Another Brokopondo Update

[Blakewater]

Just sharing a few recent pictures of my two biggest beastie broko's. I haven't kept up with their growth on the forums like I have on facebook so here's a little catch-up. Growth seems to have slown down quite a bit finally but they're definitely some solid chunks now. 1000% My favorite Cichla "strain" still no matter what. Hope to get these guys to 2' one day but currently they're sitting around 15-16" and around 12-14 months old (Pictures are from the last 6 weeks or so till now). Enjoy guys!

My all time favorite bass for sure. Hoping to breed them soon. Would be absolutely amazing if some got the oddball 6 spot's pattern too but I doubt it.

One other funny photo of them staring down their food and an update on my semi stunted Broko who is finally starting to colour up.

I believe the 6 spot is the female and the bigger yellow to be the male. He has a harsher forehead angle and seems to be more dominant. Ive also tried to vent them without removing them and based on that Im 85% sure those sexings are correct. The smaller broko I'm not sure of yet
