PLECO POOP and NITRATE Levels
Hello to all my subscribers! Thank you for coming back to watch my videos!! This video is about my pleco and how he’s busy messing up my aquarium. I’ve noticed lots of long strings quite recently as my pleco has been growing. These strings are pleco poop.
My concern is that too much pleco poop causes nitrates to rise to toxic levels. I’m monitoring my fish and keeping an eye on their overall behaviour.
So how do you deal with this problem? I have been picking the poop out as it is too big and just sits at the bottom of the tank. It does not go through the filters. Let me know in the comments.
Here is the video of when my Oscar was injured:

What Happened To My Oscar Cichlid??? Fish Bite?
Просмотров 14428 дней назад
Hello to all my subscribers. Thank you for coming back to watch my videos! I noticed my Albino Oscar Cichlid had a large section of his scales missing and I was wondering what happened. My initial thoughts were that possibly the fish had been fighting for territory as these cichlids are quite territorial fish. The location of the injury is a little unusual as the fish usually fight with their m...

A Different Perspective | Cichlid Fish Tank
I scratched mine using 1 of them
How are you cleaning your glass now to ensure it doesn’t get scratched?
I want one.
How many Gallons is this tank ?
About 100gal
Nice tank! I'm starting with African fish, how many do you think can introduce in 450 lts (1.50x50x50cm). Thanks
Hi thanks. How many fish will depend on your filtration and also how much rocks you can have in your tank. The idea is to have enough fish just to curb aggression. More rocks will give the fish more hiding places so allowing you to add more fish. Another consideration is the water change routine.
It happens that’s why I keep breeding them so I can replace I hate to keep buying fish
Facts.
Oh Man😢
😢
What is fully growen time for mbuna fish?
Time they take from baby fish to maturity is about 3years.
Beautiful AQUASCAPING
Thank you.
Bro how big do mbuna cichlid fish get?????
They don’t get bigger than 6inches which is about 15cm.
Feeling so bad for thst poor fish
A bit unusual in my tank..but Oscar’s are carnivores. Possibly the prey was not in good health.
What is best food for mbuna cichlid, please suggest me,i am new in this aquarium hobby
High protein pellets. I will make a video detailing this soon.
Bro what you feed to fish
I feed them high protein pellets.
Good fish collection
Thank you.
Damn reading the the comments on this video ppl really are judgmental . That’s your tank in your home that you spend your money on. None of the fish look stressed , nice tank man . Keep doing you
Thank you! 😊
Fucking awesome! Never really occurred to me to mix Oscar’s n Africans, what are those huge fish hanging around the back? The ones w the strip on the face
I’m guessing you’re referring to the Geophagus Brasiliensis. I have a video which you can watch here on these fish. ruclips.net/video/lxeonvEJTWs/видео.htmlsi=vjAV4S1wV_bj4g05
The rocks filter the water the same way as in saltwater aquarium live rock?
The rocks give the fish more hiding places, reducing aggression. Also good surface for algae to grow creating a great environment with the necessary bacteria for the aquarium.
Malawi and central American cichlids require different water parameters, i don't advise on keeping them together.
Thank you for your advice.
Mine is 10 percent...
How often do you do your water change?
Beautiful fish 😍
Thank you!
You are keeping too many fish in your tank, it's cruel.
Thank you for your advice.
Should change your channel name to Cichlid Abuse... One of the worst tanks I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. Not only is it grossly overstocked, but the fish combination is atrocious.
Thank you for your advice.
I am thinking of adding another tank.. watch this space😊
@@CichlidLove or maybe don't stock it this way in the first place and purchase a second tank before the fish. I get your name but obviously this is crazy overstocked and not even by a little bit. Generally animal abuse and surprised your showing it on the internet.
Thank you for your advice.
lol man ppl are really uptight . I think that’s an awesome tank .
That is horrendously overstocked...
True fact.
It would be better two tank. One american and one african.
True. Although these Africans and Americans seem to be getting along just fine. 😊
@@CichlidLove Do something about it then. What you're doing is cruel.
@@Derpzy Thank you.
