My firemouth pair spawned. Pretty fun to watch them keeping everyone away.

Getting some later this month. My favourite Cichlid.

Stunning!! They are working hard there.

Yeah I'm not sure why they moved to the middle of the tank. They did have it fairly easy off to thr right behind a big boulder.

I love these guys! One of the most underrated fish in the hobby; they've been around forever, are common and cheap, so lots of people overlook them or scorn them. But they are one of the best cichlids for beginners, as they remain reasonable in size, display beautiful form and colour, breed easily, and demonstrate all the intelligence and interesting breeding behaviour as their more exotic cousins. Yours look great!

I haven't had any in years, always seem to fill my available tank space with something else, but one of these days...
