where did you get canopy? i have same stand as you and cant find canopy anywhere and marineland never replies email
Dominic Tomasino google pet wharehouse. The canopy is called “majestic canopy” made specifically for this 75.
How many goldfish can live on a 45g aquarium???
I have some African cigarettes and one of my fish looks like the tails got in and off or something and I don’t know what’s going on and I would like to have a better video on how to tell if they’re female or male I like the one that you showed how are you can vent them I have a couple fish in my tank I think are holding right now and I’m afraid to mess with them till I know for sure how do I know for sure and should I strip my fish if they are pregnant I don’t know how many meals I have in this tank I got it from my mom and I don’t even know how many females and can you really have live plants with African cichlids
I have a fluval c4,I'm just starting the tank 30 gallon. With the filter on the back,I heard you say on another video not to get rid of your filter pads but what if they get dirty and you've rinsed them 3 or 4 times? Lol
I've been binge watching all your videos and as a new owner I can't thank you enough my friend 👍
Awesome! Thank you! Glad you're finding the videos helpful 😊
Thanks Kev. Same thing I wanna say
Out of all the fish videos on youtube, you are the only one that I love to watch and can understand. Your videos are clear, your tanks are lovely, you describe everything so simply, and you are a joy to watch. You are an incredible teacher. Thank you from this lady in Massachusetts just starting her first tank!!!!
Thank you Ivana! I really appreciate the positive feedback! 😁
I was so upset today… I am brand new to the hobby, my mom kept fish my entire life but she recently passed. My first fish died… one of my second fish died, I saved the others by a immediate water change, prime, and beneficial bacteria. I was testing and treating my tank for a week. 24 hours after adding fish, I had a huge nitrite spike. Thank you for this video series.
Sorry to hear that but the good thing is you're continuing your education and learning from mistakes! 😊💪
BTW, you should check out my new Aquarium Keeping APP designed for beginners! - aquabuildr.com
Sending you sincerest condolences after the loss of your mother. ❤️🙏 I hope you still enjoy your fish and I know your dear mom is watching you and them. ❤️🙏🌷
You must be a professional public speaker or instructor. You explain and describe everything so it sounds soooo simple and easy to learn and understand. Excellent job!!! Great orator.
lol, Thank you! 😃 I never knew I could help so many until this channel. Didnt know I had it in me....Thanks for the positive feedback!
Facts
Man, I could seriously listen to you teach any subject. Seem like one of the nicest people I've ever heard and I'm so impressed with your willingness to help others.
Thanks Nick! I really appreciate that positive feedback! 😊💪
KaveMan Aquatics not only walks you through the beginning, he also has a solution and a video to support his findings. Kev is passionate about his craft. I have watched many of his videos and feel Mbunas is something I can handle with his videos. Being a disabled Veteran I feel this hobby will help me focus. We should show support for KaveMan Aquatics. I have to have two shirts.. Kev all the items I have purchased to set up came from your videos.
Thank you so much, Michael! I really appreciate that positive feedback! Glad I could help get you into this wonderful hobby! It's perfect for Veterans like us! Thank you for your service!
I just got back from deployment about a year ago, my transition has been rough as I was immediately thrown into a medboard. I'm finally home with my kids and trying to find a balance in my life, so I bought a 55 gallon and 16 male peacocks cause I have always wanted to keep cichlids. You're videos and your book on cichlids have been amazing. I'm finding some peace in my life and my cichlids help me find some sort of balance as I approach the end of my military career. I just wanted to thank you for your service Kev. And for all the helpful advice. Let's go!
