Actually, ornates tend to get quite a bit larger than P. blochii, even though technically P. blochii have a larger maximum size (they take forever to reach their max. size, and most never get past 6-8").Experiment397;4381446; said:thoose are pimelodus blochii, i am getting pimelodus ornatus, same size but slimer, meaner, and it has a longer flater shovelnose style head
I'm pretty sure that's a myth. Largest I've heard of was 13".komodo182;4381477; said:my biggest one is named bubba ( He is older, not a juv) and he is around 7 inches. I think he is full grown and he is about 5 years old now. I had him when I was younger and didn`t really care about what size tank I had, so I think he is stunted. He was in a 15 gallon ( I know terrible, but I was much younger then), now he is in a 70 and happy. He is in charge of the bottom. The other two ones ( about 4 inches) know their place,lol..
I have read that P. Blochii will reach 27 inches!
Never seen one that large,lol
Bubba is the largest I have seen....
From reading his sig, looks like he also has a 125.Pyramid_Party;4381487; said:What are you gonna do wit the cichlids that outgrow your 30 gallon?
