What kind of paint did you use on the pvc?

Dude. I'd say twice daily max. Your fish may grow a bit faster, but in the long run, they will not live as long. Also, it's generally accepted that any health benefits the fish will receive from extra feedings are negated by the decrease in water quality.
Not trying to lecture, just something I'd be nervous about.
Love the ducks, btw.
Yea, it's usually just 2 to 3 times a day now. 3x on my days off, 2x when I work. I was feeding 4x the first week and a bit I got them.
I also change the water every 3 days on all my tanks. Usually 1/3 if not more.
Also read that more feedings lessen aggression, idk.
Should I try catching the 3 little devils or should I let them grow and try to re-home them on here?

Finally got rid of the last 3 baby evil fish. Now all I have are the nice ones, still no plant eating. Got some Seaweed green to feed them, they don't understand it yet though. Neither do I, it's got a weird texture and shine, lol. 6 babies are in a larger better net in the main tank. Been tossing in plants for them. The red zebra made a little ditch in the front right corner, it's so cool to watch him maintain it.
What are some other peaceful, slightly mean fish I could add? No one on here is selling any fish I want, or at least not several of the different kinds. Guess I will have to buy from a site y'all don't really approve of that, but I cannot afford 10 different shipping payments of $40 and all that mess.
I also do not get why meat eaters are not allowed with them, no food is purely veggie or algae, so why bother? Other than the seaweed stuff.
Fiance wanted some orange blotch peacocks, they were very cool looking. I guess their patterns change as they grow into those more defined spots?

So long as aggression is somewhat matched, I mix mbuna and haps/peacocks freely. Feed them all a quality pellet and don't worry about it.

I agree with Tony on the food question. I know its tough to be patient, but with the club just going through hosting ACA, you have three big reasons why folks dont have fish to sell. They sold them before ACA to free up space, during ACA to free up space and pay for their convention, or are burned out right now and need a mental break. You should plan to come to the September meeting where I am sure there will be a ton of fish for you to choose from. I would take these guys advice regarding which sites are respectable to buy from. The last thing you want is to buy from a site because they were the cheapest, only to get the fish home, have them pass a disease to your whole tank and wipe out all your fish. So last bit of advice, as you are picking up all these fish, you need to quarantine the fish for a couple weeks to make sure they are healthy before adding them to your main tank.
