Okay thank you I got this guy when he was like 2 cm and it was labeled as a flowerhorn and no the Pepsi can is not inside the tank lmao I have my tank I’m my room and my room is an absolute mess
Ok thank you I didn’t know what section to put it in cause it says I’m not able to put it in cichlid and didn’t know the region the cichlid is fromkno4te do shift this tread to the american cichlid section.
I’m sorry I’m new to this site I can’t find out how to shift to a different section
Don't worry kno4te will move it for you. Nice blackbelt by the way there not a fish seen often round my end.
Ok and thank you I’ve grown him out since he was a fry and labeled as a flowerhorn also a cool thing about my black belt is that if I put my finger to the tank he goes up to it and flares his fins like a territorial thing but it looks like he’s dancing and it’s beautiful I’ll post a video soon of it I’ll try to anyway he’s extremely curious about everything his personality is amazing
Still a baby, it can reach over 30cm, as an adult, a 2 meter tank would be minimal (The Cichlid Room Companion suggests at least 3 meters).
They occasionally are found the the ocean grazing on salt water algae, and don't often play well with others as adults.
They are the widest ranging Central American cichlid, found from Lake Ysabal Belize to the Charges River in Panama.
Their aggressive nature and tolerance for sea water may be contributors to the wide distribution
Here in Central America they are considered a great fish for dinner, in the same manner as any pan fish would elsewhere.
