New little guys for the 265g

[jiant2520]

I just bought all of these guys over the past week. I sold or gave away all of my large cichlids and decided to start over with these 1-3" little guys. Ultimately I would like to have one male of each for a total of about 8 or 9 fish... maybe less depending on aggression and what not. In this tank are 3 or 4 each of... Festae, Trimac, Green Terror, Melenurus, Amarillo, Argentea, Midas, Jaguar and Midas. Thanks for looking and I know the pics are not the best.

Thank you!!

The Jags, GT's and Festae came a local fish store... all the rest came from Dan at Cichlids of the Americas. This is day #3 for all the fish from Dan... the ones from the local store been in the tank for 1 week. A lot of the fins are torn up a bit, but I wanted to make this a progression thread to see where they were and the end result so to speak. I will update every so often. Thanks again!!

they will obviously beat each other down a little bit, but if you keep an eye on it, it should work out. wish I was closer id love to take the rejects from you as they grow!!

I look forward to seeing the progression of all these Cichlids. You've kept some exquisite fish in the past, and I'd expect you will raise these guys right. Very nice variety/stock.
