Me too, would have liked to keep them until the crazy adult coloration came in. May have to get more in the future if I can.Sorry to see them go. They were gorgeous.
What’s next?
As for what's next, probably nothing cichlid wise for a while. I've got a 15 gallon reef tank that is a good bit of work to keep up with, and I've got some small planted tanks going. And I still have my big panamensis.
I think next year I will move back to NJ or NYC and try to get a big tank to do centrals again.
