I yearn for that fish. Starry night and the Red-spotted Gold Sevrum are my most desired aggressive Cichlids. Thank You, Corey, for spotlighting this rare beauty; I knew I stayed subbed to your channel for a reason👍🏾.
Hello, great fish! Would he do well with a Jack Dempsey if I added them at the same time and made sure they were similar size? I am looking for fish I can put in a 55g with larger mouths. :) Thanks!
This was one of the first fishes i had, i live in Sweden, i was like 17 years old and he killed every single on of my fishes xD but god he was smart, i teached him to jump to et the food, he jumped out of the aquarium and sat on the glas and then in the water again, never had a fish done that ever again
Nice addition man, I've had a pair of 6 inchers for a while now. The male is laid back and easy going but the female is a beast and swims all around face down dive bombing anything in her path lol. Even the 8" predator haps steer clear of her.
I got one too from James. I live about 10 minutes away from the Cichlid Shack.. I want another but not sure if they are compatible with each other. I heard theyre not
Ive had them together with no problems. They are like male african cichlids, they may battle for the top spot but after that they are peaceful together
YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH THESE GUYS. I HAVE TWO IN A 65 GALLON NOW. ONE IS ALOT BIGGER. THEY GET ALONG. A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD ABOUT A DOZEN MIXED IN WITH AFRICAN CHICLIDS. THEY WERE FINE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. ONE DAY I WOKE UP TO A MASS FISH MURDER. THE DOMINANT MALE KILLED ALL THE OTHERS. NEVER SAW IT COMING!
I have had this fish and I love them. I am starting up a 500 gallon and would love to add them to the tank. As a Malawi "purist" I am having trouble though mixing a Madagascar cichlid with Lake Malawi cichlids. Can you talk me into it?
@@CoreyHecker that's good to hear. Maybe mine is just aggressive. But never had a fish so mean before. Really beautiful fish tho. Do you still have yours ?
He’s not from rivers like mbuna. He’s from lake. Better w S/A IMO
Wondering how to spawn them
I’ve loved mine !! Just as gorgeous as this one. Love the size you got there mines still got a long way to go.
My new favorite fish! Just picked up 2 small ones luckily today
got mine 2 days ago. Yet to see it eat anything. Definitely the boss in the tank. It even chase away my very territorial adult Frontosa.
Andrew Lucfr May take a few days, but it will definitely eat

wyzemann Thank you! Once you get one you won't be disappointed. Incredibly beautiful fish.
Wont the frontosa get bigger? Will that cause any problems in the future?

Negative I just tryed my jack Dempsey didn't let the starry night make it.☹️

New Orleans Tank Life nice and health good looking fish 🔥💯👍💪🐟🐠🐡🐠🐟🐡🐠

Pannkakaize they are amazing for sure!
Really is an Awesome fish.... Thanks for doing this video.... Love educational video's...
The Cichlid Shack Thank you James, hope it helps sell some. These beautiful fish should be in more tanks.

Kerry Coleman Lol, yea they can now than hold their own. Thanks for watching

I'd love to put him in with a few of my mbuna, ha. Especially this time of year- some of those little punks get a little jerky...
Eric K lol, I'm not sure he's a qualified bouncer.
Awesome fish...one day I want a Madgascar cichlid tank
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS Thanks Darius, that would be sweet!

