Slow growers from 2''-7'' (about 6-7 months) then from 8''-12'' (about 2 months) then slows down after that, about a 1/2'' a month. At 15'' or so it's a snail pace for them to grow.

Ok kool ! I was thinking their growth would be something like that , but just wanted to be sure .
they was establishing a pecking order yesterday I spent most of the day watching them, I went shopping friday
evening with my wife and I caught a bad cold off someone, hopefully I get over it soon cause frankly I have next to no energy .
Good news is the living room is almost done being revamped which means my 400 is going to be set up soon !
I ordered the bulk heads yesterday actually
As soon as the 400 is set up I am going to move the orino's to a 75 gallon and is being filtered with a FX% and a AC 110 and it has a power head in there as well , it is pretty bare in there right now except for the sand substrate but I will add soem driftwood and some good sized rocks and some fake plants to make it more appealing to the Pbass .
Well its time to go feed the 5 babies

The not so great news is one of my wifes kittens decided to chew through my USB cord for my camera!!!! should be able to get another one in a couple days ( in time for the update of my pbass )
the Great news is the orino's are growing like champs!!! there are 3 that are growing amazingly fast ( you'll notice in the video) the other 2 are growing but just not as fast .
You know I got to thinking orino's are awesome but what could I do to step up my game so I decided to make
a few phone calls to expand my small Cichla collection and you guys are never gonna guess what I have coming in .............

That is awesome news. I think everyone is in love with Huge's ocell including myself. Can't wait to see some pics.
yea they are quite distructive little devils!.
Got the 90 gallon empty and dried off , so checked it out but couldn't find the leak so I flipped it on its side and found some of the silicone on the bottom of the tank had came undone and was really thin in other spots So I am thankful it could of been alot worse , good thing I have a frew tubes of fish safe silicone laying around for this very reason lol , so I am going to wait a couple days with a fan blowing on it just to make sure its good and dry then I will mask it off and totally resilicone the entire bottom of the tank

I am having some issues with my computer , its not letting me upload anything , I checked the memory and its at 70 % so that really shouldn't be an issue , if I can't figure it out in a couple days I will be taking it to the shop and see if they can figure it out .
but for now the Orino's are eating 3 times a day everday , the only problem I am having is
they only want to eat black worms !!! they won't take ANY pellets now or even FD krill , or cut up tilapia fillet, or Market shrimp and I really don't want to starve them but does any one have any Ideas ?
the temps is 86 , I do water changes 30% every 3rd day , they are in the 29 all by themselves ( I think I am going to be moving some fish around to open up one of my 55's and put them in there to see if maybe that will help )
I should be getting my 2 guyana Occels in a couple days they will be going into a 75
I am sorry for not being able to update with pics or video yet but I promise I will as soon as I get my comp issues fixed
