Nice grammodes. I wish mine would grow like that.

What are you feeding him and does he eat like a pig or is he a "hit-and-miss" eater. Mine is very "hit-and-miss" and very picky.

so have u got him in with the female now?

they are completely different species

They look very similar though. I wasn't sure if they were related, at least in pics. I don't see so many freshwater fish here in Florida (not like when I lived in CA). All the local fish stores seem to focus more on saltwater fish.

I do see something nice once in a while but not so often.

nice grammy. i've been trying for ages to source one in australia but no luck. seems like they haven't 'swam' over here yet. hopefully soon
you got some nice tanks going man.

good luck with his healing process

Thank for the compliments. This is my third attempt at keeping a Grammodes the first two got killed.

Yeah the tail and some missing scales. He'll be fine.

hes nice and plump. looks healthy. keep up the good work!

Thanks. He's really beefed up a lot recently but stil not as big and beefy as I wish he was.

I appreciatate it. Thanks for looking.

Grammodes was classified as nandopsis for a while but I see it's now listed as cichlasoma again whereas Dovii are Parachromis. Grammys are often called Mini-Dovii because they have a similar shape.

He's not real thick yet....do they get real thick? This is my first mature Grammodes. The first two got murdered before they hit 5".
