very nice video.. don't listen to any of the negative comments you got because your tank rocks. As far as the rocks not being smooth.. it does not matter, especially with the fish you got in there. As far as keeping a wild stock, it is good because if it was not for the breeders, then there would not be any tank raised fish. Breeders are also provide these fish for generations to come, especially the rare ones.

WOW one of the Nicest Ive seen On YOU TUBE done the way we all Think is proper GOOD JOB ... I have A FRONTOSA CALVUS 55gallon My self for my African tank...
You have a very good sense of depth and layout on your rocks. To me, a tank that has a nice layout of rocks is essential. You've given it a great 3D effect and when you give your fish lots of nooks and crannies and places to adventure into makes the tank way far more interesting. You never know where the fish are gonna dodge in and out from. Great Job!!
man I can't bring myself to pay for rocks. I found a chunk my friend said was limestone so I checked the USGS website and they said there was a huge deposit in that creek and I've gotten about 250 lbs. of nice limestone out of there since.
want to ask wat other cichlids i could keep wid ma 4 pink baby convicts?? i want to keep african cichlids wid dem plz give me names also scientifc names n i hav 22 gallon tank
Hahahahahaha.. dude you're such a douchebag and no one cares who's fish can eat someone elses fish.. lol... Nice tank BTW.. I have a 29 Gallon with about 12 in there.. doing really good.. and I just got an 8 Gallon Oceanic Biocube and plan on adding fish tommorow.. saltwater :)
ok you want it you got it, I have 2 4 foot Ball Pythons, a 8 foot Red Tailed Boa, a Milk Snake, 2 Tokay Geckos, a 2 foot Water Dragon, 2 European Green Toads, a Bull Frog, 3 cats, a dog, a 30gallon tank with 2 Electric Blue Cichlids, and a 120gallon with 2 Fire Eels and 2 Oscars(just got one today), and I ordered a Golden Nugget Pleco today also. I plan to put a Red Tailed catfish in the 120 as well but I have not being able to find one.
lol just moving into your post here, thats a fair amount of pets right there !, nah seriously im envious ive currently got a 150 litre american cichlid setup about 20 fish nothing above 6 inches geophagus / convicts / firemouths etc, damn sorry envious as im thinking of getting a 120 gall plus tank as id like to own possibly fire eels / oscars / maybe jags or dovii, anyways peace im envious of what u got right there ,
That's cool. I would love to have a Cichlid tank but I just ran out of room for tanks today. Apart from all of the other pets I had to get a Bearded Dragon so I was like I am getting one. So I got a 40gallon breeder and some cool stuff for him(a baby Beardie) and set it up. Cost me around $200
i agree with having smooth rocks for these fish but here is where it gets different. only the wild ones would need smooth rocks to feel more at home. but the more you breed them the different needs they will need. lace rock is more than fish for tank breed cichlids and also for the wilds, but the wilds will act slightly different anyways, plus you shouldnt be taking wilds anyways. tank breed are far less detrimental to there natrual population than the wilds being taken
@tetramincolor2000 : If you want to save the frontosa, first tell the locals who catch 1000s of them on hook and line in the lake every year to stop being detrimental to the environment. Aquarists have ZERO impact in comparison and inject 1000x the cash in the local economy compared to a fish that is caught for food. Stop the PC nonsense. Use your head.
do you just search aquarium videos all day and comment about sharp rocks? The rocks in his tank aren't even sharp.. fish aren't that dumb. The only rocks that I've ever heard of causing a problem are lava rock, which usually look like shit anyway.
right! they're not Frontosa, they're "dwarf frontosa"....Neolamprologus tretocephalus are also commonly called dwarf frontosa! cmon i'm sure you knew that!
some of you may not think that it's overcrowded but what you guys are missing is that, Frontosa's doesn't stay that size 4 a long time, they're actually a very fast grower so once these frontosas start getting big then you might start thinking twice...nonetheless these fishes are NO JOKE, I'm sure they must have cost you a fortune! Very nice and pretty expensive collection...try puttin' some plants around,adds some hiding places 4 smaller cichlids.
Thats actualy an outdated view that is innacurate. Clever decor, correct tank mate choice and understock is the best way to keep most rift valley cichlids. You stock lightly and properly and you will notice the kind of behaivour cichlids would express in thie wild. As it is in this vid is just a free for all.
i dont think its overstocked tho at all its just perfect looks like a lot of room back where the rocks are just wouldnt put any more nice setup and fish =]
Looks overstocked to me. I much prefer a lightly stock Tang tank with one or two species. That to me looks frantic and messy. Fish will probably be stressed to. Id be interested to hear your nitrate reading? Love the decor though, nicely done. :-)
hey i have 10 cichlids and most of them are electric yellows and i just added a female electric yellow and now there all aggresive, how do i stop it... please help me
how big is you tank? next time you clean your tank...take all your fishes out of the tank(make sure they're seperated 1 by 1, after you cleaned your tank and get the water conditioned...put all your fishes back together in the tank, it should calm them down, if it doesn't then you probably need a bigger tank.
people having a go at a tank like this are insane yeah trophius go best in a species only tank but if u want them in a community it will work and if it doesn' you eill no for next time there are no rules to fish keeping there are warnings but do what u want nice tank man
I'm sorry to say so, but there is waay!! To much fish in your tank. A 125l Tank is enough to home a Compressiceps couple... I can count at least 7 Leleupi's and there are so much compressiceps in your tank I can't even count them. It's an impressive sight I have to admit.. but your tank is way overpopulated!
How large is this tank? There's so many fish. I think it's a little too overstocked for a Tanganyikan. Malawis it might be ok, but yeah this is a little too much. Anyhow, these are nice fish. Maybe get another tank or a bigger one then it'd be a lot nicer! :)
yes, but when spawning (in AQ can happen every day) they need a looot of space, and a julidochromis pair can easily kill an another fish (even in a 300liter AQ)
and in the AQ the fish can't swim away... what happens then? :S
