Thanks!! Yea, I like it A LOT better...my male maingano has decided to pile it all up on one of the rocks already :/

Lol u can always rely on cichlids to rearrange the decor.. Before I removed the gravel my large male venustus would build massive piles of gravel completely covering large rocks..

He's gorgeous!! How big is he? My male just now started turning blue....

 

[Mfish7]

Close to 30cm/12inch including his fins.. I bought him from my LFS about 6months ago he was only about 20cm in length at the time, I would like to buy 4 females to put in with him so I can maybe get some fry out of him.. I made the mistake of buying only one female which he killed unfortunately..

This is him in the previous tank before I moved them recently to another tank while I revamp the the main tank and get rid of the terrible blue pebbles..

 

[kelbaker79]

Wow! He's pretty big then, my male is about 6 inches right now...

He is very nice and healthy! Wait til he gets bigger he will bully everyone in the tank lol if he doesn't already..
