With people selling, trading or taking a break/quitting the hobby.....i am curious to know what is the longest amount of time you have kept the same cichla(s)?
 
I have only had my cichla for a year bought as fry don't intend to sell anytime soon:headbang2

you better not lol..your pbass are 100% showcase status..
 
Almost a 1.5 years.....my orino's. I had an occel for a good year to then it outgrew my tank and I sold it. Ive got an upgrade now :)
 
I kept my first Cichlid a Geophagus Red Hump earth eater for 5 years - purchased him at the end of 2005 and he died in september 2010.

He really got me further into the hobby - and in 2008 I bought my second Cichlid a male Jack Dempsey that I currently have owned for almost 3 years (Jan 2011). My youngest Cichlid is a baby Midas haven't owned it for longer than a week yet.
 
The one I've owned the longest is my Rapps 3rd batch Kelberi that I've had for 1.5 years.
