Either way, pic update was great! Nice to see Croc and the Koliba doing their thing!

So much to comment on!

Your weeksii cracks me up. And also loving the cichlid updates, too. Thanks to jaws and you, I am really interested in hets in the future.

Your snook is sparkly!

I am in love with this Pearsei, Het, and Poly combination you guys have got going on. Are the Pearsei and Hets found together in nature?

Thanks, been a great combo since pearsei and hets are so easy going for a cichlid

Not sure if the two are found together, seems close from the links

Thanks for the information sir, appreciate it. Do you think I could potentially do what you're doing on a smaller scale, say a 210 for instance? Or would the Pearsei be too much for a tank that size?

My pearsi was in a 210g before the new 300g. Had no issues with it. The 24" wide tank is the key. 18" wide might be a bit tight for a full grown one.

Mine is in a 150 18inch wide and no where near mature and i think he makes it look small. He'll be upgrading to a 300 in a couple of weeks but if i had to choose a tank for like sometjing 24 inches wide would be my choice.

kewpiefishypewpie , it really is hard to explain how large pearsei really are. They are very tall bodied and they are thick. My Porkchop is 14" long but easily 4" wide. I have not measured her height.
