My Stock and tank

[GBLShorty]

Just a update on my tank

My stock is...

65 Gallon, just under 4ft, 2ft high, 17" deep

6 x Yellow Labs (Labidochromis Caeruleus)

6 x Perlmutt (Labidochromis sp Perlmutt)

4 x Yellow Tail Acei (Pseudotropheus sp. "acei")

1 x Red Top Hongi ' Sweden' (Labidochromis sp. Hongi)

1 x blue hap (Sciaenochromis Fryeri)

3 x Peacocks (2 x Aulonocara sp. "Strawberry" 1 x "OB")

The idea is if the Peacocks and Hap do not work out I will get more Hongis/Red Zebras.

Had to remove 1 Red Zebra due to aggression and swapped him for another Acei, accidentally killed my second Hongi (was really gutted about this) I was adjusting the rocks and pulled off the inlet cover and he swam up and got killed by the impeller

doing 60% weekly water changes feeding Cichlid Excel pellets twice a day (can anyone suggest a good omnivore food I can use for this stock?

 

[SorryEh]

Looking good. I love yellow labs, some of them will get amazing personalities. I have a lab I can feed from my hand and she will even jump out to get food I am holding. I also have another lab that spends his days floating behind the BN plecs and wondering what on earth are these. That one that got sucked into the filter is sad, but natural selection I guess. For my cichlids I use just the natural geographic pellets. They love the size and will gobble them up until their mouths are full. I have been feeding them this for almost 3 years and they are very healthy. What you have there looks pretty good and probably better than what I have

i'm finding it hard to find a pellet small enough for my tiny Perlmutts lol.

 

[SorryEh]

The pellets I use are more of tiny little balls so that's how I used them since these were babies. The pellets are probably 0.75 to 1 mm in diameter. I am basing this off my 0.5 mm sand. You could try soaking the pellets in a little cup before hand and then when you put it in everyone will tear their chunks off if its too big, I used to do this.
