Uh huh. You claimed Grammodes would attain "10-12 inches".

and I quote..

I will add that filtration is critical with 'Cichlasoma'grammodes as they are messy eaters with a heavy waste load and a potential size of 30 cm so the best solution is an exterior filter or a couple of large interior filters to cope with the nitrate build up.

If you've got some sort of personal problem with me, as my signature suggests, shoot me a PM. Don't try and pick apart comments of mine and try to blatantly stray off topic.

Do you recommend keeping an exC. grammodes in a 3 foot aquarium sir?

Uh huh. You claimed Grammodes would attain "10-12 inches". Have you ever seen a 10" specimen?

Just because you haven't seen a 10+" Grammy doesn't mean it doesn't get that big. Might be rare but attainable. They just take a while to get there.


How about Salvinini. They're quite the lookers imho.

go with a savlnini, nice and colorful, won't be too many problems

a 36x18" would be a decent grow out for a grammodes until it hit say 8" as an absolute max but not for life.
