I have a 46 gallon bowfront that should be done cycling very soon.

I will be buying 6 yellows and 2 catfish when the tank is ready. More cichlids shortly after that.

The fish store that I goto is huge. They always have young and older for just about any fish. For yellows they have 3 tanks. In one tank there are young yellows for $6, a third with medium yellows for $12 and a larger mixed tank with full grown ones.

Id like to buy young fish and watch them grow. Are there any pros and cons of buying older/younger fish or is it all just preference?

If I choose to buy young fish then all of my fish should be young correct?

Any info about this is helpful, thanks.
