With much debate I have decided to take a break from American cichlids and for the 1st time in my fish keeping life no longer have any. Instead I have decided to make use of the tank size and go for one of our natives here. A true Aussie freshwater king and predator. The Murray Cod (Maccullochella peelii)
This image was taken by the seller when I purchased him on the 8th of Dec 2011.
Just 3.5 months later and it has grown considerably. It is still quite shy so it was really hard to get a decent pic of it yet but that will come.
For those unfamiliar with the species, here's a little insight into their size and beauty.
