Brutus my Haitiensis

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hi everyone. The tank move went well, Brutus and Mutley are now back in and settled.
Brutus is pushing 16inch and really thick, the pics don't show his bulk very well. His weight 1.380kg = 48oz or 3lb

Man what a beast he's awesome. Absolutely love that fish. I really hope these little 1 inchers I got turn out like this guy. How did you end up wrangling him out of the tank?
 
Fluidsuit Fluidsuit ..... The hard way. Lol there is no easy way with a beast like that!
I've had limited success, but moreso than with nets alone, using a small bucket in the tank. So essentially I would net them head first then direct them into the bucket in the tank and pull the bucket out with water and fish inside.
 
Brutus is beautfiul, great name too. I came across your fish room walk threw on youtube the other day... big mac and mcflurry had me laughing
 
They are such a cool fish. Living in Canada its hard to find cichlids like these. Unfortunate really.
 
Great looking Haitiensis.....and like others Mr Woods,I really enjoy your youtube channel..keep the videos comming.........

Thank you. I'm in the process of moving tanks around, ready for delivery of a new 7ft x2.5 x2. When all fish have settled I will be doing a update video.
