EFex inspired me to get some pictures of my Hoplarchus psittacus up here as well. Hopefully we will start a thread of pictures together.....progress reports and all. We shall see...anyway...here are a few pictures. First one i was trying to take a picture of my arowana, which was unsuccessfull by the way...lol...obviously....and i got a picture of a whole buncha the cichlids in there...the chocolates, psittacus and festivum.....only other species in the tank that isn't in the picture the pike cichlid. There are two other psittacus as well missing from the picture...dang...i almost got all the fish in that one picture!! LOL!!! Next picture is of my Crenicichla sveni female...:D. Shes turnin out nice!! :D Next one in sequence is my Festivum...almost wanna call him Solomon cuz he seems wise...lol....go figure. Wish i had more of them...they are pimp cichlids! After that is a crappy pic of a psittacus and my larger chocolate. After that, the psittacus!! and after those...my new pikes! :D

Thankz, right now i have them in a 125gal with two Chocolate cichlids, a Festivum cichlid, and a Silver Arowana. There are 4 psittacus in there...rangin from 3.5"(possible female) to almost 5". Three of them are almost 5"...so thats why i think the smaller one is female cuz they were all the same size when i got them. They are eating just about everything i put in the tank. I feed them New Life Spectrum, Omega One Super Veggie and Super Color, Cichlid Sticks, Sinkinng Carnivore Pellets, Cocktail shrimp, Mysis shrimp, Peas, Blood Worms, Earth Worms, and Omega One Algae Wafers that have been broken up into smaller pieces and soaked in water for about 15minutes to make them soft. Gonna be moving them all to a 300gal here pretty soon hopefully though! :D

Thank you Captain Obvious...lol...i normally take good pictures...but there are water spots for one, and the tank is VERY dark...lol...so its hard to get photos. Plus i was playing around with the camera using settings i've never used before...so i learned....and Windex doesn't take it off...HARD water spots...had to get some lime away and some other stuff..hopefully that will take it off...fingers crossed.
