- Come along as I search for my missing eel in my HUGE American cichlid tank, add several new African cichlids to Alcatraz, my 240 gallon African cichlid tank, and I need your help deciding what to do with my 180 gallon American tank.
Cichlid Charmer is dedicated to sharing the joy of keeping African cichlids and American cichlids and sharing information about them. Much of my content is not cichlid fish specific, however. It also pertains to all tropical fish aquariums. I will share what I have learned about cichlids and other fish, and everyone is welcomed to comment with their own experiences and information about fish and aquarium practices in general.

Let me know what you think about Eel Longoria, and I’d love your input about the direction I should go with the 180!
All geophagus get along in my experience except those Braziliensis
@@JackDemp719 That's what I've heard as well. Those Braziliensis -- angry boys!
Awesome video, Miss Eel Longoria you're a poop hiding, but you are such a cutie I'm so happy you got her. I don't think I told you how I lost my Snowflake eel, he got out of the smallest 1/4in spot in the lid on my marine tank only to find him crispy critter on the floor, sad day for sure. "San Quentin" love it, that fits in perfectly! I'd leave your 180 with the fish you have it and maybe move the angles out, I think all the fish will be really cool, hey I also use the good old bucket method on my smaller tanks I'm too lazy to haul out the big behemoth faucet hose thingy it's nice for the big jobs but just as easy to do it by hand for the small ones, anyway got ta keep the guns in shape. The boys in Alcatraz are stud muffins for sure very handsome indeed. Well, I did what you say to do at the end of this video I have 4 Dark Knight Rams on the way, I have their boudoir all ready and waiting for the action to start, my hopes are high on these......Thank you for yet another great video, I really enjoy your style.
Yeah she is a poop! But you're right, a cute one. I've lost many an eel like you lost your snowflake. Always so sad. I'll have to make sure it's locked down tight! So leave the 180 and maybe move the angels.... it IS the easiest thing to do, so maybe it's the best thing to do haha. Thanks for taking my advice and getting some new guys! You'll have to keep us posted in the fb group, Polly! Thanks for the encouragement, too!
About that job in Idaho, do I have to cook and clean also…?
You have an amazing array of piscatorial delights. Beautiful.
No. I mean… yes.
Thank you!
Beautiful eel I need to get one. Beautiful looking aquarium my friend.
Thanks, Danny - and thanks for coming back here 🥰
Like the new name of the tank. I guess with the names of your tanks your gonna have to do a Pelican bay next!!!!
That’s a good one!
If I lived in Idaho I’d be happy to come help whenever, as is today is my day off from everything and I still can’t help but look around to see what else I can do, speaking of which do you know anyone who wants some red spotted jewels? Got about 200 of them 😂, always something, glad to hear your eel Longoria is doing good and I love the new faces. Great looking tanks! Stay happy and healthy my friend 😊❤
Then move up here - I need free workers lol. So if you’ve watched any of my other videos, you already know I have no friends, so I don’t know anyone who would like your lovely fish 😂. Thanks for liking my eel and tanks!
@@CichlidCharmerI got the same problem and my LFS told me I’m flooding the market with them, I asked pondering, why did you sell me a male female pair then?… maybe he thought it was like angelfish and they eat their eggs 9 of 10 times! And no worries I just need a couple big tanks and I’ll have a real treasure of a tank full of shiney jewels. This being said I love your taste and your work, too bad we couldn’t be closer!
@@CichlidCharmerI wish I could offer help in picking fish, personally South Americans are both beautiful and frustrating because they virtually all get large and most like to be in groups, and others like caves like Jack Dempsey or green terrors are surprisingly calm until 10-12” in size. Most of the time I see pink chalceus or red tail prochilodus with Oscar’s and vieja with some sveni and silver dollars. The odd catfish too. I have 2 rapheal catfish that are amazing but I barely see them either so. But if you want 2 great big iredescent sharks they are yours for free! lol I love them but I’m gonna have to buy a pool for them just so they don’t have to have issues
@@HapiPETSWM I know what you mean! They are get really big, and I don't want the tank to be overcrowded. I want them to have lots of space. I can play with the stocking and just keep an eye on the aggression, but I'd prefer not to get anything too risky, like I hear the vieja is a very aggressive one. Still, quite tempting.... I'll pass on the sharks, but thanks lol. Thanks for the info!
