t-man Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Here are some old pics of the Cubans I got from Golds. They have gotten bigger since these photos where taken. I had seven and downsized to 2 males and 3 females. Nothing has paired up yet but they will be moving from a 180 gallon to a 230 gallon in about a months time.

rudy Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) Very cool. They were always one of my favorites. To bad they take so long to grow! Here is my old one Edited September 13, 2007 by rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To bad they take so long to grow!Here is my old one Did you have a female and did it grow very slow? My females are so slow growing that they seem like they are stunted, even thought they are in a 180 gallon tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My females are so slow growing that they seem like they are stunted, even thought they are in a 180 gallon tank. No it is normal. Cubans are pretty much Pirahnas as far as growth rate. Weird for cichlids Personally I would ditch the 180 idea for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthV Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Nice looking tetracanthus! Wish we had a store like Golds out here in NB But I'm only an hour away from the US border, so I can order from Rapps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
