Cichla!

My dimly lit tank is damn near impossible to get any good photos out of so I tend to avoid it, but I've been getting a bunch of PMs asking for updates, so here you are!

The whole tank, from the couch

New temensis in the clear with a blurry bunch

Man I wish I could keep some cichla! Nice tank man, even though they're hard to photograph, a well setup dimly lit tank looks hardcore IMHO.

Rob-that's my biggest O up front. He's probably 9-10" and is covered in spangling 100% from the gills back. I'm completely blown away by him every time I glance into the tank. Can't wait until these guys hit 16"+ and start to pair off!

Agreed. I'll probably button down and buy an overhead flash/lighting setup for the sake of pictures. I hate to sound cliche, but pics do these fish ZERO justice. I'm extending an open invite to anyone that wants to swing by my crib and give photographing these guys a shot. I'd love to give these guys a fair shake!
