Thanks! Much appreciated. Took a bit of rock hunting to find the ones I like most. I love my argentea!

Any idea who the culprit was that ate the BA Tetras?

I am 90% sure it was my Crenicichla Sveni who was about 4.5". He lunged at them a lot.

My chocolate seems to be a slow grower despite eating voraciously. He also gets chased a bit by my Nic who is about an inch bigger. Could get rid of the Nic instead. Not sure how my stocklist will change over time

Update!

Update:

Leftover Stock:
1x Vieja Argentea ~9-10"
1x Female Hypsophrys Nicaraguensis ~7"
8x Silver Dollars ~4" ( think about 4")
1x Crenicichla Sveni ~6"

Additions:
12" polypterus ornatipinnis Probably nearly 12" now, got it at 9".
4" Rhino Pleco
3" Paraneetroplus synspilus (I think is the latest name)
5" Herichthys Pearsi

Stock Deletions:
The chocolate Cichlid cut himself something nasty when he jumped and hit the lid or corner. Hospitalized him, but he died in two days.
The salvini was getting beat up by the Sveni pike, and is in the hospital tank.
The Hoplarchus psittacus was great, but a bit shy. One day the Argentea didn't like him and killed him (or atleast within minutes of death) The day before the True parrot was showing some of the best colors I had seen it have.
