CraigMcN Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hi, I got my lionheads about 4 months ago when they were about 2.5cm or so. They're now up to 5-6cm and spawning already. Don't know how long it'll take them to get to full size (about 10-12cm from what I've read). They should be fine with other cichlids as long as there's enough room for everyone. Mine were pretty calm fish until they started spawning, then it's the usual cichlid story, the parents took over half the tank and bullied everyone else into the far corner. I've got 5 of them in a 3 foot tank, and I don't think there'd be room for much more in the tank C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
