[leoreavis]

How do u keep ur background clean?

[twogunn1]

That's a real peaceful set up. What size is that tank? And is that lace rock?

[GRRjammm]

so are those rocks made from styrofoam?

[squidyboy0]

That was a beautiful tank and you filmed it excellently. I liked how it started with the yellow cichlid and backed up to feature the whole tank.

[grimmreapo]

Nice tank holms!

[TDWP1804]

i wish my 80 gal looked like this...

[216hotchocolate]

[necromancer420]

[skylinewolf79]

[livelovelaugh297]

This tank is gorgeous! Your cichlids look so happy.. and lively!

[theidiotech]

where did you get those rocks? such an amazing tank!

[kulinat]

How do you keep the tank clean with so many fish?

[jenpete08]

Beautiful tank! How did you attach those plants to the rock? thanks

[CaptainRumi]

So, the backround is carved out from styrophoam and covered in cement. I guess it's painted in black, isn't it? And what about the foreground? Are they real rocks?

Amazing job btw

[bimusicalking]

you can you send me the scimatics for that mold so that i could make it

[DPhelpfan]

Beautiful setup, Thanks for sharing, after not having a tank for about 10 yrs, used to have two 55's I just bought a 60 gallon hex. Now I'm torn as to which way I want to go with my new setup. One of my 55's was a african cichlid tank and the other was angels and neon tettra's. Both are beautiful setups, love the serenity of the angels, but love the colors of the cichlids, just wish they weren't so aggresive.

[jamesJulian1]

awesome never seen that before.

[THStrojan22]

awesome dude.very sweet setup.

[zipperhead53]

Very peaceful to watch. Well decorated!

[kempbow]

All around freaking awesome tank!!!!!!!

[Axolotlvriend]

Nice tank. The rocks are realy nice.

[serbianplayer69]

thats really beautiful fsetup and i am really intrested in having a display like that im a big fan of a natrual habitat rather the cartoony look and i was woundering if u could make a "how too" video on how to make a display lk tht or if you know where i might find guidlines in making that kind of display im sure my yellow lab and cobalt blue would love sumthing like that

[AugustousKing]

This is probably my favorite fish video on youtube....amazing

[aussie114]

Absolutely amazing looking Aquarium and fish

[RudyAguilarii]

what do you feed your cichlids?

can blood worms be a staple diet?

[AvengerDdubJames]

@RudyAguilarii Blood worms cause a disease known as Malawi Bloat, only use it as a treat

[RYANLAVIGNE1]

cool background.

[EverydayMeow]

wow such a lovely tank! wish mine was like that! if i were a fish i would want to live there

[bendydriver]

Sweeeeeeeeeet Tank feller!!!

[somecallmedaniel16]

such a beautiful tank! a great array of colored fishes, all look healthy and happy! :D

[thaze95]

How expensive that tank

[thaze95]

nice! what that thing caust?

[tbhpower]

hey beautiful aquarium, i got a 60 gal cichlid tank. i was wondering if you ever had like a smoke white substance on the bottom, i went away for the weekend and came back and the water was dirty and this stuff was all over the bottom. i know the water cant get that dirty in 3 days, so maybe i thought they were mating or something. if you have any idea what that stuff is ide appreciate if u let me know or post a link to a forum where i can ask. thanks a lot

[alanutd]

where did you get those stones

[jamil7860]

what kind of substrate did u use???

[Born2LOSExBuilt2WIN]

QUICK QUESTION: is it OK 2 let these African Cichlids grow wit' some Tiger Oscars, 'cause i just bought me 3 Baby Oscars (they 'bout tha size of some feeder fish, well a'lil bigger then that) but i was just seein'...

[Supraman353]

@Born2LOSExBuilt2WIN I had a small tiger oscar with a couple of these. As soon as the oscar felt it was big enough. It ate them.

[jkennedy1007]

wow great tank and intro to it

[MrMAMAMELA305]

by far best cichlid tank ever!!!!!!!

