Amphilophus Red Isleta Progression Thread

[xinchavoc]

I decided to make thread dedicated to my red isleta... Got him on april 28th from TUIC. He was 5.5" seven months later he is now 9-9.5" and has become one of my favorite cichlids... He does seem to grow slower than other amphs compared to labiutms and citrinellums.... Im looking forward to see how big he's going to get... He has become one of my favorites... Tell me what you think?

Day of arrival...

Taken May 15 @ about 6"



Taken June 7 @ about 6.5"





Taken August 4 @ about 7.5"


Taken December 2 @ about 9-9.5"
