Another awesome video! I should try one of these fish I think but I have never seen this variety in any of my local fish stores in the southern US. I like your new shirt!
Hey, the first fish you recommenced was a Ancistrus, and while this is good for most tanks, I have seen many of them being devoured by cichlids, and I highly am against it, even though every fish is different most cichlids are kept in groups in the home aquarium, due to this, there is a high chance at least one will want to eat the Ancistrus. One of the worst things about this is with cichlids, (Depending on your type) they will eat out the eyes first. Just go with a tank with only fish from a desired location so just go with some cichlids and some syno cats.
I bought a pleco from petsmart and it was the biggest one they had. Roughly 4 inches long and pretty beefy. Didnt think he would get picked on in my cichlid tank because he's bigger than all the cichlids. After an hour of him being in the tank I had to take him out and put him in a separate tank because my yellowtail acei was going to town on him. The yellowtail ended up ripping his entire eye out his skull. 72 hours have passed since the incident and the pleco is still alive... will be interesting to see how long he will live. I might just take it back to petsmart before the 14 days and get something different. Maybe an otocinclus or a few snails.
Salut Richelle. J'adore tes vidéos, sugestion pkur un video future: Quoi faire avec un tank bully? Je serais curieux d'avoir ton oppinion sur le sujet et surement pas le seul. Keep it up!
Good to know. They're not that common here in Qc. Most pet shops sell the big plecos because they are cheaper. I get so many people in my store who feel "stuck" with such a giant fish :S
Yup. I have salt in mine. Have mbunas. Jewel cichlids. Featherfin a bristlenose pleco and a green sunfish in mine. no algea what's so ever and perfect harmony. All bigger fish now. Just make sure u skip feeding the pleco once or twice a week to make sure they go after scavenging the algea because if u keep them fed every night then they wont bother to do so. Easier to eat what's given to them then scrub the algea off of your tank...but yes. They do fine in mine. In fact I have had HIGH levels of salt (2 tbs per 2 gallons of water)for treating various diseases before with no I'll effects.
1.Can I keep nerite snails with African cichlid? I have banana , venustus ,and peacocks cichlid in tank. 2. I have Amazon sword plant and Cyrpt plant in tank, but the cichlid are breaking them. Is there any plant which can survive in African cichlid tank ?
I breed super reds in my other tanks and are familiar with them and their diet. Im new to cichilids as i just started a new 75g mbuna tank. My question is how do i get a pleco wafer past the hungry cichilids as they share a similar diet. Tank has 8 yellow labs and 8 Demosoni, all 1.5 to 2 inches. The tanks brand new so theres not yet enough algae to support the plecos.
Hi there. If the tank is big enough, there shouldn't be any issues. The fish you named aren't algae eaters. The guppies and swordtails might eat a little, but it's not their entire diet. As for the corys, they're more bottom feeders than algae eaters.
I have bristlenose pleco and just can't keep them alive. Everything else in my tanks are perfect maybe I should get the African cichlids pleco. I'm so confused about this can you help me
Hi...i have a cichlid pond.... i live in Tropics... i have african cichlids...yellow and blue...i also have a few buttikoferis and a horde of Texas Cichlids....I also have a Pacu.... Its a 500 gallon outdoor pond... Any ideas? They kill and eat most things...
Omg I have a great big pleco and I just set up a 30g and I don't wanna put him in it because I'm planning on putting gravel in it for my cichlids, but we all know that pleco poops rots fast in gravel.... And the tank gets about an hour or 2 of sunlight a day so I gotta do something
Wow! I am impressed that you responded to my comment. You do seem really sweet in your videos though, and I live in Alabama so I love your french accent. 😁
Hi Mike. Thank you. Ok I must admit that today I'm quicker than usual to answer my YT comment! I write down all the names of the fish I pronounce because so many people couldn't understand them lol. I learned them in french and can't seem to wrap my head around the english pronunciation. 😂 I'm glad you like my accent.
this is probably late, but if your talking about a already cycled tank go and wondering how long to float them in a bag for, a good rule of thumb that i go with is 20-30 minutes, but take longer if its from very different water temps, if you have just gotten a new tank, know how big goldfish can get, the common single tailed goldfish can get past 8 inches, if you have just set up a tank you could do 2 things, 1. take a bunch of water and 1-3 decorations from a already established tank you have had for a couple of months so that cycles your tank by putting in plenty of beneficial Bactria, if you cant do this then just run an empty tank for about 3 months before putting fish in, if you add plants you might be able to so it a bit sooner, but it will most likely be about the same time either way
J'ai du changer mes ancistrus d'Aqua car ils faisaient beaucoup trop de bébés donc ils sont maintenant dans une 25 gallons avec une centaine de bébé en un mois. C'est fertile ses petites bêtes la ;) Je me suis racheter un ancistrus inspector car mon ancienne tank devenait plein d'algues.. c'est efficace ces petites bêtes là ;) Bonne vidéo dommage que ton magasin soit dans la rive sud de Québec :(

I put my allergy eater in my fish tank with my Cichlids fish and the next thing I know my allergy eater is completely gone no evidence that it was even in the tank so where did it go. Did my Cichlids eat my six inch allergy eater

Less than a week ago I purchased 3 ancistrus for my African cichlid tank and the front of my tank is spotless. They are amazing algae eaters.
You provide so many great infos, I love your channel, and I'm just at the beginning :)
Ancistrus are great and easy to breed. Love the shirt
Thank you 😎 I feel so fashionable!
Another awesome video! I should try one of these fish I think but I have never seen this variety in any of my local fish stores in the southern US. I like your new shirt!
Thank you. I hope they're able to get you some 😁

