Well I have set up a 120 and I am going to put in CA/SA cichlids I never kept before.

EBJDs, I thought these were a hybrid for years so I never pursued them

I know what you're thinking, AN OSCAR? Yup, I have kept cichlids for over 30 years and never had an Oscar, funny eh?

True Festae, We were sure we netted a female but I am convinced she is a he. Your opinion?

Very nice!
 
the Argentea is one of my favorite cichlids. very nice.
 
bit stocked but looks great!! hopefully every one plays nice.
 
Thanks, I've grown them all up from pups. The EBJD thought he was the "King of the Tank" but the Cuban has shown him otherwise, haha. I know its a lot of fish but I have other tanks if there is problems. Everyone is getting along great right now. Knock on wood
 
oh man i didnt notice the cuban..... as adults, youre gonnna have an awesome looking tank.
 
All very nice... I've never owned an EBJD, but I heard they were kind of delicate?? Not that you can't mix them or anything I just remember something about them being a delicate fish is all. Good luck and keep us posted!!
