UPDATE: 265 growout tank, week 3

[NWatson]

Love the look of the tank. It should look really nice once they get some size. Are you just planing to let them grow out and see what works for the long term? Keep us updated with the growth and tank shots.

Thanks! They could possibly be a whole lot better if I understood the camera like you.

It's nice to have a 265 as a growout tank. I like your taste in cichlids.

Great looking group!Where the trimac and convict too agressive or getting picked on?

Thanks Man! I was just wanting to keep that 1 with the pigment mutation and just couldnt catch that 2nd one, but I finally removed everything from the tank so i could catch him and the male convict and various catfish out of the tank. The con was trying to hook up with one of the female HRPs and they had literally taken over half the tank when they paired up...causing all kind of chaos and the neets were egging them on by sneaking around the wood and rocks to get where they were, which just kept them pissed off and striking out. It was funny while it was going on but the con & hrp were like a hornets nest...the neets are really one of the most bold, outgoing and funny cichlids Ive ever kept. If I had a spare 55 or so, Id probably order 8 or so and try and get a pair.
