emperor cichlids

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
derekp thanks for the info. wow! i'm overwhelmed with what i've read!
 
I was gonna say...a 90 gal for a fish that's 3 feet long? Boulengerochromis is the Tang. one... 12 bucks? Sounds waaaay to cheap to me, but if it is,m it's an awesome deal!

Oh, I see. I wasn't aware there was even a tanginyakan Emperor cichlid. I think MsMassPoly was talking about the same one I was, too.

it is bro, can't even believe it. will arrive in a weeks time together with my parachanna.
 
I have kept them several times in my 750g and they are not peaceful once they hit ~16-17". I agree their growth rate is very fast. 2+" for the first several months. They will dominate and potentially kill pbass of similar size in a tank. At one point I had large silver aros 2' plus that were fine with the emp but the emp was much smaller. One of my favorite cichlids for sure.
