K kdrun76 Piranha MFK Member Mar 4, 2009 1,637 100 81 CT Oct 8, 2010 #4 Thanks. He's been my buddy for a long time now. I do hope he stops growing soon though, he is in a 180 now and I don't want to get him a bigger tank.

K kdrun76 Piranha MFK Member Mar 4, 2009 1,637 100 81 CT Oct 8, 2010 #6 He is a 4 species hybrid. One parent was Oreochromis mossambicus x O. hornorum the other parent was O. niloticus x O. aureus I presumed his parents were not only sterile but also both male. Finding fry in my filter was a BIG surprise. He is the only remaining of that cohort.
