    Problem there is tank space . Keeping a couple of those guys without fatalities is a mission in its own right.@Michael11 , somehow seems to get things right with the fish that are supposed to kill everything' though haha. And from what I've seen @Topdog as well

    The ones I have are waaaaay smaller than those. But aggressive in feeding and healthy non the less. Outgrowing my fire mouths as one would expect haha.

    well done on breeding these guys. You really got a good spawn of strong cichlids

    advantage off keeping all till big mean you get only the biggest and strongest left, but means alot of the weaker guys die along the way.
    Makes me scared to try breed thou with the hard work you and your mom put in raising these guys and then no market for them

    Mark I'm sorry I'm lazy with my inbox never know what's new and old messages as I visit the site with my phone. I never managed to ship to cot, thinks fell through with the guy. Nut as for all of you looking for some I have the best few left, and will look at selling some of them over the next few weeks. So watch this space. Thanks for all the responses.