Reintegration to daily life can be really rough..I'm glad you found a way to unwind and find peace 😊👍🐟enjoy your kids
I have watched many people and no one gets in to detail like you do! I watch videos and people get super off topic of their thumb nail and you learn nothing. I love how you stay on topic and if you do get on another topic you link another video to get in depth. Keep doing what you’re doing🙏🏻 I’m a new tank owner and you’re very helpful
Wow, thank you so much for that positive feedback! Glad to hear you're enjoying the channel! Here's a great playlist for beginners for you to binge if you feel the need 😊 - ruclips.net/p/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er
Love your vids … my brother passed away and I’m trying to keep his memory alive so I do learn a whole lot from your videos he probably learned from you as well before he passed he died at 51 of a massive heart attack he was living here and I bought him these fish because he loves them because of the aggression but I calmed him down anyway keep the videos coming I’m learning a lot from you and I appreciate it.
So sorry to hear about your brother. I hope he was enjoying the channel but I'm glad to hear that now you are too.
I've got MTS bad. I have only been fish keeping for roughly 6 months and I already have 4 tanks in my house and a hospital/grow out tank in my storage cupboard just in case. BTW- I love how you get straight to the point. Some other RUclipsrs rabble on so long I switch off before hearing what I clicked on the video to hear.
Yea, I notice that a lot on youtube as well when Im looking for info...Dont need to hear your whole life story just give me the info lol Yea you got bit pretty bad, better get that under control soon!! 😂😂 Thanks for the comment!
I don’t know. I’m starting to think MTS is a real disease. I definitely got it. If you find yourself looking on online fish stores for their new inventory every other day. You might have MTS.
Brandon Young 🤣🤣 This sounds familiar...Someone better find a cure soon 🤣🤣
Its been a solid 3 months since i got in the hobby and i already own 3 tanks🤣
I kinda have MTS already and I’ve been at it a week lol. Too many beautiful fish to choose from and the temptation of a saltwater tank is pretty hard te resist. SO MUCH POTENTIAL!! Lol 😂
Hey Kev, this was one great video. Tip #3 was the most useful to me. I just bought a Top Fin 2 gal tank for my 9 y/o grandson. And yes, he wanted to fill it with fish 30 seconds after I showed it to him. I had a few 10 and 2 20 gal tanks many years ago in my early 20's, Am in early 70's now. I can't believe how complex (and expensive) the hobby has become. So no MTS plans for me, yea, I know, famous last words... Anyway, thanks for an entertaining and useful video. BTW, that tank behind you was incredible. Will def be back.
Bill
Kev, I got MTS bro😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for your channel and your delivery. I am a school principal and the retired teacher was absolutely correct, you are a natural teacher. And like PAC said, You Are Appreciated 💪🏼
Thank you so much! Appreciate this comment coming from an educator! 😊💪
This is the 1st channel that has really helped me with my aquarium! I am new to this hobby (it was supposed to be for my 9 y.o. son but I got obsessed!) Your tips are amazing and easy. I got the sponge filter and the guy at the aquarium store was like "this is the best thing for your tank". I was SO excited and told him about watching your channel. Thanks for helping us out!!
This is awesome! Love to hear success stories especially from beginners! Heres a great playlist for beginners that will continue to help out. Thanks for watching! 😊 - ruclips.net/p/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er

@@jc9371 😆...ours started with a betta too!
Been in the HOBBY for a little over a year now, been doing RUclips videos just under a year so I can definitely relate to MTS . For new hobbyists this is the perfect video. Very informative and simple to understand. Always enjoy your content. Thanks for sharing 💪🏼 #veterans
Thanks for the feedback bro! Appreciate it! 💪
Had them in the 70's, now by helping a dear friend to her work, I am now also counting cichlids with her at a fish farm in Tampa Bay and love it dearly!! Did a fast study on the Cormorant, that was perched on the telephone pole... It can wipe out a pond in one feast! Picked up a 30 gal - (not the 300 gal the previous owner also left behind, geez it was as big as my car! ha!)---The house flipper put the 30 out at the curb... Well, I'm doing it all wrong just as you noted, think they are stressed...-- Was give a few Yellow Labs and a Maingano that were culled due to their way off color, (They would of been the cats treat, so home they came-- I'm already so fond of them. Gonna run out and get the Stress Coat! The PH is off a bit... I'll crash course your videos and take notes!! It's cool to see what is in the sein net on counting day- like the 18 inch Pleco found this past Sunday - how'd he get there! (bird drop) Gotta get those ponds covered asap - cold snap a commin' - Guess which line is the longest, I hear at the airport around 2AM to get them off and on to there new home! Largest AG economy in FL, who'd of known... I'll be learning a lot from you I'm sure. I enjoy your enthusiasm ! Happy Trails
Haven't had a tank for 20 years. Starting up a new tropical tank. So I appreciate the very abundant and helpful info that you offer. Reminding me of so much I've forgotten. I feel like even the best aquatic in our area don't have all that knowledge that i need.
