I was just wondering if anyone has any and has any pics of this fish fully grown and im curious as to max size and if i can mix them with my azuls of course that would be some time in the future since my azuls are substantially larger than these would be. Im mainly curious in adult colors and wondering if its worth the price tag on them.

Yes, you can mix them.
They'll hit 20" or so
I only have 3 right now.
They are personally my fav cichla sp. followed by azuls. Here are the 3 melanaie.

Wow thanks for sharing man. Beautiful fish and just what i needed to see. I like your tank too, what size is it? The tank im building is 336 gallons. I was going to put my azuls and my bahia red tail oscars in it with my leopoldi female since she is just a baby. I like the stump too i was going to try to find something like that for my tank but ive decided to keep it clear. Thanks again for sharing.
 
I too am curious about that tank! Awesome looking fish! They look small compared to that tank / driftwood however hah. Whered you get that piece?
 
it definately looks like a monster tank especially if those are 20" bass. Im also curious as to how hard it was to mount that driftwood and how you mounted it and more pics please! lol
