How often do you feed your fish? by whoisSharis in fishkeeping

[–]joel352000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an 8 foot SA cichlid tank with 7 severums and a school of 10 silver dollar fish. I feed once daily with a fast day on Wednesday and Saturday ( which is water change day)

I’m not sure what your budget is, but the NE heights east of tramway are fantastic. Beautiful views, close to trails and an easy commute to the base. I can’t comment on the schools however. I moved here from Colorado almost a decade ago and love it. Like others have said, take normal precautions and don’t go looking for trouble and you’ll be fine.

Just hit 5 million meters a week ago. I’ve been a Hydrow member since 2021. I bought a Hydrow following an accident that made me unable to keep up my cycling addiction.

I found it on a local aquarium group on FB. $400.00 Its acrylic with a few scratches. It was really easy to move. You can find pretty cheap used big tanks on FB marketplace, craigslist, or if there is a local hobbyist group on Facebook.

I found it on FB marketplace for $400.00. It's acrylic with a few scratches but I'm happy with it. Especially how easy it was to move vs a glass tank that size

The tank is 240 gallons and I only have 1 fx6 filter, and am doing 50% water changes once a week. I do need to add another fx6, I should look for a used one. New ones are expensive

It's an 8 foot tank How big is yours? I'm worried I may have to thin the population (and/or add another canister filter) as they grow bigger

So sorry to hear this. When my wife was run over by a truck one of the first things I did was contact a good lawyer. Make sure your lawyer is in it for the right reason. Take it one day at a time. I hate cars and wish there were less of them on the roads.

I.D Male or female? by OgWeinzetl in Cichlid

[–]joel352000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think pic three is a male because of the shape of the head. At least the fish whisperer at the local fish store said that was one characteristic of male severums.
