    couple of new fish for the 240 gallon

    Today I went and got a couple of new fish I got a Salvini ( AKA Salvin's Cichlid ,Yellow-Belly Cichlid ,Tricolor Cichlid), a Bulldog Pleco ( aka, Rubber/Rubbernose/Rubberlip Pleco (L187b)) and a Dimidiochromis Compressiceps (aka,the Malawi Eye Biter Cichlid) I only got some pics of the bull dog pleco and the salvini and the pics arnt that great. I couldnt really get a pic of the Malawi eye biter because he was swimming around and he also had four pellets of food shoved in his mouth hahaha. The tank was pretty messy because I just fed the fish. I'm going to clean the tanks service the filters and do water changes tomorrow and try to get some better pics

          I've learned that D. Comprisseps goes great with sa/ca cichlids in the past. they are just as aggressive as anything else out there and anything they can't hold their own against they can out swim in a flash. very hearty too. good choices.
