Why we pay BIG $ for Cichla! (kelberi Araguaia)

[prskiller]

Your kel looks good, how big is it now? Just curious as to how many inches it grew in 4 mos.

Damn! Beautiful kelberi! Where is this araguaia from? Discus Origins?

Yes- this fish came from Discus Origins.

It is about 8" now. So I guess it grew a little faster than the 1"/month rule. It might be 9". It started in a 75 gallon & now is in a 420. I think the large tank must help.

Yeah- & of course we got to give credit to genetics... Although here is one from the same batch. Nice looking but not like the first one... yet!:
