Meet my rhom that I've grown out from half an inch

Scraped off some of the algae on the glass for a better photo opp. Here's an update on the rhom and his exodon tankmates. Some of the exodons are close to 3".
17 year is quite the dedication my man, that's longer than most dogs can live. My rhom is growing pretty slow now, I can barely tell a difference. Lol
You will stop noticing growth. I did many things wrong over the years that probably stunted growth but her went from 2.5in to 10in in those 17 years. Especially as he gets bigger the growth is in width and height versus really length.
Good luck with him. They are special fish.

I wonder if it's the tank size that's limiting the growth currently though. going go rehome Her to a bigger home before end of the year.
That's true dedication that time and effort has paid off based on the pics I've known maybe a dozen people who have kept fish more than 10 years including a tank with 17 year old cichlids keep up the good work!
it's unknown why but no one has been able to get past that 12in mark when growing from small. Maybe if you have them a swimming pool but I doubt there is a difference between a 75 and 250g. Maybe if you did an auto drip so you had constant new water.
