Great video and some good advice. The only one that is almost impossible to achieve is ensuring you end up with no females in the tank. You can do your best when choosing new fish but there is no guarantee.
I've watched this at least half a dozen times hoping to pick up something new! Great vid! Question: I notice you have a divider in some of your fry tanks... What kind of divider are you using?
Shawn Eliason glad you enjoy this video mate. The dividers I use are from petco I believe. Just the standard ones for 55 & 29 gallons have worked well for me👍🏻
I like your tank, its simple and elegant. I just got a 75 and have been pondering what to do with it as far as design.. I was looking at the 3d backgrounds but it seems like a lot going on...noisy.. it already comes with black backdrop with LEDs.. but you're tank just looks awesome.. I love the simplicity.. the black with the white really make the colors of the fish pop!
Mile High Beer Guy for sure! That’s what I love about my tanks. The black background against the white sand looks awesome in my view👌🏻 thanks a lot for watching & commenting!
Cichlidscape • I think my VC-10 might b a female but not sure... If it is, it's the only female in the tank. Time will tell... No one is acting aggressive like they want to breed, and it still has good color even if it is a female. It acts pretty aggressive like a male tho. Took ur advice on my sunshine! Bought him and he was stunning, but then put him in the tank and he just turned dull as hell. I just put him in a tank w/juvie peacocks so he'll b the dominant one for sure. Hope it works out. All the rest of my guys look pretty good I think. The fusco is the stunner for sure! Eureka red OB looks great, Apache sulfur head looks great, red top hongi looks great, etc. U can see them in my newest vid I posted of u want. High hopes my sunshine will turn around like urs did.
Kevin Pitts yeah for sure let me know what happens with the sunshine but it sure helped mine! Let him be dominant in the smaller tank & put on some good size👍🏻 I'll check the video out now
Cool tank & nice vid. I do wish though that people would differentiate between the rift lakes rather than just calling them "african cichlids". Reason being that the information for/about malawi cichlids often doesn't apply to cichlids from tanganyika & victoria. It most definitely doesn't apply to west africans.
I see rainbow sharks and clown loaches in cichlid tanks all the time on RUclips. I have 2 rainbow sharks and they are my favorite fish so far! Once I get a peacock tank set up, do you think I can add them together?
Jeppy 18 I have a rainbow in there right now although I have noticed he's getting nipped a little more recently, as the Africans have been getting a lot bigger. I'm starting a 55 juve tank soon though so he's going to go in there with them👍🏻 I'm sure you try it, see how it goes. Just have to shark be the first one in there
Sick Scooter both cool fish! I personally love the placidochromis jalo reefs. Check them out! I’ve just moved on the my show tank recently. I can’t wait to see how he progresses! Such a great looking fish
What fish was that in the thumbnail?! Looked amazing. Awesome vid, liked it, and after checking out your other work decided it would be a crime not to sub!!! Keep it up bro!
Samuel Farrelly thanks a lot for the kind words & for subscribing man! The fish in the thumbnail is my blue neon (aulonocara stuartgranti) Breeder male👍🏻
Samuil Ivanov 😂 yeah ones my wife's & I've had the shark for over 2 years so don't want to get rid of him. They both do well in the tank & have been in here for a good year
Great vid ... nice one ... Got some Cichlids myself and was wondering why there colour wasn't as bright... If u don't mind checking out my videos I've been struggling to sex mine only way I have been doing it is when there carrying fry ect .
Kieran Bartlett It's sometimes tough with mbuna. Checked out some of your vids & I see the majority of yours are mbuna. They're great as both the males and females show great color but for that reason they can be harder to sex. The only way is through venting them once they are sexually mature👍🏻
Cichlidscape • Nice one mate... I am going to try and change there food for a couple weeks see if i can get some colours out ... Maybe post a few videos of changes ... if any :)
Antoine Lewis some mbunas are more aggressive than others so it just depends on the type. For the most part I know yellow labs & acei are less aggressive but beyond that I’m not so sure👍🏻 you can vent males & females once they are sexually mature. There’s many videos on RUclips that explain it, although I haven’t done one yet. Hopefully soon😂 thanks for watching Antoine!
Great Tank & colors are vibrant, whats that silver strips fish ID at @3:40 on the bottom left corner (above the dark blue one) I have the exact same one but dont know the name?
Really nice tank love the rainbow shark too! I'v got one in with my green spot puffers, told there aggressive but not had any bother unless the puffers are intimidating enuff for him ha ha
In my opinion, a black background and darker (grey) rocks help. In my experience, light blue backgrounds with holy rock seems wash out their color. Anyone else have this experience?
I've heard the same, so I always paint the back of my tanks black. I go with a somewhat darker gravel and have a mixture of different rock colors. At the same time, the kind of lights you have make a big difference as well
Man I've done EVERYTHING you've mentioned and these other videos! Down to Vita-Chem Vitality Zooplankton and Garlic Gaurd for supplements for their food etc... WC'S 80%a week I know there's a hierarchy peaking order etc and I have 31 Cichlid's total in my 125 tank now I'm seeing my Brand New Turkis Peacock and then my Blue Fire Phoenix Peacock colors fading away like there protecting themselves from others WHICH I know they do but what else could I do to help? It's not food, pictures, lights etc... It's what's in my tank almost all Peas and Hap's and 2 Mbuna's and 6 OBS the rest are Lemon Jake, Tawain Reef, Electric Blue etc... "Myy showcase fish" there coloring down.... ANYONE that's able to give advice it's much appreciated thank you in advance!
Thanks for sending this in mate. This is a tough one. Sadly it seems like you can put this down to African cichlids being African cichlids. This is going to happen. An option would be to take out the dominant fish/boss and see if this helps other fish color up. This will sometimes work if the tank boss is a bit of a jerk. Besides that….I would say just give it time. Those fish may just be going through a weird phase and it might take them a while to become 100% comfortable again and color back up
@@cichlidscape Well FIRST thanks for responding! Yess that's the ONLY thing I have left to do.... Before I'm going to take all fish out of water during a WC and theen rescape the WHOLE tank and then add them back in so EVERYONE'S going to be 😳 shiiit what happened BC my ONE bully is the most vibrant color Orange OB I haven't personally seen one EVER like him and I'm apart of on a FB page and follow others here in FL
david stewart I’m not too sure about that David. For a lot of people rainbow sharks don’t work but mine has been with my Africans for 4+ years now & has always done well. Trail & error I guess! But I personally don’t see why red tails or bala’s couldn’t work. The bala’s do get very large though. That would be the major potential issue I could see. Depends on what size tank & what kind of af’s you have. Thanks for checking out the channel👍🏻
M Lo I use a current satellite freshwater led + on this aquarium👍🏻 I’m actually planning on doing a video on this light pretty soon🎬 thanks for watching & commenting my friend
toast23481 what places have you checked out? If your buying them young it can be 50/50 for a chance at a male. Just an educated guess you know👍🏻 thanks for watching man
Cichlidscape • well checked a couple of places that have Facebook pages but only have a male in their fish list once in a blue moon and even then might not be one of the peacocks I’m looking for. I’m considering just buying them all young from the store near me but hand picking from fin shape just to give me a better chance
toast23481 there’s a few that I know of. Imperial tropicals, south east cichlids & the cichlidshack to name a few👍🏻 you will have to pay more for the bigger definite males but if your willing to then that will work out for your showtank!
Dylan Bosgraaf it took this sunshine about 1 month to go from what he was, to what he is in the video. Once he became comfortable in the tank he really started coloring up👍🏻
Cichlidscape • very nice! I just got a breeding setup going. Going to try to breed my F1 blue neon. And something else. Maybe OB, dragonblood, maisoni reef afra or msobo
Wayne Smith they’ll begin to color up as they grow/ become more dominant in the tank👍🏻 every Cichlid differs in the time it takes them but some can start to show color as small as 1.5-2 inches
Wayne Smith that’s a good indicator also yeah👍🏻 you can also attempt to vent the fish if they are sexually mature. There’s tons of videos on that but that would be the best way to know for sure!
i love coyote peterson hahahaha I know exactly what you meant! The blood parrot is my wife’s....trying to keep it for her as she really finds him cute/amusing😂
Hi there, I want to know if Zonopelarge Secrets, will really work for me? I notice a lot of people keep on talking about this popular premature ejaculation treatment.
@@cichlidscape Danichi is the best other than Color enhancing Hormones. Danichi works best cycling on and off the food. Puedotrophus are my favorites, cheap, colorful, tough, and breed like rats.
you are doing something wrong. your cichlids are not well colored. the water temperature had to be right. as well as the water values. regular water changes. ideally no stones in the aquarium .. ideally only sand. so there is no evidence of district formation. and much more has to be considered.
anton auscomtpon based on how my fish look & how I’m breeding them....I would say I’m doing pretty good. Check out my recent videos and the fish I do have & my setups👍🏻 one other thing to consider, there’s many different ways to do things. Many different things can be correct👍🏻 thanks for watching & commenting though mate. I’d love to see videos of your setup & what you think is best
anton auscomtpon great looking ob’s. That strain is very different to the fish I’m breeding & growing out though. Most of the wild caught or pure bred Aulonocara don’t color up until 2-3inches big. Ob’s are different as they are not naturally found of course (man made strain as I’m sure you know)👍🏻
Ashelie Claesson yeah anything high in protein will do the trick! Just gotta be careful feeding it as Africans (especially mbuna & aulonocara) can get Malawi bloat pretty easily. Smaller digestive tract I believe. Thanks for watching & commenting!
I would stay away from anything they wouldn't "normally" eat in the wild. Not sure how many beef hearts fall into the waters of Lake Malawi. I always look at the first 5 or so ingredients of the food I'm buying
I FEED MY AFRICAN CICHLIDS ONLY OMEGA ONE FOODS....ABSOLUTELY THE BEST FISH FOOD ON THE MARKET...READ THE INGREDIENTS....NO FISH MEAL, ONLY WHOLE FISH....MY FISH COLORS ARE AMAZING

