This was a fantastic video, Paul! As fish keepers, we as fish keepers always have a wish list don't we... the problem is, when you tick one off, two more take its place! ;) Some awesome fish here-not anything we would ever keep personally, but as we always say, we totally appreciate them and live vicariously through you on the big fish front! It's so sad that, here in the UK, we're crammed into houses fit for hamsters compared to the USA-there's just not enough room for infinity aquariums!!!
So true about the ticking one off then another to the list lol, yes I always say to Jo can we go and live in america lol cheers as always and I cant wait for Wednesday
@@bigfishlad4847 Ill personally pick out the best of the best for you for Wednesday bud, I wont leave that to Mrs Aquadiction, as awesome as she is she will just put the net in the tank and think job done ;) Look forward to freeing up some space :)
Plenty of experience gained in those years Paul, wow that honourable mention is stunning, perhaps it’s the black and white stripes that I’m attracted too 😂
Some absolute stunners there Paul, I've been saving these videos so I can bindge watch all 3 parts.😅😎 Looking forward to this, as I know how you love your cichlids mate!👌
What an interesting list. Those Pike cichlids stood out to me there. They were stunning. I always find it fascinating listening to people talk about Cichlids of the Americas because Africans, or more specifically lake tanganiyka, have usually been my go-to Cichlids.
@bigfishlad4847 fishkeepings a funny old game. I bet it could have just as easily been the other way around. The thing that got me into tangs was I'd just shut down my reef tanks to get back into fresh and saw a PFK article on the freshwater reefs of lake tanganiyka. Malawi never appealed, but geos, discus did, and angels did. So it just goes to show.
Fantastic list out od the 5 + honorable, ive kept jack dempseys Red devil and midas buttikofferi. Also had a pike cichlid one of the smaller types, cant remember the name. Excellent first installment to this super series.⭐️100 ⭐️thank you Paul❤️
I’m not going to comment on your pics until I see them all , but I will say I thought the Red Devil would of been higher up lol (couldn’t resist) great vid as usual pal 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Hi Paul your choices are right on the money I also had a breeding pair of Jack Dempsey's that I let go and I regret it to this day they were absolutely beautiful
Nice job on the video. I certainly would’ve had the Pike at number ONE. The True Parrot definitely in top five or even top three. So you better have some skull crushers ahead 🤕 lol 😂. I’ll be watching 🧐 hahaha 😜 bigups for a blazing video.
exciting, loving the countdown some, good choices so far mate
Cheers pal appreciate it hope your good

Haha Mal yes those black and whites stripes hey in fairness always liked Newcastle to be fair
There is so many interesting cichlids.. nice that you can narrow it down .I think I will be adding a few more. . cool water ones... In around 22c
I only keep the ones that cost me a fortune in leccy lol, I am enjoying the Balzini at the moment Chris they like a lower temp
Wow those are some awesome cichlids Paul can’t wait to see the next parts 😁👍
Thanks mate it wasnt easy to decide on lol
Your honorable mention is absolutely amazing!!!!
Tilapia butitikofreri ove krpt them and as aggressive as they are stunning.. worth it!
They are an incredible fish Chris very aggressive though
