The Cichla orinocensis are really cool looking fish, any pics you can post?

I got one Pacu around 30ish inches. It's not quite 3 feet yet, but he's getting there. There's a few koi that size too, but they all have a home to go to come spring.

So long as you like 'em it's all good CW. Smile

At least you don't get funny looks from people about 'em.

I'm there w/ Celtic seeing how I started my cichlid collection in October.No body is full grown yet.
I'd have to say my Oscars at 8" including their tails, then my Venustus and Bala shark,with the female Jack, and Peacock right behind them.

I had a 13" common pleco who outgrew my 65g, and was donated to someone in the local aquarium club who was looking for one for his 330g tank.
Now my biggest fish are my 8" weather loaches, closely followed by my 5-7" comets.
Other than that, I have small tetras and danios...
