Thanks guy, sorry haven't been on in a while.
To answer your questions, it's a Beani haha (ex-cichlasoma I believe?? Might have changed)
I haven't taken him out and given him exact measurements but I'm guessing head to tip on tail probably between 10 and 12 inches or so.
Yes I had a really bad case of bloat a couple years ago when he hit 5 inches. Got some great help from a couple guys on here and cured him.
Igor him from Gage Brady. He was in a 180 gallon tank with 2 other Beani (1 male and 1 female, brother and sister) and he killed his brother and almost killed the sister so I gave her away. There was also a male and female umbee growing up with him and he killed the male and ALMOST paired off with the female who was bigger than him at the time. Was so stoked on that, but I came home from work one day and he had killed her. So I probably won't try to pair him off with anything anytime soon until I can get a proper breeding setup.
For some reason he hates any fish that get over a certain size other than plecos. I tried a red devil. He was fine with it until it hit 4 inches then he killed it.
He's living with 4 fancy plecos (three beacon, goldy, galaxy, royal) and a common pleco which he is completely fine with. There is also a red tail cat in the tank as well and they get along great.
Ill probably catch some heat from some of the members on here for having the RTC, but I've always wanted one and I finally had the tank space to keep one for a decent amount of time before he out grows it.
I am buying land this August and will be building a house and a custom tank to house everything. thinking Of doing an indoor pond in the garage for the RTC and some other large oddballs.
Would like to go around 500-600 gallons and hopefully house more than just the Beani in there. Would love an umbee, but I have a feeling that would never work out haha
