The black theme is mesmerizing
Thanks!
Yellow Labs are one of my absolute favorites! So much color and personality.
Agreed!
I knew that classroom looked familiar. 2011 VJA grad here, would be awesome to go back and see this!
I actually like this scape much better. Again, lucky students!!:)
Thank you!
Looks good. I keep yellow labs, yellow-tail acei, and maingano in a 75g. My only suggestion is you will probably want to increase your filtration as your mbuna grow bigger. I run two AC-110s and a canister filter on mine.
Fish take a lot of Care. Look so healthy and love the wave makers - never saw that before. The bridges are perfect. Fish seemed to enjoy
looking great ! always love the classic blue + yellow mbuna combo. these active fishes are indeed very interesting to watch. i didnt turn on my tv for one week after my mbuna tank was set up. :D
Thank you! I definitely understand that!
Refreshing look of the tank bro..whenever I use to watch the video I also thought the same thing mbunas were hiding behind the rock..😄
Glad now all the students can watch them swim freely..
The scape looks awesome!! Definitely a great choice in the yellow labs. I just added two cobalt blue and two snow white to my 75 gallon mbuna tank last weekend.
Thank you! Love the cobalt blues as well
Super dope video ❤❤❤❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you! 👊🏻👊🏻
@@CichlidBros anytime bro 🤟🤟💪💪👊👊
Amazing maintenance ethic running that with a HOB filter
I’m doing a reset on my 75g and I’ve been wanting to do yellow labs for a while now. This really helped answer some of my stocking questions. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
@@CichlidBros I just scaped a 75 with 50lbs of dragon rock- pulled some java fern from other tanks as well as a clump of jungle val-- they love it --PFS substrate. I was given 5 Labs by a guy on our local FB fish rehoming group- Breeding pairs-there was 5 swimming babies in the moms mouth too-- its only been 2 weeks but i LOVE THEMMMMMM
Great vid, gave me some inspiration for a re-scape I’m about to do on my 90 gallon mbuna tank, love the dragon stone👍 Out of interest, do your students get distracted by the tanks during classes? I know I would! 😂
Awesome! And all the time. Many have started up in the hobby
now you got me thinking about the SICCE XStream SDC WiFi Enabled Controllable Wave Pump :-) its $249
Nice
Hi I just looked up mbuna tanks after feeding watching mine in the basement for awhile. My scape is heavily rocked and the fish used to hide whenever anyone would get close to the tank there were a couple braver ones but they were really fraidy cat...fish. I have had it set up for about a year now and about 2 weeks ago I started to notice a change in there behavior before when I came to feed them or went near them they would run and hide and come out and get the food after we moved away from the tank. I guess they finally figured out that people mean food because now they are always out feeding time is an active frenzy and when we aren't feeding they are looking to be begging. I am not sure what triggered the change but the tank although I enjoyed it from a distance before is great fun to watch now from close up. I have yellow labs cobalt blue ones red zebras (which are orange except one which is orange and black mottled) and rusty cichlid the cobalt blues and rusty have bred havnt seen babies of yellow labs or red zebras yet. I too also had some demasonii originally but alas.
Nice. Yeah, I try to keep the aquascape to a minimum on my 75G Mbuna tank. If I add too many hiding spots, all the fish do is hide 😂.
Nice and neta setup! Thought they would need more filtration in a 75g
My personal experience with my all Mbuna tank is, Demasoni have been a challenge for me to keep.. I level out my sand and rearrange my rocks every water change to keep them occupied on the new layout.. It has helped with the aggression.. One thing for sure is, Mbuna love to dig under and swim in and out of the rocks...
Yeah demasoni are definitely tough. I had intended to get more to have a big group and diffuse the aggression, but they picked each other off before I could even do that
I had a leak in my older 75 gallon tank. Pain to say the least. I drained it. Took out the sand. Everything. I scraped off the old silicone from the corners and the bottom. Then I resealed it with new silicone. Two days later I filled it to test for leaks. None. I left it filled for a week to make sure. Wala, tank was like new. I put new sand and a new rocks in. Then moved my fish over that I had put in a 40 gallon tank I had. Worked out fine. Mayor Pain in the butt! But it's been fine ever since.
The tank looks great my next tank is gonna be yellow labs
Awesome!
Should go with 10 to 12 Demasoni
Amazing tanks. . What type of rocks are you using in the tanks?
Thanks! In the mbuna tank, it’s dragonstone
New sub. I do peppers, camping and outdoors stuff. Cheers
Welcome to the channel!
