I love your tank. I just decorated mine in the same manner just because it's so beautiful. I as you are aware cichlids don't live in a salt water environment. But, I assure you they don't know their decorations are reefs. Lol! Enjoy.
You know what guys, he bought and paid for the decorations so he can do whatever he wants. Personally, I have goldfish, and I did a pirate ship and plant theme in mine...but I love what you did. I'm sure the fish don't give a shit one way or the other. They have a large tank and someone taking care of them. Good goin mate.
you cant mix new world cichlids with old world..and you cant put common plecos in 100 gallons one will need at least 75gallons..but im not flaming but it is a beautiful tank none the less but what i said COULD be wrong but go to monsterfishkeepers(dot) com its a good site for the fish/animal community..bye =)
wow so colorful it looks pretty big conpared to my tiny 10 gallon tank i wishe i could get a tank like that but there is no room for it in the house and its hard for me to maintain the tank i have now with homework and all and are thoughs fihs that are sucking onthe glass pleco? they grow to huge lengths
@MrWDTV If u dont like it, dont do it with ur little shitty tank. He paid for it so he can do whatever he wants and you will understand that concept as soon as you earn that first check from youth employment :-).
Personaly i think you pulled the fake corol off. To the novice fish keeper this is as close as you can to making a fresh water tank look salt. And For half the price! I love it.
nice tank, great fish. lose the fake coral. besides coral belongs in the ocean not in fish tanks. i personally don't know why anyone would go the hassle and expense of having a saltwater aquarium. too many beautiful fresh water fish and the freshwater fish for the most part are captive bred.
are you watching the summer olympics as a matter of fact are you watching gymnastics?? I love the fish tank by the way... lots of fishies in there... we only have 6 in our 55 gallon and 2 algae eaters lol
boo on the fake corals andd colorful substrate. The fish look amazing, but I prefer to put africans in a more natural environment: calcified rocks, neutral colors, etc (their colors stand out more). You should try it for your next setup, youll like your fish even more.
needlenose gar at 0:26 . he is planning his next rebelious attack on the cichlids! =) BEST TANK ON YOUTUBE!!!! thats coming from a guy who has been aquarium pro hobbiest for 25 years! cichlds are the best freshwater fish!
okay just wait and check mine as soon as im done...the ornimates are way better than mine no doubt but just wait until i post my vid with everything in it i looks like the ocean and u will shit ur pants
Oscars are a type of Cichlid. I have a cichlid tank all doing good except my Dempseys beat the hell out of the Oscar to show him wats up and whos in charge haha Hes ok now got some stuff to help him heal.
I love your cichlid selection! Very beautiful assortment... but I personally have always been super anti-fake coral in freshwater setups. Other than that, nice tank!
wow, you've manages to get a n alligator gar in your yank with other fish when i tried it it ate all my cichlids! but the cichlids were pretty small and the gar was like 7'' i think
Hi im going to set-up a afican cichlid tank soon and i currently am breeding bristlenose and was wondering if they were bristlenose plecos also whats your ph
5/5 love ur tank hope those fish dont go crazy and pick on eachother then sooner ur fish will start killing eachother and you will have atleast 1-5 fish left
The decoration is way too garish, it draws the eye away from the fish. Try a more natural setting for the african cichlids, such as some honeycomb limestone.
The gravel is just plain horrid, IMO. To each his own, I suppose...
Great tank but you really should african fish in higher ph like 8 or higher. Im a little concerned seeming u ahve some fish that need really high ph and some that need very low...
What is that black and white fish in there I just caught one in my back yard and I put it in my tank Could you look At my video and see If it is the same fish and if it is tell me what it is?
how do u keep that soooo clean? i had one with my family was loving it. but always got dirty i know the fish that have those suckers eat some of the algy but not all of it surely.
African's aren't brackish... that is racist. African Cichlids DO enjoy higher salt content than many other freshwater fish.. Most African cichlids available in our hobby today are from the 3 great rift lakes of Africa, namely Lake Malawi, Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria.
In the case of Lake Malawi and Lake Victoria, the pH level is usually around 7.7 to 8.6 with a hardness of up to 22ºdH. For the case of Lake Tanganyika, the pH hovers around 8.6 to 9.2 with a hardness of up to 25ºdH.
nay on the fake coral it looks tacky and the pebbles too. your Ph must not be that high
