Here is and update of my Ex-cichlasoma Festae colony that im growing out. i currently have 6-F0 and 6-F1 sizes 2.5-4.5" housed in a 180 with a few clown loaches and a pleco. Today i re-scaped the tank pulling alot of decor out and going with clay pots and driftwood. trying to open up the tank some more and also giving them places to hide and possibly spawn. In this video you can see the three largest males hanging out together and if you look close enough you'll see a few females that are already showing some color:grinno: I also re-introduced two large males to the community after pulling them a month ago. Im hoping now that since most of them are over 3.5" ill see signs of pairing. I hope i dont bore you guys since this video is a lil longer due to some clips that were a minute long instead of my usual 30 sec or so.

Looking good their siblings are doing well,will post pics of them alittle later.
 
Your video bored the hell out of me after I watched it a bunch of times LOL...That set up is to die for the fish are gorgeous and active. Knowing your track record they'll pair and spawn by mid-week.
