I was playing around with my buddy a little bit so I thought I would share. He is guarding a batch of fry along with the mommy. I'm not brave enough to play with her. :D

Awesome fish man. I love how aggressive they get guarding fry. You gonna send me some? :D

If you can tell me an easy way to send them and I can catch a few once they grow up you are welcome to them. I am really impressed with the way they are looking (the older ones). Two catches though, if you share them make sure you let the person know that they are hybrids and you pay shipping. I imagine that since you are in VA that priority shipping should work.

Let's see how they grow though, hopefully in three or four weeks they are thriving. Just drop me a pm and remind me about this post. ;)

Good deal man, as long as everyone know what they are getting.
I've got two pairs of labiatus, both with fry, in a 125, if you put your hand in there it would come back shredded. Ken

My wife put her hand in when I was playing with him prior to making the video (when he decided to soak me :D ) and tried to see how hard he bit. He wouldn't bite her. He would have probably ripped my arm off though. :D

He is currently around 9" so he still has a long way to go. According to Ken he should still double in size. I can't wait to see him once he grows up. :D
