[bm20197]

beautiful fish. l love the set up. simular to mine

[Arnab0767]

great tank

[TheJRH0327]

Half black half yellow are oblique cichlids. But wow those things are 20$ at 1 1/2 in. You got some money in those fish at that size great variety in your tank aswell

[blazinxtreme]

What kind of filter and lighting? Looks like a cascade canister filter...

[spauldingmcdougle]

What are the half black/half yellow ones called? Really unique looking cichlid. I like your yellowtail acei as well. They look great.

[Sheety33]

Beautiful tank and I like your rock color variations! What type of live plants do you keep in your tank? Are anubias safe to keep with cichlids?

[gthisgirliswild]

Can I have one? Lol

[ashbuzzman100]

how do you stop chiclids from fighting mine used to always fight so got rid of them?

[loafmasta87]

@ashbuzzman100 depends on size of tank, how many males you have, hiding spots, types of cichlids. Too many fish can = aggression, too many males can = aggression, mixing African and South American will almost always = aggression, and cichlids themselves are by nature aggressive, so some is expected. Try to keep same size, enough space and hiding spots and only African or South American. That should help some.

[ashbuzzman100]

@loafmasta87 ahh alright , when i got mine my local fish shop said to put loads in but i bet he just wanted a sale lol anyway thanks for that advice and hopefully i'll have some again soon

stunning aquarium....

[FishHobby1984]

That's pretty!!!

[CCichlids]

What filter should i use for a 55 gal im getting in a few months with no more than 15 cichlids? I will be doing a water change every week unless more is needed or i don't need to do one that often.

[119fishman]

Who nice job

[meandvandro]

@CCichlids Hi.  I picked these up from a local brick and paving stones supplier. The whole set cost me only about $20

[rahgaga77]

a very nice cichlid tank great job!

[Diegovaiasuso]

whats the name of the black and yellow fish and the name of the fish that is blue with yellow fins?

[meandvandro]

@Diegovaiasuso The black cichlid with yellow stripe is a Ikola Tropheus and the purple fish with the yellow band is an Acei. I have two in this tank and the larger one is now about 7".

[garyrome1]

@meandvandro hey man what kind of lighting is it?

[rebecca23ish]

love it!

[Mrdynamite777]

dude that is the best tank i have ever seen well done. hey i was wondering where u got those large pebble stones?and how do u keep ur tank so clean i also have an african cichlid tank with a few loaches but its only 60 gallons i was wondering if u could help me

[CCichlids]

@Mrdynamite777 you could check your pet/hobby shop but IF they have them it would be expensive. Try a gardening store or even your nearest river if you have any. i live in VA where i have a river basically anywhere i go.

[161prorider]

if u look at it it looks like there flying in the air

[TheToanduong]

Chill

[meandvandro]

@chiraglyf I would only stick to African cichlids in the tank. Neons look great but they have a different freshwater makeup including a lower ph.

[meandvandro]

@brucierioch The Tropheus is a more aggressive fish but I have had peacocks that are even more aggressive. A larger Tropheus to add to your tank may curb aggression from your Demasoni and over time the Tropheus will be higher in the pecking order. I have a Demasoni in this tank these days and it is not afraid of anybody but usually only picks on juveniles his size.

[F1shguy]

nice assortment of fish and rocks, i really like it. i also like how you made the rock hiding places look natural rather than most who just stack pieces of slate. nice job.

[canalalgerie2008]

240p (WTF) 480p or HD plz

[brucierioch]

hi there i see you have Tropheus ikola's with your malawi's i am thinking of adding some ikola's to my tank with my malawi's but i am not sure about it with me having 3 auratus & 3 demonsi in there allready, have you had any problems with your ikola's with aggression against your malawi's ? very nice tank my friend check mine out.

[brucierioch]

nice tank, check mine out

[turtleslap6]

i must say props for good choice of your africians and good decor choice... not a fan of white gravel... last thing to say is keep an eye on that yellow compresseiceps he is not going to grow very fast or very large :D

[nature1232]

amazing. One of the best tanks i've seen so far.

[Pakman12344]

Gorgeous tank.And I love your taste in music :)

Btw what kind of rocks are those?

[meandvandro]

@Pakman12344 I use river rock that I purchased at a local supplier. To decorate this tank only cost about $20 of river rock. I also use coral gravel for the higher PH. Some of the rock dwellers enjoy digging this size gravel out of their caves after a routine cleaning.

[TDWP1804]

@meandvandro i see in the beggining of the video that your female eletric yellow had a mouthful there lol how did those babies do? they still alive or what?

[gcoulanges]

looks good........ How long have you had the fish?

[Peteemax]

Very nice male Careuleus

[raj5033]

Whats the name of the black and yellow one at 4:56

[Peteemax]

@raj5033 is it the one thats also at 0.17? Its a Tropheus Ikola.

[VioletBullet]

Beautiful fish mate
