Should you use ALFAGROG in your filters ? I take a look at this highly rated media
มุมมอง 1.9Kปีที่แล้ว
I purchased 15kg of ALFAGROG for my aquarium, added to my 200L sump ALFAGROG is rated highly across the fish keeping hobby so I decided to give it a try and add a bag to my sump , I see how easy the product is to use , does it need washing ? Will it cloud my water , is it value for money , I find out. www.alfagrog.com groups/813770220043545/?ref=share

HI, nice video thanks. How did you refill with clean water? direct into the filter or into the tank with a bucket?
I like all central and south american cichlids. I have got RedDevils, Barred Midas, Texas, Oscars, Chocolate, Vieja and Jack Dempsey all in the same tank they look great. Cannot wait for mine to get as big as your specimen.
Your tank water is so dirty, lots of particles are floating in the water
I have a 55 instead of getting an oscar that will outgrow my tank. i will get the next best thing
My misses would of killed me with no towels n water on the carpet
Subscriber 372, remember this day 😂😂
Ive got alot of noise from this filter any ideas
Could be trapped air inside it or the impeller needs cleaning (they rattle when that happens)
You real like they are so common....I have to order them and get them shipped over 1500 miles.....
In my small pond I have one mechanical filter and two of alfagrog, totaling 30 kilo's My pond Since using this is gin clear, without using anything else - uv's etc. In fact people with no knowledge of ponds are always impressed with the clarity of the water. Rarely do I get an ammonia spike, and my fish are clearly happy - in my 5 star fish hotel!!

Seems like a pretty chill one to me. How big is your tank?
I had acara. They are the most difficult fish to keep. They are problem eaters. I could not get mine to eat anything. They die so easily
Thanks, You can me a video about difference sexual, please!
Where can I find fish that are being rehomed ?
well youtube does it again I bought 6 of these today without breathing a word of it to anyone didn't look them up on the phone didn't even take the phone with me then your video shows up in my stream tonight. The strain was developed in Thailand I think but oddly enough this is the first time in 5 years I saw them for sale here in Chiangmai.
Great looking fish.and nice-looking tank
I'm sorry to hear what's going on there. They have not started that here in the US. I have four large tanks myself. I have two heaters in each one of them controlled by an ink bird heater control. And four Fluval fx6 running them. I hope it gets better for you guys there because this is a great Hobby
Nice looking fish
Nice-looking tanks
Oh there from Texas! That’s why they so aggressive
I’ve got just one looking to get more. Nice content
Great vid 👍
Question: what are the differences between the sexes? I think it's something to do with forehead and fin shape? I have one with that little dent in the forehead and it seems they are starting to get faint darker stripes on the back half of the body. The fins have a slight point at the edges (the back fin that isn't tail and the top one) he's slightly bigger than my hand, smaller than 20 cm. Beautiful fish and he is very cute
Seems fairly chill to me.
I got American electric blue acara with African electric blue johanii together in one tank, and unfortunately, my American blue acara got killed by African Johanii -- it keeps chasing and bite American blue acara even though it is much smaller than acara. I had to remove the African johanii last week and gave it back to the store.
Never mix American chilcids with africans your asking for it
We catch ours in Louisiana 😂😂
Does he attack your Blue Acara ?
Бриллиантовая цихлазома очень красивая рыба, но гоняет всех за свою территорию. 👍
My Texas is the tank boss too
I added 3 to my barb community tank with tiger barbs, rosy bards and glo tetras. They adjusted quickly and are doing great.
Many years ago I had a few various cichlids and one pictus cat in a 55g, they were all about 3-5 inches at the time. One day I was feeding them little bits of steak. Most of it was eaten by the cichlids on sight, but occasionally they would miss a piece and it would sink to the bottom where the catfish would find it by following the scent. One time as the catfish found a piece and began to eat it, a Texas cichlid that was sitting a couple of inches away suddenly lashed out in rage a tore the catfish's eye out. I was shocked, and upset because I had purchased the catfish a few days earlier, and I really enjoyed watching the him find the food by following the scent. The next day the catfish was dead, with eyes and it's internal organs eaten out. I didn't dare waste anymore money on another pictus cat to replace it.
My Texas cichlid ate my Jack Dempsey, along with my African cichlids and algae eaters. He’s the only one left in the tank now.

