i'm still making tweaks to the auto water changer, heating and mechanical filteration with this high bioload.
 
I have a 6.5" Grammode who is a killer!!! I've moved him out of my big tank twice now and currently thinking of selling him as I don't have room to take him out again. His teeth look like they belong to a shark or something. He is shredding the fins on my 10" Argentea. He never stops and he is the smallest in the tank by far... even messes with my 12-13" TSN catfish. I would not be surprised if the catfish eats his ass one day!! Now, I don't have 600g (265g) so maybe yours will be fine, I hope so and good luck.
 
Can we see some pictures of the nine incher you have in the community tank? The only 8''+ grammode I have seen on this site was CCHC's grammode. I have had grammodes and Jags (saw you said your jag was a big puppy dog) I understand every fish has its own personality but i would def keep an eye on that 9'' grammode. Ive seen numerous stories on how they can snap over night (Just like dovii). But I have def heard a lot more successful stories on keeping Jags in community tanks, thats for sure.

ditto! madness do you have pics of your big grammodes? what do they max out at?
 
Wow bud came out looking Fantastic! I can't believe how small you made that big ole piece of wood look lol. HUGE tank. I'm going to have to steal one of your FTS for my site :) Great job!
 
Madness that guy is a beast. I think you should make one huge thread with all your awsome cichlids.. You have an awsome collection...
