Just wanted to do a tank update, had a friend visit that has a good camera so made her pay for her keep by taking pics of the tank haha, sorry about all the specks these were taken not long after a water change.
Current stocklist of my 5ft 120g:
carpintis vontehillo
creamsicle midas (yet to peel and is blind in one eye) he actually has nice deep red hues coming in on the front of his body that you can see in the FTS but not really in his individual shots...
argentea
festae
3x senegals
3x pictus catfish
boss of the tank is the vontehillo who is also the largest cichlid at 6in but the others are gaining on him fast :headbang2

Wow, I have yet to see a vontehillo that big. It looks amazing.
 
thanks guys, yeah my big guy definitely rules that tank with an iron fist haha, but still not overly aggressive, everyone has their trailers and very rarely is there a split fin in the tank so seems to be working out for now (probably going to get a 75g to house the argentea or midas once larger if they start to cause problems) but yeah i can never get good pics of him without making him look greenish so i was glad my friend could get some pics that show off his true colors, he really is gorgeous, not the most outgoing though...
 
Your Argentea is going to look incredible when he grows up. Hell, he already does.
 
thanks man, yeah he is def one of my fav fish, and now that he is larger he isnt shy anymore so swims all around and isnt afraid anymore, i love it :)
 
Great looking stock and tank! Love the Tex!