[adon161]

i never post comments..but this tank is insaaaannnneeeee!!! good job man

[aquariumwatcher1995]

how many african cichlids can fit in a 55 gallon tank

[AugustousKing]

alright thank for the help AxRhea88 I thought you were right because I have 2 males just bye them selves and they do perfactly fine even when the albino red zebra is more than twice the size of my golden cichlid

[uncfan82930513]

i got three about a month ago, and i have been feeding them cichlid sticks, but they havent eaten since day one, and now they all are dead. what was the matter with them

[AxRhea88]

@uncfan82930513; Well either your water was messed up or they didn't see the food, couldn't get to the food, or it was too big to eat. Feed them smaller bits of food or take the food in between your fingers, and dip it under the water then let go. Some fish don't eat from the top of the water if you just sprinkle it on the surface, you have to actually submerge it so it flies right across their face, plain as day. Goodluck.

[AugustousKing]

Is it true that your not supposed to put more than one male African cichlid in a African cichlid tank? And that the rest of the fish should be females?.....Hey nice tank and fish and vid by the way

[AxRhea88]

@AugustousKing; Not true at all. I have an all-male African Cichlid tank and it's perfectly fine. It's when you put 1 female in with all those males, then you have problems. So either have an all male tank, or 1M:3F(3 females to every 1 male), to reduce aggression between the females when the male is..horny haha.

[apauln]

tank is nice, video was done perfect.

i hate when people try to get every angle every postion, zoom in, zoom out, left right left right. your was excellent...

[apauln]

BG is amazing

[aurunxx]

really nice tank !!! beautifull backround !!! awesome ....;)

[KG1120]

awesome tank man..much respect

[sangyuni96]

its like those tanks in the aqurium

cool

[UshouldvPRAYDmor]

Your tank is incredible, mind telling me how you did the background?

[dadecountyalan]

5/5

CHECK MY FISH OUT PLZ

[moveEcritik]

Amazing Looking Fish tank

[pipperoooo]

Awesome! Is your background made of real rocks or the styrofoam DIY with cement? Very nice! I have seen other backgrounds but they don't have caves. Yours is brilliant. Just what they like! Well done!

[lllSUPAFLYlll]

WOW.......Amazing tank. That is definitly one of the best tanks I have ever seen. Very nice tank 5-5*

I'll be posting my new setups soon I went for the natural look. Yours looks very natural!!

[luvmyhondafit]

Cichlids love spirulina!!!

[jeffrenz14]

I'm just starting an african cichlid tank. Can anyone recommend what kind of food they like?

[carrotfarmer1552]

@jeffrenz14 It depends. African cichlids.. Tanganyika? Malawi? Mbuna? Or what kind? The fish' the owner of the video has in his tank are Mbuna, they prefer vegetable food.

[00vampirate00]

@jeffrenz14

african cichlid food lol

they have some made specially for em

but as a snack, im sure the like brine shrimp

[RYANLAVIGNE1]

@jeffrenz14 cichlids main source of food in the wild is algae. any flake food or brine shrimp or spirulina is good for them.

[gnovak1234]

nice setup, what types of rock are those

[Hornadayfan]

That is a stunning aquarium. Well done!

[paulsviplist]

What are you going to do when they all double in size and start fighting?

[Jamese3]

wow!

[tmhypheng]

brilliant tank.

[dadecountyalan]

nice fish, check mine out. i cant wait till they get that big.

[Turbokanamies]

om nom nom! very chill video and a beautiful setup u got going on there :)

[mushroomfart]

do you think 3 bala sharks, 5 clown loach, 3 gouramis, 1 red irian and 3-4 zebra danios would fit in there. theya re all campatible i checked. bye the way nice tank. i like your set up its not to planty or rocky.

[supajuxt]

[welcomegohome]

[myviperrules]

[Supraman353]

By far the MOST amazing aquarium I have ever seen! Could you provide a link to where you learned to do the background like that? If not post it here could you message it to me?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

[adamb94]

what did you seal the background in?

[kisssmyis]

I LOVE IT!! so natural lookinggg.. check out my 60 gallon sometime i'd love to know what you think =)

[ClanUvK]

holy smoke mother @#$%%^^&%^&& :O AMAZING!!!!

[cichlids4everdotcom]

Sweet tank!

