looking excellent. I truly love a natural tank setup, and urs comes very close with the plants and shade lighting.. more full tank shots please?
I've rescaped the tank. No pic's right now cause most of the wood is still floating.
 
Great idea, those fish are looking really nice. Good luck, very cool.
 
Here's a yellow fish update. vid of the Thorichthys Pasiones can be found here http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=331727

And a blurry pic of the new aquascape. Some of the wood is still floating so it's a work in progress.

The tank is really looking good Danger. What's your stock list look like these days?
Thanks. I've been thinning it out as they grow. I've had 2 deaths since setting up this tank: ebjd after a power outage, nanoluetus no idea why, all other fish from the first list that are now missing went to other tanks. I move 2 male cutteri, a white saum and bumblebee last weekend.
1 EBJD
3 Cutteri
2 Centrarchus
1 Nanoluetus
2 Rainbow cichlid
1 Firemouth
2 Oblongum
4 B. Rams
2 T Pasiones
4 convicts
1 sajca
5 HRP
1 Polleni
1 clown pleco
x? netirte snails
 
I like the new scape :) It looks really nice. Sorry to hear about your EBJD, that's such a bummer. You T. Passiones are looking gorgeous. I would love to add a few to my 150 if I already didn't have way too many fish in there.
 
I started thining the tank a bit and removed 2 large male cutteri, that freed up the others to breed (which I didn't want). The oblungum and sajica are happy about it.


Cutteri guarding their fry while sajica and oblungum pick'em off.The sajica turned brown to blend in with the wood. I've never seen her that color.

The little sajica grabs a cutteri fry, takes a beating, then enjoys her lunch. At the end of the video there's a close up of her side torn up from the cutteri hitting her. As soon as she's done chewing she'll go right back into the fire for another one, she's relentless.
