    Tank looks fantastic. Perfectly stocked community tank. I could sit in front of it for hours 😍. Can never have enough filtration. Thanks for the shout out Mate. Much appreciated. Happy Fish keeping. ✌🏽

    Looking good dude! Such a truly fantastic species albeit slower growing in my experience than most of its relatives but definitely worth the wait.

    Hey Paul love the latest video I do not think that tank is overstocked by any means I think it looks great I think the fish in it are beautiful as long as I know you're keeping up with your water changes as you always have I think the tank should be just fine enjoy watching your videos enjoy seeing your new fish please show some feeding videos and maybe some videos where you go to stores and check out fish thanks again mate I'm a big fan

    It will be overstocked when everything grows but for now it's fine. My tanks are usually well overstocked so don't listern to me lol. Finally caught up. Good content mate I've enjoyed catching up with all the vids. Really glad you have the Rio Hondo and the heterospila pair. Will be will looked after. Nice one for the food as well. Just watch if you put the pair on their own the male will batter her

    Love the pair, doesn’t look over crowded at the moment, maybe when the other 4 get full grown, but you have plenty of time yet.

    Tank looks great…i don’t think it’s over stocked at all at the moment. I’d maybe add a larger type plant from elite cichlids in the corner. It will give any of the fish that are potentially being harassed a place to chill out comfortably. What size is that tank by the way?
