Thank you everyone for the feedback. I have 4 other tanks im working out a plan for. I have a 75 gallon reef tank, a freshwater 30 gal semi aggressive grow up tank, a fw 10 gallon cichlid grow up tank and a 180gal that im in the process of buying/setting up sand and rock work for .
Out of all the tanks i find myself still drawn to the 55. The kind of personality and attitudes this group exhibits make them VERY interesting. The sensipilum is the mediator/ the muscle.
My (Tropheus) red banded moori has allways been tiny but he is Super fistey. He tries the sensipilum nipping her tail once in a blue moon till she turn around and he runs for the hills. He also tries to flutter his tail and intimidate the blue peacock.
The Nicaraguan took forever to show his blues, he ownes the bridge and most of the bottom, super ballsy, allways flareing up. The frontosa has seemed to peacefully just claim the log and noone really questions that. He is the quiet, good neighbor, for the most part.
The blue peacock is the most aggresive of the mid water dwellers. He chases the aulonocara mylandi once in a while during day time. The Ob had 35 babbies, 25 are now about .25in long. (Ob) She now chases the aulonocara once in a while also, and she is TINY, like 1/3rd his size, and he will not confront her.
The blue peacock owns most of the right side of the tank, super dominant.
I believe the ob mate to be a peacock, probably the blue, but who knows! Lol. It's a mystery.
Wil show pics of babbies once they grow.
