@Zev Saint instablaster :)
@Emmanuel Maxim thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
If you haven’t been complaining, video starts at 2:50. The haters can start at 0:00 😂
Lol!!!!
You do a great job so thanks for all the work and time you put in for us, the hobbest appreciates all that u do!!!
I love the variety in your videos. Sometimes, it's fish that I'll never keep. No problem, I love learning about them anyway. Thank you for sharing and please, please keep doing what you do.
I absolutely love the tank behind you!! So colorful and gorgeous!!! I love this channel....I've been here since day one...no matter what the video is about I'll watch....it's always a learning experience no matter what the content...keep up the great work!
First time here, amazed by your content and you earned a new subscriber 👍
Heya zenzo! Sorry i got to ya late this time, works been crazy lately. I just watch to see what your up to lol, just appriciate the effort you put into bringing us the videos. Thanks for that btw. Your breeding program is simple but hella effective. Thats dope. Once i get into a house in a few months ill have room to breed a bit but for now ill live vicariously through your fish room! This has gone on long enough, later💪
do ur thing brother i love seeing all types of videos real hobbyist enjoy all of the different species and tank setups hahah great content sir
That African cichlid tank is amazing Zenzo!!! I never get tired of looking at it..
I enjoy your video journeys on new topics it gives me ideas on different directions I might want to undertake in the fish hobby. Keep up the good work.
Hi, Zenzo thanks for making all your videos it gives me great pleasure and helps me to learn a lot.
Keep going the way it is. I love all the info and not just African’s. I love the variety
Awesome video! Thanks for all the info!! Id love to watch a video of u explaining how u got ur own company started and wut u did for a living beforehand. Ty again for the great video!
Cool channel, variety is the spice of life. Keep up the good work 🤓
Hey Zenzo, great job with this video! Your fish look awesome bud. Thanks for sharing 👍.
Do what you wanna do man, it's great,some topics I skip but that's always the case. I for one don't have cichlids or mudskippers or any interest of keeping them but just like to learn about them and see someone passionate about them and present it enthousiastic. ( I don't think you talk to much I rather like that you keep your vids kinda short,that way I'm always able to watch them). Thanks man.
Love your videos Zenzo.Thank you for sharing🐠
Thanks for great content and great epic colors on your African cichlids
Beautiful job brother!! I learned a lot!!!!
Nice video zenzo! I want to get into fish breeding myself one day when i have enough space. Show tank looks amazing.
Do what you want to do it's your channel your choice.
Hi Zenzo, Great video, thanks for sharing. You have an amazing set up in your fish room. I'm new to keeping fish and am inspired by your videos and other's on the feed. I am wondering, after you separate the holding female, what size tank do you put them in ( I think you mentioned it being a 10 gal) and also for the fry. Whats that in the mess with the fry? Thanks again. Keep up the good work.
I have different tanks planted shrimp, African, community and different things. It is fun exploring the hobby! Keep doing what you do. Your content never gets boring to me. Thank you for all you do! Are you going to be at aquashella in Dallas this coming weekend? If so what day and I hope to meet you in person.
Thanks! Yes, I’ll be there on Saturday.
finally a video that actually helped me!!!
I know my interests expand as continue in this hobby so I think it’s cool when you expand as well 👍
Good video! I am new here and only came across this video because I have a new interest in breeding African cichlids. I currently have a 60 gallon fresh water tank with about a dozen African cichlids.
Thank you for the update
Thank you for the information
Great content on this subject. Long time fish keeper, newer to keeping African Cichlids. Have 10 Peacocks and 2 haps in a 75G. Have a holding Dragonblood by Raspberry OB. This video helps to get the process right on raising up some fry properly. 😎
Already setup a separate 65G for her to spit fry. Plan is future female tank, for now it's for momma and fry. Per the request of my wife 😁
Beautiful tank
Your cichid tank is awesome
Awsome work brother not into Africans as much as u more into Americans more aggressive fish, but love watching and learning as much as i can, love your videos keep them comming, from Australia keep up the good work 😎👍🐟🐠🐡
Love your videos
Kuya new sub here. Great videos!!
All I can say is pristine!