MTS...love it and so true....
This info is so spot on Kev yet overlooked by so many. Great video to get the message out there with no holds barred, well done.
Thanks Simon! Appreciate your feedback 😊
Thanks Kev, your videos are so informative and enjoyable!! I’m becoming very comfortable with having fish! I can’t wait to get to the cichlid level, that’s my goal. Can’t get there without you, thanks Man🤗
Thats awesome! Glad to hear it. You can advance to the cichlid level pretty quickly by enrolling in my African Cichlid Course. But you can start with my free webinar training first, Check it out here- event.webinarjam.com/channel/KaveMan-Aquatics
I’m so glad I found your channel. I had a tank years ago when I was a kid. Now my five kids are raised and I am older and starting over again. There is so much to learn! Thanks so much for your informative videos. They help A LOT!
My pleasure! Welcome BACK to the hobby!! Glad you're finding the channel helpful. 😊
BTW, you should check out my new Aquarium Keeping APP designed for beginners! - aquabuildr.com
All 3 tips + Bonus tip absolutely true. Before starting the hobby I was afraid if the time needed for maintenance but now as Kaveman rightly said I enjoy spending the time taking care of the fish and enjoy my coffee every morning and evening watching them. I do suffer MTS.
Glad you enjoyed the video...I have my coffee in the morning with my guys as well 😊
I Like it a lot, and love channel, been an aquarist over 50 years, so keep up with your posts 🏆🍺 big cheers from Perth Australia
Wow Australia, that’s awesome! Glad you’re enjoying the content! 😊
Just got a 20 gallon long aquarium. My 6th one. Using prime and Stability this week so can put the adorable Sparkling Gouramis in a few weeks. Getting plants today for it. I always get plants to help cycling a tank. I'm binge watching your videos because I really like them. Always interested in more info. 😃💗👍
That is awesome! Thanks for watching! Glad you're enjoying the channel
Know what I love about your channel. You keep it clear and simple to understand. You don't spam abunch of sponsors or beg people to sub and like. Your straight to the point. Your honest and don't just spit off about a certain brand. Love the channel bud
Thank you bro, I appreciate the positive feedback! I am sponsored by seachem but the more you watch the channel you'll notice I've used and recommended them since the beginning. 😊
Another great video! I love your positive delivery of information and no rambling on and on. Perfect! I, too, got the MTS - hahaha Started off with a 10 gallon, then to a 36 gallon and most recently set up a 90-gallon. You are spot on when you say it is not for the lazy but the work is so rewarding.
Yea you got the bug bad lol I try to make all my videos straight to the point, I know it’s frustrating not finding the info you need quickly. Thanks for the positive feedback bro! 💪
Phenomenal job brother. Very informative thanks man. I love this hobby, I have a 90 gallon, 55 gallon, and 40 gallon. Enjoying every Penny and time spent. Very well worth it. #FishLife.
Thanks bro, Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I started about 8 months ago. Got a 20 gallon tank and the investment ended up being over $300 for the one tank. I have a 75 gallon tank I am currently setting up and of course it costs more just for all the accessories needed to make to work. Aquariums CAN be for the cheap.. but you're going to end up buying 1 or 2 accessories per paycheck. Is a long slow process on a dishman's salary. But I did learn a lot about cycling, thank you!
