Nice. Pretty fishes but what surprised me is that there is ~ no damage on anyone. These cichlids can't all be mellow, can they? How do you mitigate aggression? Lovely job anyway.

For the most part they are, but when I had them separated, the Black Belt ruled the tank, he bred with a Syn and Fen, soon as I took one out, he started with another female. I had to take the 210 down for now so I moved everyone over to the 265 for the time being, including the Tire Tracks, so far they have been well for a couple weeks now.

This is also just temporary, this week the floor is being installed in the basement, soon as that is done the other 265 and 210 will be brought down and setup and the fish separated.

I see. Thanks. Let us know please how the relative tranquility evolves, if any, for the time they are together.
