65 gallon LJ project

My albino gold angelfish is now on another friend tank, and received 3 corydoras as a gift from an aquarist who dismantled his tank to move to another city, and added one more dwarf cichlid, literally I had not seen a Kribensis here for YEARS, it's very small and there is only a little chase with it electric blue ram.
New fish:
2x Corydoras pygmaeus
-Corydoras agassizii
-Pelvicachromis pulcher

We bred kribensis for several years until we couldn't even give them away anymore. Kept alone they're pretty mellow. Yours look to be male. I actually think females with their pink tummies are prettier...but way more feisty!
 
I'm not sure yet about whether it is male or female, but neither of the species, there are a couple of details that make me think that it's another species of Pelvicachromis, but maybe it is the maturity of the fish, it only measures 1"

Oops, now I see a pinkish tummy, so a young female. I didn't see that in your first pic. She should grow to ~2 inches. Watch that she doesn't pick on your other small cichlids. There are other species of kribensis these days than when we kept them, I don't know the ID differences.
 
The tank looks completely messy, nothing aesthetic because I'm preparing everything for a change in the aquascape and drilling of the glass to connect to the sump. I haven't had much time to dedicate to the tank, my marriage could no longer continue, and I have been very busy these days. Anyway there is a lot of work ahead, my Kribensi is taking an incredible coloration, I love his purple pelvic fins and a turquoise blue outline, completely charming.

Make an early water change today at 7a.m, coffee in hand, of course.
 
Thanks for the suggestion, bolivian ram is nice, but it does not fit the specifications of more fish, remember the more rare or unusual, the better for me. It's true that not all the fish in the tank are, but they have a reason to be here ✌
