I’m just riding the wave with what I’ve got and hoping for a decent outcome 😂. Fingers crossed it works out for both of us!

@@TheFinalTankBoss haha! Same as that buddy! I've only had my Malawis a few months as well 🤣 hopefully raising geophagus, and a few angels etc will help me 🤞

@@JustDanUK Yes when I had Mbunas they all bred like crazy and the fry grew up quite well without removing them from the main display. I’ve had to remove these because of my predator haps. They made short work the last time one of the females spit in the tank!

@@kuchbhi5066 Thanks a lot! They tend to ship quite well. Quite hardy fish. Hope you get some good ones!

@@SterlingConsultantsLLC 100% I need to try this!

15 aquariums! Wow! How long does water change day take?

Complete nightmare!!

Yes. It’s mega. 1st time I’ve had 1 in the bedroom. No regrets so far

1/10 experience. Do not recommend!

@@andrewderksen3342 I think maybe I would. I think they are really good looking fish. Some OB displays are incredible. I just feel like I haven’t got the original model when I have them. It’s like loving Game of Thrones but not getting into the spin off series because it’s not the same. It’s the best way I can describe it😂

@@TheFinalTankBoss I agree :)👍

One of my all time favourites this one. What a nightmare. These fish are so unpredictable!!

@@andrewderksen3342 Wish I had one near me. Any good recommendations?

@@alistairmacdonald2634 This looks awesome. I’ve not seen this before. I’ll definitely give it a try!

@@chefsteve8381 Yeh I’ve been meaning to give this a try. I’ve heard it has lots of benefits for the fish and switches up the flavours.

@@unrulyboss411 Appreciate it man ❤️

@@iamvinceong6493 yes. I used glass baffles. The sump was originally set up for a marine tank. I removed the glass baffles and relocated them using aquarium safe silicone. Some appear acrylic, as the sump originally had a refugium. Black acrylic is siliconed to these baffles to prevent light escaping and algae growing in the return section.

@@M.King826 convict Cichlids do have similar water parameters to African cichlids. I wouldn’t do this just based on the different hierarchy’s these fish establish in comparison to Malawis, but I can’t see any issues with this if done correctly.

@@TheFinalTankBoss Thanks

No problem!

Hey, Thanks for the heads up! Not too sure why this one has failed to upload in 4K. I need to think about changing the title! 😅

@@MarkBritland awesome! I think if I had made some tweaks to my sump set up I could of reduced the amount of CO2 I was using on my planted set up. I was also using a maxspect gyre in that set up to add some flow but the surface agitation that created, enhanced the gas exchange along with the sump. I love the sump set up. My planted tank was rather successful. It was just the really finicky plants I couldn’t get tot take off. But I agree, you can definitely still have a successful planted aquarium using the sump

Yeh the 407 is awesome. What sort of issues did you run into with this one? I havnt set it up yet so would be great to know what to expect

@@TheFinalTankBoss was the flow I wasn’t overly impressed with.

@@antsan9779 absolutely. I’ve even had peacocks and haps claim heaters in tanks as their territory when I’ve not placed any rocks in.

@@antsan9779 ok Z-rock would be Kool 👀

@@peterboroughkoi6084 They really are a great addition to an African Cichlid tank. And some are absolutely stunning. Have you had any aggression issues with yours? The one I have now is really chilled, but the last 3 before were real assholes.

@@TheFinalTankBoss they really are and no aggression, as they are smaller then my mbuna but my mbuna I go for the more chilled out ones then aggressive like yellow labs and a few others

@@peterboroughkoi6084 yeah most Labs don’t cause any issues in all honesty. They are a really placid Mbuna. I’ve never had any problems whatsoever keeping these.

This just could be a case of the fish settling into a new environment with other fish they don’t know, I dont think it would be a great cause for concern for the first couple of days. They may just be adjusting to a new environment.

@@TheFinalTankBoss and also why are my new African cichlids hiding while turning on light and and active when turning off light how can I make them active in light

@@SushantShrestha-ob6ro are you keeping MBUNAS or Peacocks?

@@TheFinalTankBoss mbunas

Agreed! Makes for better viewing. I also like the fact that some of the females still have a lot of colour with Mbuna aswell!

I agree , plus they don’t grow to big aswell plus you can have more aswell

They look even better in person. The camera doesn’t do it justice. The things I’d do for a tank conservatory!

@@TheFinalTankBoss I currently have two tanks in mine , one 240 litre and 180 litre and then I have a small 30 litre in my living room

@@peterboroughkoi6084 Awesome. What fish are you keeping?, I’ve just got a 24x24 shallow aquarium for a bargain. I’m going to turn it into something special. Still deciding what though. Don’t know weather to get some shell dwellers or do a planted set up.

@@TheFinalTankBoss in my 240 I have discus , in my 180 I have mbuna smaller ones and in my 30 litre I have two female bettas
