Updates from the 300. The amphs all get along pretty well at this point.
Random pics during a water change. Only way to get decent pics, otherwise they think its feeding time and wont sit still for a pic, lol.
This is a sub-dominant true midas male, Petsmart red devil above it

So its been a year now with the amphilophus project and so far the current stock seems to be doing well in the 300. Aggression is not too bad with the only real issue being one of the fish sits in the corner most times but it is not getting hurt at all.
The big guy, the Petsmart Red Devil at about 10 1/2" at a guess. Its sporting quite the hump right now!
The second Petsmart mutt, nice pattern and size at about 10"... but just wont get its hump. Pretty flat headed still
Sagittae, very slow grower. Its nose spot has faded a bit but still shows through.
The largest true midas, sporting a small hump. It gets bullied into the corner by the big red devil but it is not getting torn up or hurt. It is very subjective to the other male so I think that helps. It eats well and comes out during feeding but the rest of the time its just nose in corner.
The midas above has this sibling. Its my favorite of the true midas that I got. Cant wait for it to develop.

Thanks, I decided to just keep him solo. He got the upgrade to a 90 because of that. He seems happier in the bit taller tank too.Looking good
I might stir things up in the 300 by adding another fish. Im trying to acquire a bifa off one of my buddies.
I forgot to update the garage fishroom.
The Trimac got the new 90 recently (tank on upper left)
I decided to replace my other 75g to a 90 (New 90 on upper right). That was where the baby amphilophus grow out 75g was, and now the 90g has RTM growouts. Not going into the 300 but likely just a solo wet pet.
Sorry for the mess, water change day so stuff everywhere.
