Trimac lovers represent

breeding can stunt growth????? I have never heard of this...

yep sure can... more so on females, but males can be affected too. that's y alot of ppl will wait till the fish is mature, before breeding it.

is there a way to tell the sex without venting, I think my trimac is a female based on its behavior come compared to the rest of my cichlids. She is currently 9 inches.

Fitznacio, yeah look at my avatar, the females have a black blotch in their dorsal fin.

 

[fitznacio]

i have 6 at about 1.5 to 2.25 inches growing out. at what size will they begin to color up? will the males grow faster and be more dominant at this size? they were all the same size when i got them.

By 3" you should start to see their colors.

With 6, you may have a dominant one kill some of the others by 3-4". Also I found out the hard way that Trimacs are sexually mature by 3".

This female is less almost 3".
