Can anyone help to identify this cichlid, I tried googling and found a few forums but nothing that was a positive identification. Thanks in advance!

Got it . Thanks again! So far they haven't bothered them so ill see what happens over the next couple weeks.

Thanks wingin it, ill fix that later on tonight! Jeremoose, I've been feeding them 3 times a day to try and avoid them touching the plants. Also I tried to stick with hardy plants to ensure they endure In the eventuality that they do decide to go to town on them. I prefer the look of the live plants so i figured why my give it a shot. Is there a plant I can put in the tank that the cichlids will eat but will grow fast enough to replace itself??

Hello, My names Tom I'm from Calgary, 33, 2 kids, 2 cats and a dog . Recently picked up a 120 gallon tank off kijiji. Populated it with some plants and about 30 ish juvie cichlids. This will be my first cichlid tank and I have tons of questions . Looking forward to meeting other aquarium enthusiasts and learning from you all!
