Great vid, great guest great info!

I have a great example of this topic going on in my tank right now. My Red Empress was colored up until I put a few larger fish into my tank. For example, a Taiwan Reef and Livingstonii. I also have a very aggressive OB peacock who likes to pick on folks. The Red Empress has colored down to basic silver. Looks like a giant juvenile. I don't have any expectations for him to color up anytime soon. I always enjoy your videos, keep up the good work Jay.
Robert Reese thank you so much
I'm glad you guys had this video because the first time I ever noticed my Jack Dempsey color down and it turned out to be my parrot fish was bullying him so I went into the kitchen and got me some blood worms which is his favorite and gave him a good piece it seem like after a few minutes his color was coming back and there was either two reasons one I knew that he would fight for that and feel better about himself or it was the blood worms that started making him feel better let's say this he's the kind of fish that he'll grab the whole piece and run around with it until he engulfs the whole thing
Great topic........IFG, Butch and James? Can't ask for any better info from some great guys. Thanks again!
Tobias Phillips no Problem glad you liked it.
thanks for the video! very informing. I learned a lot
karen andrews we are glad you learned something.
Thanks for the video buddy
Jay, you are the man. No lie...I did my first water change on my newly cycled tank about a week or so ago.., well, ever since, the water has been milky looking. I kept the lights off today for the first time (I had been keeping them on for like 8-10 hours prior) and after one day of limited light (outside of indirect window light), the water is back crystal clear, and the fish are brighter than ever. Also, just got my first thing of Krill Pro in the mail today and the fish love it. Thanks for putting me on game!
Preston Grissom my man!
Some heavy hitters in this video...great info from the pros :)
Mbuna Marcus - Aquariums, Cichlids and More tried to give you some diverse information
Never heard of "juiced" fish. Thanks for the info
High class video as always. i now feed every one of my fish NorthFin. from my Tropical 0.5m community Kelp wafers for my plecs and cori. Krill gold also. Mbunas and Tropheus love veggie formula.
Home run guys!! Great content!
aManUnderGrace appreciate that
Great video!! With an all star cast!!
Diver joe yes it was thank you
Believe it or not some PetSmart stores have plane Jane Haps that not showing color , I've bought a silver red empress that didn't color up yet from PetSmart and a few water changes , and food it turning purple,red, turquoise it better to let them color up naturally
Little cichlid places like PetSmart can sometime have diamonds in the ruff
My lfs boosts the colours on there fish and it drives me mad they look great in his tanks and then you bring them home and a week later they look completely different fish .... great video and topic jay 🤗
PsychedelicBabe that is a DANG shame
Great Video thanks !
David's Fish Tanks thank you
great video!!! awesome information. I cant wait to try northfin but i have so much other food i need to get rid of. lol
Kevin Beissert well we will be here when your ready
I am from India.. and i can confirm that here most of the local shops have juiced fishes.. even 1 inch fish shows full color. The problem is that even reputed fish stores have juiced fish 😔. There is no other option rather than buying juiced fish. Can someone suggest how to keep juiced fish for longterm.
wow! All Star cast!!!!! great video, GREAT info👍 thanks for putting this together, you know what's next.... HOllA! lol thanks Mr. Wilson
Michael Hayes hahaha
I usually find when purchasing a new fish (as a little tip) when the seller puts the net in the tank, catches the fish and puts it in a bag that nine times out of ten the fishes colours change within minutes (usually dies down and goes pailer) however with a hormoned fish it retains the same *amazing colour throughout the process and still keeps it even when introduced to your tank and for the next 2 weeks! In my past experience that's a thing to look out for to.
Hey jay great video
Logan Lindsey hey thank you so much
Can you show how to set up a goldfish tank using natural river rock, driftwood and river plants, for a natural setting?. I have blacked out the back and both sides of my tank that actually make the goldfish pop in color.
great informative video 👍
Efrain's Cichlids appreciate that
Thanks! that was interesting :-)
SkyMurphy77 I am glad it was.
There's a lot of juiced cichlids here in Los Angeles. Many fish stores are Asian imported cichlids. I've had many juiced fish when I was starting out. I'd go to these fish stores and get all excited with these 2 inch peacocks with a full blue face and colored body, only to find out after about 2 or 3 weeks in they're juiced. There might not be many juiced fish across the country but there are in big cities.
volcann91 they will be in larger areas yes and only will continue if people continue to buy.
I’ve experienced this problem quite a bit. I thought it had something to do with the PH level or something to with my water.
