Very nice. Short one looks like Pacman.
 
fellas i have a question, i've got two bahia kels that i got when they were about 4 inches.. got the specimens without bars hoping they would develop into some of the barless bahias with all the speckles.. they are now approaching 10 inches, color is good and getting better, slight bars are showing but its okay, but not too much black and gold outlined speckles going on... i just wanna know if speckles will still develop as they grow bigger, or is it too late for speckles to develop at their size?

Haha thanks bud! Bumble bee grouper? Why you gonna ship me one from jersey to the philippines? Haha they look great actually i love their colors and aggression but i wouldnt know how to take care of brackish fish. Plus we have a lot of grouper here in the islands. Chinese restos have tanks full of grouper to be steamed with fermented yellow bean and soy sauce and blanched with smoking hot oil! Very very good eating! Hehe
 
GIve those kels time and they will shine. Like all cichla...over the years they continue to develop.