Ma boii! Thanks for the knowledge
Another great video and advise from one of the best fishkeeper on RUclips! Where were you when I was 11? Can’t wait for the next video! Cheers from Singapore!
LOL, Thanks! I know what you mean, guys like us had to learn the old fashion way...library books lol
Great video! Currently suffering from MTS. Thank you for the clear and straight to the point guidance. Can you do a video sometime on how you have your cables and electrical set up? I bet you have a very organized way of keeping all of your electrical components safe.
Sure do, Gotta have a drip loop! lol Will add it to my list of videos, thanks for the idea 😊
1.st) I am so very thankful I found your RUclips channel...I am "newbie" & I've def caught "MTS!!"
LOL🤣!!!& U are ABSOLUTELY 100% when u said there is sooo much to enjoy w/starting the journey
Very helpful man , great effort. Love the variety in your tank !!
Thanks bro, glad you enjoyed 😊
Great vid as always Kev, even if I'm familiar with the topic I always find myself watching to the end. Proof you have a great channel with awesome content
Thank you bro, appreciate that. I like to make sure I keep the new new guys in mind. 😊
@@KaveManAquatics Kev my man you do so much for the hobby for not only the new guys, but anyone with any experience level. I watch alot of RUclips (benefit of being a construction inspector) 😁 and I can't name one other channel about aquariums and fish keeping that I enjoy nearly as much as yours. There are definitely some good ones out there so my compliment is well deserved. I sat back after watching the whole video on cycling, and thought, damn I just watched a whole vid on water cycling. You get me excited to watch everytime I see a thumbnail from your channel pop up. Thank you a million times for putting some motivation in my days. Have a great week bro you by far are the best!!!!
Darth Blunt Thank you for those awesome words! It feels great to know I can help people from new to experienced. Motivates me even more to keep going! Thanks again bro! 😊💪
Thanks, Kev! :)
MTS about killed me. How real. I started with 39 gallon and guppies, my daughter took that over and now I have a 36 breeding, 45 grow out and a 75 community with discus as the center. Caught a real case of MTS here but the cure is that this hobby takes time.
Story of our lives! lol You've got it bad...unfortunately no one has found the cure 🤣💪
I would really like to see you having another tank. A low tech planted community tank. Hopefully down the road. 🙂
Working on it! 😊
Same aquascaping is such a relaxing hobby both watching and trimming.
agreed
Found your channel from watching Ozzie Albies channel & have subscribed! Your videos are great!
Awesome! Thank you! 😁💪
best explanation video on youtube
Thanks! Glad it was helpful! 😁💪
Love how you explain about the filters and water change as well
Thanks, glad you found it helpful!
Your advice for using prime and stability saved my tank and my sanity
Glad to hear it 🤣
MTS love it! Glad to know
I have a group as crazy as me! Great video!
Lol yea, you’re in the right place! 🤣
Bro, I wanted to give you major props and thanks. 20 years ago I was a novice. Got my first 55 gallon tall and stocked that bad boy with cichlids. Africans & South Americans together in somewhat harmony lol.
Anyway, it had been YEARS since I had a tank. More than 15. But I jumped in when I got an 80 gallon gifted to me. All the decorations and some other stuff came with it but I purchased a Fluval 407 canister and it was the first time I had used a canister filter. 20 years ago, it was over the top filters only for me, so a lot of great knowledge you’re sharing in your videos.
I love the crystal clear water tips, but I wanna tell you, I now have 2 407’s and my sponge filter airstone and my water is so clear. Those 407’s are very quiet so those, plus my Whisper AP 150, plus my wavemaker… my tank is so quiet, so clear, and my fish are so happy.
Thanks again. Been a pleasure watching your videos. Very informative plus you got cool vibes so your videos don’t come off as boring and lame as compared to others on here.