[LuckyPeter888]

nice

[DjBennyB608]

Very beautiful tank. What substrate do you use? Is it sand or crushed coral or what? What type of rock did you use for the background and how much did it cost roughly? much thanks!

[uniteduniverse]

Awesome tank... I am hoping to get a tank in the next six months... Hopefully I can design a tankscape as visually stunning and as functional (for the fish) as this tank; looks like the fish actually enjoy living in this tank. ...Anyway, if you can offer any pointers on how you achieved this awesome set up; I'd surely take your advice to heart. ...All the Best.

[defowngs]

What an incredible tank, the background and plants are perfect and the fish are lovely. I like when that big beastly pseudotropheus (?) comes out at 1:04

[sbushie]

i want a cichlid tank like that, thats awesome!!! very nice. :)

[dinomite52095]

nices tank ive ever seen, ive got one 30 gallon convict tank its cool but thats unbelievably cool keep up the great work

[carsane69]

top tank.. jealousssss!

keep up the good work

[CardboardStories]

Wow awesome! first few seconds almost looks like something out of a documentary video.

[cichlidfever]

Unbelievable tank. How did you do the terracing and keep plants growing at different levels? This is fantastic. Well done!

[supajuxt]

seriously,  how did you make that? what materials were used. its amazing.

[winnamann]

WOW, Awesome...you put my 30g to shame. I'll give you $1 mil for your aquarium

[FoondCake]

Amazing, the fish are obviously very happy, and that's not the easiest task to achieve with mbuna! Good job with the tank and kudos for the music.

[mighyevil]

First off man, AWASOME TANK! I just want to know if you made the rocks in the front or if they are real? Also, did you just put those plants in or have they been they for a while? And how do you keep those plants alive?

[TheSlurpey]

Awsome tank, has a great natural feel thats hard to achieve in aquariums. Those are probably some happy fish

[DntBrnDPig]

I love this tank. I am about to a DIY background myself and I am glad I found this first. Did you make the rocks seperate then attach them together with silicon?

[muyrrr1]

holy shit this has to be among the best tanks ive ever seen thats uses mostly rock just wow ....do you breed?

[cancelhot]

one of the best!! keep up the good work. post of video of how you make the background. thanks

[pete11208]

tank rocks

[ArEsZuEs]

awesome tank. i wished mine looked like that.

[rrcoolj354]

what knid of rock is that it's beutiful.

[soaptubby]

sniff* gorgeous

[juan8armenta]

Thats a great tank... Hopefully when i get together my new tank it will look as good as this one

[anamallover]

The rock display is really nice. Did you glue them all together? I cant make out how you did that whole construction, especially the uppper half, since it looks like 1 huge rock. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[bcharlett]

Thanks for the compliment! The background rock is actually a custom built 3D background I made out of styrophome and covered in dyed cement. I found a forum where they discused the process of making a 3D background so I tried it. This is actually the second one I have made and it has turned out even better than the first. A couple of other people keep asking me to make one for them and they would buy it but, so far it is just a fun hobby for me. Hope this helps and thanks again.

[pizcobabe]

@bcharlett Yeah it is a really amazing rock work.. how much would it cost for a tank to look similar to that for you to make for a 200 or so gallon tank?

[Nasser90santour]

@bcharlett .. GOOD JOB! Looks real! :D

[donbosco225]

@bcharlett Which Forum did you get the details from



[nipxd]

are those plants real? can u please tell me what they are, if they are real? Thank you.

[bcharlett]

The plants are real but, I am not sure of the names or species. Most of the plants are tethered to smaller rocks with fishing line.

[2gs425]

Awesome set-up dude... 5*..

[GavN88]

great work. Appsulutely brilliant:)

[bmxrat1]

holy shit! that is the most beautiful fish i have ever seen good work post some pics on ratemyfishtank i bet your gonna be like 1

[CichlidForLife]

Pretty sweet setup man

[egene63]

Looking good Brett. Better keep an eye on that big guy with the vertical stripes, he looks aggressive. Give the boys a big hug for us.

[chrisneaky]

NICE FISH.... LOVE YOUR SET UP !!!

love the plants too...
