The World’s Largest Cichlid| GROWTH RATE for 3½ YEARS

Cichla Temensis is the largest growing species of cichlid in the world! I purchased my individual at the start of 2020 and today, 3 years and 6 months later and he’s an absolute tank at around 28 inches long! These fish are monstrous and majestic, but considering their large size they require extra-large aquariums to sustain them. The Cichla Temensis peacock bass can be bought at a relatively cheap price, however for long term care these fish can be expensive to feed and house, also their habitat requires diligent maintenance to keep the fish healthy. Before seeking to obtain one, be sure that you are able and willing to provide the necessary care for your Temensis peacock bass to thrive.
