Just a Foolish Saint!
just wondering how much maintenance you do on your ciclid tank. All I do is change the pads in my bio wheel filter and top of the tank. no water changes or anything, but the parameters stay great. I guess there is enough bacteria in the 4 inch deep bed and 35 pounds of texas holey rock to keep up the 10 fish and two plecos. I havent lost a fish in three years which included a move just wondering because everything you read whines about persistant water changes.
When I had ciclids I had to do 20% every week! at any given time I had 12 adults 6 mating pairs and their young.......which was any where from 50 to 300 fish in a 90 gallon tank. They trashed it! I had to tear it down 100# worth of rock and plants to catch the babys. the real job was to find them homes!
