    Today's video is a full tutorial on how to setup an African Cichlid Breeding Tank. We go through the tank, adding sand, aquascaping, & of course adding the fish. We also see our Blue Neon Cichlid (Aulonocara Stuartgranti) Male in all his glory with some awesome shots towards the end of the video. I think it's fair to say, he loves his new aquarium!
    The Aquarium Setup:
    Tank- 33 gallon long (4ft long)
    Sand- Caribsea African Cichlid Sand
    Heater/Temperature- Keeps this tank at 77-78F
    Rocks/Decor- Locally sourced rocks & OG Skull
    Filtration- Sponge filters
    Lighting- Basic LED Aquarium Light
    Let me know your thoughts down below in the comments, and thank you for watching!

    Awesome videos. I noticed in one of your other videos you had a simple LED LIGHT that you just plugged in when you needed it. What kind of light was that? Scott

    Firstly Lewis yeah I remember the skull. The fish room is coming together pretty well. Doing a breeding project is all very nice but there's a massive amount of work involved as I'm sure you know from your past projects. Personally I would just enjoy the fish and let nature take it's course. I have a pair of Rainbow cichlids that breed every two weeks, they all get eaten over a few days. I could take them out but what would I do with a hundred juvenile Rainbows. Keep em coming. Take care and stay safe mate

    • @cichlidscape
      @cichlidscape  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That skull is about as old as my fish keeping hobby hahaha crazy. & thanks for your input mate. That’s honestly what I’m leaning toward. Maybe I’ll take control of tumbling some fry later down the road if non survive in the tank by themselves. Just to keep the line going you know👍🏻 thanks for watching & commenting pal

    To much talk. A real turn off. No need to show the fish transfer for so long. Gave no specific PH or water hardness parameters of temp . You shouldn’t be the star. The parameters and any feeding advice should be.
