A shot of my chancho cichlid. Been a year since I got him and he’s at 10” length now. Putting on some size. He’s murdered 3 chancho females but leaves everyone else alone.

He hates female cichlids lol he chases the females to their hiding spots. He’s actually chill with the smaller fish and ignores the silver dollars. He lets my 10” mota cruise the tank with him.
Nice! Have wanted one ,yours looks great!...Here is my Gold Barred Citrinellus that has been accused of being a Chancho 
Right. It’s cool to see them with other cichlids and fish getting along. Minor chasing but nothing crazy. I make sure he’s well fed and he’s been a good brute so far.
I can see why he be confused. How big is your Midas? He’s a stunnerNice! Have wanted one ,yours looks great!...Here is my Gold Barred Citrinellus that has been accused of being a Chancho

Thanks! I measured him at the beginning of August when I moved him from tank to tank and he was 13.5" on the nose ..... When I compare pictures when he was in his previous tank to pics now he looks bigger so he could be 13.75 maybe pushing close to 14 now.....biggest midas species I ever had was 14.5..... Which would be of course behind a full grown chancho if they can get 16 plus...... Here's best of luck getting your guy to the maximum size.......
