My SA/CA cichlid community tank

[ptadam22]

This is my 5' aquarium that I have had up and running for half a year now. Have gone through some different fish during this time, but this is what I currently have. If you guys could help give me actual names of these guys that would be great! Found the tank for real cheap so there are some minor scratches that the camera seems to accentuate. I have learned a ton of information since beginning, especially how hard it is to grow live plants and how much I suck at it.

Thanks guys. I forgot to add I have various corydoras I just added running around on the bottom, as well as an 8" black ghost knife that's in the cave to the right.

10 is a threadfin, I would like to know how big and if it schools with your other geo's.

16 I'm not sure but it almost looks like a small trimac maybe.

 

[Younglin]

The thread fin was originally in the gro group but was moved. I think it should still be a geo.

With all those eartheaters, you should probably switch to a sand substrate. Would be aggregating, but for the best.
