Thanks! Your flagtail is very nice, looks to be a differnet species than my taenerus. I think you have an insignus... (spelling may be wrong)
Mind if I create a thread like this, so I can just post all my updates in there?

Awesome flag cichla dude.

12 Volt, what's your plan for him? He going in with the lemons when big enough? I find my flag isn't a pushy eater; they tend to be quite slow and deliberate. They are smooth operators! (they can eat a good bit of algae too).

depends on how well he does. Flagtails are one fish that I have not had success in growing huge. the biggest one I have ever grown up only reached about 7". still okay for the 65g.

if in time he does outgrow that tank, then yes, he could live in the 150g.

i have one question though, how big do flag tails normally get?

They say the max size for one is 12"s but I have seen one in a fish store that was bigger than that, I think I heard they can reach 16" if properly taken care of in a large aquarium.

Taeneurs around 12'', insignus around 16''
