My temensis were so tiny that I have been housing them in one of my girlfriends dwarf cichlid tanks temporarily until they are big enough to mix w/ other small cichlids in a bigger grow out tank. My girl like to be the one to feed our fish frozen brine and blood worms. She has a gorgeous Crenicichla regani dwarf pike in that tank too which hangs w/ bass for now. Unfortunately when she closed the lid there has a tiny less than 1/2 inch crack left open and 1 of my Temensis managed to JUMP out of it. I have lost some baby bass to the smallest crack s over the years let me tell you.
Temensis wasn't the most expensive or rarest, but it definitely took me the longest to get. Cest la vie....

No these are from Rapps, but trust me they won't be small for long te way they eat. It didn't hurt as bad as when a baby xingu jumped out or when a baby broko made the blind leap, but I've been wantin these fish for almost 20 years since I worked at Aquarium Imports in high school and there was only 2 cichla in Axelrods atlas lol.
