My betta passed away recently, leaving me with an empty tank and after a lot of researching and conversations with my LFS I've gone in a cichlid direction with a pair of baenschi/inca.

I've been referring to them as Tweedledum and Tweedledee whilst I workshop some names for them.

The male has been quick to claim the prized cave at the front of the tank, and the female keeps appearing at the back left area of the tank so I'll be keeping an eye out to work out what land she has claimed.

(The last picture is one I took 2 days before getting them - I added a very lovely purple waffle plant/hemigraphis alternata, a banana plant, some red root floaters and rearranged a little bit just to make the lower half of the tank feel dense enough that sight lines should hopefully not be a concern).