Can i keep red Texas with angelfish?
New subscriber
Thats a Rio Honcho cichlid, not a Texas. Texas much more a grey color
Fantastic video! I'm in SA so loadshedding is horrid with this hobby and has caused many aquarium businesses to shut down
Hmmm & u can keep him w ur EBA’s which is impressive that he’s not beating on them as EBA’s are very passive imo.
I recently acquired 3 2" Texas Cichlids and I have them in a small outdoor connecting pond. I live in NY state, should I take them in, in winter ? Or, should I put them in w my koi fish in the slow moving stream w an outdoor heater in winter ? 5:04 6:41 The pond is medium size and fed by a continuous stream of water on one end and a small waterfall on the opposite end. All the ponds in my area of upstate NY are fed by well water and run off from rain water. The pond freezes over in winter and has some 6"koi and a variety of small mouth bass about 2" to 10" in size. Its basically very clear and clean and it has plant life around the periphery and some beautiful light green algae in the shallows. All the fish appear to get along. I won't allow the Cichlids out of the small pond into the big pond until I find out if they will survive the winter in the big pond. I can put them in the stream w the other Koi population I have w an outdoor heater which allows the water to keep flowing all year round. The falls never freeze either and year after year the current fish population keeps on thriving. 7:01
Just got my first. Wonderful fish.
How fast do they hrow to that size? Thanks for sharing 💯💗👍✌️
Hi mark , the largest I have now are around 5 inches and that has taken around 1 year , they have also started to pair up and I have had fry from them , at time of the video they were all around 5-6 months 👍🏻
The bigger the tank the better I had mine in a 75 for a while but had to separate cause she was fighting every thing in the tank (2 eclipse catfish, jack Dempsey, bumblebee cichlid and a red fin borleyi) she didn’t really mess with the red fin though and he was the chillest of them. Moved to a 20 gallon when she was about 3” now in a 55 and about 9” and maybe 4 years old. Would love to have her in a community style tank. And they will arrange their tank the way they want it lol.
Electric blue beautiful fish , very nice aquarium, sub for you, hello welccome to yt👌👌👌
Amazing fish , Appreciate it thanks
These are my Electric Blue Acaras. th-cam.com/video/X-LpZN88af0/w-d-xo.html
Great content! Can i please get your opinion on my 55g setup. Currently I have a full grown colony of 12 albino corydoras, 1 adult red eye tetra, and 1 recently purchased EBA. in a planted tank. Right now everyone gets along great. My question is would a breeding pair be ok in a 55 with all those corydoras? I was contemplating buying more EBA's from tbe same shop/ same size in hopes 2 will pair off, and rehome the other EBA's. Thank you in advance!!! Subbed for future content!!😎
Hi thanks for the great feedback , like most cichlids EBAs get very aggressive and territorial when paired up and guarding eggs/fry , this isn’t always a problem if there is plenty of space for other fish to avoid them and they are tough hardly fish , large cichlids ect , with a 55 potentially they may class the whole tank as the area that needs protecting and therefore damage your corydoras. It sounds like everyone is getting on well and you have a good thing going on , you may ruin that balance once 2 of them pair up but that won’t be until there are probably about 4 inches in size , i would add the EBAs , wait a year or so until you start to see a pair forming then give them a tank of there own , doesn’t have to be big , but just them and a small sponge filter would be enough , hope that helps
@@aquaticswithandy8628 I just added 3 slightly smaller EBA's. The one I have had for the past month is being aggressive to all 3 smaller newcomers. Do you think this will settle down in time?
Will EBA's generally speaking get along with Angels & parrot cichlids?
Hi Linda , yea EBA can get alone fine with angelfish as long as you don t have a breeding pair , EBA get very aggressive when egg laying and they are a bit too boisterous and bulky for the more delicate angelfish so just be careful , as for parrots I have never had them together but EBAs are generally good with all but the largest and aggressive cichlids
Looks more like a Carpintis than a Texas.
Such a Beautiful tank! I love these fish there are videos saying one can live in a 40 gallon while other videos say nothing smaller than a 55 gallon. What is your recommendation on tank size required for a full grown electric blue Acara. Thanks
Hi Lee thanks , it’s a tough one cos given time they do grown to a fairly good size like 6 inch for example and you don’t want them to fee crowded so bigger is always better , saying that they don’t grow to fast so you couldn’t defiantly start a few in a 40 for a while with no problems and maybe look for a group in a 75 more long term 👍🏻
@@aquaticswithandy8628 This advice sounds very reasonable Thanks for your reply I'm always learning
👍🏻👍🏻
Never give my Dempsey's up for nobody
Wonderful fish arnt they
You should ve washed them more
Did I see a tiger in there?
I have 2 tiger Oscar’s in there yep 👍🏻
