Cichla Brokopondo Q's

[mthao105]

Hey MFK, I was wondering if you guys could give me some info on brokos before I take the plunge on these guys. Whats their max size, growth rate, etc...anything. I read somewhere that they're more sensitive than other cichla species?

Here's mine, I got him a lil less than a year ago now at 2". He's pushing 13" now and is one of my best looking cichla. The Brokopondo sensitive...lol Not from what I've seen..Pretty tuff though. You could expect a Brokopondo to reach about 24"-26" max size over the first three years. If your thinking of getting one, make sure you have the room.
