Just copy and paste into your browser, or if somebody could host them, put 'em up!!

I have more pics of my entire tank, and will put them up later!

Just look below for the updated link...

Is that a male venustus or a female? I thought the males had a yellow body with blue face? I have a couple myself and love them.
They have become my favorites in that particular tank. I'm pretty sure one of them is a male at least. Noticing a sheen of blue on him, plus the face is starting to change. About how big do they get too? Sorry for so many questions.

It's definitely a male.

They get from 10-12" I think, depending on conditions.

Females get about 8-10" I believe.

Yeah, it's a Bi-Color.

They misidentiified it as a Freiberg's peacock, a.k.a. Fairy Peacock Cichlid.

I'll have more updated pics later.

It's been running for about a year now.

I started with SA/CAs, but when my Oscar died I changed my direction. This gives me much more satisfaction, although the workload increased significantly.

Added a pic of my juvenile Lemon Jake and newly matured Midnight Peacock, in an art-y kind of picture.

I got a crazy one with all three Malawians posing for the cam! I can't believe I got that one!
