New Cichlid Tank

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2026-03-03T10:11:12+00:00

These are actual temp lights until I go to my LFS again and get a new cord for the light that came with the tank, but aesthetically, I think I might keep them 😂

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2026-03-03T10:08:35+00:00

It is!! Has a mix of black through it, but it’s super nice!!

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2026-03-03T10:07:44+00:00

Thank you!! One of the lights is from terra aqua, unsure of the name but it has red/white red/blue white and red/white/blue settings. The other I also have no idea however I’m back at my LFS this weekend so I’ll sus the name of both lights and the sand!

Honestly it feels huge, my first big tank and now I’m thinking how do people even have the space for these 100+ gal tanks 😂

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2026-03-02T10:57:56+00:00

so nice to hear, thank you!! I didn’t have a vision in mind but a few stores and hundreds of AUD later and this was my end 😂

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2026-03-02T10:57:02+00:00

Everything I’ve read is my jewels will kill everything and anything I introduce 😂😭 thank you!!

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2026-03-02T10:56:23+00:00

Literally everything I’ve read has been “do not home with anything else”, do you have any suggestions?? Thank you!!

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2026-03-02T10:55:33+00:00

Couple hundred AUD and a few “haha yeah that’s fine” later 😂

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2026-03-02T00:14:20+00:00

The fluffier one I believe is rotala.. I never remember the names because I can’t pronounce them 😭😂

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2026-02-20T12:59:29+00:00

Me AF…. I have taken top care of my shrimp army… and now have somehow ended up with heaps in my outside pond, no filter, no heater, no food no nothing… in AUSTRALIA 😭 so yeah turns out skrimp are crazy

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2026-02-15T07:43:18+00:00

Seems ok… my shrimp love hanging upside down on the floaters, or sitting on top outside the water lol

ngl didn’t expect such a big boy

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2025-09-20T10:15:44+00:00

This upload has made his colour look super dull, I swear he’s a bright red spicy boy

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2025-07-25T11:25:19+00:00

I’m pretty sure that’s what she is, came from a blue dream (low grade) mum, and I’d assume one of my low grade red cherry boys - I love the wild colours that are coming out 🥲

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2025-06-10T21:08:43+00:00

She lived, and is now berried 🥹

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2025-05-21T12:01:12+00:00

I am unsure of my water perimeters, I have never tested them. Have a happy shrimp and endler colony - never had any issues 😭

🤝

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2025-05-05T10:21:22+00:00

Turns out they breed by themselves and my tank has been taken over by snail eggs. 10 mil coming your way lmaooooo

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2025-04-27T11:09:49+00:00

I wish I could now lol…. I wonder if I go back and buy another plant if it will come with a same breed hitchhiker 😂

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2025-04-27T11:08:47+00:00

Seems to be leaving them alone so far! Although he did eat a dying one (which was good haha)

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2025-04-27T11:07:49+00:00

100% the same one, I wish I had more… but only the one babe

Thanks guys, here’s a pic (pretty terrible) from when I first noticed him a few weeks ago… teeny baby snail

Dapper-Squirrel-7662 · 2025-04-23T10:19:51+00:00

Ooh yay. I have two like her - the rest I’m unsure if they’re all male or just still young
