whats your future plans for the fish man? what sorta setup would you need to house a small group of temensis? IM assuming they would be best suited to a pond? i have never seen a 4ft wide tank... and assuming 1m is 3ft you would want that extra 1ft of wide for them to manouvere in....

Nice Fish guys
check out a few peruviun sites to see more Pbass, i personally like the Orinoco varients though most are stunning

Hi all,

Check this link out.

http://www.worlddisc...a/specific.html

Found this while surfing MFK forum.

A good site for info on variants and geographical origin of the different types of Cichla sp.

Enjoy.
