The speckled peacock bass can grow 1m 3.3ft long and weigh 14kg 30lbs making it the largest Cichlid in the world the silver Arawana can grow 1.2m 4ft long and weigh 7kg 15lbs the ripsaw catfish can grow 1.2m 4ft long and weigh 25kg 55lbs the granulated catfish can grow 90cm 3ft long and weigh 10kg 22lbs
How do the catfish and arowana get any food? The peacocks are so fast, powerful and aggressive. I dont think I saw the other fish get a single mouthful.
I never clean the bottom. I feed only three times a week and got a lot of wave maker so the water flow is very strong and every dirts gets easly into sump.
Your Cichla are truly amazing ! Remember my groupe of C occelaris 25 years before...one of the more interesting fishes I ever maintaining . Osteogrossom too ! Congrats for yours success !
