DUDE! HOW DOES EVERYONE KEEP GETTING THESE NICE MALES AT RANDOM????!!!! Do you know how many females I have ended up with over the years??? Nice one, Bro. Hikari BioGold+ is total win too. I use it too

I knew this fella was a male as soon as I saw him at the lfs. He was in a tank with about 10 others and was already showing awesome body colour and a real thick tail band although he was one of the smallest in the tank I didn't care coz he just looked so much better than the rest and was chasing all of the others. I think they must have just come from really nice looking parents. Yep love me hikari foods don't really bother feeding him anything else as he hates most other brands. Cheers for the comment mate much appreciated.

Thanks mate, I'm actually really glad I started this thread because it seemed like he wasn't growing at all but looking back on all these pics I can actually notice he has grown a fair bit in a year lol. My only complaint with him is this wonky first ray on his dorsal fin, I am very picky with my cichlids tho lol I just try to ignore it haha

Been ages since I've been on here as I haven't had internet access for a long time. Thought id better finally post an update. My boy isn't looking too bad these days considering he developed hex last year when I introduced a couple of new fish without quarantining them properly( terrible rookie mistake I know). He didn't eat for over 3 months and was knocking on deaths door, but I managed to save him with forced feedings of metro/prazi and Epsom salt treatment which I read about on here. It slowed his growth down a fair bit but last few months he has really improved. Needless to say I will never again risk adding cichlid tank mates with him again. Have just purchased him a 125 gallon which he will go into when we move into our new place in a couple of months.

That's a fine looking GT Hopefully mine turns out to be a stunner like that.

Thanks mate. Yours looks a hell of a lot like mine at the same size. Nothin beats a quality Gt IMO.
