Everything you said in the video was so true. I left 7 tanks of African cichlids for 9 days with no one coming to feed or check on them while I was at beach and they did great didn't lose 1 fish. Sometimes just have to realize if you have things done right your 🐟will be fine.
Can the frontosa maintain and thrive in nitrates between 20-40 or do I need to bring it down 10-20 for optimal growth and health..great informational videos
@@RickyKenerlyCichlids hey ricky sorry for loss man. I really am I lost my mom 5 yrs ago. But you have to continue to do what makes you happy because that’s what they would want for us. And honestly you are good at making videos and talking about frontosas, so if your going to do shrimp videos do it with the same passion you did the frontosas. God bless man !!
Miss ya buddy, i think about you almost every time i look at my frontosas. Hope everything in your life is going great and that you're loss has subsided from losing your Dad. I lost mine just last March. I know it's tough dude, I'm constantly wishing i could just talk with him on the phone again.😢 🙏😃
Starting up my freshwater shrimp again! I might do some videos later on! Things changed over the last few years to have my heart back in cichlids. I still have them I’m just not into them like I was at one time!
@@RickyKenerlyCichlids Is your channel still active? Are you still keeping mbuna? I moved to the Knoxville area a few years ago. It would be nice to know someone in the area who like mbuna. When we lived in Phoenix, AZ they were by far the most popular freshwater fish. I have a 225 I'm getting ready to set up for mbuna. If my wife lets me, I might upgrade to a Planet Aquariums Mega Matrix 310. Thanks in advance.
what do you gave fir filtration on tht bad boy.. i have a 75 with peacocks' i have 2 bullies tht leave all the other fish in a corner i only have 11 maybe i should add more and see what happens
Hello, Does anyone know Ricky or how I can communicate with him? I'm also in East Tennessee and it would be nice to connect with other mbuna keepers here. Thanks!
I had a frontosa for 35 years and the last 5 years I fed him one boiled egg every day and with a net scooped up the waste I only lost him to hurricane Sandy but the high protein made him live a long life I also fed him pieces of Sea Bass and Striper and he loved it Water Changes were 1 a week but he was 16 inches long and had a 3 inch jaw me and my wife named him Black BeautyAmazing
I always enjoyed watching your videos. Not sure why you stopped making them? Hope everything is well with you. Good luck!
Ricky !!! Where have you been??? Make a new video!!!
Glad to see you back !
Peer pressure works wonders!
Ricky you’re awesome! Thanks for your great videos. I appreciate you!!

Nice to hear from you! How about feeding every other day Rick..
Well well well, good to see you again !!! 👍🏼
Great video. 1 question what if there juveniles how many times.
My fish stopped eating like they use to eat? Not sure why??
Great video .👍how many gallons and how many peacocks do you have on this tank .looks pretly nice
It is a 75 gallon aquarium! There probably is at least 75 or so in it. Never actually counted from a picture though!
Hey Rickey are you ever gonna start making videos again, your channel was so so informative, please say your coming back!
@@keitakennedy5102I’ve seen Ricky comment that he only makes videos when he feels inspired… Can’t blame him on that one!

40 is a little high just keep it under 30 by the time you change your water and you be completely fine
I travel for work and I don't feed my fish for 2 to 3 days on a regular basis, never have problems. This concept actually works
I agree this can work. Not so much with juveniles but congrats to you.
Need an update on how the icebreakers are doing :)
Where’s Ricky???
MAN! I said the same thing!
After my Dad died I haven’t been pulled to do TH-cam like I did before. If I make any new ones they will be on freshwater shrimp!
Sorry to hear about your loss. I've entertained the idea of getting into shrimp, if you do start, I'm watching.

Can I breed 2 wild moba frontosa in a 55g breeder? Nice info and good to see u back
Good talk!
Thank You!
Great video. Would you feed a community tanks if mollies platys and cory’s the same schedule.
I haven’t had those fish in a long time so I don’t want to give an opinion. Watch their bellies and that will help in your feeding decisions!
👋, do you selling any of your ice breaker line ?
What happend to this guys videos?
Must have missed this one when it originally dropped. Tammy miss your videos brother. I haven't don't much recently either.

Do you sell some of those and ship internationally? Im inlove with saulosi
Hi what gallon tank do you have behind you. My mbuna cichlids are the same.
It is a 75 gallon aquarium!
@@RickyKenerlyCichlids thank you I'm new to keeping these fish so all info greatly appreciated.
Do you have a sump for this tank? Surely with a tank this crowded you got a sump underneath?
I do not have a sump for this aquarium!
Sumps aren’t necessary, just keep up on WCs
what do you gave fir filtration on tht bad boy.. i have a 75 with peacocks' i have 2 bullies tht leave all the other fish in a corner i only have 11 maybe i should add more and see what happens
I presently use a matten filter!

I find it best to feed 3 small feedings a day, all the food is gone before it hits the bottom. Everyone does it different.
I had a frontosa for 35 years and the last 5 years I fed him one boiled egg every day and with a net scooped up the waste I only lost him to hurricane Sandy but the high protein made him live a long life I also fed him pieces of Sea Bass and Striper and he loved it Water Changes were 1 a week but he was 16 inches long and had a 3 inch jaw me and my wife named him Black BeautyAmazing
Ricky where are you man 😢😢??
I had to go to a rehab because I was feeding to much! I’m better now… hahaha
There are many who probably thinks they should as well!
🐟👍
You should start eating only when you feed your fish......
Looks like the fish aren't the only overfed critters in the house