@@HapiPETSWM I would be such a good fish store owner, because I would inform people about their fish before they had them bagged up. I hate it when they fail to give you some very useful info. Thanks for your very nice comments!
Great video
Thank you!
Very good transition for Alcatraz guys, still found really good the angelfish, but yeah, they are not so active, they are more like hanging there in the surface lol jajaja
Thank you. I just want some more excitement in that tank. Something cool with some personality.
Eel Longoria is awesome, glad you found her, love the new guys in Alcatraz . My sunset hap is also slightly aggressive but Malawi hawk keeps him in check. Best of luck buddy with the nut jobs
Thanks, Stefanos. Super excited about the eel.
Love that eel!!!!
Isn’t she sweet? I just love her.
Absolutely
😂 that's awesome! I use the same P/ C thermometer to check water temp.
It’s the best isn’t it.
Awesome video as always.
Cool name for the new tank.
I have two 210's that I've had running for a couple of years now. I like fish on the boisterous side.
One of the tanks is a South/central American Tank and the other is an Peacock/Hap tank. I am thinking about trying a peaceful, perhaps planted discus, angelfish tank.
Two 210s sounds great. I wonder if you’ll be bored with angels and discus? My angels are pretty, but I just can’t get into them.
San Quentin home of the death row 😂. The eel has such a personality I love it. Thank you
Thank you!
@@CichlidCharmer I am with cichlids like you are with plants. However I enjoy your beautiful tanks.
@@BKAqua How funny. Thank you!
I had a tire track eel back in the 80s , one day he disappeared ! about 6 months later I was moving to a new house, and found this dried up banana thing behind the couch 15 feet from my aquarium !
eels migrate and will crawl on land from one body of water to another.....get a good tight lid !
That sounds about right. I had them in the 80s also. Almost always ended in death by escape. My lids are tight now though 🤞
I love 🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
For your peaceful south American tank where the angels are, it would be so pretty with a group of monte cristos or pin stripe dambas. Or... a big male black nasty. Oh I miss you Andy Woods 😭
I love the Monte Cristos. Thanks for the suggestion!
Moving the electric blue acara to your 400g, they should do really good since the can get to 5-6 inches. The geophagus as well would do really well in that tank
Of course the choice is yours.
I am leaning that way. Thanks a bunch
Trade the angles for a jack 🤔
Hello sir. Love your content. So I have some weird algae in my 55 gallon. It's an African cichlid setup. It's a Lake Tanganyika biotope. Rocks and more rocks 😂...ok so this has no fish AT ALL never did and this algae grew out of nowhere. it's white and it's all over the rocks and glass. I've cleaned it however it grows back. My question is should I just remove the rocks and substrate and start over ??? Pressure clean the rocks ? Or is it best to let it do its thing and just add fish ? I guess I'm quite lazy to start over unless it's the best thing to do. Please advise and thank you!
I’m not an expert on white algae, but if it was my tank, I’d leave the light off all the time and make sure it isn’t getting lots of sunlight. Clean the tank up, change the water and see if it grows back.
Was your heater still on when you drained the tank? Lucky to survive that.
Yeah but I have it horizontally at the bottom near the sand. The heating section wasn’t exposed. Eheim heaters also have running dry protection.
Make sure you don’t have any open holes at the top of your tank man, i’ve lost a couple eels many years ago due to escapes. They can find the smallest of holes too.
Little escape artists is what they are lol
@@CichlidCharmer yes, but they are so cool!
Firemouth cichlid!!!
Okay, why the fire mouth? What do you like about them? Thanks for the suggestion also
Great color, great personality in a South/ Central American Cichlid setup
@@anthonypride1302 They are full of character for sure
you need a tank call Folsom, then you put a fish named Johnny Cash in it.
That’s a great name. Maybe that’ll be my mbuna tank
Rainbow fish in the 180?
Good idea, but… rainbows kinda look like freaks to me with those big bodies and tiny little heads lol
Lol great fish
Switch off the heater when doing WC
I have a temperature controller and I just checked to make sure that it’s off before I do water change or have it sideways like I do in the smaller tank so that it’s never emerged while I’m doing the water change. Very good point though.
@@CichlidCharmer ohh good then ... i noticed the light was on (red) when you were removing water in the small tank .. that's why i said... because out of the water heat super quick
I found mine wrapped in the pump of my sump😢😮
Oh crap that’s so sad
Bucket brigade sucks!!!!
Big time bro! But I’m too lazy to get the hose out. I know it makes no sense lol
