Hi MKF!
Just wanted to document my fish as they grow and what better place than here. This is my 90 gallon SA/CA cichlid tank. Haha I know these little guys are far from monsters, but they have alot of growing to do. Dempsey is the oldest being about 4-5 months.
Tanks Inhabitants:
Male Jack Dempsey
Female Green Terror
Female Cyano
Male Carpentis
(Unknown) Veija Fenestratus
Royal or Gold Nugget Pleco soon to come. :nilly:
Unfortuantly im going to have to dose the tank with internal parasite meds soon because GT hasnt been acting quite right. Wish me luck.
Sorry for the poor quality in the video, its all I got. I want to take some quality pics of them soon as well. I make up for the bad quality with a killer tune tho. Cheers

Veija & Cyano
Even though he looks like satan I named him HotDog. :headbang2
 
*dub post.
Got a new Cannon powershot so i thought i would do an update. Camera has HD just havent figured it out quite yet.
Since the last video I changed from black to a blue faded background. Blue really brings out the color pearls and the contrast with the pink looks great. Definatly like the blue over black.
Now that mrs cyano's boyfriend passed away she seems to be interested in captain jack. Shes even gotten some black on her which ive never seen. Green terrors pooping clear-white, but everybody else is eating like cichlids with normal poop. About 3 months and ive seen her eat maybee 2 bloodworms and she still isnt skinny. Im just giving small amounts of garlic and may try to get her to eat metro if she starts eat, but until then, if she lives great, if not i tried.

Enjoy
 
I ran into this same problem befor. These small females get way to excited when they see my Jd and want to breed :) Bad part is they always get too aggressive for the rest of my tank. Jd could care less shes all over him. Im thinking about ordering a male escondido or another cyano or a red tex if i can find one. Shes a very nice looking fish. The convict in my avatar is the other fish that tried to breed with the Jd. Unfortunatly she went back to the lfs for being too aggressive. Im really trying to start a breeding project in my 50gal, Eventually to the main tank.
*I guessin this is the reason for all males?
 
Nice fish and tank. Tank is way too small. You need a 6 footer for that stock list.

And those fish are gonna tear those plants up.
