Nice, how big are those guys inch wise? I like the first ones, and the ones with the hump on the head. I am gonna have to down size my mbuna malawi cichlids once they get closer to full size...Did you purchase your guys as juvies and if so how long did it take for them to grow that size?
Sorry I missed your reply.
Herman the piebald is somewhere around 10".
The orange midas range in size from about 7"-5" with the two males being larger and the two females being smaller.
The Hogaboomorus are about 6.5" and 5.5". I'm hoping I have a male and female as they're the only two I have but for now there's only bickering and not much courtship going on.
The male Red Isletas is currently about 8.5" and the female about 5.5-6".
Hamilton the barred midas was just shy of 12" last I measured, right before I put him in the pond.
They all grow at a decent rate. I've obtained them all at different sizes but they all grow at about 1-1.5" a month up until they hit about 6 or 7" and start to slow down from there. I'll get about 1" every 2 or 3 months til 12" and I've yet to see how they progress from there. The Hogas were smallest when I got them. About 3/4" when I got them back in Feb.
I'll be posting some updated shots of the hogas soon. They keep getting better and better. I wish they were easier to find as they have wonderful personalities. Very playful and less aggressive than citrinellus.
