+1 learned my lesson from one of my Taiwan import claiming for wc but recently ruled that they are not.
You're never to be100% sure of which fish is wc unless you're the one who to collect it. Even certain bass in the wild in brazil aren't really wc as they farm peacock bass down there now and keep introducing new species from one river system to the other.
The true meaning of wc kelberi doesn't exist anymore.
The ceara are from brazil from the ceara region.
That's all the supplier information will give me. They won't say the exact location or anything specific.
To be able to tell the difference between cb or wc is difficult. Unless its improper inbreed. Most of the times it happens accidentally. Those are the ones that comes out super ugly as they are brothers and sisters.
If the cichla are properly bred I'm sure they'll be stunners and may be even better looking than wild.
As of right now the only 2 kelberi I know for sure that have been bred in captivity are Bahia and rio araguaia kelberi.
If you do not want to get cb that's listed as wc I suggest don't ever get them again.
Sometimes we the vendor can not control the lies our suppliers give us.
And in the end we get blamed for. We pay the big money as well and take the risks as well. We lose a lot in it and mainly not about the money. I spent a lot of a Datnoid that's claimed to be something it's not and now it's sitting in my tank and I don't want to sell them cause I do not want to sell something they're not if I know they're not. That's the way this hobby is.
I hate to get fish for something they're not and I have to pay a lot more for them.
