Did a major change up on the plants and went higher on my light. Added two LED Fixtures and moved to Dry Ferts given the new plant selection. Gone are all the swords and Anubias. All were replaced with various stem plants.

That tank is absolutely amazing. Great work. I could never get my plants to live for very long. All that cover must allow for that stock list. In my tank, even 3/4 of that would see quite a bit of hostile territory disputes. Again, great work.

Thanks Mythic. The cover definately helps in allowing me to keep that mix and that number of cichlids. I still have my angels who literally hate each other and the festivums.

The dwarves usually leave eachother alone but my honsgloi male definately lets all the other cichlids know whos boss. He owns the tank even over the angels and the dwarf pikes.

I will probably have to thin out the festivums as the angels grow. May just end up with a pair or a trio when all is said and done.
