I've never seen this channel before, beautiful fish room and all those tanks clean with healthy fish is phenomenal. The only thing would've been nice was to give us pics or B-roll of the grow out tank inhabitants, other than that your gallery is awesome.
Love the video. Awesome fish! I’m not an African cichlid guy but I love looking at yours, especially your starry night cichlids. I plan on getting a female soon. Lastly, if I had the money I’d fly you in to build me an aquarium.
@@Jaykarkc Thanks. I have had second thoughts about those being rhoadesii. But the adult males don't have the small patch of red behind the gills that I've seen in notos, so I wasn't sure.
Hi, love your aquariums. I have 4 East Coast Gold Madagascar Cichlid (Ptychochromis Grandidieri). They are just over a year. How do you sex them? I can’t find any info. Thanks
@@cding2172 Great question! Unfortunately they're difficult to sex. There are no color or body shape differences. Even size isn't very helpful. Females on average are smaller, but I've had some females just as big as males. The only definitive method is to catch them in the act of breeding, and see which one lays the eggs. It took 2-3 years to sex my own grandidieri and select down to two proven pairs.
@@tropical_fish_aquatics_ Great idea for a video! Short answer is my tanks are drilled and hooked up to drain lines for easy draining. I refill them with a long python hose attached to a sink.
Sadly the Madagascar cichlids are Really hard to find in Europe, i found one breeder but He IS 7 hours away and doesnt ship Them at the Moment, i Hope to get Them one day.
@@LEWYSTYLE Great question! They look very similar, but current classifications have them as separate species. And I also see minor differences in the barring. Zebra Labs (what I called Blue in the video) is the common name for L. caeruleus, and were actually the first color morph of caeruleus to be described, in 1956. Caeruleus actually means "Blue" in Latin. So the Yellow Labs everyone knows and loves were identified later and found to be the same species as these. The Clown Labs (L. chisumulae) were described in 1982, and someone much smarter than me found them to be different than caeruleus. All that said, sometimes even the ichthyologist make mistakes. After all, Lundo and Chizumulu Islands are pretty close to each other in Lake Malawi. So you never know.
Still my favourite fish room on RUclips,tanks are always immaculate and the fish are always on point! Keep up the great work mate from the UK👊🏻
@@lee_1979 Thank you! Cool to hear from you on the other side of the pond.
Amazing . Your aquascaping is incredible . I been searching for aquarium cichlid rock layouts and found inspiration in your fish room. Nice job.
@@99Canecas wow thanks for the kind words! Best wishes on your own tank scapes.
Look who is back!! Happy New year Evan!
@@boosterman7023 Happy new year Sung!

@ Thank you
Definitely keep me in mind whenever you need to rehome some! I’m close by and would be more than happy to!!!
@@Mandarinfish For sure. When I re-home fish I post them on the 'Circle City Aquarium Club' page in the 'Band' app.
@ just requested to join! Awesome!
Absolutely amazing fish room and beautiful healthy fish!, loved Burt & Gurt, and it’s great to see fish in tanks with plenty of room to swim 😊
Haha. Yea those two are some of my favorite fish. Thanks for watching!
I always love an update of your fish room. Thanks for the video.
@@Thomas.Saunders Hey thank you for watching. I appreciate the support.
Great tanks, love them all !!
You have a fish room to be proud of. I'm not into African cichlids, but your setups are amazing. I love the eel/giant gourami tank!
@@FIUPanther305 hey thanks! And yea the Gourami and Fire Eel are some of my favorites as well.
The guy in the top 75g is great. I like the colouration and fin size.
@@rossdingle6236 Hey thanks. I think they look cool too. Wish they were more common.
Amazing fish room I've said it before and still believe this is the best cichlid room by far. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year
Thank you! That's very kind of you to say. Happy New Year to you as well.
Wow, amazing set up and fish as well. Good luck on the breeding projects.
@@rigidstonerottweiler Thank you. Fingers crossed!
Love the starry night cichlids. I have one, waiting for him to start getting that starry look.
Yea they're beautiful fish. Good luck with it!
I'll take some yellow labs lol but your tanks are beautiful absolutely 💯
@@Th3FishRoom Haha. If only I could catch them out.
@Riffwaters lol they are fast that's for sure
Excellent!!

Hey thanks! That's helpful feedback too.
As always love all your tanks I wish I had the space to have a setup like that. Happy New Year to you and the family
@@razinfishes1918 Thank you! Happy New Year to you and yours, as well.
You have an amazing channel
@@fernandocano2301 wow thanks for saying that!
Beautiful tanks 🎉
I picked up an albino blue dolphin 🐬 the day
Really looking forward to seeing it full grown 🤩
@@andrewderksen3342 congrats on your new fish! They're a beautiful species.
Thanks for the tour !!
Hey thank YOU for watching!

@@Wizardsfishbox Nice, Starry Nights are awesome fish. You'll love it. And hey, thanks for watching!
Wow, everything looks great
Thank you!
Awesome fishroom man. I think you have Buccochromis nototeania. The body shape looks completely different from a rhodessi yellow.
@@Jaykarkc Thanks. I have had second thoughts about those being rhoadesii. But the adult males don't have the small patch of red behind the gills that I've seen in notos, so I wasn't sure.
Your fish are not my cup of tea, but the room is sick! Clean and beautiful.
@@jaykay3889 Hey thanks! Appreciate ya watching.
Awesome tanks man , loved the tour
@@juanriverajr5183 thanks!

Love your tanks! LMK if you're interested in a collab someday.
Hi@@CichlidCharmer I would definitely be interested. Feel free to reach out whenever. riffwaters@gmail.com
So clean👍🏻
How do you do water changes? Would love to see a video on that!
AMAZING fish room you’ve got!
@@tropical_fish_aquatics_ Great idea for a video! Short answer is my tanks are drilled and hooked up to drain lines for easy draining. I refill them with a long python hose attached to a sink.
@ that’s very cool! Can’t wait to see the vid!
Didn’t you use to have frontosa ?
@@robertjohnston25 Yea, but I gave them away when I decided to use that tank for Madagascans.
Sadly the Madagascar cichlids are Really hard to find in Europe, i found one breeder but He IS 7 hours away and doesnt ship Them at the Moment, i Hope to get Them one day.
Yes I've heard they're even harder to find in Europe. I hope you can get them someday!
Green chromide shows greenish colour in brakish water
How old is your 34” fire eel?
@@Lauro-gar I think he's 8, maybe 9, years old. I've had him for about 7 years.
I miss your frontosa tank...
Me too! :(
Are the blue labs the same as the clown labs?

@ I'm hoping to get me some clown labs soon in a 40 gallon breeder.
I have some Yellow Fin Mbamba Bay and they are cool andand love to breed.
Nice! Awesome fish, for sure.
