- Carpintis Green Texas Cichlid Care - Size & Aggression . These fish grow fast and I feed them the medium to large omega one brand food. Texas cichlids love this food.
About the aquarium carpintis green Texas Cichlid.
I used Panacur dog dewormer granules I got from the vet after Prazipro did nothing. I recommend you contact a vet. You use the granules to medicate food... Easiest way is lay out flake food in a plate. Mist with water until damp... Then sprinkle the dosage required for 3 doses on the food evenly. Let it dry till full dry and then divide into three equal doses. Feed each dose two days apart. Fast the fish for 2 days before feeding he medicated food. The day after each dose do a thorough gravel vaccuum. After three doses fast fish for two days and then feed blanched shelled peas for two days to help pass any worm corpses. Repeat treatment in two weeks.
These are actually called Camallanus worms.
Best of luck to you.... It killed 80% of the fish I had in a 90g, 25g, and 10g because I didn't realize not to use the same nets and gravel vacs in multiple tanks.
Wow. Thank you so much I'm going to try my best . I've had my paradise fish for at least 7 months. Got them from quatentiening them at work.... they got the redworms from a betta a rescued at petsmart that was in with them. I should always quarantine but it's taken over rather month for them to ever show up.
Darn calling the vet asap. I have 3 ottocats and 2 siamese algae eaters in there as well. I know the ottos will not eat the medicated food how on earth do I help them I'm stressin.
This is one of 2 keyholes I picked up almost a fortnight ago. Hes tiny, about an inch long. When the guy in the store caught him, he took a full 20 minutes chasing him around the tank before smooshing him with the frame of the net. The other keyhole he caught fine. The other keyhole is fine and eating behaving normally. They are both together in a 10g quarantine. This one has darkened considerably and hasn't eaten much since I got him. His fins are very clamped up too.
Tank parameters are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10ppm nitrates. Ph is 6.8. For the last 5 days I have been treating with maracyn 2 to try and prevent any internal infection due to injury and or stress. I am wondering if he has parasites and if so what would be the best course of action to take ? Some help please, as I don't want to loose this little guy, it's taken me 3 years to find him and his buddy.
Keyholes are funny fish, they stress out very easy. Give'em 24 hours in the dark. the pair I have, have spawned a couple times for me. And will clamp fins and lay down like yours.If you where closer, you could come get this pair. Been tring to give them away for a couple of months. Good luck.
That's to bad. I work at the lfs and I wouldn't have gave you the fish if I'd done that on accident. You should have said something at point of sale so you could be reimbursed if something like this happened. poor guy . That's a good preventative med action as of now . Does he have trouble getting around ? If he does i would suggest a smaller tank or a netted separate space to prevent further injury.
That does make it difficult. I'm going to guess you've tried the frozen already. Hopefully he wasn't damaged by the pet store employee. There are live food cultures available on line, like from aqua bid, ebay, and various Facebook groups. Things like daphnia, various worms, and fruit flies, can be cultured in small containers, like plastic shoe boxes. In case you ever wanted to try live foods.
Does the black light used for glofish tanks promote algae growth? Trying to figure out if my cousin's tank just has new tank syndrome or if the light may be contributing.
Palmer I kept one when I was a kid many moons ago.. I was 12 years old and my papa for my birthday bought me a 150 gallon tank. I saw this little runt fish at the lfs it had a blueish green tint even at 1.5 inches so I took him home , he was $7 back in 1983... I bonded with this fish as I noticed he would want interaction..he was sooooooooooo aggressive to everything except me I would hand feed him.. first few months he had a field day biting the shit out of me. Moving forward 3 or 4 years he was about 10 inches I’d say if my memory serves me right and he earned the name “Turk the jerk” because he was a gorgeously colorful turquoise color but an absolute brute , but I like fish like this!!!! I couldn’t keep things with him I tried what I could from oscars, Plecos, other fish they said might be able to fight back but as he got bigger it was futility!!! He lived until I was 21 years old and one morning when I awoke I noticed there was no splashing or gregarious behavior which was the norm...I tried to keep him upright but to no avail!!! He hurt me tremendously and I really loved this fish I know sounds corny but this FISH was almost human , it only needed to talk!!! Now almost 40 years later I still remember him and talk about him to friends!!! I hope I didn’t ramble to much buddy have a blessed one keep up the good work
@Fabian Albiar 👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼
AWESOME!!!!🐛😢
Thank you for sharing
@@brucewashington5564 yes sir👍🏼👍🏼
@Fabian Albiar yes he was amazing..ive had other texas cichlids and although aggressive and some of them beautiful not the same..a fish that comes to the edge of the tank to greet you..food or no food play with you. So when your young you bond with it very quickly...amazing fish..have a great one
They seem to be currently selling on eBay for extremely cheap. So idk ???
