Gregga, if this male is colorful, the bucks may be worth it.
In most cases the females far outclass the males when it comes to color. I have, however, seen two males that were every bit as coloful as the females. These were early on in my 'cichlid career' (circa 1980's) and at the time I didn't realize how special these males were. I kick myself everytime I think about them and not having bought them.