beautiful fish
The blue hap or peacock with the white blaze? Whats the species name on that guy?
Sick Scooter I believe your talking about the electric blue fryeri. Awesome fish & fairly common in LFS’ etc. Really cool fish!
I got a electric blue fryeri and white blaze azurus hap just to make sure. Thats one of the best looking imo because of the blue and white contrast.
Sick Scooter both cool fish! I personally love the placidochromis jalo reefs. Check them out! I’ve just moved on the my show tank recently. I can’t wait to see how he progresses! Such a great looking fish
Yeah I like those as well. I got a buccochromis noto. and I dont know why but Im liking them lately. Think its their funny looking faces.

what process to see if their males.
Wayne Smith they’ll begin to color up as they grow/ become more dominant in the tank👍🏻 every Cichlid differs in the time it takes them but some can start to show color as small as 1.5-2 inches
can you tell by the anal tail has a pointed tip?
Wayne Smith that’s a good indicator also yeah👍🏻 you can also attempt to vent the fish if they are sexually mature. There’s tons of videos on that but that would be the best way to know for sure!

just have to watch out. beef heart have lots of protein. youll get a bloat. bloat is deadly...
I would stay away from anything they wouldn't "normally" eat in the wild. Not sure how many beef hearts fall into the waters of Lake Malawi. I always look at the first 5 or so ingredients of the food I'm buying
Link for that skull?
