Nice collection of Amph's in there. 
How big are the biggest in there and how do you avoid aggression. I'm always impressed with comm.'s like this. I can never figure out how you guys manage to dilute the aggression. Is it overstocking ? I mean there's fry in there so they can't be stressed and most of those fish have their fins intact. By the way if I didn't make it apparent, I love the tank and the stock.

Thanks everyone, I don't have a stock list handy unfortunately. I know there is an amarillo, a couple red devils, a black belt, a barred midas, a dovii, some silver dollars, some devil/amarillos, and a few others that I can't think of off the top of my head.
I'm not sure how I got so lucky with aggression, it just worked out somehow.
I guess the black belt is around 4 or 5 years old now, he was just a couple of inches when I got him. I would say he is around 13 or 14" now but that is a complete guesstimate. He is a bully but not really aggressive. He just throws his weight around a little.

Great video with an even greater collection

you must have had them for a while already can see that they are so attached to U thanks for sharing Your tank is awesome its crazy how you got all those bruisers together and don't have your hands full with aggression.
Thanks Bruce, much appreciated. It's times like this I wish I had a 300-400g so I could have Multiple Amphilophus. Jr wouldn't tolerate his little brother in the 125g unfortunantly, but does well with anything else. That BB has to be the largest I have seen as well. The Amarillo is without a doubt the biggest/nicest I have seen and the barred Midas is one of the biggest currently on MFK. This Vid is definently going up on the FB page.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I thinned the tank out a little bit yesterday. Wicked Jester came over and picked up some of the amarillo/devil's. I was suprised how much bigger they were than they looked in the tank. He also took some of the dovii fry, hopefully a few survive. If not I've got some bigger (fry) growing out for him.
Oh, I also think I talked him into trying NLS, said if my fish look like they do from eating it he's sold.
