But she is likeing them, she wanted saltwater clowns thought (Nemo) but she is happy with those and named them Nemo and Nemo´s mom

I dunno why, but this made me laugh. Alot.

Anyways, interesting tank. Rainbow Cichlids are great fish Only thing i would have changed is i would have gone biotopic - but i guess a 4 year old probably wouldnt appreciate that.

Anyways, an update woudl be nice - have they spawned yet?

And that should be "head board" not bed post .

well allright then, here is an update

we changed rooms with our daughter and took the bed post down. But i still have the pair. Kept them in my 200G for some time but gave them a tank of their own a few weeks ago and they have spawned twice since then but they keep eating the fry...
Just waiting for them to success in raising them

spawn #1

spawn #2

I had rainbow cichlids a few years ago, and last time had a trio of f0 rainbows from Rapps that ended up dying. One of my very favorite CA cichlids...wish I had some, those in that tank remind me of what I love about that species

That was a cool setup. I've been looking at some rainbows, may have to give in.

that was unique what you did to her room, and the other small tank tucked in the corner, talk about starting them off young,,,those pictures of them breeding wow, and the fry survived on the filter?
