I’ve had these and your right about not chasing water parameters, I see so many just dropping tons of buffer to get the desired PH and it’s just a waste of money, especially since most hobbyists get their fish from LFS In their neighborhood which have the same parameters. Beautiful Fish and set up and love the fish room
Such a Stunning Fish! I have kept Albino Hecklii quite a few times successfully and the Three things I feel they need is Stable PH, Sandy Substate, and most of all a mostly veggie based diet of pellets and flakes….protein from what I’ve experienced is their long term downfall and will have them develop stomach/ swim bladder issues as they get into adulthood.
Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone is breeding albino Haeckeles? Are their eggs photosensitive? Do the eggs have to be kept in total darkness until they hatch?
Good day, fishkeeper! Love the info and those tanks. My question to you is, do you think a large datnoid tiger fish can be kept with cichlids ( not a dovi, red devil, or flower horn), but maybe a jaguar or an oscar? Thanks!
Thank you for the great video.In your experience with them do you find that they have a slow reaction/response to seeing food?I currently have 1 male and he seems to be having a hard time seeing.My other SA cichlids grab it right away.
@@Riffwaters I brought 3 of them & kept losing one after the other without knowing the reason. But one thing I guessed for sure was these must be very very sensitive fish. They are expensive too 😭
Great video and I’m now looking to get some of these for my 75 with built in Wet/Dry filter….you mentioned a pair in a 75 and that seems like a very light fish load….what are thoughts on 5 total (1 male with 4 females) or if only a pair will be okay together what other fish do you recommend with them in this tank?
In a 75g I think 1 male and 3 females would work. I would personally be hesitant on 4 females. Also, Congo Tetras would be very cool tank mates. Best wishes!
Oh yea they'd be beautiful with Discus, but I agree with your caution on keeping them together. And cool to hear from someone in South Africa. Thanks for watching!
I own one of these albino threadfins…beautiful about 6” very nice colors but beware…these are aggressive towards each other…the second one didn’t fair well at all…parasite got him. These fish will lock lips and constantly fight. After the other died the surviving one targeted my geo tapajos and that saga continues…

Yep I couldn't agree more!

Precise info. Thanks buddy!

Hey thank YOU for the support.
Beautiful fish and great video
Hey thanks!
Wooow beatufuil ❤️
Thanks!
Beautiful aquarium brother!
Thank you!
I'm not sure if I missed it or not but I would like to know more about the filtration on this tank and some of the others that you keep Thanks
Good idea for a future video!
Great video 😊 Detroit
Thank you!
What sand did you go with?
So nice ! Whats the name of the long plant with the leaves outside?
Those are Mangrove trees! :)

I'd like to know too!?
My fish seem to target my threadfin. I don't know why

Yea Datnoids can definitely go with Oscars, Severums, Vieja, etc.
Thanks what about jaguar?
@@coachj4738 I don't have any experience with Jaguars so I couldn't say. Sorry.
@Riffwaters Thanks. Do you still have those starry night cichlids and if so how old are they?
Love this setup. What kind of rock are you scaping with?
Thanks! These are actually just landscaping rocks man-made for retention ponds and such.
Yo tengo peces heckeli 2 macho y una hembra son muy bonitos

@@donnmartin5107 Hi! I do find these fish to be slower eaters relative to other SA cichlids, but not by much. Not as slow as, say, Discus.
Hello there! This is one fish I had no success with. Can you tell me if they come under hardy fish or not??
@@awesomenesss Hello. I would not consider these fish hardy. I find them to be actually pretty sensitive.

Can I mix Geophagus Tapajos with these? btw beautiful tank!
We have some in our store over here in South Africa. Dying to take some home but I'm unsure about them with my discus. These guys eat like savages.
