I'm from Guatemala, and I think your work is near of any places where firemouths live in nature.

Congrats

A really nice job of recreating a typical CA biotope. You will have some 'happy' fish in there!!

I Love it! Firemouths are one of my favorite fish. I wanted to do something similar I currently have about 35 that are 4 months. have any of yours breed yet. Mine went psycho after breeding. They were so calm and peacefull before breeding but i had to separate them because they were terrorizing my tank. I wonder if yours behave the same when breeding since you have a group of them.

The parents are currently in the classified section because they turned into terrors.
