So the fish guy at my LFS has always talked about how he has a 7"+ striped raphael in his 125 cichlid tank... I've never really doubted him, but wanted proof. Well recently he cleared out his 125 (oscar, pleco, raphael, silver dollars, geophagus) and brought them to the LFS for credit... I snapped a few pics of the raphael who was hiding, but he is EASILY 8"+ and is about as wide as 20oz soda bottle.

Here's what I've got... I'll try to get a full shot tomorrow

Someone on here had a 9 incher. It's someone I know pretty well on here, so I feel like a douche for not knowing :ROFL:
 
Just donated a 6" to my favorite LFS. They were happy to take him and my 6" red tail shark. One of the employees took the shark for himself. I knew and loved that my big guys were going to a home that would love them. I plan on getting another of each for my 125. I'm hoping for a 10" raphael. :)

i got 2 that are 6" in a temp 55g until my 110 is finished. Do these cats eat smaller tetras? Im tempted to put them with my geos/keyholes with 36 sarpaes in a 150g.
 
ya tetras make GOOD raphael food,but a55 is big enough for 1 so a75 is plenty
