Cichlasoma managuense is South American. They are nasty pieces of work that need their own tank, and a big tank at that. Unless you have a spare 6ft tank sitting around doing nothing, I wouldn't touch it at any price.

Parachromis managuensis are central american fish. They are indeed highly aggressive and should be mixed with care. They arn't particulary rare though and $10 seems ok for a 1" fish. You could keep a female in a tank smaller than 6ft however at 1" you couldn't sex it so would be a risk I wouldn't take.
