    I was thinking to promote Cichlids(not man-made ones) to the public. I wanna kick LHs out and bring in African, Central American, South American and Asia's Cichlids to the market. My group did a study and found out that market for CA and A cichlids are small and they cichlids are expensive. For example Frontosa, it's small and they cost $12 at least. The stones and equipment to keep them is really costing too much like you go compare the cost of keeping Discus to Goldfish or Guppies.
    Can you people help me gather infos and tell me whether is the market for South America, North America and Australia big for fishes?
    Your help is very much appreciated.

    usually it's the educational wise. 12bucks for a fron is not expensive at all. Even LH that cost a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars people are willing to fork it out. LH is just a temporary craze soon be over nonetheless cichlids which u included will stay as it is forever.

    demand as in a general for cichlids are small in SG. Serious fishkeepers are willing to fork out the extra expenses to make their tank and of cos for the fishes a better place.

    so it still all boils down to education wise.
    Cheers!

    yeah i agree that the market is small.

    ANd i think it is not just a problem of ppl not knowing abt them.

    COz sometimes ppl know abt them, like them, but cannot afford the space for them as they are pretty demanding in this aspect.
