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.
