those 2 last fish look like convict cichlids, if u have a male n female they most likely will pair up n breed like crazy, i once had a pair and ended up with 500000000 offsprings but now i only have the father of the convictsBlaker;2001937; said:

You guys kill me.
The last picture is indeed an Acara ('Aequidens' pulcher)
Not a nasty fish at all.
It is NOT a Jack Dempsey.

The second to last picture is a Convict (Archocentrus nigrofasciatus)
It's a male.

The fish pictured above the convict looks to be a Bumble bee Cichlid (pseudotropheus Crabro) and is an african cichlid. Males are black and blue, females are yellow and brown stripped, like a bumble bee, hence the name.

It's indeed a nice sized tank. If I were you (and I'm not) I'd just keep taking in wayward fish. But then again that's what I do
Good luck, and stay away from the large predators like TSN or RTC or that's all you'll have left in the tank. Rays would be nice but I don't think you feel like having all the substrate changed to sand do you? Just keep rescueing, it'll be more rewarding and it'll show your clients that you care
If you have any further questions feel free to pm me.

100%I cant stop thinking about this tank haha the possibilities are endless, but I think you made a good choice.
I love the tank. I think maybe a couple more Oscars in there would be perfect.
personally i would have planted it heavy with Jungle Val. and add about 100 or cardinals and watch them school in the tank.
that or a school of 50 RBP.
but fish keeping is all about what you want!

It's an acara, not a dempsey. Looks like a pulcher, but could be a hybrid within the "aquedins" circle. Definitely not a dempsey though.
