I have a mini bowl 5g at work in a warehouse. Its been up for about 2 months. I have a 25 gal heater kept about 78º, a small whisper hob filter, a huge "rock" furniture for hiding, nice layer of blue gravel, a plastic plant, and a banana plant. the banana first lost two leaves, but has sinse thrived and produced two huge leaves, and a new sprout now.
I have 3 african cichlids, a red tail shark and a rainbow shark. pardon my ignorance on breeds... the cichlids are: yellow guy with black and white horizontal stripes, a grey one with tiger like stripes, and a grey one with white edges on his fins. the third cichlid and the rainbow shark are the smallest, while the rest are all about 2-2½ inches long.
I've been feeding them flakes in the morning and blood worms in the late afternoon. they didn't seem to like the cichlid pellets. Light goes on at 6am, and off by 3:30 pm. I add water as needed, gently rinse the filter weekly and have done a partial water change twice.
I think they're doing great, but am sure I could be doing better for them.
