Very nice looking tank Damian..

I too, have some N anomola very similar looking to yours.. I got tired of them spawning in the tank and took out all the females and fry (work!) but left a lone male (I thought; 1 small juvenile escaped capture but fortunately turned out to be a male - who, poor thing is harassed constantly by the larger male ;0)P

Can't wait to see your new layout and esp the Viejitas.. very nice fish.. haven't had an opportunity to keep those Apistos *yet*
