Well on various sites they claim the max size at 18 in. But as we all know that is usually an understatement.

It's only epic because someone is saying a Delhezi will reach up to around 2 feet.





Now, moving on... Anyone else have anything to say?


I haven't decided to get a cichlid, I just wanted to know if any would work with what I have.

Show me please. Make sure they are not talking wild sizes.

A severum, chocolate cichlid, green terror, or parrot cichlid could be a good choice.

You do realize both of those texts are exactly the same? Are you reading them or just finding sites that agree with you? Sorry, but I have spoken to people who have been keeping these for years, and they tell me i'm fine.