you think its because you have two in the same tank cause it to happen?
they are so cool man. Gina always wanted to give them a go. are they also called black diamonds?✌️👍
Thanks, Its a great fish to have. I'm not sure about the name, but i can see why they would be called that.
Your right I have 3
beautiful fish, from here looks like 9 - 9 1/2" fish not 7-8"
Efrain's Cichlids Thank you Efrain. He is great fish to have
I just ordered one of these guys from James largo. Was wondering if you might be able to give me some tips of keeping him with my peacocks and haps?
Mine is in with haps currently, but they're very mellow. As long as your other fish can't fit in it's mouth you will be fine.
I ordered him at about 5" I've got two peacocks that are about 3" or so, do you think they will be good?
That's a beautiful dude. Until today I thought he was a SA. Thanks for schooling us on him.
Cichlid Soldier No problem, they are great addition to either a hap or South America tank.
sir can i mix polleni with frontosa and severum?
I wouldn't do it.
@@CoreyHecker which among the three fish i can put together? or no one?
The polleni and frontosa will be fine
@@CoreyHecker thank you alot sir for answering my question. more power ang god bless!
Anytime, thanks for watching!
beautiful fish. one of my favorites on TH-cam 👍
Thank you so much!
what level of the tank dose he hang out at .
Gabriel Martucci he's currently in a Madagascar tank. He's usually at the bottom to mid
cool thanks
Amazing Fish . Looks Beautiful .
African cichlids Thank you!
Anybody in contact to export to India......!!!!
Not that I'm aware of
Nice monster for sure it's very scary
Deon 0026 Thank you bro!
I kept mine with mbunas... they are fun nipping him occasionally, he seems little stressed. Can you suggest how to make him adapt.
Move the tank around let them reestablish territories to take off aggression from him
Great vid & Info, good looking fish!
Reggie's H&P Cichlids Thank you Reggie, I enjoyed your cameo in Largos pay the other day!
I have had this fish and I love them. I am starting up a 500 gallon and would love to add them to the tank. As a Malawi "purist" I am having trouble though mixing a Madagascar cichlid with Lake Malawi cichlids. Can you talk me into it?
HalfMan HalfCichlid Lol I get it, that's kinda why I did the vid. If there is one fish that can thrive in an African tank its this guy.
Thank you, I have to find a good source for them now.
Awesome fish! Love the huge mouth. Would this make a good solo wet pet. Do they have a decent personality? Thanks.
Very good personality, I think they would do better with other fish, but I've seen them in tanks by themselves. I highly recommend them.
How would it do with a pair of red devils
alex avila Never had red devils, but if they aggressive then I wouldn't. He's pretty laid back.
good looking fish. my lfs has 3. would it blend in too much with my black substrate and black background?
Thank you, no I think it would look great in any set up!
Nice Video.👍👍
Anthemz Gaming thank you!
Are they personable like Midas and Oscar cichlids?
They are more like African cichlids as far as personality.
@@CoreyHecker sorry I'm new to cichlids but does that mean they are as interactive and personable?
@@notanonymous7737 they are when you come to the tank. They think they are getting fed. You wouldn't pet them or have interactions like that however
@@CoreyHecker ok thanks!
Can he live with Oscars?
They are similar personalities. Oscars will get much larger however
yes
This fish is super aggressive. I made such a big mistake buying this fish.
Mine is so chill, I've never had aggression with either of the ones I have
@@CoreyHecker that's good to hear. Maybe mine is just aggressive. But never had a fish so mean before. Really beautiful fish tho. Do you still have yours ?
@@spidyduzit yes sir, he's in my 180 gallon Madagascar tank.
@@CoreyHecker Cool. I added mine to a Mixed Cichlid tank. He Destroyed 6 fish within a day. Keeping it alone in a 5ft tank now.
@@CoreyHecker How fast can these fish grow I just purchased one today about 2"
I've just purchased a baby paratilapia they're new to the UK do they grow fast
They grow faster than others Madagascar cichlids. Super cool fish to have. You will enjoy it!
He's very intelligent
Beautiful tank and fish.
Thank you!
What's the smallest tank.size that a single one could live in
I'd say 75 would be a good size
@@CoreyHecker dang what cichlids would you reccomend for a 20 gallon
@@joshberkler5957 a few mbuna, rams, electric blue acara, swords, mollies. Community fish would be your best route
th-cam.com/video/TPYs6iWHTME/w-d-xo.html watch Dan and tell him I sent you. Brilliant fish keeper. He'll get you started
@@CoreyHecker thanks!
