i have an 11" + peru black rhomb i am trying to sell for 200,and some guy offered a trade .. he wants to trade me a 8" female Vieja zonata .. i never heard of it. is it an good trade ,and are they easy to buy ? please let me know
 
i think your Rhom is worth more than the Zonata, but others will have better info
 
If you compare a rhom to a zonata, the rhom might have a slightly greater market value, but if you like the zonata, make the trade. It's really your call.
 
just looking for a some what even trade.. i know a black rhomb the size i have .. which is actually closer to 13" is around 650-750 at aqua scape online

How many people would actually pay $750 for a fish? Market value and reality are 2 different things. If you think your rhom is truly worth $750 and, you have access to people who will pay that, then by all means, keep your rhom.
 
Sell the Rhom then buy a new tank and some zonatus to get a pair.

I wouldnt go for it

my issue really is i want the tank for some other cichlids i have.. my 125 is going to get cramped quick. 3 jags ,2 cubans 2 texas ,and 4 festae.. oh and 1 green terror most are 3" or under,but 1 cuban and 1 jag that are almost 5" i have 4 2" festae to hopefully get a pair of breeders :) if i get a pair up i have a couple friends that want the other 2.. you have to forgive me i am new to cichlids and made the biggest mistake when i just bought fish .. i usually read up before i jump in,but i wanted some new fish bad after i got rid of my breeder redbellies..
