Can I keep with them few clown loaches ??

I have mine with my polar blue cichlids with no problems

I keep hearing something about convict being monogamous .. Quick Q&A? When convict ‘s mate-they mate for life? False!!! this is so false-coupled off possibly but wit hundreds in ex:180gal community tank- my 1yr. Experiment was a crazy Experience, most of what we hear is true, however-there are several myths floating about like #1 again-in equal sizes & numbers-with Equal female to male ratio-or paired up-they do tend to get very nasty-& pair off..however I’m 100% both jump ship/at any Convict related/enticement 100% tone down-living wit various different fish. As a Bass eats a sun fish when it’s natural predators are always present upon 🧼 soapy suds on top of the surface water Sick? Naaa just -8-convicts got nasty & rough-ending in -well/hundreds, upon hundreds & nesting, guarding whenever I see the foam..I start to look. It honestly depends on their size-but in general if you keep Convicts & dont sell them for a living-follow advice or it will be the end of keeping fish. Trust me & you need -2jack’s -2Jags, -2true giant Blood 🩸Parrot(who would never mate with any of my Convicts) & his buddy -2 red fin shark-barb-8” these two r egg devours my convicts r three different colors & personal feel -the days of the black convicts-r just long gone-with pinks/snows/blue eyes/H.Red-pointers-I achieved all three colors without any form of hybridization-as these-4-are all convicts

Very very useful, ours have just spawned!!! Lol, then we thought they were eating them!!!

Those are vettitus. Maybe one might be vestitus 😂😂😂

I need more help in telling the difference in male and female especially when they're young? Please help 🙏

That's not a full grown Oscar

1 drop per gallon, so you put in 2 drops, 18 drops short man.

shouldn't you have more Nitrate in your water???

You said 1 drop per gallon would be 20 drops

👍😉👍 😉👍

very good vid thank you

Your levels suck. Either your color blind or you cant read a color chart.

Sir, what about thorichthys species, such as thorichthys maculipinnis? They are very closely related. Do they need the same temperature for general keeping? I am wondering because I saw conflicting information online. Some recommend as high as 79-82 claiming it boosts the immune system, while other as low as 72-75 in order to increase oxygen saturation.

I dont even follow or watch anything related to fish but this was in my recommended so ok, cool video nonetheless XD

Awesome video!

Yeah. This doesn't look at all correct to me.. If you did properly add the other 18 drops to bring it to 2ppm, and it's now gone down near zero (It looks like it's pretty close), then it would have converted to nitrite. It looks like that's around .25ppm now, it certainly doesn't look like zero, but it would have been much higher from a 2ppm ammonia dose (Probably near the top of the scale). So, if most of the nitrite has also converted, it would have become nitrate, but it looks like the nitrate is near zero and that couldn't happen unless you did a water change, or screwed up the testing. Did you follow the instructions properly for the nitrate test? My guess is that you didn't properly shake bottle 2, (It needs 30 seconds or more of hard shaking before you use it).

Very informative thank you.

Did you water change? Full? Or... And how often? Thank you!

Best video I've found on convicts!

Is there a filter in there? I can’t tell. Beautiful job though. I’m working on something like this myself.

You keep messing up using the word "Nitrite" when you mean to say "Nitrate" (or Vice Versa) making things ten times more confusing than they already are....examples are at 2:55 and 8:47. You should loop this with the correct term or your just confusing people even more. Good video otherwise!

I've kept convicts on and off for years and just last year I bought a few, long story short, my pair had babies several times in the end only 2 survived (I let nature take its course, survival for the fittest), now I have two young males, one's bigger and he fights my catfish for territory! My other convicts died of a disease which I couldn't cure (inflamed fins, let me know if you know what that is)

You have no Nitrates, this tank is Not cycled at all. Please don't post false Information.

You did an excellent job with this video. I'm catching up on freshwater shrimp and appreciated all of the information you've shared here. Thanks so much and thumbs UP!

Good way to use the “N” word without risking a ass whoopen !

This is great. A real nice intro into a really intimidating process. Thanks

i used that product and didnt work for me then i used the stability and it worked money wasted

How do you k ow when the cycle is complete

Shouldn't Nitrates have gone up if it was cycling? I thought nitrates were the byproduct/sign of proper cycle?

eight years later and I find this video while my new tank is also 3 days old XD.

i like much your video and all you explain about the cichlids, i have just one male cichlid convict black streaps , i had another lind of fishs but he kill to all of them, now i do a 10 gallons just for him ,my question is why he remove all the gravel and make a hole and he stay there ? im trying to find a same kind od him but female but how he is a bigger is no easy find it same size

Are you just reading off of Wikipedia? Not gonna lie, pretty boring

I just got 2 small ones with nice orange and blue on the bottom, I didn’t know those were girls. I was hoping for 2 pit bull type that can tolerate a very mean green terror. But I doubt 2 small girls can take the abuse. We’ll see

Should I keep my filter on when I’m adding dr Tim’s?

Thanks bud I’m setting up my 55 gallon you’ve been a big help in my cycling journey 👍

Nice fish i planning to get black covint cichid

Why did you say they should be kept on their own but there’s different types of cichlids in the tank

now its 4 drops of amonia per gallon

Oi sir, may i ask you a questions? I was cycling my tank and it was bout 3 weeks now. But now green algae was grow at my dr and dsb. It is normal? Should i put the algae eater now? Like a turbo snail maybe? Thanks sir.. and pardon me if my English is not good

How should I prepare their veggie diet?

Also remember you had live sand and rocks. I wouldn't praise Dr. Tims snake oil to much. JMO

I'm currently cycling new tank, different one but with bacterial. This video was very good tutorial to understand how all the things work!

I don't get it - it looks totally 'not' cycled. I don't get it.

Hey it says 4 drops per gallon.. I have a 20.. do I have to add 80 drops -++-

Hey I just got a 20 gallon set up. I have dry rocks and live sand. I added water in and the water is clear now. What’s the next step

Thank you for heads up. I was considering a pair for a 35 gallon tank. That is more frye than I can handle.

convinced me to get these convicts doing my research first

Great info, Thanks!
