well i just got a jd and a texas today(ill get some pics up when i get home from work). texas being an impluse buy, if he doesnt work i can put him in my free 50g tank.

wondering if i should get one more cichlid or would that be over doing it though.

So many cichlids come to mind-I wish I was in your situation. Availability of a 4"-5" cichlid may be a problem unless you have a specialty shop close by.
Blackbelts get huge (my male was around 16") but other Veijas like bifascatus, hartwegi, zonatus and argentea may work. You might be able to find a nice Geo surinamsis. Maybe a friedrichstahl, motageuse, or losseli
Check out jeff Rapps site hes got the best of the best NW cichlids

if i read jeffs site right you got to make a purchase of $50 or more to ship to the US and all i want is one more fish even though his fish are very nice.

Right now he has 8" Synspilum for $50 and 6.5" Bifasciatum for $40 and a lot of other fish in that range if you just want one fish. H. psittacus are cool

yea but i dont want to spend that much on a fish right now
