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.

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!!
 
I had a crazy large aggressive 265gallon a few years ago. Notice I said had! A lot of the same fish on your list too

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!!

Id gladly give you some too!! I'm not too sure any of the jags will stay long term... def want a festae, amarillo, gt, midas and trimac tho... I hope....
 
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.
