Thanks all! I will pass the remarks onto Tracy...she will be pleased. I talked to her earlier today and she said he/she is about 10.2 inches with the tail. I told her we would like a pic with a ruler and she told me to get over there and do it cause he scares her lol! He is really a monster to handle, I remember when she first got him, he jumped out of the tank, nailed her with the eye spine thingy (her words) and killed a Electric Yellow all in one day (he tortured it to death) ran it mercilessly around the tank until it just dropped. She told me when she decides to sell him, I get first dibs...I can't wait!
It came from one of the filthiest tank I have ever seen. No water changes in years, he just added water when it got to half empty. Algae was almost an inch thick (Tracy took the fish, we took the tank). It took 2 of us 6 hours just to get the algae off and the hard water buildup. It would have been easier to pressure wash it.
The owner only fed the fish once every week or so. There were 2 Jack Dempsays, 3 Convict Cichlids, 2 Zebra Obliquidens, 3 Electric yellows, 2 Rusty Cichlids, 2 Electric Blues, 3or4 Kenyi and the 1 Yo-Yo in a 120G tank. I was truly surprised at the size of all the fish...They were HUGE!
