I was very nervous when i introduced the rays. I put the ugliest ray in first during a big water change and some landscaping changes. The cichla were not happy...they picked on her for a little bit and the orino kept going after her eyes
I was sooo nervous! I was tempted to pull her out of the tank but i decided to turn off the lights and hope for the best. Came back a few hours later and all was calm in the tank. Now everyone seems to get a long great. the orinos colors are completely restored but I'm happy to say he's no longer wesley snipes. He's lighted up dramatically and he should be back to his old self in no time!The kelberi's hump seem to get bigger and bigger with each water change! it's crazy!

Here are some pix after feeding. sorry. lots of floating crap.
Group shot
The Kelberi (might just be in my head that the bump is getting bigger)
The orino is getting his color back and is acting weird. he guards this area of the tank almost all day. the only fish he lets get in this area are the rays.
Another shot of the azul
Need to pick up a new pleco. they murdered the last one and the algae is started to get out of control....
