Very nice :)
 
Here is another update. I just noticed how the two I bought from the second batch are more darker than the other four from the first batch. Interesting.

yeah my guy from the second batch turns a dark purple and gets a blue chin... wierd but your guys are looking great! how big now? can you see any good development coming about?

as soon as i get my new lights, i'm going to take some updates.
 
What kind of lights are you looking at Pete? I'm looking to hang a 4' fixture above my 180g, but can't decide what I want exactly.

BTW, anyone else notice how the Rapps Kelberi seem to have 2 bars closer together? I find it a little strange that sometimes the front 2 bars are closer, and other times the last 2 are closer. I wonder if that's something worth noting?

i run t5s.... my bigger kelberi splashed alot of water up into the lights when i was feeding him krill and shorted out my tek t5 fixture so i am ordering another t5 fixture but a cheaper one this time and somewhat water proof. t5s are the brightest and you can buy bulbs in a wide color spectrum.

close bars are a characteristic of cichla sp. kelberis.. take a close look at this video
