Well these guys are 7 months now I think all are above the 2.5" mark ruler measured. They are f1 Frontosa Gibberosa "Mpimbwes". This is a mixture of batches from people all around here. mostly from Teipei22 but they are all f1s. Just letting them grow themselves. There are 27 of them in my 125 Gallon 6ftx18inchx2ft. Feeding Ken's Spirulina flakes and 2mm New Life Spectrum. Been really blue frontosas Only pale cause of my white sand. Using Reef Sun 50/50 bulb, blue background. Let me know what you guys think and things, whatI can do better and whatnots. Questions. Sorry If I don't take the best pics but this is on my iPhone.

There are others in with them as well:
3 Malawi Blue Dolphins
1juli regani
1 bonsai flowerhorn (which never seems to grow after 7 months of having it) amazing colors and fins on this guy. Only 3".
2 bumblebee catfish not goby
1 featherfin catfish
1 some kind of L-Pleco.

Yeah, they don't grow very fast. I got about 80 fries now in my tanks and the oldest ones are about 3 cm (1,18"?) and about 3 month old.
 
Well worth the wait though! Feeding them lots of spirulina as I heard it helps with the mooning and pigmentation. Also feed them guppies or platys for them to hunt. Brings out some really good color when they hunt.
