Here are some pics of my Cichla (Monos I think) taken from camera phone. They are about 4" now. Also thinking of getting rid of the artificial plant and adding more natural plants (I have one hydrilla there right now).
Here is an update of my pBass. After about 4 weeks. Changed the background to black. They are very dark now. Too dark maybe?? The size is just short of 5".
The water temp is about 80-84F. I do water change twice a week. About 50% each time.
There is an 8" Silver Aro, 5" flagtail and a 12" fire Eel in there. I have seen aggression only among the pBass.
