No problem! We were all there.

you can see them in the back. There almost an inch

 

[erikmoseley]

Cool what did you put again? Labs and socolofi? What plants?

 

[Dooboedoo12]

2 banana 2 arc and 1 vallisneria. All growing really well so far. I just have to find a rock to attach the arc's to so they hold better

My fish are too small to eat their food. What do I do now ?

 

[erikmoseley]

Feed veggie flakes. I use these along w tiny NLS Thera A pellets

 

[Dooboedoo12]

Will either of these work with yellow labs and socolofi?

 

[Dooboedoo12]

That's basically what I put in last night. I'm Gna put more in today and try to mash up the other food with a hammer or something to make It smaller

 

[erikmoseley]

Either of those would be great w labs! I have a couple flavus now. I would order a group of each!

 

[Dooboedoo12]

My only prob is that the labs are less than an inch big and daves rare fish are 1.5 - 2 inches already. Id have to let my fish grow unless there's another good site

 

[erikmoseley]

That's fine to add. Just request some of smaller ones. They'll cooperate with u when u order. Either way its not an issue. I just added 1.5 to 2 in fish today with some that are pushing 4 and lots other that are in between.

 

[Dooboedoo12]

Gotcha. Everyone keeps making them seem like there vicious. I had an oscar who I used to feed fish bigger than these guys so I was worried

 

[Dooboedoo12]

An update for u guys

 

[Dooboedoo12]

So I'm already having signs of a green algae bloom. I just turned on my uv filter and I'm going to start leaving the light on less. I can't do too much less tho for my plants

 

[AtoZ Cichlids]

Can I just say, I love the green light in the cave. I might look into a few little color LEDs for my tanks to leave on at night. What's a good brand to look at and what's a good color to leave on at night aside from red. Or maybe a color changing one. Can anyone make a suggestion that not to pricey for me to look into? Also I love the combination of cichlids you have going on. There really shouldn't be much aggression which is nice. Keep us posted on your algae bloom. No one loves algae great tank!

 

[Dooboedoo12]

I used my hydor light. I took it off my decoration and out it in the cave. They love it and it makes my ceiling look like a fish tank at night. You see the green on the ceiling and the fish swimming infront. I've had it for over a year and the light is still perfect. I dno bout a color changer. I think it becomes to tacky. My theme is to make it as real as I can in the tank so if I get a light green makes it have a really nice glow inside

 

[AtoZ Cichlids]

Yea it looks good. I like the idea of the ceiling, that's gotta look good. Pretty smart mate. And what I meant by a color changer is one that you can pick the color. But thanks to you I might be looking into getting one lol

 

[AtoZ Cichlids]

Has your algae toned down a bit?

 

[Dooboedoo12]

Nop as long as I can see the fish I'm happy. I'm hoping it will just fix itself sinces a reasonably new tank
