Couldnt get them to stay still. They just got some finely chopped shrimp with hikari micro bits mixed up in it, so they were pretty excited

This is good. Maybe better in CA/SA cichlids.

Your cichlids and tank look great!

Management can do it if you ask.

Welcome to the forum!
I love Texas cichlids, I had one for a short time but it definitely had the best personality out of all my cichlids but my parrot.

Much appreciated Deadeye! They have most definitely got some personality my favorite fish I've kept so far, this is my first go at bigger cichlids really happy with them kept mainly sunfish species before mostly greens really awesome fish as well. Ive always wanted a blood parrot , it's on my one day list with several other species... you all know how this hobby goes cant just have one tank ?

I'll have updates on the cichlids when I get off work today or tomorrow. Spoiler alert the biggest has went crazy lol bullying worse than ever. 2 of the 6 haven't grown much at all think that had something to do with it. Biggest one turned black and blue spots got really bright when it was hanging around with 2nd biggest one didn't get a pic before it changed color tho
