Omg, you really scared me with this title. ;) What a beautiful birthday present! Mine is next week. What should I gift to myself?
Glad to see you happy about fish again, it has been a rough year to say the least.
So exciting to see these fish from the shipping box to 24 hours later. They're looking pretty happy with their new palace. Can't wait to see even more of them.
Once again Rachel, you've chosen a delightful selection of fish for your birthday. The rock hugger, shell dweller and sardine combination make a great, active and entertaining tank - not to mention the perfectly suited hardscape.
You know exactly how to stage the aquarium to get the most out of their behavior, Rachel! :D You're the ultimate Fish Mom! lol ;)
Alto are easily in my top favorite fish families. so calming, and very rewarding to watch a pair together
They do look grumpy! That’s adorable.
This is a very cool tank. I am going to enjoy seeing the fish mature and hopefully start breeding. Excellent dream tank, Rachel!
The tank looks great Rachel. Love the little fish, especially the shell dwellers. I hope they become more comfortable in their new surroundings.
It's going to be cool to watch them mature & change colors and behaviors.
I'm loving it! It's such a simple tank aesthetically but it gives the fish just what they need to show their natural habits. I can't wait to see this community progress! Easily my favorite so far of your personal/display builds
Awesome tank! That grumpy look is why I love betta's so much! They always look mad! Lol
I like the little pouty faces.
Thankyou for setting up this tank Rachel, I'm can now virtually enjoy fish that are not available in my country 🐟😍😍😍😍😍. Please spy on this tank often.
I'm glad to see you having a blast over your new beauties! After the recent negative incidents it seems as if you came back re-focused in a way, you kind of went back to the roots as if you have found or remembered something. It's a beautiful thing to see.
Your excitement is contagious!
It’s soooo cool to see you so excited about new fish even after all your time in the hobby
Love love love this tank and fish
They are doing GREAT! Kudos to you and the seller💝💝💝
This tank is so cute!!
I never was really interested in shell dwellers but this tank is awesome!
I’m so excited for the Sumbus. All of the grumpy African cichlids (Altos) are some of my favorite African cichlids. They’re so unique looking and make me feel less bad about being grumpy sometimes too
Your video photography is sublime and expressive all in one. It's like getting sucked into some alternate reality. Just watch.
So much enjoy your channel.
They look spectacular.
Beautifully done! All the fish will look awesome when they mature. Bravo 👏🏻
Spectacular.
They are so beautiful!
I love that scape! I considered the 'grumpy face' fish last year when I first met them at lfs. I love their shape and behaviors. Alas, I decided not to venture into Africans. So, I'm especially excited to watch this tank. Thanks Rachel!
Fantastic they look.great. can't wait to see there colors
Love your BD tank. They all look great. 👍👍
The only thing looking better than the fish is YOU!!! Wow, you look great!
Love the hardscape in the tank also.
I hope things are getting back to normal at home.
Nice tank, looking forward to seeing the colors! 🐠
I'm so happy youre doing regular videos again, thanks
Love the new tank and new fish! 😍 can't wait to see them matured❤
These are cool, can't wait to see them grow and color up. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻💯
Have bred a fair few cyprochromis over the years. Love watching them drop the eggs from the upper water column and watching the females catch them mid drift.
1 thing at that size they need lots of feeds they are extremely prone to wasting disease.
I love it when you spy on your fish.
What a wonderful tank and amazing fish. Look forward to following them as they mature!
Happy Birthday!
Love this tank! Thanks again for an awesome blog
Great selection of fish. Thanks again for the talk in peel region canada.
It's great to see you excited about Tanganyikans. I kept aquariums for 20 years and had to take a long break but when I came back I did Tanganyikans because it was one of the biotopes I've never done and always wanted to. It really got me excited to be back to fish keeping and is all I have for fish right now. Searching for ideas for my recently set up blackwater tank though. Much harder to plan out than the tang tanks so far.
Really love the look of this tank - happy birthday, whenever it is!
So awesome, love this biotope! The fish are so precious and so cute :)
Joey is doing a tank that his viewers are determining the stock and scape. He just said that he may have to order fish to stock the tank since his LFS obviously can't carry every type of fish. I think it would be cool if he ended up buying some of your fish since you two have collaborated before. I don't know about international sales for you, but if that's possible, maybe you can ask him to bring it up?
They are indeed stinking cute. Can not wait until they are settled in and growing.
We've been looking more and more into setting up a tanganyikan tank. Yours is looking great.
Please keep us posted on it's progress!!!
Se ve precioso todo. Desde el acuario hasta lis peces. Buen trabajo.
Gorgeous fish Rachel. I'm delighted for you
I like the big eyes
Awesome! So happy for you!! :)
rock climbing fish! I love it!
Lovin this project, Rachel! Keep up the awesome work ❤️
Love your tank Rachel .
Awesome new fish Rachel! Thank you so much for sharing 😀 👍
Im really excited about this tank. The rock work in this tank is just exceptional!
Thank you!
Hi , just like to say how much i enjoy your vids, and your obvious love/enthusiasm about you fish and their well-being.....
