Love these guys, had my pair spawn for the first time just before last Christmas. They get less mettalic and almost glow when they are in breeding mode. Glad i keep them in a community ca tank though cause argentra just don't mantain the pair bonds after they are done breeding.
Oh, definitely! If only you could see the picture I took of it... just.. wow! I just wish I took a picture of the tank as a whole. It was massive and contained like 15 of them!!! 😨
I think the one I'm lucky to have found is amazing, Just a amazing, stunning Maskaheros Argenteus ! Actually purchased him at my 1st GCCA swap almost 2 years ago now. He's doing great and when someone stops by they love it and often ask if it's a saltwater fish.
Last guy is the most striking but if I had to take one home I’d go the Flametail as it’s compatible with my guys! I have a flametail juvenile from a great source so hopefully mine grows up all pretty!
Beautiful vieja argentea! I would like to get myself some pretty soon. I have vieja synspilum, and I would like to get several different species of vieja and other central and south american cichlids.
I have a hybrid of two hybrids that I would love to breed and make more of but I only have one... the flowerhorn parrot cichlid. such an amazing looking fish. just picked him up a few days ago and is fantastic looking. he's really small right now but I have seen some videos of them fully grown and I am very excited.
Jeremy I’m telling you I have some show stopper fish and wish I could share but I’ve found keeping fish by themself in large tanks has been the best way to show them off I just wish we had more stuff accessible to us as far as the fish to choose from. But with that being said how could you get the communities like you go to to come to places where I live? We have NOTHING and I’d really love to be part of a fish community!!
@@PrimeTimeAquatics so are you saying I should be getting individual books based on what kind of fish I have rather than just the type of water I'm dealing with
It just depends on what you like. There are generalist books and then the specialty books that deal with livebearers, African cichlids, cichlids from different lakes, different continents, etc.
I found some at a local fish store. As soon as I seen them. They were around 15 usd. I grabbed 3. One didn't make it but the other are growing fast. I have them in a 350g with other viejas. You can check them out on my channel.
I've got an amazing looking Protomelas Ornatus. Wish I could enter it in a contest. He's not very big yeiand still an amazing fish. Those were pretty fish.
I've never had them, however, I was talking with someone who had a group and the dominant males killed off the others. Based on the little I know I envision setting aside at least a 6ft tank for a pair? Again, I'm not the best person to ask though. : -)

Where can i get a MaskaHeros Argenteus?
Ccccc
The maskaheros argenteus 😍 What a great looking fish!
For sure! : -)
WOW that lost fish is a real stunner!!! It looks like it has an iridescent layer on it's back. Beautiful!
Hey! Ya, it was so crazy. I need one of those. : -)
WOAH that's one pretty fish, I've never heard of them so thanks for sharing!
This fish is very special. Iv seen these before but this one is a stunner.
Isnt that a vieja argentea? Ive had one before in a community tank. It was absolutely a stunningly beautiful fish
Yep - it goes by that name as well :-)
I had some Adult Venustus in the past and they were Fantastic looking, one of my Favorites. The nicest Smallest Fish I’ve had were some BADIS BADIS.
Great video. That fish is surely a jewel and a show stopper. Gorgeous!
I agree with you. That is a great fish. Really pretty.
👍💕👍
Maskaheros is definitely on my goals list! That fish was just stunning!
They sure are!
Very NICE! All of the fish you photo'd here are stupendous.
Thank you!
Love these guys, had my pair spawn for the first time just before last Christmas. They get less mettalic and almost glow when they are in breeding mode. Glad i keep them in a community ca tank though cause argentra just don't mantain the pair bonds after they are done breeding.
Wow! All stunning fish, the first one looked more like a marine fish like some sort of sea bream!
Like 99. Agree, it is a show stopper. The finnage and comportment only enhance it's beauty. Thanks.
I agree!
Great looking fish
All of those fish are stunning! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I have a pair.I have had them in the past and they are gorgeous fish.In person they are even prettier!Great video.
They sure are!
Oh, I totally stumbled upon these a month ago! It's on my list to add to the tank once I've upgraded!! It's indeed an amazingly beautiful fish!
They are totally worth it! :-)
Oh, definitely! If only you could see the picture I took of it... just.. wow! I just wish I took a picture of the tank as a whole. It was massive and contained like 15 of them!!! 😨
My favourite cichlids is definitely the Nicaraguan cichlid, stunning fish, friendly, smart and loves to rip out the plants!
I just bought one of these fish in replacement of the pike I mentioned in a different comment. Seeing this, I’m excited about my decision 😁

