5Ft Seabray Dolphin Tank With Sa/ca Cichlids

[PDSimon]

Yeah, it is just difficult trying to create a routine and feed all the fish without overfeeding..

 

[Big_eyes]

Theres still some in there, I don't think i'll feed them tonight as those little worms will be enough as well as them being a sign of overfeeding

It's very easy to overfeed, I keep saying I will feed every other day with my main tank but I just can't help it when I am around...whilst away 3 days a week they'll get fed once though...

The other problem is when you have non cichlids to feed in a cichlid tank the greedy guts always get in there first!

Doesn't help with geo's having the apparant ability to eat a whole horse too

You noticed that too....lol

I feed blood worm with a turkey baster, now they know what it means when I put it in the water, they start grabbing at the end of it before I squeeze the bloodworm out

Basically 5 geos surrounding the end of it with no space for anyone else to get a look in...and that's before any food is given...

The whitespot is no more I think, I've had a good look at all the fish and none have any issues...

I'm going to leave it until Saturday before I do a water change and get some carbon in those filters. I'll hopefully take some pics of my bigger tapa too who is starting to look rather nice

 

[PDSimon]

Glad to hear it!

[kaivalagi]

I hate the way this site drops subscriptions to topics when inactive...even your own! I didn't know you guys had posted anything...

I'll try and get some pics sorted over the weekend

 

[ChilliPepper]

Good, good!

 

[kaivalagi]

Got a couple pics today:

The colours in the pics dont do it justice though...never do really. I need a black or dark background somewhere...

 

[ChilliPepper]

Pretty! I can't wait for my little one to colour up

 

[Big_eyes]

Looking good!

Mine don't have little tips growing on their tails yet though, no fair

You'll have to get us some full tank shots, don't think you've done any since you first set it up.

 

[kaivalagi]

Nope I haven't got any full tank shots done in a long time...still not happy with it No live plants in there now, I got fed up with replacing them after they get ripped apart...

Here goes:
