Last week I brought my Uros back to the LFS. Didn't get any credit for them:mad: because even with pictures in front of the manager's face he insisted they were red terrors. I also got rid of my psycho fire mouth, she wouldn't leave anything alone, even attacking rocks and plants!

Anyways, I emailed Jeff Rapps and ordered three baby red terrors, a salvini, and a Heros "Rotkiel." I lost two of the red terror babies:( , but have the remaining one growing out in a 20 gallon.:woot:

I should have a 180 by this time next year, but how fast does the red terror grow? Once it reaches about three inches I will put it into my 75, but right now it will get eaten for sure. That's how I lost the other two, someone had a midnight snack and left the heads:duh: My fault for putting three 1.5" fish into a tank with 4 and 6 inch fish.
 
I have not yet owned a true festae, but my false red terror (mayan cichlid) has grown at a pretty speedy rate. I have had him for about 3 months. He was an inch when I got him, he's 3.5" now and mean as can be!!!
