Hey guys I was thinking about getting 2 or 4 of these guys cause i know they turn out great as adults and was wondering what would be the minimum tank and proper way to take care of these guys. Also is $10 a good deal for 3"
Tems get BIIIIIIG! I would be thinking in the neighborhood of 400g for life. Depending on the quality of the individual fish $10 for juvis is a solid deal.
get them!
most awesome cichla in terms of personality IME.
but ive never kept orinos and some of the rare ones.
grow the biggest and get there the fastest.
also the easiest cichla to get off live!
How zit braddah...just head to lake wilson and catch one (but no tems there)...lol that what i use to do back in my younger days growing up in wahiawa...lol...but yeah 55gal, it gonna be a quick growout cause tems grow quick!!!
These guys get HUGE !!! The Trust has some that are pushing 30" right now and might even be bigger... Great p's though.. So your tanks gonna have to be big..
