I have a group of 3 Amphilophus Longimanus from Lago Nicaragua, 1 female and 2 males i think.
The 2 presumed males are around 6" and the female around 4-5".
Does anyone know the maximum size of the Nicaraguan race????
I think my trio has maxed out.

i've read on a few sites that depending on where theyre from, they can grow from 5-10". but no site distinguishes which race grows to which size.
I have seen pics of large honduran longimanus, but only small nicaraguan ones.

I've collected them in Honduras, 6" is big, much more than that is huge. Ken


I totally agree...... If you find a 10" longimanus go ahead and name him Andre (as in "The Giant"), or the "Big Show" or Shaq or something like that!

I've never had one even approach that size. Beautiful species though!
 
Cheers Gents... Looks like mine are fully grown then.

I've had no signs of breeding yet, but i have them in a community tank at the moment. I need to get them in a tank on there own.
