I slightly rearranged the tank today and added two more large terracotta pots for two reasons - to break line of site and to make space for growing cichlids. The aggression in the tank has been escalating because the fish are growing and cannot hide in places they could before. Pics to follow soon.

That Jag has some deep colours to him, nice!

Thanks! He definitely does have some really great blue coloring. I'm hoping the spotted pattern becomes more pronounced as he grows.

Looks like your fish are healthy and eating well.... what are you feeding them anyway?

I feed krill, market shrimp, different flakes, and pellets. Sometimes I will throw some crickets in the mix. I don't feed one particular food all the time. I have found that variety is important over the years. Sometimes Jags (and Parachromis in general) get a little selective as to what they want to eat, but I believe the constant rotation suppresses this as much as possible.

You have good practice to feed variety and that's a nice variety that you're feeding... I also give a variety ...Mine eat mysis shrimp, bloodworms, market shrimp ,cut tilapia ,freeze dried shrimp meal worms and crickets ,carnasticks and ,massivore. My larger Rtm won't eat massivore though...and for some reason none of my fish eat krill... I agree on rotating the food so they don't get fixed on one....
