I probably have about 40 african cichlids and there are babies all over the place. I'm so tempted to put some peacock bass in there, but I know they'll have it cleaned out in about a week.

thats cool what fish are you puting in there i would ether put koi or red tail catfish but thats me
I'm not a real big koi fan. They're too commercial for me. Tilapia are also big down here but I don't really like them either. I can see why though, they both grow super fast, they eat any crap you throw at them and they almost never die unless eaten. Then sometimes its even questionable. The Guapotes, peacock bass, etc. are much more selective of what they eat.
Here are some photos that I took this weekend in the rain. I also planted a couple of chinas "flowers" to add some more color under the heliconia's.

Nothing new, except for a crawfish that ended up in the filter. I put some one inch babies in about 4 months ago and the one I found was about 4 inches. I also forgot to mention that as far as water clarity goes I have a terminator uv light running with a 35 watt bulb that handles about 900 gallons per hour. My pool is about 26,000 gallons. What's wrong with this picture.
