Man, I just love seeing someone handle bagged fish with so much care instead of swishing and sloshing them around. Even if it wouldn't matter for the fish it's good to see someone have respect for animal life!
Oh Paul 😁😂, dimids have developed the laterally compressed shape as they hunt juvenile fish through tall vallisneria, they will actually stay motionless vertically against tall Reed's so they aren't noticed. Someone randomly saw a comp eating the eyes of a dead fish (Which all fish do) and gave it that common name.
Also of note! A small pointed squirt bottle is millllles faster and more efficient than the fingernail or object method! It forces the fry or eggs out with a burst of water. I'm definately gonna send you a video of me using the dropper method!
Love everything. Awesome! I have used that technique (01:42) many times. It is very handy and much more easy in my opinion. Thank you for sharing. Video got a thumbs up. 👍😃
Hey my one fish got bite by other in fight ...should i do something for recovery of his eyes ya leave as it is naturaly I'll recover ...I hope u give me nice advice..thanks
Paul, it's awesome what you doing there, thumbs up 👍👍👍. But tell me, what's the amount of time it takes you everyday to keep your fishroom in perfect conditions as we can observe?
Hi there, thank you very much. The biggest reason for my water clarity is I built an Automated water change system. All the tanks in my fish room get water changes every day.
That I understand, daily water changes will have a big impact on the health of your fishes as well as on the coloration, but what's your personal investment timewise?
@@slim56alger81 - Pre water change system, I would take multiple hours, since I had to wait for the hot water heater to to catch up. Post water change system, Maybe 1-2 hrs MAX
Is this common for them to rip tank mates fishes eyes out ? I think I have a female with 2 geophagus surinamensis and a birchardi cichlid ... I read some stories after I bought it but I initially thought it only ripped eyes out of potential prey “ small bony fish” able to be swallowed whole ... I would appreciate your info
Its their nickname, not really sure how often it happens, etc. With african cichlids, if its small enough to fit in its mouth, it has a high chance of being eaten.
So do Frontosa by the way (as I have just discovered the hard way). I had two fish sustain an eye injury and one was bitten clean out. I have video on my tank and turns out my Frontosa has been attacking my other fish at night. Devastated. I am now trying to rehome him.
Dang boiiiiiii. I just crossed a tetrastigma ottopharynx with a female sulphur head hap. It was a show tank so obviously thought the sulphur head was male. Nope.
Probably the only African Cichlid my wife likes....so that’s saying a lot! She loves their body shape. Another cool group Paul👍🏻
Right on man and thanks!

Really nice group Paul.
Are the females WC as well?
From what I know, yessir.
How did you get them to breed? I have a colony of 5 fem 1 male and no luck still.
Maybe try water changes with cooler water. Also what is the scape like? Maybe switch it up
@@inventoryking the scape is just white sand nothing else.

Hi Ritesh, sorry for the late reply. I would isolate it and do frequent water changes so the water is perfect. That will help a lot

Sell them

The Cichlid Shack
Male betta fighting fish are eyeball eaters as well I watched it suck the eyes out of my Oscar fish that was bigger than it .
That is insane!
👍👍👌
Thanks

Thanks Brian!
You keep reefs? I am starting one myself
inventoryking no problem and yes I have a reef tank and fresh!
Nice. I will check out your channel
So do Frontosa by the way (as I have just discovered the hard way). I had two fish sustain an eye injury and one was bitten clean out. I have video on my tank and turns out my Frontosa has been attacking my other fish at night. Devastated. I am now trying to rehome him.
Damn one of the baby fish just got eaten
Dang boiiiiiii. I just crossed a tetrastigma ottopharynx with a female sulphur head hap. It was a show tank so obviously thought the sulphur head was male. Nope.
Dang! What do the offspring look like?
@@inventoryking still in mamas mouth. I'll keep you posted that
Wich fish is that laying egg from mouth
I have kept this kind of fish for years but i never seen they bite other fish's eyes once.they just eat very small fish whole.
kept one some years ago, took one eye out of each of two other cichlids about the same size, moved him..
Thanks for shaing Funnelbeaker II
