Deppii looks good, until recently it's a fish I never took much notice of,

Nice tanks, and fish selection. Do you find that the severums in the bottom tank are timid? I have some stacked setups, and always feel the fish in the lower tanks are less comfortable than they may otherwise be. I also like that stand, it looks like you have a decent amount of access to the lower tank.

Nice looking deppi. Keep an eye on them, as every group I've tried to grow out ended with a single fish. I've found them to be very aggressive to conspecifics.

Awesome tanks, how are deppii doing with the plants?
I've been want to add live plants, but worried they might try to eat them.

Thanks guys. This is the first CA cichlids I've bought in a while. Always admired them and the LFS had three for sale so i jumped on them. I'm going to add two more as they are indeed rough on each other.

thanks for the heads up. I've noticed their aggression. How do you think a 75 will work for an adult pair and how stable are their pair bonds?

The severums are indeed spooked easily on the bottom. I couldn't get a close up video because of that fact. Those severums will be sold soon as well as they are a second pair. I have the main larger pair in my other tank. This 75 is meant to be a QT tank.

I had a single Deppii probably about 10 years ago and got rid of it. Now I've been wanting 1 for years.