That is so cool!
Very difficult to pick a favourite, they’re all stunning 🤓
I agree!
One of my all-time favorites is the red shoulder severum
WOW!!!! That people’s choice is incredible!!! 👍
Maria Z I thought so too. 😀
I just ordered two argenteus from Cichlids of the Americas. I absolutely can not wait!
They are going to be cool!
Wow what a stunner........... just gorgeous
Can't argue that. : -)
That was a legendary bowl show!!
I thought so too!
I keep coming back to this video to stare at the stunning Maskaheros.
I have two right now, but not quite this size yet.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics I'm jealous but also excited you got some! Are you going to do a video on them?
Last guy is the most striking but if I had to take one home I’d go the Flametail as it’s compatible with my guys! I have a flametail juvenile from a great source so hopefully mine grows up all pretty!
Well shot very professional and enjoyable vid
Thank you so much!
Wow that's a beautiful fish!
Awesome video ty
Beautiful vieja argentea! I would like to get myself some pretty soon. I have vieja synspilum, and I would like to get several different species of vieja and other central and south american cichlids.
I don't think I have ever seen a vieja I don't like. : -)
Prime Time Aquatics I completely agreee, they’re some amazing fish!
I can just imagine how shiny it would be! I had not seen one either.
SO awesome!
That fish is awesome the blue fins and body are spectacular
I have a hybrid of two hybrids that I would love to breed and make more of but I only have one... the flowerhorn parrot cichlid. such an amazing looking fish. just picked him up a few days ago and is fantastic looking. he's really small right now but I have seen some videos of them fully grown and I am very excited.
Aulonacara Lwanda is my all time favourite 😍
Beautiful fish!!
I frequently think if my fish as turly living jewels, you got it, bro!
Woow, you are right, its amazing. 😍😍😍😍❤️🔥
Frontosas! Looking for a new home with room for at least a 240g. Been obsessed with em since I first seen one.
They are gentle giants!
I would like information to be able to own agentea?
what lighting are they using on those tanks?
It varies from tank to tank.
How many gallons do you need for the last show piece fish???
BurnzAd6 around 125 and up
Jeremy I’m telling you I have some show stopper fish and wish I could share but I’ve found keeping fish by themself in large tanks has been the best way to show them off I just wish we had more stuff accessible to us as far as the fish to choose from.

You would probably have to start a fish club in your area?
The 7 Zaire frontosa I have now. But in 5 years when they are grown.
Awesome fish...can see why people would flock to him.
He was like a movie star!
The overall winner is my fav. Though really all those fish are quite amazing.
Wow! I want these too!
Any Idea where I can get one of these?
Maybe Aquabid?
This is a first fish I've ever seen that rivals with a saltwater fish in terms of colors wow.🐠🐟🐡
These guys are crazy colorful for tank size and no substrate!
That's what I kept thinking too. They would look even better in their regular setup.
Excited to see some show fish this weekend should be a good time!
Beautiful
Gorgeous
Looks a little like a frontoza absolutely beautiful and he knew
Question I'm looking for the most awesomest freshwater fish book? do you have any suggestions.
It really depends on what the of fish you are in to? I've seen some cool cichlid books come through the clubs.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics so are you saying I should be getting individual books based on what kind of fish I have rather than just the type of water I'm dealing with
It just depends on what you like. There are generalist books and then the specialty books that deal with livebearers, African cichlids, cichlids from different lakes, different continents, etc.
One of each please!,👍✌️🤞😏
How do I get my hands on that purple and yellow peacock!?
Probably the Wet Spot online?
I have 2 Argentea in my 350. I love them!
That is too cool!
How do you get ahold of one? What kind of price point we talkin?
I found some at a local fish store. As soon as I seen them. They were around 15 usd. I grabbed 3. One didn't make it but the other are growing fast. I have them in a 350g with other viejas. You can check them out on my channel.
So beautiful
That Flame tail 🥰🥰
MrFirstSeed I know!
There's not one species of Vieja I don't like, that Argentea is a stunner though, I just wish I had the room to keep one!
Same with me - they are all awesome!
I've got an amazing looking Protomelas Ornatus. Wish I could enter it in a contest. He's not very big yeiand still an amazing fish. Those were pretty fish.
Are those big fishes all are freshwaters ?
They sure are!
WOW!
That's what I said. : -)
Christmas is coming 🤞🤞🤞
Now you're thinking!
Duuuude. I have 9 Paretroplus maculatus.
I've been trying to tell everyone that Madagascar cichlids are hidden gems.
I couldn't agree more! They are remarkable fish if you know how to handle their aggressive nature.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics I have mine with 6 Ptychochromis grandidieri. Perfect balance imo.
I have a vieja Argentina there beautiful
In 1991 I had bought 5 Haitiensis at $50 each fry, a single male made it , he was a BEAUTY alot like these
Those are amazing fish!
Been long ago, I just within the last year got back into the hobby, up to 10 tanks doing smaller fish now days
I have one of these beautiful..
Female red terror, yellow jacket cichlid (parachromis freddi), super red texas, zeus carpintis
What's the name of this fish?is this salt water fish?
Lucky viewer here
Beautiful but brutal fish. Ive had a few
That's what I have heard. : -)
I had that Comprecciceps! But I let him go because they need more care than most fish in a mixed African tank.
Can you do a video on starry night cichlids
I love them, but don't currently have them. Hopefully some day. : -)
👍
Aulonocara would be the one I would want
Auloncaras are common and can be purchased everywhere...but to get one that colors up like that is rare.
Marble ferestratus. Not sure of spelling
They should stick a picture of a female to each species to help them color up, do I know if it would work, I have no idea, lol.
Brandon McKinney that’s hilarious!
I had 4 big the one I have killed all the other ones
Right now I have two in a 125 gallon and they mostly stay at opposite ends of the tank.
argantea
I think I had a better looking Ngara peacock
I bet that was a great-looking fish!
these dont look tasty at all
Beautiful

Prime Time Aquatics thanks for your honest opinion, never seen that fish before... probably not in my area...i will research tho...thanks again!
