yep a red tail TAT! nice I have one aswell but smaller 3-4incher

hows the aggression from the cichlids like?

Just got him today...but the cichlids didnt even notice him really. He was out all day and didnt get touched. He got nervous a bit when they were squabbling near him but nothing crazy. Also the stuff in there is pretty docile.

How big is he now? Looks to be about 9"?

Tats get around 18 inches in the wild but in captivity, we'll barely seen any over 12 inches. It's definately possible though.

How big's yours?

 

[UnstoppableJayD]

Cool...12 is what i had read thats why I wanted a tat...but i can deal with 18 if it happens. Originally i said he was 7 inches but now more realisticly 8 pushing 9.

Is there a reason they dont reach there potential in captivity?
