My dream community tank has gotten a nice boost. Just got the box of new additions this morning. Glad to finally have some jags back in my tanks courtesy of my awesome girlfriend. She ordered 3 young male Honduran jags from Dan at Cichlids of the Americas, the smallest at 4.5" and the largest at 6", for our 2 year anniversary. Here are pictures of them when I just put them in the tank so their colors aren't really there yet due to stress but they've adjusted alright after the 2 day shipping trip they endured. Smallest guy first:

He is hiding because he decided to test Wolverine the grammode through the divider and I am pretty sure he lost, lol.

The one in between and nearly as big as the largest one. He is easily the most responsive right now and is the first to eat the worms that I put in each of their sections.

Swimming up to check out the cam.

A little sneak peak from Wolverine my grammode.

And here are a few shots of Wolverine, now a little bit bigger than when I first got him. Never thought he'd grow because he barely eats anything outside of a couple of pieces of mysis shrimp.

The new Honduran jags are showing signs of a beginning onset of ICH as there are a few white specs on them from the transit so I've increased the temp on the tank and added salt and a bit of Quick Cure to the tank. I will update on their progress in a few days or a week or so. Thanks for looking!
