Nice pics, awesome fish, but WHY do you have 2 buttikofferi in the mix? Do you know their reputation?

Shawnie, your africans look amazing! They have grown so much since I have last seen them. Your cons look gorgeous as usual. I'm so glad they are still getting along well with the africans. What are the black fish with the yellow stripes that I see in so many of these pics? He's beautiful!

Ohhhhh Shawnie!!! Holy cow they're beyond real - they're so pretty together!

What size tank is this picture... and those are all cichlids...is that right?

Is the JD in this tank? Lol Sorry! I'm so confused because I don't know big fish, but I'm trying to get an idea of what a big tank can look like with big fish. I'm in love with your JD, but this tank is so beautiful too. Decision decisions... luckily I have a few years to decide.

Amazing as always Shawnie. In the one photo of the Moose where you're holding the tape measure...the fish is thinking I'm bigger than that pull out more tape! Ask BF how he keeps such a beautiful tank!
Thanks for sharing.

WHY is because I didnt stock this tank ...this tank got stocked while shawnie was at work LOL ...my 2 tappys wont be there much longer and not because of their agressive(which I know this also ), as they arent anymore than the others in the overstocked tank, its because of their potential size...(up to 12-14 inches)

How can you talk about your JD and "other" tank without showing us a pic?

They really are incredible fish...so lovely. Having Black Moors by accident has given me quite a new perspective on big fish. But I am still a fan of the tiny little guys! Not to mention all those darn PLATIES!
