Because gravel and rock cleaning and catching the inhabitants when necessary requires just about a complete teardown, this tank changes every few months.

The clowns line up nicely on a slab of slate. Note the female convict/severum/parrot facnig away is all colored up. Spawning is imminent. Canon PowerShot S100 at 10.8125mm, 1/30 sec f4 12/18/2004 15:01:42 - 950x622 JPEG (Original 1600x1200 613 KB) img_1194.jpg   167235 bytes |

This Rubbernose Pl*co was in our 120 with a few others, but we decided they would do better in our 90 where they proceeded to spawn. Photo taken March 6, 2001. Canon PowerShot S100 at 5.40625mm, 1/30 sec f7.1 3/6/2001 12:55:39 - 900x703 JPEG (Original 1600x1200 557 KB) img_0227_03-06-01.jpg   138250 bytes |

This shot from November 13, 2001 shows how much the smaller female Cichlid Parrot (NOT Blood Parrot) colors up prior to spawning. They also become fiercely territorial at this time and the pair will defend their brood until they can no longer keep them from roaming. image/jpeg, 850x567 (24bit) 120_parrots_11-13-01_1.jpg   97824 bytes |

Shot of the 120 looking toward the kitchen on October 27, 2001. It's obvious that the Parrot Cichlids are taking over at this point... The white tubes are from one of our Vortex diatom filters which rotate to whatever tank needs one the most. image/jpeg, 950x712 (24bit) 120_parrots_10-27-01.jpg   228352 bytes |

One of the first Parrot Cichlid broods in the 120 on July 17, 2001. We already had several other Parrot broods in rearing tanks. We were running out of space fast... See "Henry's Tale of Two Tanks (and then some!)" for the whole story. image/jpeg, 800x600 (24bit) 120_parrots_07-17-01.jpg   109026 bytes |

A grainy shot (low light) of "Mr. Stud Muffin" This Electric Yellow Lab is the daddy of numerous broods. He can't get along with anyone in any tank so he's all alone in a 15 right now. image/jpeg, 550x365 (24bit) img_0144_03-02-01.jpg   32435 bytes |