Props man. Keep ‘em coming!
Thank you so much for that positive feedback! I love to hear when I can help out the veterans of the hobby! lol 😊 Appreciate the support!
I stumbled into your videos while trying to get some info. I really enjoy this channel. I like how your straight to the point and no boring rants..I was in the hobby when I was a teen and left it. I got back into it 2 years ago and yes I did get the Mrs syndrome..thank you for what you do and have learned some things from this channel..I wish you peace and will continue to follow and look forward to your videos...
Thank you for that positive feedback, its very appreciated! So glad you are enjoying the channel. And welcome back to the hobby, usually on your second go around you become a lifer! 😂😊
Great info I like your presentation, straight to the point.
Thanks! 😊
Great advice for the beginner keep up the great videos bro ! 👍
Thanks bro 😊
Thanks so much for the tips your awesome

My pleasure! Glad I could help 😊
I love your content! I’ve learned so much in so little time. Thank you for sharing! God bless.
Awesome! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! 😁
Yo! Thanks for the tips. Been watching your videos and following everything you said. My tank and fish are healty
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁
Your videos are the BEST!!! Thank you so much.
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁
all of them helped me with my journey
I have learned so much from your videos, keep up the great work of keeping us all well informed about this great hobby. I was having a rough go being new to this hobby. My local fish store never told me to cycle my tank and I kept killing fish until I watched your videos a couple of months ago. Now they are all doing great. I did unfortunately contract MTS but it's ok because I really love this hobby and so does the family lol. Thank you again for everything you do!
Sorry you lost some fish early on but glad you found the channel! 😁 Thank you for the positive feedback, highly appreciated!
Wow thank you so much! I been slowly learning all about this hobby but this is a great source to get!
My pleasure! I highly suggest you check out my playlist for beginners. It'll be very helpful for you 😁 - ruclips.net/p/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er
Dude sweet video! Your aquarium advice videos are my fav that I have found by far.
Thanks so much! Your tanks are beautiful.
Thank you bro! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! 😁💪
You're amazing Kev. Thank you! YourCycle education was most helpful tip 🙃... I hope I don't lose my Mystery Snail. I've been trying to fix my new tank error😭... He seems Hardy but he won't come back into the water. All the levels are good but I can't get Ammonia to less than 1ppm. History of 10gal tank maintenance:
At this point I've done two complete water changes. For fear of losing newly grown good bacteria I didn't wash the gravel, decor or filter (HOB, Sponge, and aerator stone) I just completely changed the water trying to remove all the food chemicals that broke down.
What I think happened:
I had left two alfalfa wafers for 2 days in the newly set up 10 Gal tank trying to give them food specifically for them and help the calcium I dropped in a mineral calcium ball together at the beginning. I didn't realize I spiked the ammonia. The wafers had slime cloud around them and had started to deteriorate. I thought that was normal🤦♀️.
SOooo I Lost the female mystery snail -after two days, just removed the deteriorated wafers. Didn't realize what was happening at all. Started researching immediately after that...I tell you ignorance is bliss🥹... It's been 12 days since of me trying to fix so I even moved Gary ( my golden mystery snail) to my acrylic non filtered 1 gal with 0 ammonia And Ph 7.6+ to work on the 10 gal as it cycles!?😑🤷🏾♀️ He stayed overnight until I came back from work and fixed on the 10gal the next day. Main Problem: Everything was new at the same time. So after I lost Louise, Gary started to get swollen. He was stuck hanging on the silk plant in a vertical direction. Weird. Part of him was out the shell. So I moved him into the 1 gal. He did recover over that day to his normal size and was then able to go back into his shell and close his door. Now he's back in the 10gal. But he won't go in the water. He sticks to the glass with his butt only in the water. He's not eating and not walking around, just inching up and down the glass in and out of the water enough to stay moist😑 It's heated at 78°F, no copper, ph 7.6 possibly+ (highest point on my API ph test) I'm so worried I just want him to go back to cruising the tank like he used to. Eventually I will get him a partner but I need the ammonia level to go to 0. Where is Gary from:
I took him from my mom's 60gal because his shell and his partners shell (now deceased) were looking a bit brittle. Maybe I've made his life worst😶. I haven't put anymore food at all. He is now alone in the 10 gal tank. There were two new guppies I got on New Years to keep him company but they would nip at him above the water line thinking he was food I guess. They are (guppies) in mom's tank doing well😂... Ironic huh?Any advice?
