Those are some very nice calvus and comps there. My brother's first cichlids were these and they were very nice to keep. Reminds me of the old days back when we kept them. Now I really want to get them again and raise them despite their slow growth. Thanks for sharing. :)

No, not wild caught. The one's in you first pic...How big are they? They look awesome!!! Also, what kinds do you have?

I have to agree these are some of my absolute favorite fish...I think they are just stunning fish.

[junglej]

thank you! the first pic is of my 4 in. black calvus and the others are 2-3 in. The third pic is of my Cape Nangu comps. In the past i have also kept gold head comps and white chaitika calvusand i plan to set up a 55g for some Dwarf comps.

How long have you had him (the 4 incher)? Just wondering how long it takes them to get to that size. I have had my calvus about 4 months or so and they have grown in that time but now a huge amount. He is a stunner...well, they all are but he just looks awesome. Mine are only about 2". I have a black and a white calvus and then gold head and lufubu red comps...They are only about an inch.

[junglej]

i've had my 4 incher for about a year and a half now, but i've had him since he was only about a half in. He has survived 2 moves and when my wife took the decor out of the tank to move, I thought he was gone for good . he sat in the bottom of the bucket for about a half hour until i got home. Yet i still believe (from past experiences) that this is a normal rate of growth. After they hit 2 in. i usually notice a great increase in growth rate. Hope this helps.

[Bre]

Cool...I am going to say my calvus have probably grown an inch in that 4 months...I hope they grow good and look as awesome as yours.

[junglej]

Thank You, I'm sure they will, just give them time. i've never been let down by any of my altos, although my patience has been more than tested. Good Luck!

Here's a couple pics...He is just a little guy about inch, inch and a quarter or so....He is one of my favs and can't wait to see him grow. I also have some gold head comps and even thoguh similar at this size I can always pick him out.
