My 135 cichlid community!!

[tooth517]

Here are some shots of my juvie cichlids and dithers in my 135 gallon. I know it's overstocked and they will be divided up when I feel some of them need to be so don't jump all over me for it. I have a 160, 90, and 75 gal empty and waiting to be setup. The gt is the boss and the devil seems to be the most agressive, but overall they are getting along fine.
Stocklist:
2x Tinfoil barbs (frickin hogs)
5x Giant Danios
3x Convicts (2fem, 1male)
1x GT
1x Cyano tex
1x Red devil
1x Mayan
1x cutteri
1x synspylum
1x managuense (wouldn't go uder the light for a good pic)
Feedback is welcome so let me know what you think.

Actually, most are probably jealous of such a well-rounded stock list. And that massive piece of driftwood is amazing. On a specimen by specimen basis, your fish are somewhat young (except for that beautiful GT), so it's hard to say they are nice-looking, but they are very healthy-looking. I look forward to seeing this tank again in a year.

The gt was smaller than the devil when I got it and the devil almost killed it. It has scars/ missing scales still from it. It's more than twice the size of the devil now and the devil respects that!

I'm surprised the devil didn't finish the job. Nice mingle-work for now. Many potentially murderous fish there. Could become a chore to keep the peace. But a fun chore.

I separated them just in time. Melafix and pimafix brought it back to health. Lost a really nice synspylum to those two. The one in the pic above is the second one I bought. The first one was much nicer looking. As far as aggression goes, if it gets too violent I have extra tanks and egg crate! I know as the fish grow and the tank shrinks I'll have to rehome a few of these so I have been buying supplies a little at a a time.

Thanks for all the comments!

Thanks! The gt is really starting to look good. I'm not sure if my "devil" is actually a devil or hybrid devil x midas, but thus far it looks much more like a devil due to it's somewhat large lips and face/head shape. It used to be in a 20 gal long and I just recently introduced it to this community and it is much happier, and healthier. It went from a pale yellow and thin body to what is pictured above. It is much less skittish also. All the fish get excited when anyone comes near the tank in hopes of getting fed!
