Tomocichla Sieboldi Pair

[NorCaliCichlids]

I've heard more like 8-10". I've never seen one more than 6".

Am i right in believing that these can grow to 10"-12"?

I got mine at about 3.5" in September 2009 right now he is pushing maybe 4.5" very slow growing

 

[NorCaliCichlids]

Aqualog says 20cm so I'd say around 10".

These are the first Tomocichla that ive ever kept.
Gotta say, im really warming to this genus. If the other species Asfraci and Tuba, are as active and charasmatic as these, then i'll be getting some of those as soon as theyre available

The female is sooooo ready!! but my male shows no interest in her whatsoever I would love to have a tank free to put these two in.... i think without distraction the male would comply.
Heres some updated shots of the female in her breeding dress.

I have 3 Asfraci including a breeding pair. They are not as aggro as Tuba and Sieboldi. They do grow larger though. IMO, one of the best looking CA's there is.
