ummm fry only takes about a month to reach .5 inch in which is the time I bought mine and have only had mine for 7 months. That is still incredibly slow growing, so slow in fact that I don't believe its even been 1.5 years.

Forgive me if I don't know the correct name of the fish I had, but my vote for mixing Cichlids is definitely NO. I learned my lesson by doing that. I originally had Gold Severums, Firemouths, Jewels. Everything was great so I added a Malawi type. Things were still great. I thought - screw the people that say it won't work because it IS! Soooo... I added another one and the war zone began. I replaced the casualties with Kribs and another Malawi type. Oh boy! They started pissing me off when they went after my severums. I got rid of all the culprits and was left with my Gold Severums, which I adored. It was devastating. Even my plecos were gutted. Each day was a massacre. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND MIXING CICHLIDS! I was stupid not to listen to people advising against it. I had no clue. I'm sure my tank was probably overcrowded too. Just to make matters worse. If you go for it, all I have to say is good luck and don't be disappointed if they start roughing each other up. I can guarantee that you're tank will be better off than mine due to the simple fact that you're educating yourself PRIOR. Good for you!
OK im trying to keep the flaming to a minimum but cooome on man lol....your post is totally invalid to make on here. he's asking to be educated not mislead. 2 jacks and an mbuna in A 29 GALLON!!! That tank is going to be a damn breeding grounds for hell spawn before too long at all. I advise you guys do something before you are left with one of those fish and you aren't able to make the decision as to which one.
Understandable, I know you are just speaking of an experience, just next time let us know the full details instead of just saying they can live peacefully
they fight ab it.. but generally they are fine..
I told him to throw in a bumblee for some real fun
