put details in this thread about how you care for yours and maybe add a pic! thanks everyone 
i have mine in a 75. temp kept about 78 degrees. pwc 75% per week. feed once a day a decent serving of Hikari cihclid gold small pellets.
2 oscars, Veron is 5.5in an Managuense is 4.5in. they are in with a 5in L-83, a 1in auratus and 1.5in RZ (supposed to be feeders but have been happily in with them for 6 weeks now!).
i love them and every day i watch them and think how lucky i am!
plus, they have been doing something odd. they always swim together, sleep together, nudge/reverse into/ fin stroke eachother and shimmy a lot. but fo the last 2 weeks they have been making a pit in the corner of the tank, then later on covering it with sand again. i watch them do it - they use thier chins!
and in the last week the area been getting bigger and hardly a sand grain is left where they have cleared, then they ruin it and restart EVERY DAY. no fights at all, they seem very very close. and iv seen Veron make an egg-laying imitation and Manna will zoom over and search for eggs as if looking to fertilise! i know it could be a year to 2 years, but this is hopeful!!
