Added one of two planned Keyholes into the mix. Second one is coming tomorrow morning, and I'll get some better photos early afternoon and update the thread.
 
Picked up a couple of Cleithracara maronii "Keyhole Cichlids" over the last few days, they're a little beat up as they're not easy Cichlids to find but they're getting along well with the tank and should make a solid recovery. Pretty average photos, glass needs a bit of a clean (better than the previous shot of the Keyhole though)

Bigger one I picked up from Annerley Aquariums, first photo is him doing a bit of a gill flare.

Slightly smaller one.

Cruising around together, they're actually shaking and cleaning rocks so it'll be interesting to see if they'll become a true pair or not.

Decent shot I managed to snap of my Blue Acara to finish up. Cheers guys.

looking good

Man that Acara is something else! What a beauty:headbang2

Funny you say that. All of the orange tipped dorsal finned Acara's we get over here end up like that, and all of the photos I've seen of the Acara's sold in the US that people have are much more green and have washed out colouration.

For reference, here's a mates 6" Blue Acara a few months back.
