Fish - Cichlid Tank
Cichlids are a very aggressive and territorial fish. You either keep 2-3 to give them space or overcrowd them so 1 or 2 don't get picked on. Either way you have to have lots of hiding spaces for them. There are pictures of babies in here that sadly did not make it. We were not expecting babies and therefore did not have a nursery tank setup for them. We also sadly lost this tank during Hurricane Ida when we lost power. I did my best to keep all the fish alive but in the end the Koi took precedence.
Setup is ready to go.

The orange fin you see sticking out of the cave at the bottom is Tiger - the Clown Loach. He was in the aquarium at my apartment. Sadly, when he got bigger, he still tried to sleep in that cave. One day he got stuck and died in there.
