I love your tanks so much. The 75 is amazing with allof those native fish. The bowfront...stunning! Marvin is adorable. I dont know if mine is male or female, but I refer to it as a him for some reason. Avocado puffers are so fun!
Nice video ! I'm about to get some Longears myself, so I wanted to see how you managed yours. I am surprised how many fish we have in common. I too have MTS, and one of my tanks has nothing but Tetras, shrimp, Cory's, and Kuhlies. I too had a pair of Angelicus loaches, but the male hounded the female to death. I then added him to a 75g tank with 7 Clown loaches, with the largest being a 7 inch female. My others ranged from 3 to 4 inches. Well at first all was perfect. He quickly took to hanging out with the Clowns, and showed zero aggressive behavior. After a few months, he started following the large female around, and then started engaging the largest Clown male who was slightly larger. This was in a 75g tank with lots of hiding spots, so I wasn't too concerned as it never rose to the level of bad behavior I witnessed when he was housed with the female Angelicus. I later went away for 3 nights and 2 days, and came home to find I was missing both the larger male Clown, and the Angelicus. I do have two cats, so I figured they must have jumped out, and the cats scooped them up. Saw no evidence of any remains in the tank, but eventually found the Angelicus under the tank stand all dried up. I have kept many species of loaches, Yoyo's, Dwarf Chain, Skunk, and Clowns. But that Angelicus male was the nastiest piece of work I've ever encountered from a loach. So I hope your Angelicus aren't as aggressive as mine was. I have a question regarding the Longear. Have you tried keeping them with a larger cat, like a Bullhead ? I have a local lake that is teeming with yellow Bullheads, and I was hoping to keep them with the Longears when I set that tank up. I was thinking the Yellows are tough enough, but don't get too large like other cats. And finally (I know), how large were the Plecos that were killed ?
Are those long ears also called pumpkin seeds?...We used to have them for sale in England many many years ago, there has been some released into canals in the south of the country that have survived but they're still not available to buy anymore!
The sexual dimorphism is pretty clear at this size for the ozarks. Beautiful fish. I have spawned the ones I got from Jonahs and the offspring are nearing this size.
The "ears" on all of them are large and really easy to spot. The "ears" on the females are way smaller, at about 5 times smaller they appear more like a dot.
Beautiful tanks! Love the long ears
Thanks! I'm jealous of all your tanks lol
Those long ears are so hearty and bullet proof, nice fish
I can tell your an aquaholic! Takes one to know one🙂👍🏻 great tour you have some very cool fish and tanks. Thanks for sharing looking forward to more!

Looking great QC ! Thanks for sharing sir 😊
Such cool tanks! And OMG, I love Marvin, and now want an avocado puffer also! ❤ And I'm super jelly of the Goodeid tank! What a neat community!
Marvin is a little diva.
Those longears are beautiful! Very cool fish!
The Longear tank is awesome!! I plan on starting a redbreast tank here soon
Are you catching them yourself?

Them longears are awesome!!
They're my water puppies, always following me around.
I thought the 75 was my favorite until I saw the Living Room tank. Nice!
Marvin has a knack of becoming everyone's favorite.
Beautiful fish. Love the Longears.

No, longears and pumpkinseeds are two different species. Check out Cold Water Aquatics' channel. He has multiple species of lepomis sunfish.
You're a great moderator!
Thanks! Tonight was busier than usual.
Well those tanks are amazing
Good looking tanks 👍
Never seen red colored sunfish like this, remind me of African Jewel Cichlids
from where did you acquire those Ozark sunfish, they look stunning
I got mine from jonahsaquarium.com. If they're out, Zimmermansfish.com might have some.
Nice tanks!
Nice video thanks qc!
0:51 Those aren't blackbanded sunfish in that tank?
Not at that mark. They are at 2:40 though.
@@qcaquaholic Interesting. Can't see them well, but they look really deep-bodied.
Last one beautiful cichlid tank... what is the name of the fish
Those aren't actually cichlids. They're Ozark longear sunfish, a US native fish.
Nice video Q c 💥💪🏾
Dig the shiner tank w/ nice crips, yo. 🍻

I've watched them rearrange the rocks and do their little spawning dance over them, but no eggs have come about.
👍👍👍
Haven't even watched the video and subscribed just because of your channel name😂
😆Thanks!
Güzel bir paylaşım olmuş dostum saygılar
I saw Marvin eat a Live Shrimp!.
I noticed that too. There are so many shrimp in that tank, he doesn't even make a dent in their population.

Just fell asleezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
All of them are males.
How can you tell? Serious question
The "ears" on all of them are large and really easy to spot. The "ears" on the females are way smaller, at about 5 times smaller they appear more like a dot.