UGH! I knew you were going to compare em to the convicts, I’ll never keep any type of convict ever again. Ahhhh well my JD’s aren’t all that aggressive. I’ve got 2 of em along w a GT, 2 EBA’s, 2 orange blood parrots, a firemouth, & maybe a dozen smaller striped or albino polar parrots.
i have a 250g at work, full of Texas, they breed every couple of weeks. We have unlimited fry, but they eat them all.
Where do you live I'll buy some
Dude mines bedding all over the place 😂 i hate it bc I took my sweet time laying everything and the landscape what not. But at the same time I just love seeing him be well a fish you know making his beds and shit. Idk maybe I should find him a gf but then again idk if she would get along with my other fish all the fish I have have grown up together so they know their tank mates. Idk if shell be as cool as he is around my elephant nose or upside down catfish 😅
Can I keep a group of Green Texas only in one tank??????
Please can anyone here suggest me anything about it...!!!
I just got a small Texas in a tank with sum medium sized green terrors and my jewel chiclid is protecting my new fish and won’t leave his side I’ve never seen anything like it do u know why he might be doing this they just met lol. I just don’t even know what to think because my Jewel is mean to every other fish
Two pills I pop til my pupils swell up like two pennies, I'm Clint Eastwood in his mid twenties...
I assume it's just the dark room lol.
No idea if you’ll see this but I live in Jax Florida and i don’t see them a ton around here in April of 2023
One of my favorite cichlids. I kept four medium-small TC's in a 55-gallon. The two pairs split the tank and bred and reaised fry at each end of the tank without any effort by me simply because I had unknowingly provided the environment for them: a red and gray shale background with embedded logs whose hollows provided safe havens for breeding. Texas Cichlids are beautiful, fecund, and a joy to keep.
Wow where did you come from. Great Channel great tanks and fish. Subbed 👍
You didn’t really tell much on how to raise them I just got one and he’s not eating and hiding a lot
I had one in the early 90's, she cross bred with a male convict. The offspring were really cool looking.
Do they do good wit Vieja cichlids??
Wow. I pull these out of the Colorado river all the time. They actually react to a lure similar to a bass.
where at along the Colorado?
Nice! whereabouts roughly? I would've thought it's too cold but ...never know
@@thinkinsidetheboxsquarecir3303little bit late, but he's almost certainly referring to the Colorado River in Texas. Completely different river with the same name. They're not technically native there, with their natural range being in South Texas, but they've been introduced to central Texas and don't seem to be causing too much trouble.
Oh okay, that makes sense… And Thanks for the update!
Mine literally is harmless. He chills in the tank.
Red Texas= green Texas + parrot cichlid
Also mine is trying to tunnel out of the stalag!
Do you ship out your Green Texas Juveniles Palmer?
Man, I loved mine before he was murdered by my Mayan Cichlid😤.
very aggressive fish
what is that white and red one called??
How can you tell male from female
I didnt even know about these fish a few days ago, I got a green texas yesterday
How can you tell if it’s a male or female on the Texas cichlid
Hi I just got a Sliver dollar are they hardly
I just got a red Texas flowerhorn mix and they're awesome
Hi Palmer, any chance you can make a video about Nicaraguan Cichlids?
I couldn't find any videos online, and these fish are really cool. Just got 3 recently at my lfs.
Cheers man!
I’ve been trying to find some for a while now 🤓
I've had nothing but problems out of my Texas cichlid aggressive
Chris I used to be a huge fan of yours but I am very disappointed with the information in this video I know this is an old video so maybe you've learned more about the Texas cichlid since this video came out but for starters the red Texas and the two common Texas cichlids are nowhere near the same in fact a red Texas is not even a natural occurring fish it is a hybrid and then you also failed to mention the difference between a green Texas and a regular Texas and the difference is they are both two different fish completely if you go by their respective names the green Texas is called the pearlscale cichlid(h.carpintis) and the true texas cichlid(h.cyanoguttatus) both two different fish one from Mexico one from Texas both referred to as Texas cichlids although the carpintis for some reason over the years has now been called the green Texas probably because they both hail from the same genus so either way Chris you need to do some more research on your Texas cichlids bro
Thanks for your wonderful information. I got recently four of them. Along with them I have kept Red Parrots, severums , tymphol barbs. Is it okay ? Please advise and suggestions I should do to take care.
