What happened to yours?
ya don't remember? I had a grow out thread on them. I bought them super small not to long after you / HCR all got yours I believe.. But anyway I got them all up to about 5" or so in a 55 gal grow out tank, then decided to move the three to another grow out tank a size up (150gal) that had been up and running for well over a year (so cycle / water quality wasn't an issue) and I already had other cichla around that same size already living in this tank too....But when I moved them they all stressed out and one by one they all died with in a week or so... I couldn't explain it nor have I ever lost cichla like this before but was new to Xingu so didn't have a clue (still don't) to why they died and everyone else in both grow out tanks lived and are still fine????? I even did full inspections (inside and out) on all three Xingu and found nothing visible.. I'm still pretty sad to have lost those guys and haven't been able to replace them since.
