Hey guys. I'm rarely ever on here as I've never kept Cichla long term mainly due to my primary interests being elsewhere. That being said, I saw a pair of intermedia and I had to have them. My tank is a 225 which is on the smaller side so I never could really keep bass long term and always wanted these since they were the smallest species and you can eek by with a 225. The fact that these are larger and pushing close to 9-10 inches and the fact that they were pellet trained and they fit the bill nicely.
My current inhabitants are a pair of Marble Motoros, a pair of Crenicichla Zebrina, and 4 adolescent Heros Liberifers that serve as nice little dithers for the bigger fish. I just got these two Intermedia today from

and he did an amazing job with these. Not to mention he hooked it up. Thanks again

Tank is covered where any surface is exposed while the open areas are used for growing out a mix of pothos and Spathyphyllum Peace Lillies. They grow like weeds and helps my water. Filtration is 2 Fx-6's and a Rena XP-L. Water changes once a week at 50% and water temp sitting at 82. Lastly, water is 6.8 pH and 179ppm hardness out of the tap.
Let me know what you think.
