Very nice Al, looking forward to seeing how they look when they are adults. Al you are killing me with keeping other types of fish, now I am really thinking about purchasing Altum Angels for another tank I have.
This are really cool little cichlids . They only get about 4 inches and are usually not a problem with plants. They are considered gentle peaceful cichlids. They arent suitable for a discus tank as they prefer cooler water, though I did manage to keep some in low 80s and they seemed ok..its probably not good for them.
I picked up a group of 8 from Tristan's Tropicals yesterday. They are housed in a 40 gal breeder as a grow out.. they are small but already very personable little guys. They tend to be shy but in a group of 8 they feel comfortable.
I've missed having a variety of fish here and have been enjoying revisiting old favorites.

Al… another nice purchase. I have just one question as I continue to read your posts… how many tanks you have?

I love keyhole cichlids. Several decades ago, I kept them.
When I saw your post, I had warm recollections.

Alright Al, you have me considering some of these guys

Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
I used to host alot of visitors here. I was a real bad influence on many much to their spouses irritation. Several times I have been quoted "al says furniture is over rated...we should ditch the couch and get another tank".
You can never have all the tanks you want...but its fun to try.

Al, I was reading off the list of your tanks to my wife. She began to sing the list of your tanks to the Twelve days of Christmas song.

I had those not long ago. The last one died of old age this last spring. I did keep them with discus in a 125 gal. tank, temp around 83f. They are one of many of my favorite SA cichlids.

I had 6 in the beginning. I also found the ones I had were quite aggressive towards each other after breeding age and that's how I lost the first two.
