OK well that is going to be hard to beat. If this was a contest you win

So the biggest male in there is how old? What size brought is he?

What size tank? How is the aggression in there with the group?

I bought these at around 50mm in size approximately two and a half years ago.The male is around 9 to 10 inches (I've not measured them,that's just a guess)and the 5 females are between 5 and 6 inches.
The males mates with all the females in turn.
Aggression is quite low between the group.The females have the odd squabble but nothing serious. Their tank was 7x2x2.
I gave all these fish to my dad a few months back but I do miss them.
Great species to keep.
 
I had a group of thorichthys helleri in a smaller tank.I put those in there and some veija melanura.
 
Here are some of mine over the years. My first cichlid is the biggest GT in the pics. He grew to 10 1/2 inches before he passed. This guy goes to show genetics are everything with GTs. Good water quality + food isn't going to turn a mediocre GT into something special.

They are hard to find nice ones in my area. The last three are my current grow outs.

One of your grow out looks really oddly shaped. But the one above it looks really good and even the last pic too.

For me shape is more important than color. I find some GT's have great color but their bodies don't look right.