All the best
Chis
They are so adorable! I can't wait to see them grow and progress together 😍😍😍
Nice.
Very cute looking fish.
I absolutely love watching this tank Would love see a livestream of it all day hehe to calm my body. Wish I had room for a large tank! Keep up the awesome work!
The new shellies tank is beautiful. I wouldn't have done it myself without copying your idea.
I'm about to set up a Congo river tank... but watching that BEAUTY is making me reconsider my options. I never was an african lakes lover. But you made me set up and love a multifasciatus tank... and now I am impressed about how beautiful that kind of aquariums can be. May the Force be with you.
Nice!!
A have to say that's a great scape.
They certainly seem to love how you've set up the tank, well done! So very cute!
Can jjg
Oof that rock positioning... This is inspiring me. @_@
Grumpy fish is grumpy 😂
Both your hobby and you look amazing to me. I wondered how you take care of everything. I adore your work and you..
Carry on the good work. Love your tiny fishes. I too excited to see them grow. Keep posting the videos on these fishes...
I'm sure you can post 1 video a day till the end of the world..
Have a fishy day 😁😀😈
Travel the opposite direction by getting a small group of chocolate gourami next..
Rachel, how are Chris and your daughter? I think of them often. What a fantastic birthday idea.
They are doing much better. Hoping my husband can go back to work in 2 weeks, though he may need another surgery
I can wait till the Shell dwellers rearrange things a bit and algae starts growing new the rocks. And can’t wait to for November. See you in Winnipeg!!!
Looki ng forward to it!
Rachel I love your video, and I learned a lot from you. I really wish you invested in a better sound. Maybe a new microphone. I love you
best . Erik
I really enjoy your videos and you make me wanna get back into fish ..I was really into the zebra type African cichlids the blue and orange ones are my fav
I have been wanting to do a tank like this for quite sometime. Can you make an update video of this tank please if there isn’t one already and I missed it. Thank you 😊
Add some hard water plants like anubias or java fern (im pretty sure they r hatdwater)
How would you compare the comps to multies?
I'm considering a tang community in a 40 breeder I have available. Maybe shellies and brichardi or cyps...
25% wc should be very adequate Racheal. I am interested if you get breedings.
Are the Sumbus obligate shelldwellers like multis or brevis, or are they happy with any cave or space between rocks on the substrate?
All the Cyprichromis look similiar. Why did you choose C. leptosoma "mpimbwe" over other collecting locations?
What are the water parameters - 8pH and 300 tds? or even higher?
Gratuitous fish footage - Yay!!
I'm putting together shell dweller tank. How o you clean the shell areas? Thanks
Could you please just get 1 goldfish😁😁 I think you need a Black Moor in your life! They are so stinking cool I have 3... I would just love to hear you gush over a cute little hammerhead 🤣 I think it would be a perfect "Frank " for you ... without stealing " solid golds " thunder😁😁 I love your videos and the new cichlids are Gorgeous!!
I love the personality of Tanganyikan fish. I have a telmatochromis temporalis that I call moody ass because nobody is allowed anywhere near him
I had those before too. Neat fish but a bit snarkier
Yeah I've noticed that. I'm currently considering swapping them out in my community tank and replacing them with similis which seem a little more peaceful
Hey Rachel! Absolutely love this tank and would like to set up my 40 gallon breeder using this species. I have a question - are you using Rift Lake Cichlid Salts in this tank, and if not, would they benefit from using it? Keep up the great work! Happy Labor Day!!!!!
I am not. I haven't found the to be necessary if the tank maintains adequate hardness (I used cichlid substrate that buffers instead)
Thank you so much for your quick response! I guess I won't attempt to use it since my water is already very hard and I am having great success so far not using it in my 2 smaller "test" tanks with a pair of breeding Neolamprologus Brichardi with many babies in one tank and 3 Neolamprologus Longior (which I just love their golden/orange coloration) in my other. I also have a tank ready for 3 Neolamprologus Helianthus that will be arriving tomorrow that I purchased off Aguabid. I guess the old saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it" applies here! Thanks again!
Will you ever add plants with these fish? Thanks
Also would they survive in a Blackwater tank?
No to Blackwater (they need hard water). Maybe to plants
What is the best size for these fish
are the cyprochromis difficult to breed? do they take long to breed like fronts. wondering why tangs are so costly compared to Malawi fish
No, not particularly. I think they are more expensive simply because they are less popular therefore not worked with as much
How is the knee? My left is getting a full replacement with all new cadaver ligaments on the 26th. I am not looking forward too recovery.
It's getting there. The damage was really severe so its probably going to take a full year until it gets as good as it will get. Still doing pt 3x a week, and it's been 5 months
That sounds about right. They are telling me a Minimum 6 months before I can go back to work. 9 to 12 for recovery
Do any of them have common names for people to look for instead of trying to reamber the big long names
Mark Laber not entirely. You can call the Compressiceps: Sumbus because that’s what most of us say but other than that we just use scientific names.
no plants planned?
Not at this time
Do any of your fish have common names? I can not say the names you use, nor can I remember them.
No. Just the sardine cichlids.
First