Excellent videos plain and simple keep up the good work 👍
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Kev!! I just want to say that I am new to your channel snd I’m so glad I am!! I’m getting my new cichlid family on Friday!!! My 55 gal has been cycling for 2 weeks now so I am very excited!!! Thanks for the education!!

Shout out from Australia. Very helpful videos.
Thanks for watching mate!! 😁💪
thanks for the info... just subscribed and will watch and learn...just started a 5 gallon Fluval Spec tank and a great tip you just gave me is about when I can add fish. Just purchased some Seachem Prime . Thanks again
Great video Kev, all three tips were on point due to the fact I been through all those when I first started and over time I got better, and definitely the bonus tip, I started with one big 45 hex tank, then I got a 40 gallon long, and then a 15 gallon frameless, and I'm still thinking about another. But great video, keep up the good work
Yup, that bug hits some of us really hard lol Glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
You're awesome! Love that you keep us new guys in mind!

I am so happy I ran across your page. I am understanding and feel so confident now. I almost settled for this tiny tank and then my mom told me what you said in your other video (second hand purchase..AND got a 10 G). I’m exchanging it tomorrow and will get other needed items 😊. I will be sure to cycle for 7 days 😢 but now I understand it will be worth it. Thank you.
My pleasure! Glad you’re finding the channel helpful 😁

Glad it was helpful!
I always feel helped mostly by your videos. Especially about filter and water cycling. BIG THANKS BRO
Greetings from Indonesia 🇲🇨
Awesome! Glad you like them!
This is a great, informative video, probably the best I've seen and I've been doing a lot of research. I'm 100 percent new to this so I wanted to thank you for breaking down the information into easy to understand content. I will be relying on your channel a lot these next few months. I just got a brand new ten gallon tank for my betta fish and I had no idea that I could not put my fish right away! Thank you
Thanks! Glad it was helpful! 😊 This is definitely the channel for you, I try to keep the new guy in mind for most of my videos...Here's a great playlist I set up for beginners - ruclips.net/p/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er
Your a legend Kev. Love watching your vids. You e been helping me out for a few years now and I’ve learnt so much. I rarely get tank issues and all my cichlids thrive and breed. I just want to comment on the MTS and the money thing. it’s real. Im tech minded so I’m always updating my setups. My recent addition in a fully automated cooling system. With the use of pc fans and data coding the fans come on at a curtain temp and get faster if the temp continues to climb. Im forever putting money into the hobby cus I love it so much. And thanks to all your educational vids I couldn’t have done it well without your help. Keep it up my friend. 💪
Thats a very cool idea! Thank you for sharing that positive feedback bro, It is greatly appreciated. Even though im late to your comment I'm glad I found it! 😊
great teacher!
Thank you! 😊
I'm glad I found these videos. I had tanks 25+ years ago and always dropped in the fish the same day and never had a problem. I was either lucky, or there was less chlorine in the water back then. I'm doing it 'by the book' this time since I've just purchased a whole new set up, and fish are a LOT more expensive these days. I want them to have a happy life in my new tank. Can't wait to see the rest of the vids here on this channel.
I just got a new tank after more than 20 years away from the hobby I was skimming youtube for information on aquariums and I ran across your channel I just wanted to thank you for the videos and much needed information that you provide keep up the good work.
Thanks man, happy to hear of veterans coming back into the hobby! Glad you’re enjoying the channel! 😁
