Thanks for the comments everyone!

So, I was down skiing for the weekend and came home with a few unexpected fish!
- (1) Turquoise Severm (3")
- (2) Black Banded Leporinus (8-9")
- (1) Male Jaguar Cichlid (13")
This male Jag I bought was the exact fish I saw that started me on the Jags, and now I own him! He is very placid for a Jag, and came from a tank with 1/2" Convicts so I was not worried about him eating my fish, all he will eat is pellets.
And another shot of the tank wall.
