That's a really lovely setup you got!

Would you mind listing the inhabitants please?

How do all the fish get along?

It would seem that the GT would king of that tank as they can be really aggressive, and will usually bully the o and JD. Especially since both the JD and GT are males (maybe the o too, but almost impossible to sex without checking internal organs). Looks like you have a small con from the thrid pic as well? Any other small cichlids in there?

The oscar is definatley king of the tank, they all get on fine the green terror likes to chase my jd from time to time, not seen any aggression from the gt. Also have 2 pairs of convicts who can also look after themselves, they are the most aggressive really, when breeding they will chase all the fish away from them.

yes, cons are known to be prob the most aggressive new worlds when they are breeding and will take on anything, no matter the size, when they have eggs or wigglers present.

I'm suprised the o is the king. usually they will be bullied by some of the smaller (by comparison obv) new worlds like GT's and JD's as they are more of a gentle giant.

I would normally say this tank can't work due to the aggression from all the fish, but if you have not seen any adverse effects on the fish (they all look good, with no visible scars or battle wounds) then I guess I can't say it doesn't work, but I gotta say for anybody else reading this, I wouldn't recommend trying to keep these fish together. It would seem that you have gotten lucky with some "tamer" members of these species.

EDIT:

Just wondering too, I am a JD lover and was wondering if you had a close up pic of just him. You got a good shot of him in the fourth pic but he is back behind the o. It looks like hes a bit camera shy (as mine is) as this is the only picture where you got a good still shot or even a look at him at all! Thanks