Overstock there is no room to swim for them dude💀
The overstocking has helped with the aggressiveness.
Yep I like to overstock African cichlids
Never seen an aquarium this packed before. You must have the best filtration ever.
Hello. My filtration is quite simple. 2 canister filters 2700l/h and 2400l/h on either side.
@@CichlidLove Damn that is some huge filtration. The water seems so clear !
It’s crystal clear almost all the time except after a clean and feed. Which tends to clear out pretty quickly after running through the filters.
shame on the lack of swim room for the fish - yes looks good with so much to look at but really the fished are so squished in and can barely move without touching
@@Jaxxx365 Thank you.
Mixing South American and African fish is also interesting
It’s fun! Never a dull moment.😊
Hello, what are the dimensions of the aquarium, length, height and width???
183x45x45cm. 72x18x18inch
Congratulations
Thank you for being part of this success!
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Nise video❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Beautiful specimens my friend.
Thank you!
Like your song choice 🇯🇲
Thank you!
I had a cichlid get bullied so bad over night he almost died but when he grew Bigger he wouldn’t stop attacking the other fish till we separated him
Wow. That doesn’t sound good. Good you could separate him 👍🏾
Clear water and no aggression! What size is this tank? And to think ppl say african cichlids and south american cant go together!
Tank dimensions 380litres. Approx 100gal 183x45x45cm. 72x18x18inch It can be done. The Africans and Americans can live together in harmony.😊
@@yeayea2499 75gallon I had the Oscar's from baby about 3in with 2 african cichlids they grew up together and kept reproducing for over 2 years
Awesome story. They’re reproducing machines! Mine are always reproducing. You can see fingerlings and fry hiding in the rocks on one of my videos here: Fingerlings Spotted in Mbuna Fish Tank | Breeding Cichlids ruclips.net/video/sMFviEfKmHU/видео.html
Which one did that
Possibly got caught on the rocks…
You should redo it just to change things up
Cool idea!😊
We call it overstock for a reason
Thank you. I hope it works out in the long run.
Just a bit over stocked 😂 I'd take the 2 Oscar's out and about 10 to 12 African's and that would be well stocked imo but at the end of the day its your tank do whatever you like at least the water looks clean
At the moment I have 3 Oscars, two smaller, Tiger and Red Oscar’s and the bigger Red Chilli. I am looking into another tank because my Africans have been breeding a lot too adding to the population. Thank you for your advice.
Of course its over stocked a blind man could see that
To overstock or not to overstock? How much is too many?
I have read many comments from my other videos that say that this tank is overstocked. Let me know what your thoughts are…any advice is welcome.
Dude. That's cruel. When a fish is like this, you separate it. Don't tape it while it's getting nippt at. The fish is obviously suffering and is stressed like hell.
Hi thank you for your advice. I did end up separating the fishy and it healed up very impressively. It’s now back in the tank with all the other fish and doing very well. 😊
Here is a link to the video which shows complete healing of my dragon blood.😊 ruclips.net/video/CI6J1GEpWMs/видео.htmlsi=GmxYTTsMbbNbYiG6
Great to see another successful tank with mixed cichlids. I have a mixed tank as well but on RUclips, all the creators are “only peacocks and haps” or “only mbunas!” Such BS…. Great looking aquarium!🙌🏽
Thanks 👍
Oh no the oscar ate one of the african peakcock?
Yeah. 😢 It’s one of my little baby mbuna. I have quite a lot of those as they’re constantly breeding.
what size is the aquarium? and how many fish population in the aquarium?  
Tank dimensions 380litres. Approx 100gal 183x45x45cm. 72x18x18inch I lost count. There’s so many more little fishes behind the rocks as mine are constantly breeding.
Ok thanks,
@@CichlidLove50 ekor
👍👍👍
Think you need to a separate setup for your oscas and geo around the same size as that one
That would be nice. I have been contemplating another tank… watch this space. 😊
How do you treat this?
I haven’t treated it. Treating it meant treating the whole tank for that one fish. I have removed it and left the one male, that should help with easing off the stress between the two males.
