- Today we are doing a tour if the entire fish room! It's been a long time since we've done a complete walk-through. We'll be checking out all our African cichlids, Madagascan cichlids (Malagasy), and even a few South Americans and Monster Fish! I hope you enjoy the video.

You have the finest fish collection I have ever seen. I'm so impressed. Thank you for sharing.
This is by far in my opinion the best fish room on RUclips,the fish and aquariums are amazing keep up the good work Riff Waters👍
Wow thank you! I appreciate the support.
@@Riffwaters can’t wait for the next Video!
Beeindruckend. Alle Aquarien auch super eingerichtet. Tolle Fische. Gute Arbeit 👍
I’m in amazement over this. Incredible fish room and your love of the hobby shines through! This must be a full time job. The number of subs is bound to increase! Thank you.
Hey thanks so much! Yes, it's a labor of love, for sure.
In a word, wow. Incredible tanks, and homemade! Very impressive cichlid collection. Great job.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching the tour.
Your fishroom is beautiful 😍 your aquariums look amazing!
Thanks Lisa! I really appreciate all your support. My first tour ever was part of your Member videos. 😁
U have many fish I’ve never seen in anyone else’s fish room n that’s what makes this channel cool!! Of course I haven’t seen every fish room on RUclips, but the ones I have I’ve never seen many of what u have. If u keep this trend I believe this channel will do very well!! I mean u don’t have to stick solely to fish no one else has bcuz there are so many amazing fish species but daring to be different can be such a refreshing view for many fish lovers around the RUclips world #subbed
I appreciate that. I do indeed like some uncommon fish, but you are correct there are so many awesome options out there.
Hands down you have one of the best fish room on RUclips 🫡
Thank you! That's very kind of you to say.
Awesome job !
I don’t know how I never came across this channel, but this is definitely in the top three fish rooms I’ve ever seen. The whole set up of the room is phenomenal and this dude is in it for the love of the hobby, I hope others watch and get inspired to start their own room even if it just starts with a 10 gallon Guppy tank! 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words.
The tour was awesome really enjoy your awesome collection of tanks and fish. Keep them coming.
Thanks so much!
I believe that this fish room is the best on RUclips by far and im not a big African chiclid guy. Ever since I came across your channel back when you were building the 200 gallon cube tank if have no other fish room that comes close. Lots of very nice ones but not this level.
Wow thanks so much! I appreciate you sticking with the channel for so long.
This is nuts! Awesome 👍👍👍
Thank you!
You have the best tanks bro. I also love how clean your room is too.
Good job;)
Hey thanks! I appreciate the support.
Dope video brother! Love all of your aquariums! Great setup!
Much appreciated!
Always so beautiful to watch my friend
Thanks! I appreciate the support.
Love the starry night ive just got mine to pair up,ive done the same as you and have a few pairs to see who like who lol.Love all the tanks very well setup.
Hey thanks! And good luck with your Starry Nights.
A lovely room. I’ve always enjoyed your videos.
Thanks Paul! And congrats to you as I see your channel has been growing very well.
Love finding people who can use scientific names correctly!! Great fish room tour! What will you do when the mangroves outgrow the space you’ve set up? I’m a horticulturist by trade and have my own fish breeding business in Australia & I’ve never seen mangroves grown inside like this! Now I want to do it too. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you! And for the mangroves, I'll move them into bigger tanks with time. I've also seen people keep them manageable for a while via pruning. But eventually, yes they'll get big and I'll have to figure something out.
Amazing tanks, thanks for sharing! 😮
Thank YOU for watching!
Best fish room I’ve seen
Thank you!
Great fish room 👍👏
Thanks!
Doing both glass and acrylic, now that’s a multiverse I’m interested in! Maybe a future video on the acrylic bonding process and the way it differs from sealing glass.
Great video idea for the future!
Where did you find your Mamelela Lemon jakes? This is the best fish room on RUclips no question. I have no words simply amazing.
Thank you! My Jakes came from a club auction, but for great fish from retail sellers I always recommend Dave's Rare Aquarium Fish.
Nice tanks man super clean😎
So how often do you do your feedings and tank maintenance.
Thanks! I feed twice a day, usually. Tank maintenance is about every 2 weeks for each tank.
