So much for my grand plan.

Was planning on stocking my 215 gal planted with apistogramma and tetra.
Realised I would miss ca cichlids to much so reserved a trio of Herichthys carpintis Rio Verde, 6 inch male two 4 inch females.

Sounds as though you made the right choice!

when will they be in their new home? I'm looking forward to seeing them with a huge cloud of fry

I have the same problem Dan. I like SA cichlids, but just can't leave the CAs.
Great choice in stocking, looking forward to pics.

Carpintis are lovely looking fish,look forward to some pictures.
Can't you spoil yourself with another tank for the dwarfs?

Would love to but forgot how much clutter babies come with, need a bigger house

Same here. I have a 3YO, and 1500sqft. Plus basement is not enough for another tank.

I can relate to that.
It's been quite a shock to the system how much stuff they need.
