Hey vanalisa, I would personally leave the water change for now. Especially if your water parameters are showing as okay Maybe give it a fews days to allow your new fish to settle inI just got some new fish yesterday.
Drip acclimated and into QT
They seem alright, but I wonder if I should do a water change or just let them be. View attachment 98775View attachment 98776
Yes.Is there ever a situation where a partial water change would be detrimental?
Thanks, that was why I asked, my gut says to leave them be!Hey vanalisa, I would personally leave the water change for now. Especially if your water parameters are showing as okay Maybe give it a fews days to allow your new fish to settle in
We are told to listen to our gut But honestly, if your water parameters are okay the fish are eating and active they will be fine. Just keep in mind new fish can sometimes refuse food for a few days. When I added my geophagus he didn't eat for a little while. Best thing at this point I would say is to monitor your fish and keep testing your water parameters when you feel the need.Thanks, that was why I asked, my gut says to leave them be!
How big do these get?I would definitely recommend some siamese algae eaters. Amazing fish, especially when you have a group of them. They are constantly grazing and cleaning. He is a geophagus altifrons, best suited to larger aquariums, they can get big
One of my siamese and a yoyo loach

They can grow upwards of 12 inches but typically they get around the 4 to 6 inch markHow big do these get?
There is a fish very similar in appearance which are called Firemouth Cichilds. They can get up to 6 inches but typically don't get that big. I have a group in my tank and they are very colourful fish.Thanks! But too big! For the tank I am planning, anyway.
You have some very nice looking colorful fish, currently I just have shoals of different types of tetras in my 55 gallon tankThere is a fish very similar in appearance which are called Firemouth Cichilds.
