Hello,
maybe someone here knows about these giant perch-likes from africa!
There are always some specimens for sale wich git breeded and sometimes labeled as more colourfull or are supposed to stay more colourfull since the normale lates niloticus will be just grey for most of its lifespan.
Is there something to it or is that just plain BS?
Same thing about the size: As far as i know, the 400lbs monsters are of course the exception, but there are breeders claiming that their fish will not reach more than 50", which is of course still a huge fish but would be much more easier to handle than the true giants from nature.
Maybe someone can tell us more about how big they really get in the aquarium and how fast they grow, i would guess they grow really fast in the beginning but are slowing down after reaching 30-40"?
Greetings
