I picked up a few Blue Dolphin Cichlids, they have settled in well and
are starting to colour up nicely!

Nice mooriis. They were one of the first cichlids I had great success with. They do well with many other africans. :fish:

I'm gonna put them in the new tank with the Fronts mate,
they should max out to their full potential there.

Nice Moorii! I'd hold off on putting them with the frontosa. My experience with the Moorii is that they can be easily bullied by more aggressive fish. If the Frontosa start pushing them around they might not do so well. Wait till they get some size on them first.

The Fronts are not aggressive at all, but I will grow the Dolphins on a bit
before introducing them.

Probably isn't an issue , just that mine were a bit on the tender side and didn't do so great with even mildy rowdy tankmates when young.

They will be fine in with Mike's fronts. He got them from me and they were in with my victorian haps with no problems at all.:ssmile:

Very nice c.moorii's! How many of them do you have and how many fronts?

I keep the two species together with no issues or interaction.
