What kind of lighting are you using in the most recent FTS?

Also, do you ever see any aggression between some of the fish?

How did the Laetacara handle the other cichlids back when you had him?

I have 1 30W Philips Aquarelle
1 30W Sylvania Aquastar
1 20W Hagen Life-glo (located to the leftmost)

There were agression when the convict grew and especially after he paired with the nic. He was a boisterous relentless bastard, full of energy and character. He was making those sajicas life miserable, so he had to go. Now sometimes female sajica and the nic face off but there is rarely any physical contact. Rainbow is a very timid cichlid, never causes a problem.

He/she was very timid. It got chased now and then but I didnt observe any real stress. It and the keyhole used to square off each other

The pictures are incredible, I love the one with natural sunlight.
