Lets see some updated pics of this beast!
This is when I brought the trio over to the hatchery & put in a 240 gal 4x4x2 tank. When in my 350 gal they ate about $1000 in cichlids the first year. They went from about 3" to 18" the first year.
They ate some 10" male fronts, a shell dweller & still dont know how?
Long story short the male about killed the females & had 3 big fish in 3 big tanks. So I sold a pair. I have Birtha which is pushing maybe 28"? She has killed a 3 foot catfish, Big Red devil in minutes, 1-2 julies that hid behind filter but somehow these fish get what they want! She is like a pet dog in the store & some people are scared to come by the tank because she chases them!
I will try to get a pic of her Monday when I m back in the store.
She also Took a first place & the memorial trophy at a show a couple years ago. She was also in Tropical Fish hobbyist magazine maybe two years ago now?
Oh and she bites the hand that feeds & draws blood!
She is now about 10 years old.
