Nice ones!!

 

[darkmatter_3500]

Thanks!

 

[em_witt]

What r ur big ones??!!!!

 

[darkmatter_3500]

Managuense , red devil, vieja fenestratum , severum are my large fish, my growouts are Freddys, grammodes, zonatus, some kind of beautiful vieja that I cant identify yet, snook, lucius pike, nicaraguensis cichlid, jack dempsey, salvini, festae, lyonsi, red tiger motaguense, dovii and umbee. My dovii and umbee are small but I have 2-340 tanks coming just for them.

2-340 gallon!!!!!! Or liter!

 

[darkmatter_3500]

Gallon lol, I almost forgot , I have vieja regani also

 

[em_witt]

Omg that's huge!:0 wish I had room for those!

 

[darkmatter_3500]

The 340 gallon tanks are 130"X25.5"x24.5 so the will have long tanks to swim in.

 

[em_witt]

Wow...

 

[darkmatter_3500]

This is my umbee, supposed to be male, and it really looks like a male but still have to wait and see, I have 2 dovii, no pics yet but they are too small to sex. If I get a male it will be by itself , a female can go in my 300 community tank. I do not want to breed these guys.

 

[em_witt]

Why not??? They look really cool!!

 

[darkmatter_3500]

They are cool but they get huge and will kill just about anything you put in the tank with them once they mature, alot of people get them but they grow 2 feet long and get very stocky and have to be kept solo in most cases as adults. Most people who keep them cant properly house them as adults. I just dont want to add to the problem, plus they can get rather violent with each other like most cichlids when spawning , the males have the equipment to inflict major damage on a female.

 

[darkmatter_3500]

They are awsome fish if you can provide the right housing for them

 

[darkmatter_3500]

This was my green terror that jumped the tank I miss him, he kept the peace in my growout tank , it got crazy for a few days after with aggression but they worked it all out. My male festae rules that tank now

 

[em_witt]

Oh....

 

[em_witt]

I'm sorry to hear that!!
