small ones they will range $50-$150 bucks pending on whos selling them, bigger sizes cost more and seem to be a little easyier to find from other hobbiest if you have the money.

THANK YOU SNOOKIN. that's the info I was looking for. lol

Now to find some of the rare ones. lol
 
yeah what john said but fogos are the highest for sure
 
The rare ones would be the cichla species from area's yet to be collected from the wild and put into aquaria.

The commons- Mono, occels, Tems, pinima.

no so common- Azul, intermedia, kelberi. etc

Fogo's have only been collected by one person i know of so therefor being that said, the market for them is undefined and no price can be put on them for domestic trade in the U.S or elsewhere. As goes for any other non collected species.
 
I'm going to remind people fish are only worth what people are willing to spend. So as far as rare cichla, that's up to the people exporting and importing the fish aswell as the seller of the fish domestically.

very valid point.

I'm going to order from rapps soon so what would be a better bet. Some Pinimas or temensis? For the rare aspect? And I'm still looking for others.
