Biggest cichlid in the world

Here are some more pics of the emperor and nile perch as requested. The nile perch will go from dull grey to awesome gold and black marble in seconds when he gets excited.

those are awesome. Do you know anyone else who has them for sale?

 

[ultimatejay]

I don't know of any right now. I bought him from Wes at Rare fish, you might want to talk to him. The nile perch is skinny right now because I am trying to get him off of feeders and he is being stubborn. So far it's been a little over one week. Hopefully the new Emperor will get him to eat the frozen smelt and shrimp.

EAT THEM!

Yep. They have a long time to go before I have to worry about that, but I plan to get a 700-1000gallone tank in a few years.

I heard they are pretty tasty.
