I'm not sure how much they are eating. I'm trying to keep as many feeeders in there as I can without affecting water quality. I'm thinking of trying to feed mealworms to the two smaller ones. They are a little shyer about going after the feeders.

And some more pics. Tape measure for reference on the sizes. Last picture is probably my best one so far.

they look great man!!! will post a bit more later the feeding, but great job thus far!
 
nice! great to see more cubans around
 
Just a little update, the cubans have started taking strips of tilapia from my hand. Still keeping a constant supply of feeders in the tank as well. They have been growing very well and now range from 6.25-7.25". So 1.25-1.5 inches of growth in just under 2 weeks.

nice growth on the fish!

xander brought up the scalation issue with me about his fish when he got it; i believe its an artifact of the aquaculture process...may be early developmental issues because of the stocking density or damage related to it OR even spawning issues based on the parents.

i am basing this on the fact that many of the 12 i currently have show some irregularity in scalation, and even a couple of adults i have had (from same source) have shown/retained the abnormalities after 5-7 years. no serious problem for the fish, but it is an interesting curiosity--
