These are some shots I took while having myself a pint of newcastle. Just some random threat displays here and there. No fish were hurt. There were a few tussles but no damage done. I really like how CA cichlids (most) in an established community "respect" boundaries. They Flare their gills but usually won't cross over to fight.

Please feel free to post your pics. Glassbangers welcome!

Anyway here are my pics.

Thanks! Grolsch is good. I should go get a mini keg of that.

Male is an LFS pick up. I'm not sure on the female though. I got her from 1fatdovii. If he sees this thread maybe he can chime in.
 
very nice fish.. WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT MIDAS' MOUTH?
 
This isn't a face off but still an aggressive display. I always like this shot of a baby female grammy holding ground against a )v(onster male convict.
