Great video Kev! Your african cichlid content, always my favorite!!! Keep up the incredible work you do for the community!🙏
Thank you bro! Glad you're enjoying the content! 😁💪
BTW, you should check out my new Aquarium Keeping APP designed for beginners! - ruclips.net/p/PLP5OXTIIDO8MyRXOeOqhwzruSWFdhcaNh
Your African cichlid videos are always 👌👍🤙🔥. Keep them coming.
Thank you bro, will do! Want to make sure I’m keeping up with my freshwater content too! 😁💪
I learnt this the hard way after owning tropical fish for years and just adding new
I put in 3 siamese flying fox fish for algae control.....
They were instan attacked and were completely eaten within 3 minutes !!
I now do the same as you but with added protection I add the new fish as the water is refilling ..... so far so good
Great video Kev, all of these tips and tricks are so beneficial for keeping these beautiful African cichlids, as many may not know that the African cichlids, as me myself, did unfortunately lose some fish because I wanted these fish at my local store and they did not tell me that you should keep few guys together. And rightfully so it is not their prerogative. So this really helps with all these tips. Nobody wants to lose a beautiful fish, and not even know why. . (and by the way, go Seahawks) 😂
Always happy to help my bro! I hope your Seahawks do well cause my G-men lookin like next year already lol
That’s our game, bro! Whether we win or lose, we always come back for more
I'm waiting for my studs from Snake river next week! I'm going to be using many of these tactics when I introduce them to my tank.
Nice, congrats on the new guys! 😁💪
Thanks for the information, like always great video
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it! 😁💪
Red empress will be a most beautiful fish in the tank, i had it from SRCichlids and i sent you that picture on instagram too. I love SRC.
Very possible! 😁💪
It was nice meeting you down at preuss pets In lansing today spun the wheel And won Some prime and stability. What a beautiful day at the fish store thanks again take care
Thanks for coming down and hanging out with us! 😁
I just lost my OB so sad I love that fish I’m going to get 5 new ones and reset the decor in the tank and and let them sit over night thanks for the helpful tips
I’ve had my cichlids for 5 years now and going they are all somehow still alive after my 55 gallon fish tank blew out a couple months ago and I had fish all over the floor and surprisingly none of them died. I am very shocked on how hardy these fish really are.
I give my peacocks their once a week frozen krill treat when I do my water change😊
Read this in the Keeping African Cichlids Hardcover yessir let's go appreciate the new informative video Kev can't wait for the next live you still doing the even this weekend
Glad you found this similar to the book content bro! Shows that I’m still practicing what I preach 🤣 Just getting home from the event now. See you on the next Livestream! 💪💪
Enjoyed watching Kev! Very interesting and fun to watch! The new guy's are pretty big! I also like your netting the fish technique. I've seen many, many time's in pet store's how they frantically chase the fish around the tank's and have no feeling's at all for the fish. You basically let them come into the net on their own. Interesting and as always very informative! 👍❤❤❤
You have a keen eye my friend! lol Yes I don’t like to stress them more than necessary when it comes to netting. Slow and steady wins the race 😁😁
@@KaveManAquatics ❤️❤️❤️❣️
I can use this info for my tiger barb tank
Glad I could help!
I learnt adding new stock the hard...
Yea, many of us did unfortunately.
Good morning Kev!
Good morning my bro! Hope you enjoy the video 😁💪
Hey kev Hows hang on refugeum working keeping the nitrates in your 210
Beatiful tank
Thank you!
@@KaveManAquatics your welcome by the way what’s the tank size?
hey kev are iridescent sharks (cat fish) easy to take care of
Hey kaveman I’m a huge fan I watch all your videos I would love to meet you I think you should come to RI and do a meet and greet or even somewhere in Massachusetts I would love to attend one thank you so much for everything I’ve learned from watching your videos
Hopefully I can make it out there one day! 😁
Can you do a video on how much lake salt and buffer to add? The instructions on the container are a little confusing for me
I have a full video in the African Cichlid playlist. Check it out 😁
I actually do exactly all these steps
Adding one worked for me too though
Just depends on how many you got in your tank
And how big they are 😁
@@KaveManAquatics yep that too , got to match the sizes as well
Anyone else have a flameback as a tank boss? Lots of my fish are bigger but he rules with an iron fist.
