i though i'd use this posting as an introduction and a thank you, to all of you.
i've lurked around here for some time now, but havent posted yet, as to i was way to busy reading up on everything. i didnt even know of peacock basses until i saw a monster tank build on youtube, leading me to here. since then my love for fish has turned for the best.
i went on from watching the video, to purchasing my cichlas @ about 2" each(bought 8 of them from my lfs), and now 78 months later they are all(yes, all 8, even for my amateurness) are closing in on 8-9 inches.
here are some pictures...
@ about 5 months
@ about 7 months
i apologize for the weirdness in how the pics are looking. they were taken with my camera phone.
closing remarks: i thought a 44g was big enough to start them off. i was right on that part. however they grow so big, so fast. i just went out and got myself a 175g, and will be taking some new current pictures soon on the digital camera(so pictures turn out better). wish me luck.
