WTB Cichla Intermedius!!!

[Gourami Swami]

Hello, I am looking for a Cichla Intermedius. My zip is 07607, which is right near new york city. I will pay for fish and shipping, etc. I do not know the average price of these guys so if anyone wants to respond that here go ahead!

Thanks!

I PM'ed him. I would not be willing to pay 400$ however...

Are these the same as Chuco Intermedius?? A LFS near Seattle has them for $30. Can't be the same can it?

No .. they eat Chuco intermedius as snacks

Didn't think so...not at that price difference.

They are Cichla. Said to be the smallest of the cichla species reaching 24" in adulthood. So they may not actually snack on a large Chuco ...

other words they are a part of the Peacock bass family

Oh and barely coming into the aquarium hobby in the states. So price is HIGH...
