Awesome. More commonly known as red terror aren't they?

Please don't tell me that Ryan, store down the street has a tank full of "red terrors". I am weak and out of room :)
John Young » posted 2008/03/01 - 21:35  
That would be right, Ryan but many stores sell the Mayan as a red terror
Ryan Lewis » posted 2008/03/01 - 21:40  
I never get to see guys like this and the mayan in stores around here, only full grown red terrors people give back. Big al's always has ones six to eight inches

Alex Odesit » posted 2008/03/01 - 21:51
indeed brother, he's beautiful.
What I also like about your fish, they are not overfeed, hard to do it when comes to fierce eaters like CA or SA aggressive cichlids. Good job John.

Beautiful FESTAE John i like both the male and female. I have two also. What size is he ? he looks 7-8 inches.
John Young » posted 2008/03/01 - 23:40  
Good spot,Tony he is 7-8",i'd say closer to 7 but he won't be still for the tape measure.LOL
Tony Idone » posted 2008/03/01 - 23:43  
My male is about 5.5 and what i think is a female is about 3 inches.
