    Yeah Costa Rica and Central American cichlids are SO underrated in the hobby , probably because there isn't alot of farms like this one working to get all these beautiful fish in the hobby...I hadn't even heard of half these fish but wow I want them all!!!

    • @WildFishTanks

      The Fishy Life ! Central American cichlids are the Crown Jewels of the hobby, the reason you don’t see them very often is because their size. I have a vieja Melanura male just under 16 inches.

    • @thefishylife6823
      @thefishylife6823 Před 4 lety

      @@jcgarcia.4474 I'm sorry bro I strongly disagree with "crown Jewels of the hobby.. everyone knows that the hobby is dominated by S.A. cichlids whether discus, Oscar or geophagus (the real crown Jewels) but certainly central American cichlids are underrated and particularly Costa Rican cichlids like the world famous dovii but I think most LFS and fish stores you would be lucky to see a handful of central American cichlids if that...?

      I believe he has immigrated here as of about 4 years ago and is staying with his wife here. I don’t believe he came to teach or study but he did work for a fish farm for a while after moving but now just runs his hatchery on their own property.
