Look at that smile!
Had to clear out the QT system that’s been occupied by these guys for a time - got 3 cichlid pairs in -
kept one pair with most dominant male in a 40g breeder to hopefully produce-
only 1 known casualty so far - of the OG 2 - half fish and busted face - RIP busted face convict - 1/2 fish seems to be running the tank so far ?
i added 5 ceramic caves under the driftwood and baby grass for any fry -
got a mp40 on the end to clean out the driftwood
most activity this tanks ever seen ?

Your setup makes me miss mine. I ended up selling my 535g tank so am really out of the hobby. I am planning to redo that entire room and then maybe I can do another tank. I just wish I could get another aimara but I know my next tank will be much smaller and could not keep an aimara.
updates here :
seem to have a solid group of 7 - think 4 males was too many ?- 2m / 5f
one pair of cons claimed 1/2 of the 72”x30”x30” tank
seen the cons mio at the aimara’s tail and attack the sailfin pleco -
this morning mum / pop squared off over their nest ?
