I'm growing out some beauties in the grow-out tank (#JUVIEHAPNATION) but let's take a look at who is on fire right now!
Focus will be on:
The Electric Blue Hap (Sciaenochromis fryeri) 
My Z Rock (Otopharynx lithobates, "Zimbawe Rock")
Buccochromis nototaenia
Otopharynx tetrastigma, "Intermedius" 
and my Aulonocara jacobfreibergi, "Otter Point" Peacock
