I decided to change things up, I removed my large male T. maculipinnis from the fry after 6 months. Fry are coming along with slow growth.I placed him in my 125 G with M. gephyrus and O. heterospila.
He's definitely creating some interest.
I had the one gephyrus with a group of maculipinnis previuosly. Seemed to be very curious and almost flirting with the maculipinnis before. The maculipinnis is slightly large then the other cichlids.
He was chased for a bit and scared. I would say the gephyrus is tank Boss. Interesting seeing it color up every so often to a yellow. The fish are definitely stimulated from his presents. I think it will work out. Just hope the maculipinnis does not destroy my plants. I have had good luck keeping the CA/SA cichlids with the plants. Yes, the gephyrus is a SA cichlid. The ones I picked are in similar water parameters. I am pleased, so far so good.
