Hey guys awesome tems. I was Jwn who had the biggest one on here and how big do they actually get in aquariums? I see the stuff on the net but I was Jwn first hand... Just picked up one a few days ago got lucky lol but I know the feeling of looking and not being able to find one it took me 3yrs but it happened so good luck to all I'm sure you guys will sooner or later.

Alot of people arent keeping them anymore because they cant properly house them as adults. 300-400g just wont cut it. 120x48x? would be considered a minimum for one adult, possibly 2 with no other fish. These are the giants of the cichla world! a 24" Orino would be an accomplishment. A 24" Tem is just hitting its stride lol.
