Actually,
No offense or anything, but I think it is better that you got rid of that stock list. I am a cichlid enthusiast, and it is not good to keep species from one lake with those of another, let alone mixing all three. I guess you just got lucky, but I wouldn't advise you or anyone else to do that in the future, as all parameters in each lake are different, the occupants of the different lakes have different needs, and it could seriously harm then fish if put in different parameters than needed. Cichlids are also some of the more fragile fish, alot like discus, especially Fronts. Im not trying to be rude, but I would just like everyone to know that, that kind of setup would need alot of research put into it before you could see it happen safely, if at all. Like I said I am not saying you didn't put any thought in it, I would just like to warn people before they go and spend all that money on cichlids because they arent as cheap as other tropical fish, and I hate to see fish die because of the owner not doing what they are supposed to. So no disrespect meant, just my 2 cents.
But, I will have to give you props for the setup. Perfect colour coordination and it did look so beautiful. The plants did look so well with the bright and vivid coloration of the cichlids. Good job and good luck with the new stock!
Thanks for the time!
