I love your work Jason! I would suggest that Eureka Red’s are quite aggressive compared to other Peacocks - your sunshine’s, Mara Rocks etc. I have 2 males in a 90 and they are very aggressive to each other when someone wants to challenge the heirarchy. They’ll fight for hours. They’re probably not as aggressive as OB’s who have Zebra Red in their genetics - they’re more aggressive again than your ER’s. Thanks for the content - you’re a legend!
I just started to appreciate this fish species after it grew triple the size we bought from the pet shop. Love this beautiful fish. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
So helpful in many ways…if nothing else, you actually show a eureka red, and not an otter point which everyone else seems to confuse with it. See you at the next GCCA meeting!
Very nice video. I just got myself a nice colourful male with 6 females and will be putting them in a 65 gallon high tank due to the fact they like to swim midwater to the top. Thanks for the information.
Thats one beautiful fish jason the males colors are stunning is good to know they are less agressive i definitely going to reseach more on them so i can try having them some day .thank u for the awesome video n info .
I had recently ordered some Ruby Red Peacock Cichlids through the mail. They are currently juveniles, just like the fry that you are showing at 2:57. About how long before they become almost full size and the colors develop on the males? The juvenile are about the size of the fry in your tank in this video.
5 inches sound fair that's a awesome size for a fish. Very interesting that you mixed them with other tropical fish. Was is like tiger Barbs? Anyway thanks for sharing, watched your ad to so you make some change from me stopping in. Deon 0026 supports your channel Teacher
I had them in a 150 with other peacocks, haps, and larger, quicker non-cichlids for a while (silver dollars, tin foil barbs, bala sharks and even couple larger gouramis. It was interesting in that the cichlids left the non-cichlids alone in that set-up, but I certainly can't say that would happen again and I'm not sure I would try it again. Thanks for the support!
Yeaa mines with mbuna's as well as peacocks and one Hap and man he's the one that gets bullied on the most lol even though he's a juvenile without the blue in face at all I'm trying to think of other's to add to the tank now BC it's a 60 gallon tall tank and there's 7 total 1 Zebra Obli 1 Strawberry Peacock 1 Snow White 1 OB 1 Dolphin 1 Jalo Reef and then the 1 Eureka Red..... All juveniles like 2-3"s... Any suggestions since yours are doing well
Beautiful fish!!! Thanks for sharing 😊. I love the babies. Great footage! Do you know anything about the Badis Ruber? I got a pair today at my local Aquarium club. Thanks!
I don't know to much about them (never had them), but I believe they come from slow moving ponds and somewhat stagnant water. If I had them I would probably keep flow down in the tank and give them a cave to hang out in. They definitely are cool looking fish - nice pick up!
My eureka red has a gray body, but has light red in the front around his gills an top dorsal fin. Will his whole body get the red to? Oh do some not turn all red? He is pretty big to about 4".
I have one with mbuna's and Peacocks SAME size but not that blue in the front... Yet and he gets beat up and chased they MOST ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I have one hap the Zebra opli and idk what else to do to add to help and or take him out? There's 7 total him 1 Strawberry Peacock zebra opli dolphin mbuna Jalo Reef and a Snow White?

Isn't that something. Every time I put them in with another type of peacock they get beat up, but cichlids are funny that way. They have unique personalities.

Ya, I agree the males can be tough on one another.

See you there!
I got a f1 eureka red one of the meanest fish I’ve seen he can’t be with any other tank mates without killing them
Very nice video. I just got myself a nice colourful male with 6 females and will be putting them in a 65 gallon high tank due to the fact they like to swim midwater to the top. Thanks for the information.
That should be a very productive group!
So when I see these I see red fin borleyi but then when you look at the red fin borleyi I see eureka reds so which one is which.
Awesome looking fish man👌🏻 great channel
Thank you! Appreciate it
That Eureka Red Cichlid is amazing bro, I have to find me some of those. Great video!
Thank you!
I live at Indonesia , we have many fish like that...
Congrats on 1000 subs, beautiful fish. I need those. Thanks for the great videos
Thank you!
Prime Time Aquatics will you be shipping fish?
Thats one beautiful fish jason the males colors are stunning is good to know they are less agressive i definitely going to reseach more on them so i can try having them some day .thank u for the awesome video n info .
Thank you!
aren't these beautiful! one of my favorites
Thank you!
Eureka Red Cichlids look similar to German Red Peacock Cichlids!
wicked fish

About how long before they become almost full size and the colors develop on the males? The juvenile are about the size of the fry in your tank in this video.
The dominant male will usually start showing a little color at around the 2.5in size.
I have a bully in my cichlid. I did every thing to lower his Rt but no method works. Please make a video on how to lower cichlid aggression
Will add it to my list!

Interesting my Eureka res is very dominant even w some Mbunas.. although believe mine may be an otter point as he has more blue in his body and fins
That's why cichlids are so cool - they have such personalities! : -)

I bought 5 of these 4/5cm about 2/3 months ago , whole body is orange . Question, is that normal or not ?? don’t look like you’re reds
They should have some blue in the face

Prime Time Aquatics thank you! I have them on a good set up then👍😀
Beautiful Close what kind of food feed them
Mostly cichlid flakes, New LIfe Spectrum pellets and frozen brine shrimp once in a while.
I thought Eureka Reds has a blue blaze on their dorsal? Can anyone illuminate?
The only colors I've seen on the dorsal is white sometimes
My eureka red has a gray body, but has light red in the front around his gills an top dorsal fin. Will his whole body get the red to? Oh do some not turn all red? He is pretty big to about 4".
My eureka red has light blue dorsal fin
I have one and I was wondering if yup could tell me what gender, if you any place in could send photos to ?
You can either send them to Facebook or Instagram.
My ER is the the most aggressive in my tank, I've had to put two females in hospital tanks because of him :(
Go figure - cichlids can be so different. : -)

That can be tough. Sometimes the weaker fish just get bullied in cichlid tanks - especially when mbuna are present.

My German Red Peacock rules the 7 foot tank....
Isn't that something. Every time I put them in with another type of peacock they get beat up, but cichlids are funny that way. They have unique personalities.
讚nice
With all due respect, this isn't purebred Eureka Red. Looks more like a Eureka & Red Ruby cross
Every Eureka Red that comes through our club looks like these. Substrate can play a huge role in the appearance of peacocks.
Most aggressive fish, instead of this I will have flame gaurami
They are certainly best suited for a Cichlid community tank.