Awesome setup! Looks great! I do have a question : im not new to the hobby....however i just recently got back into it...u have had my tank setup for over a month now....keeping up with water changes...not over feeding...water is crystal clear....fish are happy....etc. However....my tank water smells musty kinda like creek water....any reason for this....any suggestions on a fix....??? Thanks in advance
Thank you for watching! I would see if your filters need cleaning. Might want to see if an food or debris is on the lids of the tank as well. And if nitrates are high, that's a common cause
I have a 55 gallon with 10 mbuna 5 yellow labs and 5 powder blues how many should I go for I was thinking 16 is that to many or not . Love your channel keep up the good work 🇬🇧
Thanks! I would say that's a good amount. Just keep up with your water changes and have strong filtration, and you'll be set!
Wow that is so cool. I want to get some of those yellow tail acei where did you get them at? Awesome setup. I love you guys channel. I have a 90 gal myself I am loving the African cichlids I have in there.
Thank you! I picked them up in this video if you want to check it out!

@@CichlidBros do you find the one in Bolingbrook better? The one in Schaumburg always seems to be either over priced with african cichlids or they’re sick.
I've always been a central American cichlids man as well I'm starting a mbuna tank in a 75. Currently have 15 fish stocked. What is a good number to keep in there? 20 gallon sump filter with 400 gph pump.
If my tap water is naturally high in PH and with cichlid sand its even higher, Does it matter if i have inter stone like Seiryu or dragon stone? Should i use Texas Holey Rock to maintain the high PH?
What substrate did u do for the 75 gallon cichlid tank?
Any chance you know how many pounds of dragon stone that is
How litr akvarium
Did the seal break on the side or bottom? Did it look thin to begin with?
Also, how were you able to add the fish to the new tank same day?
Side corner leak. We answer all those Q’s in this video! TWO NEW LARGE AQUARIUMS IN THE SAME DAY! Over 500 Gallons in One Classroom!

Thank you! I went and watched that. Most of the “instant cycle” videos I have watched have you use used media and stability but still wait a month or so 😫. Glad to see it can be done sooner.
@@kristiwhite5394 I haven't watched the video myself yet, but I think it's worth mentioning the good bacteria that consume nitrite and ammonia won't live forever without food. Worth cycled media you must give them some form of ammonia.
I have successfully started tanks in a day by taking biomedia from other tanks.
Hi, pretty sure u got Melanochromis (pseudotropheus) cyaneorhabdos "maingano" instead of johanni
Yep I think you’re right
Song at 5:17???
How can you stop aggression in a flowerhorn?
I would recommend keeping them solo
I think that sounds about right. Mine is a male and I put a longear sunfish and a red tailed shark with him and they were circling each other fighting and I took the shark and sunfish back out because they were all beat up. The sunfish is about 3 times the size of the flowerhorn and the shark is about twice the size of him. All I have with him now is a catfish and a senegal bichir. And do flowerhorns do good with convict cichlids, I've seen it done before and the flowerhorn didn't mess with the convicts at all.
where can i get those rocks?
I got them from a local fish store. Dragonstone
@@CichlidBros awesome. thanks for the reply!
If you get dragon stone, wash and scrub it thoroughly, my LFS sells it caked in dust and dry mud
@@readysetawesome i mean it pretty much is clay
I've just got into the hobby back in August and I have African cichlids and Some South American cichlids and I do notice a difference in their personalities.. Unless it's just me but the American cichlids are way more timid and very quick run and hide at the slightest movement or attention that they get..And they're not as fun/active in the tank like My African cichlids... They're waiting for me at the edge of the tank greeting me as soon as I get home from work or wake up in the morning.. They interact with me way more and have way more activity in the tank.. I probably won't be getting anymore American cichlids in the future, They seem to be more laid back and lazy..But maybe it's just me
Yep, that’s pretty much the case. Africans will usually be more active swimmers
Bro why are you over feeding your tank ?
They hadn’t eaten over the weekend and to get them active for the video…
A lot of fish in there currently. However once they grow up U will definitely need a much bigger tank.
It’s actually not overstocked for an mbuna tank. It’s the typical approach to keeping them
why don’t you just say fish store, why is it always local fish store. A fish store near you is local by default….
Thousands of fish stores that aren’t local bud
@@CichlidBros The fish store by default means local…. specification would be required for otherwise bud.
all good just something silly i noticed about fish keeping lingo.
@@CichlidBros thousands of stores in general, when i go to the grocery store by my house I don’t say i went to the local grocery store 😂 c’mon it’s pretty funny.
