    they are living peacefully in a 150 liters plated aquarium with some tetras, a ramirezi pair and 3 P. scalare
    will be moving them soon to a 60 liter tank made for them

    Welcome! That's a GREAT looking tank (the 60l). I would think you could get the angels in there along with a few Apistos.

    The bulb on them male's head is probably a nuchal hump. Many male cichlids develop this hump when the get old and fed too much fat in their diet.

    Lovely fish, these guys are my next group of Apistos I'd like to get. JW what type of floating plant is that you have in the tank? Very nice looking plant btw.

    Hi all,
    Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a great floater, but quite difficult to keep in a tank long term, possibly because it has very high light requirements. They've always dwindled away in winter when I've had them.

    There are some S. American floaters that are easier to keep, Salvinia auriculata & Limnobium laevigatum are very easy, Pistia stratiotes a little more problematic and Phyllanthes fluitans slightly more problematic again, but none of them are difficult to grow.

    cheers Darrel
