Hey all anyone have any experiance with Sarotherodan Mossambicuss? Also is oreochromis mossambicuss the same fish? My LFS has a trio that are six inches for $59. The owner says that is as big as they will get. Will a 90 be good enough for a trio? Also what would be their temperment breeding? One of the females is holding and they are in with a bunch of other Africans.
 
yes same fish, i keep mine in a 500 gallon pond, males get about 16 inches females around 12.....
 
O.k. thanks I guess the owner knows not what he speaks of and I willl not be getting them due to their large size.
 
I love those fish and haven't seen them locally in over ten years. I used to see them all the time and owned many, they were bulletproof as far as cichlids go, and my biggest was 13 inches when I traded him.
