Vieja Argentea

This is my 7" vieja argentea. He has been pretty reclusive since I rearranged the tank. I took a few pics last night.

Nice. How long did it take him to grow to 7 inches?

About 2 and a half years. I recently removed the other cichlids he grew up with

Tank looks nice! Can we see a front shot of it?

Bob I see his color really starting to shine through. He really looks good.

Yep. I have a complex about how slow mine are growing. I'm glad to hear others are having the same experience with the species. Well worth the wait, though.
