I took some half tank shots the other day to try and get all the fish together in a group photo, but I had to back away so far that one may not be able to ID all the fish. Youre welcome to try. Some obvious central and southies, yet some fish might require more seasoned keepers.
good luck

the obvious ones I see are:
Managuense, Festae, 2 JDs, RD, barred midas, I think a RTM in the 4th picture towards the left top, and is that a haitienis (sp) in pictures 3 and 4 towards the bottom on the right? I won't even try and guess the vieja/paratheraps species.

This must be a HUGE tank to house all of these guys
 
Very nice tank and I see some really aggressive fish. I see the Midas, Red Devil, couple JD's, Manaquense, and a Texas. Is that a Lyonsi or something else? I bet you have tons of aggression in there? Oh and a festae, Texas (looks like a nice Texas) and whats the blotchy one? Hybrid? or Fenestatus?

WOW - nice lookin' tank. Interesting cohab of cichlids. What are their sizes and hows the aggression?


I have nothing under 3". Aggression is evenly dispersed among the fish. Its a 600 gallon tank, 8x2.5x4 feet.

Right, fenestratus, no hybrids in there, no jags, no lyonsi
 
That Escondido is a monster! Amp. Chancho in there? I love the collection of fish and the setup is really cool!