Great video 😊 Detroit
So glad you enjoyed it!
i could imagine the 285 gal tank with some rare plecos and some really good Pinoy angelfish, maybe a few L152 or L95 would fit in perfectly with the sand
Ooh that L95 looks cool. And big!
Amazing fish room. Those albino threadfin acaras are beautiful. I think those buccos are juvenile nototaenia tho. Rhodessi yellow have a more elongated body and head and they also get much much bigger as adults.
Thanks for the tip on the Buccos. And I appreciate the kind words!
wow great fishroom subbed
Thanks for subscribing!
Do you have any electric blue ahli haps i think its “Sciaenochromis”?
Hello I am just trying my Fish Room going, I have 2 75gal and 2 40 gallon tanks. I really liked how you made your stands so you could stack them. Hope did you make those stands?
Wow. I love your videos. Absolutely stunning! What kind of rocks are in the 200 cube tank? I've been in the hobby for decades. I have never seen such beautiful and well scaped tanks. Fish are amazing too! Wow wow wow
Thank you so much! And the rocks in the 200 are actually the cheap rocks you see used in retention ponds and such. I think they're man-made.
Oh. Ok thanks. They don't look cheap! Lol. Very nice!
So beautiful! Definitely should be proud ❤
Hey can you please tell me the type of driftwood you have in the pinstripe Damas tank? Please and thank you 🙏
Thank you! And the wood is large Manzanita. Bought from a booth at an Aquashella convention.
Ever consider saltwater?
That 650 is incredible come build me one!
Haha. Thanks!
Awesome tanks! I’m curious what you use for filtration on them? Sumps? Canisters?
My bigger tanks use canisters (though some I wish I did sumps), smaller tanks are a combination of HOBs and sponges.
That one female of the blue labs was holding
👍👍👍
Love the update!! Where are the Frontosas?!
Sung! I moved them out to make room for some Malagasy (Madagascans).
@@RiffwatersGotcha. Those Paretroplus Menarambos look amazing!
Great fish room. Would love to hear more about your experience with the mangroves. I've got two red mangrove which I'm planning to add to a freshwater 125 gallon (dirted substrate), but nervous about reports of their roots growing through silicone.. how fast are yours growing, and are you doing anything special to protect the tank?
Great question and might be a good video someday. Short answer is I put them in an acrylic tank for that very reason. No silicone seams for the roots to penetrate. But they grow very slowly.
@@Riffwaters thanks for the info. How long has it taken yours to get to their current size?
@@ezwaters5847 about 2 years. The bigger ones closer to 3.
would you say that the STANDARD 125 gal aquarium is quite common in this hobby ?
I wouldn't quite call it common, but it's readily available for most people who want one.
Where do you source your glass? For these builds!?
A lot of my glass came from Glass Cages in Tennessee. They sell cut glass as well as full tanks. Best glass prices anywhere, but shipping is a lot.
You are the only person I have ever seen that has the blue variation of the yellow labs. I have been looking for that fish on and off for years. Any chance I could talk you into selling and shipping me a few of them??
Yeah they're tough to find. I unfortunately don't ship fish anymore, but I suggest Dave's Rare Aquarium Fish. That's where I ordered mine from.
Please show us more....❤👍🇵🇷✌😎
Will do! :)
can you cohabitate the all the paretroplus species ?
Yes, most of them! There is one species I do not have currently which is very aggressive. The P. nourissati. That is the only one I'd be hesitant with.
@@Riffwaters i meant put them all in the same tank if possible
@@user-tl5fg9hl6qYep! They can all go in the same tank, with the possible exception being the nourissati. Also, keep in mind they get big so it'd need a big tank. :)
@@Riffwaters so the smarter choice will be to keep them in separate medium tanks
Now this is a fish room💦💦💦
Thanks!
With the critically endangered fish- how did you get them. Shouldn’t they go back to the wild?
Captive bred specimens. But also, they don't have much home left in the wild. Unfortunately, keeping them in tanks might be the only way to continue them.
Tease they all think its time to eat
Are you using real or imitation rock
All the rock is real. And very heavy! :)
do you really like plants, no no..haha
Ha. I do actually! But I like my fish more and my fish like to eat plants. :)
.
For some reason 🥴 , I could have sworn you were going to be moving to a different place ❔ Tanks are looking darn good , and those Bala sharks are beautiful but it is unbelievable that the majority of fish shop's are still keeping them readily available 🫣
You're correct I HAD been planning to move. But that's now undecided.
