We need more photos of your tank setups! Please send them in...would hate to miss a month. I can see that there are several threads with some great tanks...now we just need a photo sent in.
Almost all the wild agassizi color 'types' I have gotten have had a lot of nice color, especially in good light.
Panduros are nice too IMO.
*EDIT*
How could I forget the A. bitaeniata 'rio tigre' ?!
FYI - I will be heading out to the woods for the next five days. There is no internet service, so if you send in a submission, and don't hear from me, don't worry, I'll get back to you by July 9th.
Just a heads up -- please send me as large of a file as possible -- 1MB is a minimum, larger is better - so that it uploads nicely to the photobucket system which allows each image to be downsized to the same size.
Additionally, I may offer to crop some of your photos if they display more...
As mentioned before, July's POTM contest theme will be FULL TANK setups. Any aquatic setup (including vivariums, palladiums, and of course aquariums).
SPECIAL RULES:
- Only full tank shots will be accepted. If you can't get a full tank shot, please email me and we'll work something out. At...

This month's contest theme was open to ALL FISHES UNDER FIVE INCHES (12.7cm). Of course, I can't measure your fish, so we just went off of best guesses. We have ten great photos. Choose your favorite and vote. Voting will end June 30th at 5:30 PM CST. Thanks again to all the participants...
Welcome, but I hope you know you are in a precarious situation adding more cichlids of the same type in the same aquarium. May I suggest setting up a second tank for your bolivian rams, and adding dithers such as cardinal tetras (or something similar) to each?
