Aquarium Advice FINatic
I thought i would post a thread on how my Juwel Rio 350 Freshwater is doing. I Recently bravely added 4 baby cichlids. I dont know their exsact type but 3 of them a yellow and 2 are blue and black striped. In the tank i also have 4 clown fish, 2 albino red tailed sharks, 1 red tailed black shark, 3 rainbow tetras, 3 angels, 1 gourami, 1 convict cichlid, 3 black mollies and 2 orange swrodtails (plus about 20 babies in a breeder). I know this seems like a lot of fish reading it out aloud however they seem to be doing fine.
I have however noticed a couple of changes. Firstly 2 of my clown loaches have lost a lot of colour. They are also fighting a lot! I am guessing the colour loss is due to the fight for heirachy?
I have also noticed a couple of slashed fins and white patches on the black mollies. I am worried this is down to the new cichlid even though they are small? I did however anticipate this so i will eventually be getting rid or starting a smaller aquarium for live bearers.
Well all this being said, Water parameters are great. I clean it regularly and change the top filter pad once every 4 - 6 weeks. I'm pretty sure maintenance is kept on top of in this case!
Look forward to your comments
