I’m hopefully picking up 5 Cichla Azul soon at 3inches I notice a lot of people grow them out in small tanks. Will it be an issue dropping them straight in a 600gallon by themselves?

If you can drop them in a 600G tank better for them... When they are little it will seem big, but not for long!
Good luck and keep us updated of their growth rate.

Yes agree the larger the aquarium better for growing out the PBass. Consistent water change routine and good foods will aid in growth also.

Awesome, I was a bit worried about them finding food. Should be here in about a week or so I’ll do a grow out thread when they arrive. In the mean time if anyone has some big Azul feel free to post some pics there doesn’t seem to be too many on the search function.
