royals

I bought alot of royals(and others)and had to build a 1200 gallon tank.

Very cool, I can't wait for mine to get bigger. Really slow growing fish

I have three royals with a couple of cichlids in 150g. Had them for about 5 years and they grow SLOW...

yes they are i have had some of these for years they grow fast when little then slow way down. I counted the other night and came up with 13 "royals" but the little ones hide so maybe off a few.

I have a bunch of driftwood and some large ceramic caves (AKA sewer pipes)... Lots of interaction but no spawning.

I haven't had any show any interest in spawning either.

Love the colour and patterns on Royals, as well as the massive head compared to the body lol; but by God these fish can s*it!

I had one against my black sand, and I kid you not after 2 days it was covered in turd; painfully visible too

You just need more flow, I used to have a real pleco poop issue until I added some powerheads and bumped up my return pump. Now it all goes into the prefilter
