Tank size help

What size tank is best for 3 Senegal’s and a del? I currently have a 6 inch Senegal and a 5-6 inch del in a 75 with 2 angles. In a 40 gallon breeder I have 2 2-3 inch Senegal’s waiting to get bigger before joining the other 2. I was thinking a final tank size for all four plus the 2 angles at 125, fully planted. Is that enough? Should I start trying to find bigger options?

Also, side note: does anyone know why my del regrew her external gills and they have stayed?

Prevention foods?

Hello, I have a 4 year old cat that is showing no signs of issues but I want to keep it that way for as long as possible! I plan to switch over to Wuruva as soon as my current supply of cat food is almost up but I also provide a little bit of dry food to my cat because this crazy little munchkin doesn’t do anything when she’s hungry. Like no looks, no noises, no aggression, she may try to lead us to her food bowl but 99% of the time she is distracted by a toy. She only eats when hungry and despite being on a schedule, she doesn’t always consume all the food that’s put down so we have to pick it up early.

Are there any good dry foods that I can provide as supplemental that are low in phosphorus?

More info:
I think I’m genuinely just paranoid, but after doing research, renal disease is incredibly common in cats and I want my baby to be healthy for as long as possible! She’s my first cat and currently only cat as the other two that we’ve tried to introduce her to, She tried to murder after an eight month introduction period. She gets 2 large meals of wet food a day with a little extra water mixed in. She also gets a bowl of dry food, but she doesn’t really eat much of it. Just got done with the vet appointment last week and after testing all of her bloodwork, everything came back as normal. We’re guessing she’s around four but the first year she was alive she was on the streets. She may have been closer to six months when we picked her up. Right now I’m giving her nulo but now I know how high it is in phosphorus. I’ve been blessed with a cat who isn’t picky about food so if there are any other suggestions for wet food, I’m all ears!

Transmission fluid change?

Hello, I have a 2013 Acura RDX that has around 130,000 miles on it. It has never received a transmission fluid change and after talking to my parents, they have never changed the fluid on their cars before. Minor problem is they have the money to replace a car if it goes out. I do not. They are also in IT, not mechanics and no very little about cars. I know that if I get one, I would need to do a drip and not a flush to not disturb a bunch of sediment.

But I guess my main question is, how necessary is it? What are the pros and cons? What does transmission fluid actually do? When going to a mechanic do I need to make sure to specify that I need everything dripped out and not flushed with pressure?
