Paratilapia polleni

Hi all

I realised that I don't often share what's going on my side of things, although a lot of what I'm doing right now are breeding projects so I'm waiting for results before posting those.

I've had this P. polleni for a few months now, and despite relatively slow growth (as expected), he/she has bulked out a bit. Still a very moody fish, but personality wise reminds me a little of an Oscar. Hopefully I can get more of this fish; the only other one I have seen was sharing the tank at the LFS, and my one was tearing the other to shreds. I figured it must have been due to them both being males. One day I'll try add a female, if I can find one.

Apologies for the picture quality - this is a dark fish in a dark tank with a dark background, so getting a good shot is tricky. Pictures are a progression of growth:

 

looking good
such cool fish
good luck

 

They are very nice @SalmonAfrica

Good luck, hope you find him a girlfriend soon
