    ‎ Cory visited Aquahaus-Gaus, probably the largest African cichlid wholesaler on the planet with more than 2500 aquariums holding over 1 million liters of water. This warehouse also serves as a Malawi cichlid breeding facility and general fish store for the public. If you are looking for a specific African cichlid species, color variant, and size, they probably have it. Amazingly, this giant facility is technically a mom-and-pop store that is run by a husband and wife with only 3 employees. Find out how this small team is able to run such a high end and massive operation.

      The Lethrinops Red Caps. I really enjoyed this video as an African Cichlids keeper and would say that’s has to be the single best collection of those under one roof. Period.

      I used to be..mostly Mbuna. Really loved that one that I don't think got named, but it's head looked like rainbow sherbet. Never seen one anything like that before. Seeing adult demonsoni, etc was really great too.
      I wish there was a time machine to FF the US hobby somewhere remotely on the level of Europe and Asia.

    This place has to be the best looking and cleanest breeding/wholesale/ fish store I’ve ever seen. It is beyond amazing and looks so relaxing too. Whoever owns that place gets a 10/10 for all their hard work. I’d be in my element looking at all those beautiful fish.

    Hey Cory, the way they have it set up with the timers and every other thing they do would be a GREAT info vid for people to use in their home set ups or fish rooms/garages and allow people to have more tanks/fish because it's more efficient.

    been keeping African Cichlids since the mid 70's. I have never ever seen anything like that here in the States. a real shame that we have nothing even close to that. All the good stuff is all going through Europe first. We can't even get some species here. I'm into Tanganyikians about the past 25 yrs or more and some of the rarer Petrochromis are very difficult to get now here yet I see the European folks posting all the time on FB all the good stuff.
