Me and my dad just got the big monoc out of the pond, needless to say i got drenched! LOL. Hes massive! Hes more than my hand width in body depth and hes so chunky! But due to the fact that only i could stand in the room the pix came out crap and you still cant get an idea of size. Hes a little annoyed now. Hes down at the bottom. But he'll be fine! The pix are terrible but i'll try and do it again somtime in the day for better pix!

Please comment!

Big and Chunky! Nice update Bruce. I bet he put up a fight.
I had to use a 2' net and i floated the net and pulled him out by hand, completly drenched me and my dad about 6' behind me!

Ive had to change clothes LOL

Worth it ha ha

He fit into a 4 gal bucket with turning room when u got him last year hes massive now! I cant get over how much hes grown!

Yes it is worth it staying in the game and getting to see the fruit's of your labors pay off is a very good feeling. Plus show's what it takes to raise a monster cichla the proper way. Good job Bruce he's looking very healthy and happy. You must be real proud. :D I am for you. :headbang2
 
Looking good boggy, Nice and big. Great work.
