the fish make it look small lol

Or is it because it is small . Judging by the picture with size of poly tank seems to be 48"L. But it truly Is a fine specimen!

My fish life is sparked up with Polys

Surprised that RTC hasn't eaten the poly like a slim Jim. That tank has a massive bio load, good luck!

It is a 48" tank. The 180 gallon cracked and we are working on a 300 gallon. This is a temporary housing situation for them until the other tank is ready.

Oh... and it is running 2 deep water air pumps. The redtail will only eat shrimp tilapia green beans and algae wafers. He's a picky eater.

Water change is finally done. Must admit I had him triple check the intake valves lol. Fish and I are much happier now.

Okay need ideas... Chelsea still won't eat. I am very concerned. Her color is fading out and she just looks very weakened. If it were one of my smaller cichlids I would syringe feed, but even weakened Chelsea is too much to try to hold for that.

If she truly is hungry and theres food in the tank I think it'll find it

I'd personally say that level of bubles at the top of the tank suggests a lot of protein left in the water. Test your water and see what the tests are saying.

Good Luck!
