I love getting them small and dull. Can watch them grow, watch them color up, and hopefully keep them longer. Great video.
Yes sir
Awesome video braddah J.. Thanks for educating mah braddah!! Much love and aloha!!🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽
My man!
All the comments are from 1 year ago.... Holly crap I am late to party!! Just found this video and it made me hit subscribe. I had to watch it twice cause the first time I was busy staring at that amazing tank background. Nice video and great info.
GRich77 thanks so much
You have a mean ass malawi trout in there!!! I think that's what it is.
Thanks buddy!
So I have a 93 gallon tank (350 litres) and every chiclid is growing fine except one. In the last 6 months every other peacock have doubled in size but I have 1 which has refused to grow at all. That little peacock has been the exact same size for 6 months.
Right on jay couldn’t have said it better myself I am a proud guy that I was one of your subs of the week keep doing what you do bro
Good video...fish will grow regardless but they will definitely grow bigger faster in a larger tank...I have a 7 inch Frontosa in my 150g tank but he didn't really start growing in size until I moved my Africans from the 75 gallon..once they all got moved it was literally a matter of 3-4 months that I saw the Frontosa grow inches.
Good stuff Jay! I recently purchased some NorthFin Krill Pro for my betta to go with the NorthFin betta bits I already have. Can't have enough good/quality food to keep your fish happy and healthy and your aquariums clean!:)
Check the website come next Wednesday and search betta
Jay Wilson I hope that means what I think it does...😀
LOL Funyuns! Great info and vid as always!
I appreciate that very much
I wonder how much stress plays into growth. I’ve been keeping fish for a little over a year and have been buffering ph with no kh in the water. I’m really looking forward to see how my fish grow with a more stable kh/ph environment Good video dude
Good stuff keep us posted.
I have a 45 gallon that is 3ft long and 2ft high. I have 9 black skirt tetras, 1 juvenile firemouth cichlid, 1 green severum juvenile. I was just using this tank until I had room for a bigger tank. By doing so am I hurting their growth at this point, being that they are so young?
Great video jay👍🏻 lots of great points!
Thank you a lot.
Jay, I believe you, but I overstock and with with wild South American Cichlids. Geophagus, severums, Uaru's, discus, Satanoperca, loaches, corydoras and fancy pleco's. I overstock a lot, I heavily over filter I feed 4 times a day, I do 40% water changes twice a week and nothing more and my fish grow and color up nicely. It happens quicker than it did when I followed all the rules. In one tank, I keep south american, central American and African Cichlids with no problem, save one, I can't do the big water changes because of the calvis. However, I can do it, but others are like, you are so wrong and you shouldn't mix and crowd. Oh well.
I bought strawberry ciclids they are orange why
Because it’s a fake name
@@Jaywil07 did ifish store sell me a different fish or is there no such thing as strawberry ciclids
😂😂😂😂😂
Strawberry cichlids have a orange hue , dragon blood is more red
Good stuff. Hoping everything works out for the 4 individuals mentioned at the end.
I think it will if it was not for bad luck with some folks they wouldn’t have luck at all man.
Preach brother. That Dimidiochromis was looking sharp. Did that older Venustus get moved out?
hahahaha good eye I like that, video tomorrow will talk in brief where he went.
Lol very funny and good tips.!!!
Appreciate that my friend.
500 looking nice. Good info. Like the cheesy poof analogy.
Appreciate that buddy
So your fish won't color up!? not growing fast enough!? sound like you?let me know how YOU changed it and made it work! #cichlids #teamtang #fish
Great video J! You killed again funny man! Very informative!
Thanks buddy
"Being very upset!"... OMG I fell on the floor...
Trophys to compete.... You hit the chord.
Love you man!
For a fish grow faster the biggest tank they can have and feed at least twice a day and of course w / c, w / c and w / c.
Gotta put a pair of German rams in a 300 gallon, it’s going to be glorious 😆
Damn lol
Yes you are Absolutely right
Thank you sir!
Do people actually feed their fish funyuns? 😶
I have a 55 gal tank. PH and mineral levels match the bottle's suggestions. Mixed tank with tons of variety and definitely not over crowded. (Is it silly to say I can tell the fish are happy?) I have 1 black chiclid that is growing normal and drop dead gorgeous 😍 And 1 albino that hides, eats, and is slightly territorial but tiny! Hasn't grown at all. Why??? Literally still 1 inch and the black one is at least 2. Could it be age? I've had them 1 month now.
Great information, thank you
Anyone know where I can find a Supadachromis Flipperoberompis Neon??? I need to find my unicorn!
LAURIT311 yes I do matter of fact lake tittiekaka has the largest population but the tariffs on export are too high.
Hey @Jay Wilson great info. Its helped me. How big is your tank behind you and is that a 3d background insert?
220 my friend. Thank you
I hear you loud and clear brother! #haplife halla!
Awesome video Jay
Thank you glad you liked it.
Great advice!!!! All the way to the end!!!!!! LOL!!!!
Thank you for watching all the way
Great video
Hi.i have a 55gal with 4 orange peacocks n 2 yellow labs n 2 blue chaps n 1 red fin sharks n a placo..my 1 orange slowly starts to fade n now is almost white..I feed a variety of cichlid goods..is he dying?
We'll put my friend👍 ..just subbed
Stay fresh homie lol
Funny but true 😂
Hello Jay,
I was wondering if you could help my situation. I recently moved my peacock from a 30 gallon to a 10 gallon due to a nitrite spike. The first few days he was active and swimming around. Starting this week he has been lethargic and sitting at the bottom of the tank. He doesn't swim up for food anymore. His breathing is back to normal and that's about it. Any tips on what I should do?
Reduce stress and test the water. Don’t over react just react based upon your findings
Jay Wilson ammonia and nitrite are at 0 for my 10 gallon. Nitrate is around 10-20. Would you recommend using api stress coat?
I give my cichlids cheese doodles all the time, and there doing great.
Jay, you make a lot assertions that seem to make sense BUT you need to back them up with references (real data not antidoctal info) that support your assertions.
mark zick this is all based on what has worked for me and what I share with the people that may need help that haven’t tried these things. I’m not a certified and approved sanctioned fish expert. I am a hobbyist that is willing to share in formation that is founded through the trial and tribulations. If it works awesome if it doesn’t it won’t harm your fish ...... now if I was talking opening up fish or throwing a tube down there throat yes the science needs to be there for me to recite but this is information that i am giving can be founded on the internet to back what I am sayin up or it can be cited on various videos I have done in the past. Hopefully that makes sense.
🐐
Hey bro...I got a neolamprologustdomy shenattelladusy reef and wanted to know when its going to color up??
