how do u get such vibrant colours out of these fish?? is it from the particular fish food u feed them or from the dark background which shows up the colours? i have been recently tryin to get intense colouring out of my fish but it doesnt seem to be workin suggestion would be really good thanks.
You seem to know a lot about Cichlids, so I was hoping you could help me. I want to purchase Pseudotropheus Acei and yellow labs. Do you think these two Cichlids would be able to live in the same tank? I have a 70 gal. tank and I was hoping to buy 2 of each or 5 of each (1 male 4 females). Will they be able to survive together? thanks.
I think it would be best to put 5 of each together to spread the agression. Acei becomes rather large for 70 gallon, maybe you should choose Maingano or such.
@kohinoor786 itl work for sure, i breed acei yellow tail and yellow labs and demasoni all in the same tank, numbers are 12 demasoni, 1m/2f yellow lab and 1m/3f acei
what is the place that you are getting these fish?? I used to get mine from armkes, but it has since changed to daves rare african cichlids!!! But your fish are the best maybe that i have ever seen in the hobby!!
Nice workrock.. Did you do it yourself or buy it custom to the tank or what? And how big is the tank, it looks huge. One of the best iv ever seen seriously. Good job mate.
by far the best looking tank ive seen....did you get your fish online? theres so many fish in this tank that ive been looking for but cant find in local fish stores
Really good selection! I've got three questions-first: What's the blue male at 0:50-Buccho. lepturus? and second: wich sticks do you use exactly? i take JBL Stick M. Do you use any kind of colourfood sticks? I ask cause i've never seen such a blue like your cichlids show-amazing! and third: what kind of lightning tubes do you use? Thank you forward for your answers....
At 0:50 you can see the Boccuchromis Rhoadesii and at 1:38 you can see the Buccochromis Lepturus. At the moment I also have the Buccochromis Heterotaenia in this tank (not in the video). The sticks I feed are from Aquatic Nature Excel (containing natural astaxanthine and spirulina for color). My lightning tubes are from Aqualight ( 3 x aquastar and 3 x grolux).
awesome predator tank..does anyone know where i can find lepidiolamprologus lemarii a rare predator from Lake Tanganyika it would be a great addition to my 265 gal predator tank??
I just came back from Malawi, from a lake-side resort. Yes, you can see these beautiful cichlids in great numbers in nature. Malawi people eat the bigger ones- 8-10 inches+ which are called "Chambo". Nice white flesh- best battered and deep fried but a little bony.
I agree they are beautiful, but they are also to vulneralble for my tank. I kept the Lethrinus sp. Red Cap Itungi in a spare tank and had some fry of it.
anyway nice bad azz chiclid tank my chiclid tank is nothing right now its in a 34 gallon .but im going to make a chiclid tank just like yours just not the rock wall more likea 60 gallon with decor and sand or pebels with caves and stuff. my pleco jaws will be in their with the chiclds,and soon geting more colorful chiclids.
can you recommend some mildy aggressive cichlids for a 55g? this is what i have already: 2 Yellow labs 2 Afra Cichlids 1 peacock cichlid 2 electric blue johannis 1 red tailed shark 2 bumble bee cichlids 1 eureka red cichlid 1 demonasi cichlid 2 azureus cichlid i would like to keep about 25-30 and i only have 14 so please tell me if my combonation is good and name some other, hardy and semi aggressive cichlids. awesome tank!
Awsome set up. How large is your tank? I have a few haps in my 75 gallon. They are still small and medium size. Check it out and give me some feedback. Since I took my vid, I have gotten a Ruby Red Peacock, Red empress, Electric Blue Alhi, Tropheus Bemba, Sunshine Peacock, and a Lwanda Peacock.
Just if you´re interested I have always preferred the JBL NOVO RIFT. It´s very well known and frequently used here in Germany. Preferred to feed Tropheus varieties and wide range of Malawi fish (inclusive predators). Maybe you´d like to check it out!
ah nice! What kind are these and why they are not on the video? You´re right they can fit as long the water is in good condition. That´s the case with your tank anyway!!
maculiceps, anagenys, rostratus, livingstoni, venustus... my opinion is that they have growm way to much in hight... that normaly comes from feeding with to much protein.
Especially with the predators it is said when they are overfed they have more trouble with getting offspring. Did you see a particular fish that was not looking good to u?
I mean I don't want them to have a growth arrears, like you often see. I feed them mussels, shrimps, smelt, krill, artemia and red mosquitoe larves for 50% and for the other 50% pallets and protein granulates.
Do you think I overfeed to heavy or just a little bit. I think my fish look rather healthy. They are also spawning very regularly.
I have never had any deformed fish. I already keep Malawi's for 25 years.
Thanks anyway for your reaction. I appreciate your comments.
