I recently started stocking my 55 gallon cichlid tank. I currently have 2 yellow labs, 1 red zebra, and 2 others (can't remember the names off the top of my head) They range from 1.5 inches to 2.5 inches. My question is, how long does it take for them to be "full grown"? I'm feeding them Hikari Cichlid food, keeping them at 78 degrees (if any of that matters) Are we talking months? years? Thanks for your help in advance!

I would say months

A safe guess would be 6 months untill the are mature, but that doesn't mean full grown only ready to breed though by then they might be full grown as well. It really varies betweent the cichlid species.