Yes I have a One Eyed Cichlid living in my Cichlid tank. It gets around ok.
How many Ancistrus can be put in a 30 Gallon tank. Thanks for the lovely video.
Ancistrus was my favorite algae eater until I met the Chaetosomo species. Now I keep both. No Africans though..... yet.
Lovely earrings.
Chaetosoma are pretty rare here. I had to google it! Nice fish.
I'm glad you like the earrings, I made them myself😊
Hello. I bought a yellow Ancistrus today to add to my cichlid tank however my electric yellow cichlid keeps quivering at my pleco. Is that a bad sign?
I bought a pleco from petsmart and it was the biggest one they had. Roughly 4 inches long and pretty beefy. Didnt think he would get picked on in my cichlid tank because he's bigger than all the cichlids. After an hour of him being in the tank I had to take him out and put him in a separate tank because my yellowtail acei was going to town on him.

Merci Benoit. C'est une excellente idée de vidéo! C'est noté!
Here in Australia Bristlenose is very common. We don't like 2foot plecos lol. L Numbers are Rare and expensive.
Good to know. They're not that common here in Qc. Most pet shops sell the big plecos because they are cheaper. I get so many people in my store who feel "stuck" with such a giant fish :S
Yes I have no problems with Bristlenose in my Cichlid tanks here in Australia. Great and busy workers
Please advise on the best algae eater for a jaguar cichlid tank. TQ
Oh wow that shelf was overdue! Proud of how you so easily fixed it :) No more chaoosssss haha
Aw thank you 😊 There still is chaos but a little less than before I started this video. ♥️
Lol you replied in another video btw. This is the algae eater one 😂
QuebecCichlides how did it happen?? Haha
Can plecos survive in a salted cichlid tank?
Yup. I have salt in mine. Have mbunas. Jewel cichlids. Featherfin a bristlenose pleco and a green sunfish in mine. no algea what's so ever and perfect harmony. All bigger fish now. Just make sure u skip feeding the pleco once or twice a week to make sure they go after scavenging the algea because if u keep them fed every night then they wont bother to do so.

merci pour les infos
Looking great! You and the t-shirt 🌝 great info too

1.Can I keep nerite snails with African cichlid? I have banana , venustus ,and peacocks cichlid in tank.

💕💕Nice Tshirt colour and amazing information💕💕👍💕💕
Thank you😊
Thanks again for great info.
Thanks for watching 😊
Love the shirt as well! congrats from Mexico love your channel
Thank you :D
So beautiful
how about rare pleco, like zebra pleco? can you recommend it with african cichlids?
Most aren't compatible because they need a much lower pH
Great video their always a must for me in any of my tanks :)
Thank you😊
Thanks for another great video...
Thank you 🥰
Hello from Atlanta ! My existing fish (Guppies, swordtails, corys, etc) eat algae. I have mixed emotions about adding an Ancistrus.
Hi there. If the tank is big enough, there shouldn't be any issues.
The fish you named aren't algae eaters. The guppies and swordtails might eat a little, but it's not their entire diet.
As for the corys, they're more bottom feeders than algae eaters.
Always top quality 🐟
Thank you 😊
Would another name for one of these be Bristlenose cat fish
What is the best filter for your aquarium
Great informative vdeo once again...
Thank you😊
Nice video...
I have bristlenose pleco and just can't keep them alive. Everything else in my tanks are perfect maybe I should get the African cichlids pleco. I'm so confused about this can you help me
Often people lose them if there is too much nitrate in the water (40+ppm)
Hi...i have a cichlid pond.... i live in Tropics... i have african cichlids...yellow and blue...i also have a few buttikoferis and a horde of Texas Cichlids....I also have a Pacu.... Its a 500 gallon outdoor pond... Any ideas? They kill and eat most things...
Do you understand what it means to write dots?
Enjoy your videos !
Thank you :)
Great video...great shirt :)
Thank you😊
How much fish you are low in your aquarium
Omg I have a great big pleco and I just set up a 30g and I don't wanna put him in it because I'm planning on putting gravel in it for my cichlids, but we all know that pleco poops rots fast in gravel.... And the tank gets about an hour or 2 of sunlight a day so I gotta do something

I keep up side down in my own African cichlid tanks
Those are so fun to watch 😊
I like your shirt I want one I want two .Maybe three
Yay. I'm glad you like it. It's pretty comfortable too
If you buy five goldfish how long u need to take before u put them in
this is probably late, but if your talking about a already cycled tank go and wondering how long to float them in a bag for, a good rule of thumb that i go with is 20-30 minutes, but take longer if its from very different water temps, if you have just gotten a new tank, know how big goldfish can get, the common single tailed goldfish can get past 8 inches, if you have just set up a tank you could do 2 things, 1. take a bunch of water and 1-3 decorations from a already established tank you have had for a couple of months so that cycles your tank by putting in plenty of beneficial Bactria, if you cant do this then just run an empty tank for about 3 months before putting fish in, if you add plants you might be able to so it a bit sooner, but it will most likely be about the same time either way

My bushy nose pleco died in my lake tanganyikan tank that I house neolamprologus multifasciatus cichlids aka shell dwellers aka multies.
Please help my friend. Can you out snails with mbunas
Nerite snails are good with african cichlids
Snails with Mbuna?
I put my allergy eater in my fish tank with my Cichlids fish and the next thing I know my allergy eater is completely gone no evidence that it was even in the tank so where did it go. Did my Cichlids eat my six inch allergy eater
There would be a carcass 🤭 This is weird

It's the Ancistrus' common name. I can't believe I forgot to say it lol!!!!
