  • Adding New African Cichlids to tank can be a disaster if not done right. African Cichlids have a hierarchy in the tank and if not done properly your new fish can quickly fall victim to the others aggression.

      When you do your water change I notice you put the Prime in the tank before adding the water, I thought you were suppose to de-chlorinate the water first before adding it into the tank.

    Hey Kav! Absolutely great information! I was given a whole tank (50 gal) set up over a year ago & kept it storage. I always had fish when I was kid (70’s), none of the great products they have today! Lol My cousin built my filters & we did old school tank cycling. I don’t know how I kept them alive! 😬😂 Doing research I fell down a rabbit hole & came across your channel. You are thorough and straight up. I was interested in cichlids and after watching a lot of your vids - freshwater tank and cichlids it is. I’m starting out with 4 African and a rescued plecos. So far so good just dealt with an ammonia spike & grateful for your vid on that! Please keep up the Great work!

    Mannn.. After coming across your channel the last couple of days... Im dying to upgrade 🤣🤣
    Currently have 2 120 litre tanks (just under 30gallons I think) pretty good size and a little 40litre hospital tank lol
    But nothing like your 150G and especially the 210 that thing is insane😍🤯. My plan is to sell both and go big with one huge tank in the coming future (fingers crossed) may have to be a custom build because of where I plan to put it lol... always wanted a much bigger tank. You've got me fired up my dude
    Loving the content by the way.. Oh I checked out the video you reccomended on regards to cleaning the gravel while doing a water change, may have to try this method seems effective

      API stress coat is primarily a de-chlorinator but also helps with the fishes slime coat which is good for stress. Stress guard is not a de-chlorinated, its only for stress but its much more stronger and concentrated than api stress coat.

    Question: unfortunately I couldn’t fix the seal issues with an older model fluval canister filter so I purchased a The marineland polishing filter - fully submersible & supposed to handle up 97 gallon tank. If you don’t mind me asking here- Have you heard of it & what’s your thoughts on submersible filters? It also creates a great current really moves the water & I can adjust it to flow up, down, left or right. I am still going to put in a wave maker though.

I have another question I was recently given the pineapple from spongebob as decoration for the tank. But have recently found out it’s bad for the tank and releases chemicals in it due to the paint chipping. Is this true? I’ve tried googling it and some say it’s okay and some say it’s really bad.

    I am getting ready to start my new 125 peacock chiclid tank. now this tank was already established as it is a rehomed tank. I have a forza 13 with uv filter (established and came with) and an fx6 as well (will need cycled) taking some water from my wifes 125 that we are taking down and moving to get my 125 going. so it is a semi established tank. I see that you want to add as many as possible at first to try and curb aggression and also don't keep repeating the pecking order. On the other side you put to many fish in you spike the ammonia and crash the system. I know there are so many varying factors which is why I gave you so much information. what is your suggestions as far as the first group of fish. and then adding others safely in the future?

    Dope.. when did you get your OB Taiwan Reefs? And what size did you buy them at? I just got my 2 “2.5”-3” guaranteed male” Taiwan reef OBs 2 weeks ago from SRC and I can tell they are males by their egg spots and they are just starting to show little glimmer of blue in their faces, but I heard they take a long time to grow and color up. Yours looks like like it’s already starting to show color so how long have you had it and how long did it take for it to start coloring up like that

    • @KaveManAquatics
      @KaveManAquatics  3 года назад

      No, Stability daily only until your tank has finished cycling. After that you only need to add prime or safe during water changes. That's a high ammonia out of your tap, but the prime or safe will detoxify it long enough for your bacteria to convert it.

I also want to keep African Cichlid. I’ve been trying to do my research and it led me to your channel. I was wondering if you could give me advice. Like how many should I get for a 55? Should I get 2 blood parrots? Can I keep a pleco with them? What kinds of Cichlids should I get? I watched your playlist for beginners and it’s help me a ton so I thank you!
