a better one of OB1 (you can kinda see his cheek patches, hes got these stunning irridescant silver spots neer his gils!)
Jules: this is our little male red jewel cichlid, hes a South american species and i wouldnt normally mix South americans with africans but hes doing great in the tank and needed a good home, if trouble starts hell be moved to his own private quarters.
Unfortunatly hes impossible to get a good picture of with my camera, but hes a gorgeous red with black spots on his body and shines with those turquoise/blue irridescant freckles all over his head, fins and tail, hes one of my favorites and i didnt like south americans much before him. hes a little more shy than the africans though...
he is the smallest in the tank (after stripey the lone tiger barb lol)
Tank: hes a common pleco, he was in a bad situation before hand with his brother Dozer, while this tank isnt perfect and they will eventually outgrow it, they are doing great in this tank and stand up well to the cichlids
Dozer: (the other pleco) you can tell the difference between him and tank because dozer has light colord band over his "shoulders" (i think that little red in the picture with him, but its impossible to tell those 2 apart if i cant see their egg spots lol!)
so yeah, thats my cichlid tank...
i need more cichlids!