I just started having problems with fish losing color but I've been checking my water about once a month and I noticed that my kh is really low at a 5 and I've been looking into how to raise not sure if you've made a video or maybe point me in the right direction for videos websites or products thanks man
Rpapi Cichlids good luck my friend we will def look into it
Jay Wilson thanks for the response man I've heard it could cause fish cannibalism do to survival mode. I don't know how true that is but I definitely don't want to see predator fish go into cannibalism mode lol again thanks I'll be on the look out.
Informative video. Logic and experience has taught me that new arrivals will color down merely from change in environment or feelings of uncertainty. For past years my joy comes from watching my tankbred fry grow to mature fish with full color. That's my fun.. Thanks to all your excellent guest speakers and their willingness to share their valuable knowledge ! Whats your Northfin recommendation for Mbuna ? Samples ??
+Free Swimmer my recommendation is veggie and kelp. Mindynfusa@gmail.com. Give name/address and fish species and size. Thank you
Thanks much ! I am e-mailing you the info.. Thanks again !
I got my female betta last june, she is dull in color maybe that's good because I just added a male today and they already get along well :3
i had bought chiclid, when i added fish to tank in a minute it changed colour to gray black in front of me. Fish is healthy, aggresive & growing but not colouring up again. What can be done. Other chiclids are showing gr8 colour.
there is stores here by my house in Redlands ca that are juiced they are 2 inches and have full color pretty sad for the people that aren't knowledgeable so sad
Hi can you tell me please I have 1male American cichlid he was blue and he turned black why it's happened? :(
good video guys
TankHead Videos appreciate the feedback
Do male peacocks that in fact have been juiced, ever get their color back?
Some do
Any side effect on the juiced fish?
How did I not know nico TCJ sold fish. Knew he bred but didn't know he shipped
I have a Salvini cichlid I had it for a year I switched it from one tank to another with same fish .. the fish been at the bottom of the tank for two week and changed brown... is the fish dying?
Kool"
richard negron thanks
where can I buy "Hormone Juice"?
Have no idea.
Not all cichlids.. my 1 to 1.5" blue zaire were all colored up
8:15 wild caught african yellow camaro fish
That was information on steroids! Love it!
Corey Hecker appreciate it buddy
I know they lose a bit of the colour after but is it really bad in long term feeding them that hormone food?
Leon Black yes imagine using hormones most of your life.
Jay Wilson there’s a fish food called super R online it says no sex hormones is there any in them? They sell it all around Australia
Do not know. I only feed NorthFin
Hiii Artificial tree is good for African Chichlid to hide Chichlids, actually Iam going to put it in my tank plz let me know. Thanks🙌
Sure as long as it is safe
IFG in the building yyyyaaaayyyaaa
Nico Hernandez HA!
Lol did my comment spark ⚡️ something on sec channel? Or is this a coincidence, anyway I've had juiced fish for sure, 2 inch bengas and eureka reds turned silver in weeks after getting them from the store. But the question I ask is where is the scientific evidence of this? I'm talking completely silver not a shred of color at any angle of light which you should see. Idk maybe I should vent them lol anyway great video, much respect, just an interesting subject.
KG cichlids huh?
KG cichlids well I can assure you I have bought a German red. His name is flash and he was bright red and went grey in some time and now is a badass deep red fish. Happens I guess.
Jay Wilson how can a fish go from completely colored to completely silver in weeks without being "juiced"
KG cichlids water quality, super subdominant , diet change or just scared also water temperature.
+KG cichlids I'm still confused. What comment?
Jay so I get a Ruby Red ob group I grow out and breed I wind up having three groups out of the dozen fish I buy Every male breeder is a normal orange blotched OB not un attractive but nothing like the RED fish on the website. I email the guy and he says oh you need to feed super red flakes I can send you some. SO while this is not juced what would you do The guy feels nothings wrong but Rev vs Orange?
Two Guys Fish and Frys private email me at askawaywithjay@gmail.com
Two Guys Fish and Frys it's a line bred fish. you get what you get from my understanding
Blue peacock fish turning black colour...??? Why it's happening like tht
Food/ genetics/ stress
Really what to do know recover Colour
mohammed tabrez maybe nothing. If genetics are lame zero things.
However providing that fish with a stress free nutrient balanced diet would give it the best shot.
Thanks jay Wilson but today died😭😭
24 hours motor and heater is running then also died
Northfin 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👌🏽👊🏽
Anthony A yes sir
#segrestfarms that's all I'm going to say
Well ... not why I came here ... heh
