Nice looking set up ! Having been breeding for a few years now I actually feel like African cichlids are pretty easy. The biggest problem I have is getting rid of them locally as I don't really prefer shipping. I have so many Tropheus and Petrochromis right now that I practically have to give them away. Good luck with your breeding facility. :)
Hello Adam! Help determine the population, my aquarium is 700 liters, and I want to put there 5 species of predators: Aristochromis, Buccochromis, Champsochromis, Dimidiochromis, Leopard venustus. I think to take 7 pieces of malcolm and when painted will leave some males ... how do you think it will go?
+Jadren Aquatics thank you jarden I appreciate it. it's nothing fancy just a fluval air pump with 2 lines from each pump. I think it's called a Q1 or Q2 model. I have a couple in this setup
do you think you can do a video on you quarantine tank and a detention tank for bad behavior? What kind of products you may be using in them? thanks for the knowledge!
jared martin hi jared. honestly it's not much to see. just a 20 gallon tank. I keep them in there for a week or 2 until I'm sure they are healthy and have normal looking waste. I don't really use any products unless it is for an injured fish in which case I use aquarium salt. if it's a bloat issue I use Epsom salt
Nice! It's nice that you have a show tank and breeding tanks. Would like some advice. I have a pair of Fossochromis Rostratus which I'm going to put in a 125 I just got. What haps would you recommend for a mellow tank that would play nice with the fosso's? I like buccochromis noto, buccochromis Rhodesi yellow but are afraid they might be to aggressive. Thanks.
+JW Collect really with any peacock or hap it can be a toss up. even rostratus can be aggressive. some that tend to be a little more calm are exochochromis anagenys, chilotilapia rhoadesii, Malawi trout aren't usually too aggressive.
+JW Collect hi JW. a 125 is probably the minimum I would keep large haps. the problem generally won't be your water quality. sounds like you have plenty of filtration, the challenge will be when they all start getting large they won't have a lot of room to get away from eachother if an aggression issue starts, so the aggression can last longer and be worse. I'm not saying it will happen but it could. for a 125 I would say 8 to 10 would be your best bet
Hey Adam, great video! I didn't know you had all that going on outside your 220. I really liked the Trout and the Buccos. Thanks for sharing

Great setup I'm curious what type of air pump are you using? New sub

If you do I want the trout
Nice! Are you going to ship the trouts?
+Phlex Cichlids hi phlex not quite yet but eventually
Will you ship them to Florida
Jojo C hi JoJo. I haven't started shipping as of yet. I eventually will I'm sure. thank you for watching
Hi, how many 12" haps would you recommend in a 125. I have two fx-6's and do water changes every week. Do you think 10 is ok? Thanks
+JW Collect hi JW. a 125 is probably the minimum I would keep large haps. the problem generally won't be your water quality. sounds like you have plenty of filtration, the challenge will be when they all start getting large they won't have a lot of room to get away from eachother if an aggression issue starts, so the aggression can last longer and be worse. I'm not saying it will happen but it could. for a 125 I would say 8 to 10 would be your best bet
Just let me know when
How do you keep your ph up in the fry tanks without substrate? And that male at the end is a rhoadesii not a noto?
+SuckaJombie I don't really try to keep it up. my water is naturally higher luckily l. yes at the end that is a group of buccochromis rhoadesii yellow
In that 125 what filter do you have for it
Philthy Phill hi Phil, I have a sun sun canister filter and 2 sponge filters rated for 125 gallons each
hey Adam, what do you feed your fry? and also what do you do with them?
I had the same question. What do you do with your fry? I myself am starting to get a lot of Mbundu fry and no idea what to do with them.
:-) Yes. but that's not an option for me.
hi Juan, don't listen to IFG. I feed northfin fry starter then northfin 1mm when they are big enough.
I sell quite a few locally and ship on occasion to a few buyers
Pavel Umanski hi pavel, I sell quite a few locally and ship on occasion to a few buyers
