Ok so I just opened a cichlid specialty store in NC and my love for cichlids started with South and Central American cichlids. And although we've been open for a week I haven't stocked those fish yet. It's killing me lol. I've got 12 15g tanks I'm about to stock for sale. I want to bring in the ones u don't see at your box stores while I've already done this with Africans I'm ready to stock the monsters as well as some dwarfs. Basically I'm asking would u be impressed with this list this is what I have so far

Bartons cichlid
Red tiger cichlid (motaguense)
Wolf cichlid (dovii)
Red terror (festae)
Bolivian ran
Electric blue ram
Cuban cichlid (tetracanthus)
Geo yerbolito
Geo Guyanan surinamensis (wild)
Apisto double red
Apisto boreyli blue
Steatocranus glaber I know it's not a SA but had to stock some
Do you guys have any ideas or maybe something you'd rather see instead of those?
 
Very nice! Some things I see...
- With dovii I don't think you'll have a high turn over rate. Or you may with people bringing them back. Just a very specialized fish.
- I can't speak for the rest of the world but where I am it's actually hard to come by GT and jags which I think are generally pretty popular. Salvini aren't on the list but that's another less common one. Also think severums are generally pretty easy selling.
 
Jags, carpintis, syn's, blackbelts, pearsei, severums, gt's would probably be good sellers.
