I’ve been in love with my full grown aquarium acara cichlids. My 125g aquaroum is perfect for them. I’ve been feeding New Life Spectrum brand foods and they LOVE them. • Additional Fish Tank Mumbo Jumbo: • Ammonia has to be allowed to build up before a cycle can establish itself. If there’s nothing for the ammonia eating bacteria to eat, the population of them won’t grow. Okay. I have fish as the ammonia source, is this what you’re referring to? What’s the best way to start the cycle. • My Electric Blue Acara Care Guide • • Species Care: Electric Blue Acara Cic... • Hey, your best bet is to hold off on water changes and treatment for a while, the fish will produce ammonia, and your good bacteria colony will grow. Right now you’re essentially doing an ‘artificial cycle’ by doing so many water changes and treatments. Your ammonia will probably spike, and I’d still keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t go beyond 2ppm for now, since fish-in cycles are tricker because you want to keep those fishies alive! However, being a bit more hands off is your best bet. • Once you see your ammonia rise, you’ll want to keep an eye on it and continue to test, but generally still be hands off. Do a small water change when it rises beyond 2/2.5 ppm. I’m the kind of person to be very hands-off with my cycles, since they generally work themselves out on their own, and the more naturally built up cycles also seem to be less prone to crashing. • Okay. So. One thing you can do is if you have a hospital tank, set it up and put a filter in it. Then buy some pure ammonia. (Pure ammonia. Look up how to make sure it doesn’t have cleaners). And start a fishless cycle in the hospital tank/Tupperware/anything you can. Then you aren’t risking your fish, and can put the small filter on the big tank when you’ve got it cycled, or at least started. That should help jumpstart the cycle at the very least. Just be very careful about dosing the small tank so you don’t kill the bb and you should be fine. • If your tank cycles before the fishless one does, awesome! You can stick that one in there for an extra in case you need the hospital tank, and get a lot of bacteria in it. If not, then it’s worth the trouble so your fish have less stress and your cycle gets going easier. Another way since you have the fish tank going and if you don’t want to dose ammonia, you can use tank water when you have to change it because of the ammonia. It isn’t perfect since it’s not as concentrated, and you’d have to have something to hold the water in so you always have a supply of ammonia while doing it and don’t accidentally starve your bacteria, but you’re less likely to overdose them that way. • Okay, I have a serious question guys. I'll try my best not to make this too long but if you need any more details to help answer my question just let me know. • I have a strigatus AKA (Sunset Hap). I've had it for almost 9 months. I got it when it was size 2 it's been living in my 125g 6-foot aquarium. It is now about 5.5 turns out it's a female. • So I got a 2.5 to 3 looks like a promising strigatus male. • Big question LOL • When I put it in my 125 gallon tank will he be more aggressive to the other already aggressive female that's already in the 125? Should I wait till the juvenile gets a little bigger? Even still how would they react to each other? I'm a noob... • Thanks in advance guys.
