Parachromis Managuense a.k.a Jaguar cichlid. He a about 2 years old and 12"-12.5". I raised him from a pup. I like Jags because they're big and predatory, they look beautiful and develop an awesome purple sheen that my crappy camera can't capture. His spots constantly change with his mood. This is the fish I ws talking about when I referred to africans being feeders because he would eat every fish in that picture. :D And remember I was only making a joke. Please don't be upset.

awesome. by the way how big is your tank to fit that inside.
 
man that is huge compared to my 55g. my next target is 120g and it will most likely stay there.

It's never big enough. That's only enough tank to tease you. Do yourself a favor and get a minimum of a 180 for your next tank. It's 6' x 2' and can actually hold some fish. If you buy the 120 (4' x 2') you'll be upgrading in less than a year trust me.
 
i will have to see what money buys. i don`t have that much money. but the (120 in 5ft by 2)ft or (60in. by 24in). thats what i saw on the label at the store.

That's not such a bad tank. I have a 60.5" x 24.5" x 25" rated at 156 gallons myself so I can say firsthand. That should be a good size for Africans but with CA/SA you really want a 6'.

Yup yup, a Standard 100g tank is very nice : ) Almost perfect for most fish.
