Sounds like a great tank!
I agree it was difficult to get anything worth posting with the camera phone

I use a Lumix ZS 100 myself. It's really a ball!

So, I had a few threads for different tanks with some pictures, but I wanted one place to post pics of my fish. So I am just going to update this thread with pictures as my fish grow and as I get new ones. Also just started shooting with dslr, so will have better quality photos than before.

I will get some good pictures of my other cichlids soon. Still learning how to work the camera. But excited that I can take better quality pics.

Nice

Just dropping a quick update photo of my male panamensis. I don't usually name my fish, but I've been calling this guy "big boy" for a while now. He's about 6" long and chunky. I think I've had him for about 3 years.

Nice! I actually upgraded my phone to the iPhone X not too long ago, and have reverted to taking fish photos with the phone. My DSLR is old and the iPhone camera actually does better for a novice like myself! But I still play around with the DSLR for some more artsy shots sometimes

Not sure how the iphone camera works on videos, maybe you have to use an app but with the Lumix I take 4k vids and I can grab photo shots out of the vids. Works great for fish. Especially posers like Luther.
