Help me identify my monster

[Atfownz]

I never seen a RRS pass 7 inches in TL in captive aquaria.. but I mean who really knows right? Massive tank, crazy flow, balanced diet, and clean pristine water conditions possibly can get this beast to edge out pass 7in TL..

Last time I measured TL of mine back in Feb of 2013, it ran about 6.5"..

They can get up to 9in or possibly more but extremely rare. Like other serras they grow extremely slow, so for you to get him to that size you will need years plus optimal water conditions and diet. good luck!

Man that would be awesome to get a RRS to 9in TL... What a beast!

It will be impossible to get a rrs to 9 inches unless you kept it for a long time and got it at 7 inches.....kind of like how almost all small rhoms brought in won't exceed 12 inches in captivity unless brought in at larger sizes

My largest rrs was almost 7.5 inches when I sold him 1.5 years ago

Do you value your "left over" cichlids? lol

Not su much, I've tried to give the left over cichlids away, with no luck, so he has a healthy lunch to pick from.
He takes out the odd one, but for the most part he leaves them alone.
