Talapia Buttikoferi

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Here is my Butti. 14", 7cm thick across the head, banged the glass non-stop when anyone went near the tank.He was in a 140 gallon alone. In his new tank (in a 270 display within a garden centre) he has already badly beaten a large syspilum and killed a 11" dovii, plus a 20" TSN - despite my warnings. The only thing with him now is a large Plec (in the corner usually).He is now 16" and leaps 2-3" out the water when getting food and also it the guy puts his hand above HIS tank. Will try to get a movie of it and upload. I don't think there is much a big butti would hesitate in taking on. Real personality.

I always thought they were SA. I learned again.

2 foot long oscars??? Id love to see the pics of the fish

I do believe he means 2 oscars that are a foot long each. It is a bit confusing . . . . :ROFL:
 
MEAN fish do not get them unless you want a tank of just one fish. they get mean REALLY mean they are the most aggressive cichlid by far.
