Did a large waterchange and my monocs decided to turn it on, note these are all girls, and from an older Monoc breeder in Tasmania. Biggest girl is 40cm odd.
Still waiting for mumma ray to drop her litter, must be close, getting nervous and excite.

He was sold not too long after this thread was made. I had 10 bass at the time and wanted to thin the numbers out so he was one that was cut.
I ended up keeping my largest most colourful male, that was true to 'form'.
Currently about 45cm, big bruiser of a cichlid. He lives with 4 girls. Tried to sell them a few times and had people offering me low ball prices so I've made the decision to hold onto the group of 5 and they can live out life with me. See if I can get him to the full 60cm.
I had one of the original 2 males that Midland had. He was about 60cm and the height and girth was much bigger than my boy now at 45cm.

Looking great dude, I don't doubt you'll get the full 60cm out of him. Bloody impressive fish at that size

Thanks.
The group has been pellet fed since I got them at 5cm Juvies on the 30/11/2015. I have been feeding a mixture of Otohime and Fishwerx 'gold' pellets. Only just recently have I started adding frozen food (white bait and squid) to their diet - mostly to get some bulk onto them.
Here they were when I first got them (<2 years ago).

Agreed. With the massive influx in 'adults' available you really get to see the full range of the spectrum with care for Bass. Unfortunately the majority of them look pretty rubbish. Underfed with a skinny long body with an oversized head attached. Colours are also fairly washed out - and tend to be a muddy gold colour instead of a bright yellow.
The ring of gold/yellow around the tail occeli of the male picture is crazy. If you stop to look at it, it actually plays tricks with your eyes it is that bright and vivid.
