This is my n'th trip to the TN aquarium, and still I can not believe how amazing the American cichlid exhibit here is. Here are a few pictures of some of the fish, for a change I have lesser pics. of the three Male Doviis in the tank :-)

You have several Midas and RDs in this single tank, many of them breeding at the same time:

OMG wow I just S*** lol. Thats what I want! I want cichlid GALORE! You know how many gallons? Fish look extremely healthy. Usually you'll see a huge Parachromis but it's got some sort of infection or somewhat grimy ( beatup) lookin but damn great specimens! I know where I am going over Christmas Vacation.
 
Thanks for sharing!
 
LOOK AT THAT SPOONBILL!! I love spoonbills but its sad their population is dropping fast. I have seen a few up here on the Wisconsin River when boats hit them and they float up on shore.
