Pictures do not do this tank any justice, it's hands down one of the best large fish display I have seen next to a public aquarium :thumbsup:

I love your aquarium. Big cichlids are impressive.
I had an eight-foot long, 300-gal. Central American cichlid tank years ago - big Blackbelts, Chocolate cichlids, Red devils, Salvini, etc. - lot of Heros & Theraps spp. (We called them all Cichlasoma). Lots of spawning and fighting. They locked jaws, sometimes fought like pit bulls.
It was cool. Until the left side of the tank came loose. 300 gallons on the floor and out the back door.
Ever considered any Leporinus species?

Thanks everyone!
jmccown- There isn't too much aggression. There is the occasional lip lock but no real damage so far. Overall I seem to have gotten pretty lucky with the way everyone gets along in there.
WVfishguy - I hadn't really considered any Leporinus but they do look pretty cool. I'll have to research them a bit. Unfortunately I have had a little space open up.
Ron - Thanks again for the SD. It's doing great so far. Still hasn't gotten it's cornering skills matered but it will.
