Biggest cichlid in the world

[ultimatejay]

Just picked this guy up yesterday and him and my nile perch are best friends now. He is an Emperor cichlid. Some argue that pbass get bigger but this guy is supposed to get 36" in the wild. He is beautiful too. Picture does him no justice. He is only about 4-5" right now. He reminds me of a saltwater yellowtail or an amberjack.

Good pickup. I have wanted one of those forever but I don't have the tank space unfourtunatly.

If you don't mind telling, how much did you pay for it.

Jed shipped me his "12 inchers" and they turned out to be 14-15 inches easy. they are eating machines and get some bizarre colors when they feel like it. You have an awesome fish there and I hope it grows to be a nice monster for you.
