sorry...maybe a little to much Heineken

i believe dmacks cichla were in a 6x4wide if can remember correctly but like you said id go with the 6x2 bare minimum if not a little wider...

I remember diselmacks were pushing 2' fish and it was a 6x4x2

Doing it in a 4x2x2 is just cruel.

yeah his cichla were in a 6x4 but not his breeding pair. lewis was referrings to his breeding tank with the pair of orinos which is only 2 feet wide..

DMacks orinos where not in any of those

Here are the answers to I think most of your questions

AGE(they are approx 3 yrs old) and collection point(depends on which river system they come from)as cichla vary in coloration ect depending on the system/location they are collected from. I have raised these since the were just 2"....they have only gotten really blue over the past 6 months,before then they were black finned with some blue in them.

of the fry? about as big as a pencil tip..lol ,but if your refering to the parents around 24" maybe bigger but I like to estimate on the low side.

I moved them from the big tank down to a 7ftx2ftx3ft tank all to themselves