Good video zenzo
Nice channel! 😊 I just subscribed. I really want to get an aquarium they are so beautiful ❤️
Man I love your main display!!! So nice!!! My girlfriend wants and all Male peacock tank after seeing yours...and if you knew how difficult keeping fish with someone who doesn't see the beauty in the hobby...its a complement to you!!!🤙🤙shes coming around slowly...
Love this video
Great video
awesome video thanks
Zenzo, just do what you want.
I am a writer and years ago my first Editor told me, "Write for yourself, if you do that you will always have readers because you write far better when you like what you are doing."
So same for video, do what you like, critics should do their own videos before the criticize anyone else.
You make great videos! You do not ever talk too much, just be you man!
I was transporting a 150 gallon tank a few days ago. I had no idea how heavy it was going to be, like 200 pounds! My friend and I are getting old, at one point I stopped and said your name three times, but nope! You didn't show up!🤣😂
I've got a small apartment and two 10 gallon tanks and personally I love watching all of your videos-- how can I live vicariously through your diverse fish room if you don't show it?
Thanks for this video... even I'm one among the people asked you dor posting these kinda videos.Specifically Cynotilapia Zebroides JALO Reef
There's nothing wrong with diversity! I suspect that most hobbyist's interests change/evolve over time. I was only into African Cichlids for many years, but now I love the contrast of heavily planted Betta Tanks next to a Malawi Desert Tank.
Good video on breeding!!!
Not to keen on the hybrids but still a good example of the breeding process.
Nobody cares if you like hybrids. Most cichlids guys do.
some great tips
Glad it was helpful!
What the clear hoses attached to that’s spewing out water on top of the black totes ? Alway wanted to set up something similar. Tia.
Nice video
Awsome....
Nice sir...
What is in the small bags you have sitting in the fry tanks? Is it a filter medium?
Hi I was wondering if I could put a jalo and yellow blaze in a 10 gallon tank together seeing they both holding ?
Thank you
Nice
It sucks that you have to explain yourself and how "YOU" do "YOUR" videos on YOUR channel. The RUclips "getcha" group is everywhere and knows no bounds. I solute you Zenzo! 99.37586% of us love your channel!!!!..... and the variety!👍
Thanks it was a great video I just started my 75 gallon Cichlid tank and I got a bunch of cichlids African cichlids from a guy who does breeding and he gave me about 30 or 40 of them and some of them are pretty cool looking I think I’d like to try the breathing process and your video was very good and very helpful. I’m not sure which kind I have so I need to be able to identify those and then figure out which ones are males females after that any advice with him you would be greatly appreciated thank you have a great day
I had a question, I’m planning on breeding haps , African cichlids, I’m planning to do the natural way,letting the female hold the eggs until she spits the fry out. I’m wondering how long until I should pull her out after she spits the fry, I don’t want her to get attacked by the male. Sorry if this is an easy question I’m just new to this and curious . Please and thanks!!
Okay so I want to get into breeding so I know peacocks are auloncara, is that their species or genus and are for example a sunshine female able to breed with a dragon blood
What wave maker/power head are you using in the 75?
What’s the temperature you keep your breeding tanks at? Thanks.
Zenzo, great video! I’m new to the hobby and have a question for you. One of my male OB is being ultra aggressive and digging a nest trying to breed, he’s constantly chasing all my other fish. How long will this breeding behavior go on or is this permanent as long as he’s the tank boss? TIA
It could go on for several weeks, or it could be something that he does for the entire time that he’s the dominant male.
Can u do a video about Neolamprogus brichardi breeding?
My stores don't accept my fry or adolecents....
They say it doesn't "match'' the requirements like colour and size and shape.
I can tell you my cichlids are damn top notch from the neighbourhood lol!
How do you know what is male and female? I've just started with mine i know i have at least one big male cos he looks like a giraffe with a blue head. And i had 3 bigger females that had freys but most (22)of my fish died when my husband helped to clean the tank. So i started from scratch almost ive got tiny colorful cichlids but don't know wether they are male or female.
Sorry if this was said in the video and I missed it, but does water temperature have any effect on the breeding?
Do I need gravel in the tank for the fish to breed?
I have a dwarf fire hap that is holding eggs. I'm not sure who the dad is. Can peacocks and haps breed together?
Hello Zenzo. I have a breeding pare and the male is eating the eggs while the female is laying them. How normal is this?
Also what are you supposed to do with the fry that turn out female?