Hi
It is my first time buying aquarium and I already added many fish on the third day. I added about 20 malawi fish in a 240 liter aquarium. The fish are rubbing their skin on the sand and stones. I didn’t know that I had to wait until the biological cycle is done. Now, I am on the 7th day. What can I do to fix this problem?
Thanks
I’ve done alright adding one fish, I just do the lights out method for 24-48 hours
As your fish mature, adding only 1 fish can result in death.
@@KaveManAquatics You’re right, it’s always worked for me but probably not the best practice, especially for less experienced keepers
Could I know, what substrate are you using?
In this tank, black diamond blasting sand. You can find it at your local tractor supply store. 😁
Wish I had seen this last week. I had new babies in a separate tank over the summer. I thought they were big enough to introduce them to the tank with the rest. I lost 3 😢
There's over 20 left. I will try your way. Thanks! 💙
Sorry for that lost bro, all part of the learning curve we all go through.
@@KaveManAquatics So confuse them all by making the water low and moving their environment around then drop in new fish. Got it! 😂
Hi
Can I instead of doing 80% water change per week, do 20 percent water change everyday? Because my tap water is really cold and if I do 80% water changes the water will be too cold for my malawi fish.
Absolutely! 💪
What was the promo code to use on SRC?
It’s available to all of my FaceBook group members 😁 facebook.com/groups/kavemanaquatics
Gm what if I only had one fish to add would taking 3 fish out and adding them with the new fish work or not
Absolutely! That’s exactly how to do it. I have a full video on that tactic 😁
Are Cichlids and Oscars compatible in the tank ?
Oscars are Cichlids. If you meant African Cichlids and Oscar cichlids, usually no. But I have seen tanks do it successfully.
👍👍👍👍😊
Unc you're gonna have to stay with one topic at the time because I just came from the saltwater video to this. I now want a saltwater tank AND African cichlid tank.
🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately I made that mistake myself just about 2 weeks ago. I have been looking for a Sulfur head peacock for a while and I found one at an increidible price, I just could not say no to that deal, so I took the risk and bought him, just that one fish, as soon as I introduced him to the tank, the number 2 and 3 went for him, they killed him overnight, he was dead by the morning. It was as if they knew he was going to be my favorite guy moving forward and they said "oh hell nah". I am still devastated because my mistake cost him his life. What I should have done since I did not have any other new fish, was to remove a couple more from the tank and place them in the quarantine tank with him, that way it would have been "3 new guys" instead of just him. Lesson learned. I have a 75 with 12 mbunas and 4 peacocks in there. Other than that incident no aggression in my tank. Been following your advise for a whike Kev and learned a lot from you. Love your tanks and your passion. I actually got into African cichlids from your tanks, that is why I got mine.
@@GabrielHernandez-if7yh so I recently add 2 new mbunas(bumblebee&red zebra) to tank with 9 Africans. I noticed my demasoni was tearing the bumblebee up, the zebra was fine. Next morning I did a small water change and rearranged the rocks scape. The demasoni for the most part stopped fin nipping the bumblebee and he looks a lot more comfortable
Rule #1 don't mix mbunas with peacocks and haps
So I've kinda swayed away from African Cichlids for this exact reason. Even when you do exactly what you're doing somehow they find that fish. Id say 70% of the time this is the best way to do it, the other 30% is luck.
You do need the right mixture of all the tactics to keep aggression down. One of the reasons why these fish are challenging to keep.
👌💦
😁💪
I fed my chiclids to my Lion Fish. Welcome to the salt water, big boys. They got torn the fuck apart. ASAP.
I give my peacocks their once a week frozen krill treat when I do my water change😊
