Thanks guysssssss

The fish in picture 6 is a Trout Cichlid(Champsochromis Caruleus). He is about 5" at the moment and it just starting to colour up. Google it and you will see what they look like in full colour. Stunning fish.

Yeah, the Paratilapia Polleni is one of the only cichlids from Madagascar. I think they are pretty rare over there now. Not often seen about so I had to have him when I saw him. Apparently someone brought him as a Malawi and put them in with his Malawis and he killed nearly all of them. So hes on his own at the moment!

Thanks Nick, the one in the first pic is pushing 12" and the second one is 13". Both very big boys.

Big boys but also a healthy investment

They are selling two of about that size in Maidenhead's near to where I live and they are up for £140 each

Great looking fish mate

For mine, 3 were £130each, 2 £110each and one was £70. But worth every penny in my opinion. Hopefully I can get them to breed then I will keep a few to add to the group and sell on all the rest. Grow them about 2" and £25 each or 5 for £100 sounds quite reasonable.