Hi I'm new to the African cichlid hobby I have a 55 gal tank I want to breed mbunas where do you suggest I get the fish from and how many males and how many females
I like this video..
it seems like one of my male peacocks and my blue dolphin are mating,is this possible ? thanks for your input
What do you feed the little ones on?
So if anyone sees this I have a 50 gallon cichlid tank and I’ve had it stoked for about 5 months and they just aren’t breeding I have males and females and it’s a good setup it’s the same as a lot of cichlid tanks but they just want breed can anyone help? Also I tried this and the male was in here for over 2 months and nothing happened
Hey, I really hope you can give me some wisdom. Long story short. Male and female peacock cichlids in my main tank showed mating signs, and I immediately moved them to a smaller tank. One day later, female have mouth full of eggs. I was super happy since it's first time my cichlids having babies. I was going to move the male back to my main tank, just to give the female some space and alone time but sad to find out that she was seriously attacked by the male and she doesn't have the eggs in her mouth anymore. She is barely holding and i hope she will get better. Question is, is that normal? My understanding was the male will protect her and the eggs. I would be super appreciated if you can give me some pointers. So I dont have to make same mistakes in the future. Thank you.
hey I was wondering do you feed the female fish food while they have eggs in their mouth?
I have a female holding fry in her mouth. When do I separate them?
I found it hard to get my hands on a lot of female cichlids, since most dealers don't sort by sex and sell them before they go through puberty. I endet up having 1 female and 7 Males. Can I expect sucsess with them? It is not looking very promissing currently.
I love watching everything you're interested in. The hobby has so many avenues to explore, why just stick to one road? Plus you're channel is Tazawa "Tanks", not Tazawa Cichlids. Do you bruh!
Haha! Exactly! Thanks!
How soon do you remove female to put in 10 gallon because I did and she swallowed eggs.
Do I have to sepereta the female moma from the Frye? Is she going to eat them up? She spit them out yesterday
I need help identifying My african peacock cichlids I have 2 of them and I don't know if there male or female
I have an african with eggs in her mouth..there is no male ciclids in the tank she's by herself will they hatch?
When you put the female in her own 10 gallon tank and she spits the fry out, do you immediately move her back to the community tank and separate her from the fry?
I would remove the female and put her in a separate 10 gallon tank and let her rest and fatten up for a couple of weeks before putting her back in the mixed tank.
You don't need to apologize for being into African Cichlids they are the best fish next to going to salt water
I think they have the best personalities in the hobby
I have an African Cichlid with a grey body and a yellow forehead. Can you tell me what it is
do you cull your females or do the stores you sell to take them?
Can anyone tell me all the names of the fishes of his tank behind?
I notice my fish has eggs in her mouth I separated her from the other fish. I dont no if I should of left her with the other fish or keep her separated. Im not sure how this works. Do I need to let her go in the tank with the others for the male to do his thing or i dont no if that's already done.
Females won't pick up the eggs until after they've already been fertilized.
Where did my eggs go???
I have 1 female, 3 male cichlids, and 1 plecostomus. The family has been carrying eggs for weeks now. Yesterday morning she had eggs. Last night, she did not. She started eating again and fighting with the boys. There are no eggs or babies in sight. Any ideas what might have happened?
Where can I get a background like these
This one came from Universal Rocks.
Can you distinguish the baby fry male n female when they start to grow?
Usually you can start to see color when they are around 1.5 - 2" in length and maybe 4-5 months old.
@@TazawaTanks Nice I've always wanted to learn and distinguish them.
Do you leave the male and female with the little ones ? If so for how long ? Thanks for your video
I remove any adults if I want all the babies to survive.
I need help finding an easy simple and easy to sell chiclid to breed
Pls tell me how to know male female chiclids
Awesome Video Thanks for Sharing FishFam NJAE19
Do you sell african chiclids? New subcriber by the way😁😁
hm do you earn? from breeding n selling
Is it possible that she may hold eggs when they feel like if there is no male ??
Yes, but they usually spit them or swallow them after a couple of days, as they will know that the eggs are not fertile.
What temperature do you use for when you put the mother alone ?
Usually around 78 degree Fahrenheit.
@@TazawaTanks yeah I agree 26 c is what the pershop guy also told me ! Thanks!!🙏🏻
