I call the sagittae and labiatus frenemies because they school often with the small xilo but then chase each other around every now and then lol, here is a shot of the frenemies

there are a few others i couldn't get a good pick of, small grammodes, trimac and lyonsi , once tank clears up some and i learn how to use this iphone camera i will try to get better pictures. i lost my digital camera long back :O

fts with night lights on, i stare at the fish for a good 30 minutes every night with the blue lights, its really relaxing

Great looking stock you decided on. My only question is the picture of the Freddy...I'm really no expert on Parachromis, but are you sure it's a Fred?
 
here are more close ups of the 'freddy', if some parachromis experts can chime in and tell me if i'm mistaken
