I figured it was a good start for my first cichlid tank ever

Nice video...was that a laser pointer that was causing the red dot light?
You might want to make your caves a little smaller for awhile, the structures look great, but I can tell ya from experience with africans, they like to find the smallest freaking cave they can squeeze theirselves into to call their own!!! Maybe add some smaller rocks in between to create smaller hidey holes until they get a little bigger. Several of ours will manually remove substrate from under the piece of bogwood until they have created a nook only they can get into. (just for FYI, the bogwood is in there for the bristlenose pleco who likes to rasp on it, very small piece, not for softening water)
Are you still seeing the "demon" side of the demasoni????:wink2:

Yeah, I noticed that too. I think it's the red record LED on the camcorder.

nice rock stack! I used to have a really nice guppy too. It basically had the same pattern as yours, but on the tail, it was orange not yellow, so i named in the Halloween guppy

Yea its the light from the camera. But however, i exercize them by shining a laser in their tank and they go nuts. It spretty entertaining!

A LFS called "tails and scales". My mom had a really nice tequilla sunrise guppy, untill the redtailled shark harrased it to death. So i wnt out and bought her this one.
