Show me your older Cichlids!

[Cichlids keeper]

I am interested in the affects of aging on Cichlids. If you have a Cichlid that is about about 3/4 through its lifespan please show me. This also includes hybrids and African Cichlids but there is no section for Cichlids in general so I posted it here.

This was my almost 11 year old King Kong parrot I had when he past away. His name was parthonax and he was roughly 12in and 3lbs when he past of old age.

Bumping this. Nobody else? I'm really interested in seeing some older cichlids too.

Yeah he definitely was a beast. Lol he was always headbutting my 14in Jack Dempsey. Wish I had a pic of him as well but I couldn't find one sadly, he was also the same age but he died of a mistake I made. His name was Alduin. Lol 10 point to whoever knows what game I got their names from.

Hahaha good man good man. Lol only fish I got left with a Skyrim name is my convict Cichlid (lokir), he's roughly 4 years old and about 5in. Got him from Petco for ¢25 as a lil pea sized baby along with his brother who he ate. He'll eventually be going home with a buddy of mine to live out the rest of his days with someone that still loves him.

My foot long 6 year old black belt. He's still going strong. He's still got a lot of years left in him but thought I'd post anyway.

Very nice looking. Almost reminds me of a adult veija with how his body looks. Also love how his dorsal fin looks too.

That would be because he is a vieja!
Very nice blackbelt
I've had a bunch of fish that were probably old, but I got them as adults so couldn't tell you how old exactly.
This female johanna pike I had was the biggest I've ever seen. She was 14" if I remember correctly. Had to be up there in age. Wish I knew exactly.
