Just wanted to share a few pics I took last night of my Tem... Man these cichla are quite amazing, his color has yet again morphed and his fins have turned blue even... He has also developed quite a bit of gold/yellow that he didn't have even a week ago. I'm unsure if this is just him growing up or if it has something to do with the new tank he's in....:confused: And he isn't old enough yet to be going into breeding colors either... But either way I'm digging it because he is really blossoming :naughty: He's about 24"-26" long now and hammers anything ya toss in his tank. Funny dame thing is, my two 16" Kels still run this tank..??? Although this oh boy don't take too much of their crap.

Anyway thought I'd share! :naughty:

Yeah, here he was when I first got him - he was about 8"-9". I bought this Tem from HCR and it was one or the tems that was sold to him as an Cichla intermedia...(Ya that batch) Although it turned out NOT to be a intermedia., it did however turn out to be a killer Tem!
