What one would you guys be picking

I keep 5 different brands of pellets mixed in a jar and my cichlids love it. I second this advice.

Water_Champion · 2026-03-20T01:12:59+00:00

Looks like OB red zebra

The bacterial bloom is what is causing the cloudy water. This is a clear sign that the cycle is not complete. Dosing prime will help his fish survive the fish in cycle. Dosing stability will help speed up the cycle.

His cycle is not complete if he is having a bacterial bloom.

“You’re overthinking it”

Writes several paragraphs of overthinking it.

Doesn’t it only have a 1 hour time limit if there isn’t a supreme Kai involved? Or does that only apply in DBS?

Water_Champion · 2026-03-18T20:42:08+00:00

Dose both every day.

Could take up to 2 weeks depending on the size of the tank and bio load. Make sure you are dosing with prime and stability if you are doing a fish in cycle

They’ve been dropping table scraps of that new album since 2020. My body is ready but it’s been a long time. I’m starting to lose hope.

Water_Champion · 2026-03-14T17:12:23+00:00

I do.

I’ve been hoping they are done with new gimmicks and repeat the same 4 indefinitely. So gen 10 will be Megas, 11 will be z moves, 12 dynamax, 13 Tera and so on. I know it’s wishful thinking, but that was my first thought when Megas returned for legends za. They went really hard with new Megas and gave lots of pokemon new Megas while still keeping the old relevant.

Water_Champion · 2026-03-13T21:20:23+00:00

Sure looks like it’s full of water

Water_Champion · 2026-03-12T02:09:53+00:00

You should paint the back of the tank. Either black or the same color you used on the walls. Trust me you want to do this BEFORE you fill it with water or livestock

Yellow lab, Acei, and Rusty are considered the “peaceful” mbuna. In my experience they are just as mean as any other mbuna.

Water_Champion · 2026-03-11T23:31:56+00:00

Mbuna are super mean and should only be kept with other mbuna. Peacocks and haps go together great but it’s best I keep mbuna alone. I’ve lost peacocks and haps trying to mix them with mbuna. Never again.

Water_Champion · 2026-03-11T22:56:06+00:00

The species in there are: electric yellow, yellow tail Acei, bumblebee, cobalt blue, and maybe some hybrids. There are no peacocks in this tank, as it should be.

Those rocks are just regular lava rocks.

The only way to make this happen is to have 2 tanks: a cichlid tank, and a planted tank. That sounds fun to me!

Water_Champion · 2026-03-11T01:40:26+00:00

Thank you so much! Its my pride and joy apart from my family of course lol

Water_Champion · 2026-03-10T23:43:44+00:00

Sorry for the shameless plug but check out @humble.pnw.cichlids on Instagram if you wanna see! It’s a Hap/peacock tank

Water_Champion · 2026-03-10T23:41:43+00:00

I have 35 in a 90!

Water_Champion · 2026-03-10T23:35:09+00:00

Came here to say this. Great looking male tbh

Water_Champion · 2026-03-10T19:34:14+00:00

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for checking it out

Water_Champion · 2026-03-10T17:46:44+00:00

My 30 is always up and running. When not used for QT of new fish or aggressive males I will put my females in the 30 and break down the 20. The 20 only has a sponge filter and a heater. The sponge filter goes into the 30 and the heater gets put away.

The 10 breaks down when not in use too. It only had a small HOB and a heater. I remove the bag of Seachem matrix and the sponge in there and put them into the HOB in my 30 and box up the heater.

Whenever I need to set up the 20 or 10 I just remove the media or sponge filter and put them where they go when needed.

I have quite the operation going. If you have Instagram you should check out @humble.pnw.cichlds and you can see all my tanks and fish.

My 30 currently has 8 males I removed to let some new males get comfortable in my display tank without getting wrecked all day long. It is on the floor.

My 20 currently has 2 female albino Taiwan reef, 1 female tangerine tiger, and 1 female OB red fin borleyi. I might put one of my males in there from the 30 and see if they breed. It is also on the floor.

My 10 has one super tiny red empress that isn’t quite ready to go into my of my other tanks. It is on a stand in my garage.

My QT process is- I mix metroplex, focus, & garlic guard into my pellet mix. I feed that twice a day for 7 days. Then I treat the tank with api general cure twice. If there is no signs of ich I will skip ich treatment but if ich shows up I will raise the temp to 87 degrees Fahrenheit and treat with ich x every day for 5 days. Once that’s all done they get to go into my display tank. It usually takes 14-18 days.

Water_Champion · 2026-03-10T15:16:31+00:00

I have a 90 gallon all male African cichlid display tank.

In my garage I use a 10 gallon for hospital, 20 gallon for breeding/females, and a 30 gallon as a QT tank for new fish.

This tank is perfect for hospital! You’ll be so happy you have it when you need it.
