Ordering Delhezis today!

Just skip to the last page and I compiled progress pics. Not totally recovered yet, but will be soon.



How long has the tank been running, and has it been stable? Get some live plants now if not, even if you don't intend to keep the tank planted.

Yeah, the jags might bully the other cichlids... Get the 75 going asap!

Oh I'm selling the jags. The tank has been cycled since December 1st. It's been stable the entire time. I'm pretty good at keeping everything alive because I'm so ADD about all of my parameters but I've never taken two fish out and replaced them with 9 fish before so I was a little worried.

Can't wait to see pics of everyone!

I can't wait to show them off. They're supposed to be in around 10am so I'll get them acclimated and maybe take some photos Thursday.

I might take what little fish I do have out of one of my 20Ls and put the male jag in it and set up the 75 for it. I bought these guys from Jeff Rapps and they're just such great quality fish and I hate to let them go.

OK, cool - I would get plants to be on the safe side since you're adding so many. Floating plants, or you can chuck water sprite in there without planting it. Or java fern. (If you don't already have plants.)

Not gonna crash the tank. If you have sufficient bio media the bb will multuple and things should stabilize. Test your water the 1st few days/weeks.

Hkw long thks jags been in there ? You may wanna remove them before adding the new fish. Chances are they claimed the tank and new comers will be infringing on their territory.

Nice pickups btw

I have 2 large amazon swords and 2 large anubias. I have 3 other large anubias in my 20s I could put in there and run up to petco and buy more. I was planning on doing daily 10% water changes also.

I have a TON of media in those two SunSun 550 gph canisters. I put so much in each of them. They've been in there since mid December and I feed them at least twice daily. They're really dirty fish. I do biweekly and sometimes once a week water changes.

Also, thanks!

Edit: I'm definitely removing them 1st. They're crazy aggressive.

You might be fine. Do.you have a decent amount of bio in the filters ?

I wont get a 12" ornate with a 5" del. I rather have the opposite, i had a bad expirience with it come to a bigger size ornate.

Just ordered the following:

2 3" Dels
3 3" ornates
2 2" chocolate cichlids
2 1.75" spotted severums

YAY

I'm ordering a drop camera too for my office so i can spy on them at night.

Just thought of a problem though... I only have 2 5" Jaguar cichlids in this 125. Are all of these fish going to crash my cycle?

yes but I have about 40 shiners in it before that

I let it cycle for a month and a half and then put the Jags in.
