Thanks, 10 or 11” been in the tank since they where about 6 or 7” I guess.Beautiful - what size/age are these guys? How long have they been in the big boy tank?
I’ve got them about 17 months ago. I can be guilty of heavy feeding sometimes . Sadly I no longer have my big umbee. He died from some type of swim bladder issue. Now all I keep are Amphilophus.How long did it take you to get them to 10/11"? I'm going on almost 20 months since I got 4 amphs in the 4-5" range and they are now 9-11". It seems like they would have grown faster in my 300 gallon, since I have had them in smaller tanks in the past and they seemed to grow faster. That said, in the past I kept them warmer and power fed - plus almost always the dominant fish, vs. one of many.
BTW, do you still have your big Umbee?
He sold his fish business to Dan ye Jennings and Gage BradyThey look fantastic, conkals fish are always amazing, shame he is so hard to get hold off!-)
