She's been in the tank for a few days now. She's defending a corner and chases everyone out except for the stingrays. You can tell she's scared of the rays, lol. No damage done to others yet but she's no slouch! She ventures out occasionally and I hope she settles in and comes out more often.
Yay!!! You're gradually being converted to a Crenicichlaholic! Awesome!! Now we have TWO amazing photographers to help capture their beauty and turn more people onto them! Rocking!!!
Hope all is going well. I'd be a little nervous about the geos. personally. They don't stand up too well to a beating, and if she feels the need, they may take a beating. LoL
So far so good, folks. She's only started to stay in view the last week or so and is still stuck to the back wall of the tank. It's tough for me to get decent pics through 3 feet of water but I'm working on it. She has no damage and doesn't seem to be banging on anyone yet. She certainly does stay clear of the stingrays though, lol.
I had a pair of lents in with a couple of motoros for about a year. I ended up getting rid of the rays because the lents started nailing them bad. Towards the end the edge of the discs were always chewed up. For what it is worth.
