Xingu Have Arrived!!!

[Cichlidgeek]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the nice words. Yeah, these guys are here for the long haul. I have a few reserved for close friends, but I plan on keeping at least five in my personal collection.
They are settling in nicely and already taking some frozen bloodworms, which I use as a treat (if the Cichla even go after it). Maybe I will snap a few more pix tonight before lights out

Here are some photos that I snapped shortly after feeding. The cool little catfish are wild Acanthicus adonis @ ~6cm. The Xingu Cichla are about 7-8cm +/- or so.
Cheers
