[MultispeciesTamer]

I know ill get alot of mixxed answers but iam i right or wrong when i say the average size for an adult ocellaris aka butterfly pbass is 12-18 inchs?

id say 18-24" mainly on the 24" mark..... now, kelberis and intermedias get around 18", if not smaller

i might have to get a kelberi then next spring a small one

trust me they are the best for people who love cichla but cannot upgrade to a monster tank.... i've heard that kelberis can live in a 125for a long time.. if not life.

in my opinion, the cichla i've been waiting for (too bad rapps sold out right when i find a LFS that orders from him)

Occelaris grow atleast 20-24".

yeah thats max size not average adult size

I'd say average ocell size would be 18-24", if you only have a 125gal then kelberi or intermedia would be better suited to you..

yeah but the only way iam going to get a kelberi is if rapps gets in the small 2 inchers again next year for 35 cuz thats the most ill spend other wise ill have to settle for ocellaris

20-24" is average size. Looks like you'll have to settle for neither then...
