Amphilophus Sp. Chancho

[---XR---]

I just received a couple i bought a couple days ago. I was wondering who else keeps these guys and what your experiences are with the species.

My current stocklist- 1 Male 4" and 1 Female 4", Both F1.

i bought these guys mainly to see if the rumors of the largest cichlid of the midas complex really gets 17", time will tell.

Hopeing to breed mine, currently staying in a 180.

in the cichlid news it says they behave much like midas

I have one, but he's just pushing three inches right now. I got him from Fishfarm and he's growing fast. Hopefully we'll have a bunch of 17 inch fish someday! I love the yellow on adults.

I traded Ruck Fules my 9" Umbee female for his 12" Chancho male! This thing is thick and is high bodied! Simply awesome to look at! From what I was told it got to 12" in 18 months! I'm getting the female from him also....

I used to have some too but mines were slow growing compared to Midas and RDs.

yeah that's what i would have bet, but i have seen so many midas with so many "personality's" that it would be hard for me to judge just from that standpoint.

Agreed

Mine are eating very well, and arrived very bulky, i can just see the fatty's these guys will become. (nuchal humps already forming by the looks of it).
