CA cichlid tank (update) Load!

[nutty]

Hi guys, haven't been around for a while, work commitments, lol.

A few update photos of the fish and tank.

Everything seems to be growing nicely, and i'm happy with the arragement and fish. The new setup started around the end of October 08. Some fish have grown quickly than others, most noticeable are the T. pasionis. These are around 4" now. The V. regani are also starting to grow more, it's taken a lot longer for them. The male is around 7", female 6".

Before and after shot of the tank. You can make out some of the pasionis in the earlier tank, just to compare the size.

Great as always nutty. Fantastic finnage on the V. regani.

My only gripe perhaps with the tank is that the exC. salvini seems a little out of place with the other species - just a personal opinion.

One of the nicest tank I've seen! Love the lighting too.

How that swordtail survives in that tank is beyond me

Thankyou for the nice comments.

@ Japes: I've included salvini as you would find it in the same river systems as pearsei, hetrospila and pasionis. All are found in Laguna Noh.

I would say the only exceptions are both regani and argentea.
