My African Cichlid

[lucarox123]

Look at my channel for fish videos and sub.

[kikimbrown]

I thought the driftwood was a T-Rex

[Tuner311091]

Wood like a dick

[jrob9inson]

nice piece of drift wood looks good

[cuthysmalz2]

your wood looks like a hand digging into the gravel

[tankyjoe123]

That wooden piece looks like a comodo dragon or something



[ndse8]

nice tank check mine out

[Eminemfollower89]

Dude you can get alot nicer cichlids those are petco specials!! haha just sayin

[Sprunchy1]

i have two african cichlids in a 166 gallon tank and a petstore employee told me it was to small...... wtf

[TheStelzy]

@Sprunchy1 all depends on the kind of chiclids you got because some cichlids can become monsters

[XXTheCutiePieXX]

beautiful

[meeestersaaarmo]

looks like a deathtrap. not enough fish

[BEEFanCHEESE7]

ugly

[RudyAguilarii]

what should i feed my cichlids?

are blood worms a staple diet?

[devilclio]

external filters are a win with cichlids there dirty fish

[tony4qts]

The post before me was right on most yet rude about it. However. . . if you want to use Bubble wands/bars because you like the way they look in your tank then that's cool, it's YOUR tank. as for the drift wood, you can buy fake drift wood if you like the way it looks but the post B4 mine is right it will lower your Ph and they do like a higher Ph. If you like the gravel use the gravel so what. Dude B4 me act's like you should have it flown in with rocks from Africa. relax and enjoy your tank!

[RYANLAVIGNE1]

@tony4qts much agreed there is no pattened way to set up an aqurium. bubble wands are not useless they agetate the surface which releases a chemical reaction on the surface (co2 & o2) and they keep water moving in a tank .... but one thing i have noticed in this hobby is you come across alot of people who claim they know everything when they dont know anything about the hobby.....check out my video when you get a chance.

[jmfdizog]

Upgrade from the undergravel filter

Get rid of the bubble wand

Change out gravel for play sand

Exchange the drift wood for more rock

Paint the back black

[LethalResistanz]

OK boss.

[jmfdizog]

1. UnderGravel filters are Neaderthal technology

2. Bubble wands are worthless

3. Sand is natural in their environment

4. Drift wood lowers pH, Mbuna prefer high pH

5. A dark background lowers fish stress level, therefore they will look better

Leave the bubbles, gravel and goofy backgrounds for the Goldfish, Mollies, Platys and Guppies

[CorbinDCreptiles]

@jmfdizog YOUR AN ASS HOLE !

[coggie88]

i have an undergravel filter, cud u please tell the faults wiv them except not veing able to grow plants, ive notced not many ppl have got undergravel filters lol

[Deadstrange1]

thats a cool tank

[Haehnel25]

very nice.....

[A7XJMK]

is it ok if i put two cichlids in my tank with tiger barbs, and angels??

[MrRude01]

no way they all r tertorial

plz dont they will go ape shit on each other

[Jamese3]

you shouldnt have barbs with angels and i have tiger barbs with 3 malawis they get along fine depends how big your tank is dude

[TactileIndicators]

no no no. having said that though, try it out. if they die... don't do it again :)

[acchorsefreak]

which fish should i get. a dwarf gourami or a zebra danio.

[blackchiny]

Me personaly not a big fan of community fishes. They kinna boring to watch and the are not that colorful compare to aggresive fishes...but if i had to choose from the 2, it would be da ZEBRA DANIO. get like a whole school of them.

[TheMelis80]

@blackchiny

Zebra Danios are cute, but nothing compared to the cichlids

[V3nomStrength]

@acchorsefreak yeah i agree, zebra danios are fun to watch. i have 5 giant ones in my predator tank for now... in 6 months they wont be there ^.^ fun while they lasted tho

[lucasoildavid]

hey are thoes plants real? by the way your thank looks real nice

[tehrcdude]

nahh they dont look too real to me

[blackchiny]

Nah u never want to get real plants with these fishes...lol they'll destroy them "in a heart beat"

[devilclio]

@blackchiny ive got a tank full off malawis if you get thick leaved plants and root them well they dont tutch them

[seraphHHC]

they say drift wood is not the best thing for a African Cichlid tank. because it will low the ph of the tank and they like a higher ph

[blackchiny]

its Actually not real...so im not sure im too worried about that....

[iGotMetal]

@blackchiny haha i have the same fake wood peice in my tank. after my tank cycles im considering using my tank as a cichlid tank so i would either put that in the center or on one side, and put rock cover on the side of it...are cichlids are to keep?

[TheStelzy]

@iGotMetal some cichlids you can pick up cheap others will cost you a pertty penny it all depends on you and how far into fish keeping you want to get

[blackchiny]

THANKS DIDNT KNOW THAT!!

[aquariosmaster]

Lindo. O enfeite no centro do aquário é uma pedra ou um tronco de madeira?

[professorxox]

Nice tank...check mine out too when you get a chance and leave comments

[tropicalfishguy]

I have that same driftwood piece, got it from petsmart, check out my video

[firesnail1]

You don't see too many underground filter setups anymore...at least you have a hang on filter too.

[ariel4more]

[kingkush0]

Niceee. RATE MY TANK TOO!!!!%%%%%%%%%%%

[chachiman24]

[AKAMrWeirdo]

[iIFAET]

[plecomeko]

[blackchiny]

Regular Enhance Color Fish Flakes for Cichlids.

[pdasch0]

that piece of drift wood looks like the cloverfield monster

[juan8armenta]

Thats a nice tank.. I love cichlids

[whipper0]

doesnt look overairated to me... and woi2ld gravel filters cost more u know and it probably came with pump

[spino14]

nice aqua and nice fishes good man.

[woi2ld]

morons use only filtered pumps , UNDERGRAVEL FILTERS are more like NATURES cleaning as water passes over and through the gravel. I've never seen a swimming pool filter in clear lake or pond........by the way , nice tank it's just over airated that's why your fish are going crazy.........

[blackchiny]

I do Have A Whisper HOB filter on there.

[jerreed23]

what kind of filter do you use?

[blackchiny]

Whisper Power Filter 70 gal

[gedesoft]

do u use natural or artificial plants?

[blackchiny]

i use artificial plants.

[2004exrider]

Ive never had a problem with my undergravel filter? My water is crystal clear, and the bacteria cleans the water as it's sucked through.

[SoundsFantastic]

with out some form of particle filtering the UGF will never be as good as HOB or canister type filters. I have seen UGF's used with reverse flow pumps but a HOB filter was used also. The reverse flow helped get the settled waste and excess food off the bottom so it can be removed by the other filter.

[xbeckieboox]

lovley tank like your bubble curtain.

[SoundsFantastic]

i dont see how people like undergravel filters, they dont work at all... "oh you should really get them they work so much better" yeah all they do is let poop on the bottom, then bring it to the top, then shoot it back through the carbon into the water again...never ending cycle.

[dachaun]

eh chiney Bwoy...how u idle so man
