Hi guys, if it's not to much hassle could everyone with monster cichla post me a full tank shot of their peacock bass tanks and include the dimensions of the tank and rough size of the fish. I just want to get an idea of how big peacock bass look in their tanks.
Any contributions will be greatly appreciated and this would make a great thread for for all us cichla lovers to have a look through.

cichla range from 14" to 22"
 
thats a compliment :) tank decor is Scott/DM inspired...lol
 
They are farm bred. The FL Hbrids are "wild" caught, as is the 2 spot. They eat Tilapia Filets and Market shrimp everyday lately as im doing a secong cycle of power feeding, but normally will feed them every other day or so.
 
Cool buddy! The sweet thing about tem is that they only show their best when over 15" at least. The bigger ones seem to show more contrasting white spots then the smaller ones. Check those Johnptc Tems. Too bad it is not easy to buy them at that size from LFS, otherwise they are a worthy Monster fish to keep in any big tank.

I see the your water is slightly tainted, what's your pH like? Do you use black water stuff?

I hope your power feeding is going to get them into spawning mode, I dare say the colour will be just as colourful as any Pbass out there when it happens.
