What's your plan on feeding these guys?

They really are amazing fish, I just hope you the best of luck at keeping them.

If you have not read this...quite interesting history and attempts at breeding them.

70-90cm, 2-3 ft fish..

read it like 3 or 4 times already plus other crap

right now i am feeding shrimp to bring out the yellow but they eat just about anything you throw at them
and i doubt they will get 3ft due to being in a tank for most of there life or at least until they hit someones pond

I thought this was the Emperor Cichlid.

Good luck. I'm ready to convert my pond if need be!

you going to convert your whole porch or what lol

[geoff_tropheus]

I never kept these fish before, but it was interesting seeing their behavoirs in the JEwel of the Rift.

How old are these guys?

[geoff_tropheus]

HEy Jesper, I think they were mistaken about the only breeding once in a lifetime from what I have read now.

someday i will get my 500g 8x4x2 and get a few of these:)

They are looking a lot better than from your first pics.

What are you feeding them?

[gotticgs]

******** pretty much eat anything that moves!

[eklikewhoa]

No feeding vid?

They are looking awesome and already look like they have outgrown the tank the way they reach the other side with a flick of the flank.

[gotticgs]

i will do it tomorrow but i have to feed them close to when the lights go out or about an hour ahead because they get vicious and go nucking futs after they eat for some reason !!

[eklikewhoa]

Add more flow!

You plan on keeping the front in there? How is it taking the crazies? I would get a buttload of those burundi fry tattoo has and stuff the tank with them.... this way the fish can hunt them.

[gotticgs]

the fronts are to big RIGHT NOW to get missed with give it another 6 months and yes i need more flow

as for the hunting gawd dam that's one expensive snack ! because they did eat those 2" msobos
