I swear you must have a mini fish cam in there to get some of these closeups! the clarity is awesome . The G. surinamensis are little beauties. great stuff Brian!

Regards

Mike.

The Tapajos are colouring up nicely, I like the second last shot. Looks like the steindachneri have not lost their appetite in their new home

Thanks all

Andrea: Thanks again..
Paul: Thanks
Mike: As fish get bigger, closeups get easier Still struggle with the small ones, the satanoperca's are the smallest and I would not attempt a closeup.
Vincent: Thanks, and the redhumps are feeling quite at home. Thanks again, great fish.

Cheers
Brian

I'm in heaven! I love these American Cichlids

out of interest, where did you get your Acarichthys Heckelii from? I've been trying to find these guys for a while now

[topline]

Hi Monobono

Got them about a year ago from Veba's.

Saw some for sale last weekend at Malaga Aquarium, they were still small but looked ok, and they had quite a few, can't remember the price though.

Cheers
