Just got this big fella from Aqua Imports. What a cool looking fish. He seems to be settling in well and loves Fluval Bug Bites and some different varieties of Hikari cichlid pellets.
He has a couple little sores so I dosed with Prazi just to be safe.
If anyone has some input on caring for this species I would really appreciate it, he seems to be adjusting well but I want him to really thrive.

Living in a 75 now but there is a 6x3 aquarium in his future.

Wow! That fish looks big! Good luck with it, and please keep us updated.

Cheers, Eric

It does look big! There is some information about location and habitat here, , from the look of it's teeth, I would guess its omnivorous, likely rasping plant matter off of surfaces and getting small crustaceans and insect larvae along with it, so I'd be sure to offer a varied diet, try things like sweet potato and zucchini, as well as Repashy gel foods and large pellet/wafer foods.

Good luck!

Thanks guys, yeah he's definitely got some size to him. They initially told me he was 7" minus the streamers but he's really like 10"-11" without them, lol. 15" TL. Definitely the biggest fish I've had.
Tried some fresh shrimp last night. He was loving it.
