Boulengerochromis growth rate

[the_evil_dickfeldi]

Hi I was wondering whether someone could share their experiences with this awesome cichlid's growth rate??

Here's mine

I originally found mine in a LFS shelldweller tank. At 4cm long and a simple gray color, I assumed him to be some kinda hap, and interested at his funny behavior, I took him home and put him in my 72 gallon Tropheus tank He suddenly got a very beautiful yellow color, and experts identified him as a Boulengerochromis. He was originally the smallest fish in the tank, but soon bypasssed the dominant male Troph by far.

In six weeks, he grew from 4cm to 20cm, five times his original size!!

Has anyone witnessed this kind of awesome growth rate??

Try reposting the pic... it didn't show up.

He will eventually need a very large tank (220 gal or larger). Watch it, one of these days, you'll come home to those trophs ending up as expensive snacks..
