Couple of photos - they’re getting bigger.
I’ve hit the point now where the care is basically the same. Feed once or twice a day, skip food on Sunday’s. Water changes once, sometimes twice a week. And I just sit and watch them.
In terms of behaviour, Homer is undisputed tank boss. The two smallest are at the bottom of the pecking order. But not really much aggression. They sleep in the caves at night - so sometimes I come in to feed them in the morning and it takes some time for them to wake up. But never a problem.
August will be two years with these guys.

Looking good mate.
The grow out process is like watching paint dry or molasses drip.
My 15 are doing well, definitely more active as a group in the 125gal than they were in the 500gal. Still, pretty fish, but definitely not the most exciting.
I find it very difficult to get the right balance. My Malawi predator tank was stressful. Always some carnage or skinny stressed fish hanging up in the corner.
The AUL tank is interesting, and has decent movement w the clown loaches, bala sharks and red head topajos.
I’ve kept fish for 43 years. I think I’m going thru a piscatorial mid life crisis

I enjoyed mine so much. I had to sell mine , had to move . I liked that they were peaceful, large and the blues were nice change from all the reds and yellows of most cichlids
If I had to argue for another big tank, I’m not sure what I’d use it for - I like the idea of a parachromis. Maybe a jag or something. I’ll probably never have big enough for a Dovii.Looking good mate.

Or maybe I’ll get a smaller tank and stick with the Tanganyika theme - maybe a small mixed Tanganyika tank with Shelly’s and other small guys.
Or maybe I go bigger and aim for a 8 foot long 300 gallon and go for something else massive - maybe a crazy freshwater eel or something.
Always much to consider!
