maybe add like 2 or 3 more pictus they usually don't like being alone! Besides that looks good!

I've found this to be false... there were actually 4 and all they did was claim their own territory and fought. Never saw them school not even once

Nice set up. Love the hardscape! Spacious, with ample swimming room. Those geos are loving that sand, just dont expect it to stay flat and even. They gonna be making mounds and holes all over the place soon haha.

Very nice!
It will look a lot fuller when the flagtail and severum are full size. Nice hardscape.

Stock is still the same and they are doing well.... the floating plants might have short roots bc of the cichlids picking at them but have taken off and covered the whole top.

Tank looks great man. Nice stock, as they grow the tank will fill out nicely. Personally would add more rocks/wood and try some aquatic plants secured to the driftwood. But it looks very nice as it is!
