Madness's "kids" in my tank!

Its happened, Madness now has his "kids" in my tank! :affraid:

Here are a few quick, blurry shots:
A tank shot - they are hungry! :pig:

Now my favorite, the hoga


Here is the bocourti

The Lyonsi

One of the red devils

The synspilum

looks like a showdown but its not.

One of the zonatus


A couple of fish that are not from madness:
The new pleco from Zerc, under the red devil from madness


My favorite red hook silver dollar. The only one with the freckles.


While I'm at it here is my convict in the 29g. He will never sit still, so he got named Spaz


I rushed to take pics before work so not the best but you get the idea. Madness's "kids" are running wild in my home! :tongue:

I missed a few like the other zonatus and red devil but they were being uncooperative brats! :roll:

Thanks!

So far they get along pretty well. I can see aggression starting in the red devils. In the grand scheme of things I see both devils and a zonatus going away. I will let them grow out for just a bit longer before I make any changes.

I said the same thing about my midas when he started killing off my pictus cats. But he hasn't killed off anyone else since!

He's scared. I threaten him with "time out" in a 5 gallon bucket every few days!

They look awesome 'D', that Bocourti looks very nice. The Syns looks great also, hell, they all look very good. :)

Re: Madness's "kids" in my tank!

The only ones looking a little haggard are the zo's. The one that I just got from you looks like he bashed his nose a little in the move. But he is doing great eating like a champ the other has a bit more blue coloring but is very shy and not eating like the rest.

The bocourti and synspilum are starting to color up nicely. They seem to be settling in and eating better. Seems like three weeks has been the magic amount of time for most cichlids to get somewhat comfortable with their new surroundings. Seemed to notice the same when I had the argentea and pearsei.

The shocker was the lyonsi, he is the smallest of all the fish but he kind of muscled his way in and is eating and interacting well. At fist glance looks like a hoga.

Thanks again madness for the "kids". Between fishman and myself you will get to see what the kids turn out like as adults.

Can see the family resemblance in our red devils.

The orange and white combo seemed to be a small percentage of the batch from madness, the majority were all orange. Could all change with time, but these devils were very nice looking.

Nope. same batch. He feeds a lot and performs a lot of water changes. He is about 5+". So yours and Fishman should sprout soon. This guy looked like yours when he bought them. He bought 5 and he kept this one and gave the others to APFP. The largest one he took to APFP was 3".

The Hoga above the Devil is also about 5".

I am a little disappointed... I hope mine does not lose the pattern and become plain looking.
