Wow! He's stunning!   What a beauty!

He really has grown a lot and seems to be more beautiful each pic! Poseidon is a great name

Its been awhile since my last update, poor little guy has gone blind in one eye! I don't know what happened, one day I arrived home to see the eye looking quite swollen and scratched. I medicated as I would for pop-eye and the eye got better but it seems he cant see out of it anymore. It hasn't stopped him though and he is still very healthy and active. Eats a lot and has grown quite a bit more, I can see he's going to be truly stunning in a few more months, although he looks great now already
 
I also put in one of my rams which was left out of the pairs that formed and got beaten up quite badly, and a tiny baby salvini.  He seems happy to have some tankmates to interact with, coming out of his cave more often.
 
Heres some more pics including a close up of the bad eye!

He's looking gorgeous still, really sorry to hear about his eye! Hope he and the other fish get along well.

I should do this with mine. I'll try and get some pics of my two males up. One is very young. The other is fully grown. Nice fish.

Check out my journal I started in the general New World Cichlids section. Maybe it should be moved up here...

I had a EBJD a few years ago. They are just a mess. So pretty full of personality but have every genetic problem they could.

I've never had much trouble with mine. You have to be very careful when selecting them. Some are very good. Others have malformities and all kinds of problems.