I tried to keep several Texas Cichlids over the years and my other cichlids always killed them,then pet store told me try a Green Texas so took him home put him in grow out tank for a month then put him my main tank first thing he did was pair up with convict 2 weeks later have about 300 Texas Convicts got whole tank whacked up moved Convict and babies out Then he tried to pair up with Firemouth female in tank had to move him out to his own tank , he is nasty aggressive even jumped out of tank twice
I have a green Texas cichlid that was originally in a 55 gallon but he attacked my Oscar and killed him. I took him out of my community tank and now he’s just hanging out in a 20gallon until I get a 125. I am concerned about what other fish to put him with in the big tank? Help? I know you said a red devil, any others?
In my experience they are less agressive than midas. A lot of people use them to breed reds. Thats probably why they are that popular. Red texas is red parrot/ mammon/ kkp x carpintis. But only a few turn red.
I've got a 60 gallon with 5 mbuna, 1kenyi (dominate) 3 yellow labs, and 1 red zebra. Thinking of getting a Texas as a "centerpiece" fish, thoughts?
What’s the maximum size????
Its 00000000000.1 gallons
Palmer, I was wondering if you could give me information on a fish very similar to the Texas Cichlid called "PEARLSCALE CICHLID" i just recently acquired 3 of them & love them! So very aggressive.. The research I've done is reading not to confuse these PEARLSCALE CICHLIDS with TEXAS CICHLIDS.. help me out bro.. Love the channel by the way, very informational
Hello! Is 60 gallon enought for just a pair Texas cichlid? 110x50x43cm tank.
I bought two new green texas cichlid. In a 120 litre growout tank for now. I believe one is male and one female due to dorsal fin. The male constantly beats the female even though i have plenty of hiding spots. Any tips to stop aggression?
Do u feed live I had just gotten one given to me with a 100 gallon tank I want to give it the best life possible
Will the African cichlid blend Carib-sea be harmful to my American cichlids? I like the look of it but I assume it's gonna up my ph. What's a good substrate for Central American big/medium cichlids?
Just saying thanks. I have been watching your videos since I started a predator with cichlids. It has gone well. Just about to move them to a 100 gallon tank
I have 2 blue Texas and the are awesome but super aggressive but worth it
Can I keep one with a Cuban cichlid with plants?
I just bought one for 4$ and he’s awesome
I got 2 green texas cichlid they doing good
love green texas like you
I just saw one at Petsmart for 10 bucks
How are you doing today and did you get your new tank setup yet will it be saltwater
I have a green Texas cichlid in a 46 gallon tank with a firemouth cichlid
Tank might be to small
love these fish
Red Texas cichlids are selling for $30 near me at petsmart
Charles Harris there trash f1
More video of fish dude...
I'm here in San Antonio and our pet stores have a lot of Texas cichlids all colors and they're like for $8 maybe it's just my location
Is it at papa jim's fish store maybe?
mic mar nah, i don’t live in america (only saying that cuz I don’t wanna reveal my location) and they’re also $8 at my fish shop. We tried selling them Texas fry there but they say they hate them cuz they’re so agressive. Thats kinda the reason they’re cheap.
Can you keep snails with the cichlids?
Probably, if they're big enough, like mystery snails. I've only had convicts, and I had a mystery snail with them. I'd be concerned about smaller snails being a tasty snack, but as I said, I only have experience with convict cichlids. The size of tank is important/influential, too.
Hey guys let's flip the cam....proceeds to not flip the cam.
Hi, I am new to the Hobby, I bought a Texan Female at 8cm and it is the centrepeice, or cheerleader of my 37-guests community tank and a gentle giant to all my young fish. I fed my Pleco to a Pelican on night they suck. Thanks great vids gday from Oz
Hi have u ever kept reed/rope fish what would u recommend feeding them all mine seem to eat is blood worm
