How big are those cyps? I dunno if it's distorted because of the bag, but the eyes look a little large to me. This can be a sign of stunted growth. Just curious
They're between 2 and 3 inches... I'm pretty sure its just the bag... I'll try to get better pictures of them soon to see what you think... But they seem to be moving in quite well... It's really funny because they keep following the Brevis around... I'm in the middle of cleaning the tank... Darn little brevis started attacking my hand while I was arranging the shells... Nasty little buggers but cool... Here are some more pictures... Sorry about the bad quality but its not the best camera... and Sad to say... It may be a while for the pictures... I've been using my sister's digital camera since I don't have my own yet... and She leaves for college next Monday... Can't wait til shes gone... So... Hopefully in a month or two I will have my own... Looking to get a very nice camera that has a far zoom and great picture quality... Like one of the kind that is like the Digital SLR but isn't quite there yet

2nd day since adding the new additions: I love the new fish and snails. I can't wait til the tank gets overgrown with vals (Currently have 14 separate plants) and when the fish start breeding.
A little bit on the bad side: I think I lost one of the brevis. I currently only see 2 and the third is missing. I hope that hes still in there somewhere. If not, I hope the two I have left is a pair
And My Goby Cichlid is showing a weird color around the top edge on his tail. It's red? Is it a male? Or is it just that color?
My hollowed out driftwood on the right is currently the home to a bull-like lucipinnis. He chases out ever one who enters the hole except 1 nerite snail that found his way into the small opening. I'm definitely guessing that this Synodontis is a male.
FUTURE PLANS: I hope to add the Platythelphusa crab and more rocks. Also, I want to add another light like the one I just bought, but instead getting it with 1 actinic bulb just to add the large-lake effect.
I'd like to add 1 large anubias (Maybe) and a stone/driftwood covered in Riccia Fluitans in the middle of the shells. I'd like this so that the fry, when they move out, have instant cover and maybe I can save 1 or 2 fry. (If I ever get fry *Fingers crossed*)
I'd like to add a 1 Rock dweller as well: Male Astatotilapia burtoni, Altolamprologus compressiceps 'Lufubu', Altolamprologus calvus 'White Chaitika', or Altolamprologus fasciatus (If I ever find one) Wish I could pick one already. It's a tough decision.
