Nice video Richelle, good job. Aulonocara is my favorite species! I breed a species for aquarium, to avoid hybridization and preserve the species. Have a nice weekend....super like#114
I kept a Venustus Cichlid in a 20-25 gallon hexagon tank about 16 years ago. Your videos made me realize how awful that was. I can say that I loved that fish who was with me almost 4 years and likely passed due to an ammonia spike. Fast forward to now, I upgraded from a 46 bow front to a 72 bow front so I can have peacocks. After watching this video of course! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for the informative video! I'm getting ready to cycle a 55 gallon tank with a 150g capacity canister filter. If my calculations are correct, this should support 10-12 Aulonoara cichlids. Does that sound right to you?
Hi Richelle, As always, nice video. I have a question, I often hear that for male cichlids, you have to be careful not to mix cichilds with the same colour pattern. I mean some cichlids have so much colour it's kinda impossible to not have similar cichilds. Also, where i'm from, they only have about 10 different species (At least for the trustworthy stores). I was wondering, can I safely keep 3 male of each type of cichils? I'm thinking that having 3? I was thinking, if I have 2 of each species, then the dominant might target always the dominated but if I have 3, at least the aggression would be spread between the two dominated. Thank you for your help.
hey can u tell me i have one smal 2'' peacok he was showing color before i add him my main tank bt after some time he fade his color i dont know why and ha i have 4'' peackok and mbunas in same tank but they not attacking or bullying him , he living comfortably with them but he not showing color whats reason behind that,, the reason is biggest peackok male in tank or changing food,,, ha coz i feed them regular but again i will starting feed them hikari so plz tell me whats reason behind that and ha someyellow lab babys are there with him intank.. i dont think thats reason please tell me what should i do.....i hope u ll give me some amaizing tips........
hi, would you be able to do a video on ways to cut cost on keeping aquariums i have many threw out the house without compromising the fish health like maybe insulation? is there a cheap way to filter water or heat in the winter. it would be much appreciated and i know your the best :)
@@QuebecCichlides i did..but i was hoping for a more clear answer since you stated 55 and up...however my the dimensions of my tank has a volume of 50.5 US gallons and i already have about 6 peacocks in there, so i was hoping you would give me a more detailed opinion.
Basically what i would like to know, is if the extra 4.5 gallons that i do not have would make a difference if i plan on keeping just a small number of them, such as the 6 i have right now.
I have no females now but when I did I kept them 5 to 2 miles I did have breeder tanks for species I do have some female frontosa 4 of my frontosa are female I believe and 3 are males I might have to change this at a later date but it's very hard 2 sex young frontosa.
O2 is the limiting factor in how many fish you can keep not how much water your tank holds the bigger the foot print the more fish the length × width not so much hight
One question: Why is it that you guys in the states often only keep males? I get the part that males are one with the beautiful colors, but if you really want to see their true colors, add females. I mean, most of the “all males tanks” I see from you guys, have males with little to no colors, compared to when you add females to the mix.
Will the fish thank me, or tank me? 😛 Also, I would’ve thought a peaceful aquarium would be composed mainly of females and one or two males 😯 Guess my instinct is off !
Your fish will definitely Tank you ha ha. Your fish instincts will come back soon ;) It's complex. For some fish it's better more males, and for others it's better to have more females. Not many people make full female tanks because they're grey.
sorry but you don't have to do water changes everyweek I have 30 all male peacock and haps tank in a 125 gallon and they some big boys yes they poop alot I use a turkey baster and suck up the poop when it gets bad every few days and do 80 percent water changes about every 3 weeks and My fish are fine been doin it like this for years now I think the more u start doin water changes and take out the beneficial stuff from them they get stressed out so all my tanks is every few weeks and plus I have all house plant roots in my inside of my filters between the sponges I believe they help the fish and they strive on it 😀
Love Your Videos...Such a breath of Fresh Air.

Hi Isaac,
This is a brilliant video idea. Thank you for sharing.
I'll definitely make a piece on this in the future.
To the drawing board!!!
Pls can you mention not only gallons but also Liters 😊 thank you so much
Hey can a 50.5 US gallon work ? And if so..how much can i keep in there ?
Watch the video
@@QuebecCichlides i did..but i was hoping for a more clear answer since you stated 55 and up...however my the dimensions of my tank has a volume of 50.5 US gallons and i already have about 6 peacocks in there, so i was hoping you would give me a more detailed opinion.

If your tank is at least 4 feet long (or about 4 feet), you should be fine.
6 is fine but you could add more if you wanted.
Thank you so much ..it's 3 1/2 feet in length...20 inches high and 20 inches in width
justement j en ai un qui est extremement dominant , je le trouve meme tannant
love your eyes an your vidoes
I have no females now but when I did I kept them 5 to 2 miles I did have breeder tanks for species I do have some female frontosa 4 of my frontosa are female I believe and 3 are males I might have to change this at a later date but it's very hard 2 sex young frontosa.
I want to keep 8 different color males peacocks in a 110 gallon with 4 clown loach and two different Eels and a Ghost Knife.

Aulonocara are actually a member of the haplochromis family.
you are simpatic woman

Oddball aquatics is organizing a fishfam calender go talk to her man ,I believe it's 1950s
