I just got my first 10 gallon tank and I put some tetras in there. Ever since I got it I've been looking for reliable beginner information. I absolutely love this channel!
@@KaveManAquatics You’re welcome. I love watching them swimming, looking happy and relaxed. I also love Gordo (is that the correct spelling of his name?)
I picked up a Fusco at my LFS a couple weeks ago and he is really cool. Already getting a lot of color for being 3-3.5" and definitely the dominant male in my tank.
Diggin the video my brotha very informative. Going to start the food additives tomorrow. I got a 100g Tropheus tank and thanks to you I checked out beantown aquatics and found I some hard to find Ilangi. Good looking out keep up the work. I got you on top of my list for fish keeper videos 🤙
Aw man I'm late but screw it when you upload it's all I can think about 😉 I hope I get to be as good a fish keeper as you are I'm in love with your cichlids and even tho I'm 8 months away from getting them I'm still doing research!
Hey Kev, love the videos! Just a quick question. I recently got three new peacocks. I put them in today and my dragon blood and OB have been terrorizing them ever since causing them to be crammed in the corner. What should I do? All of them are the same size and one of three new peacocks I got is also a OB.
You need to add more fish to the tank in total or add more fish at the same time. African Cichlids can be very aggressive especially to new fish. I suggest you check out my free webinar training that could be helpful for you - event.webinarjam.com/channel/KaveMan-Aquatics
Hey Kev, my 110 African Cichlid tank has never looked better. I just started using ChemiPure Blue, that stuff is amazing! Wish I could send you a video of my tank.
Hey man i love you’re videos really taught me a whole lot got my tank cycling for about 6 weeks now and my nitrite is at 0.25 how much longer do you personally think it’s gonna take just off an estimate tank is a 20 gallon long!
Has anyone ever tried using a deep sandbed with cichlids? I'm considering putting down 3 inches of pool filter sand, cover that with a screen, then add 1 inch of cichlid substrate from aragalive. The screen should prevent the fish from disrupting the sand but wanted to ask around.
Yo Kev.. love the content my man! Quick question, can you get massive man sizes on the hoodies? I usually get a couple sizes bigger to accommodate for the shrink. If you do or can please let me know. Thanks brotha, and keep the vids comin G!
I have done it both ways. Now I run it 24/7 because of how many fish and tanks I have. But its also not necessary if you keep a seeded sponge filter available, you can set it up and add fish same day 😊 - this video should be helpful - th-cam.com/video/mflM1rDSpcE/w-d-xo.html
Whatever way you take fish out of the bag is stressful. Who ever says tipping them into a net is less stressful are not using their brain. Don't let others change the way you do you👍
If you got the time to answer, have you ever experienced a fish acting loopy/disoriented after receiving them in the mail? I've got mine in quarantine, shipping got delayed and took 5 days! 😱
Absolutely! Probably oxygen deprived and ammonia poisoned for that many days. Keep the quarantine extra clean with fresh water and heavily oxygenated. You should also add some Stress Guard. They can recover from near death, I've had a few that arrived like that and today they are Studs!! 😊

@@KaveManAquatics Done!
That padding looks like fiberglass 😅😅😅
I think thats exactly what it was lol
Kave How is your Silver Arowana
He’s doing great! Dropping a “short” this upcoming week on him and the rest of the American Tank
Nice
Thanks
Hey man i love you’re videos really taught me a whole lot got my tank cycling for about 6 weeks now and my nitrite is at 0.25 how much longer do you personally think it’s gonna take just off an estimate tank is a 20 gallon long!
Start adding some stability daily if your tank is still cycled. It'll help get rid of that nitrite
I would like a bigger tank, but not sure where to buy - any suggestions?
Last I checked there was a glass shortage in the US, not sure if thats still goin on but you could try petswarehouse.com
I always wondered... will the marker that was is d on the bags, contaminate the fish?
great question...I dont think so though...because many breeders do that
Hey Kev my lemon Jake have a cloudy white eye. How do I tread his eye?
Try some Melafix but the best medication is clean healthy water

No hate juss curious y was the water in the bag blue
Breeders add stress guard to keep the fish calm during transit...stress guard is blue
@@KaveManAquatics Oh ok so when u take fish on long trips u add stressguard
That would definitely help
@@KaveManAquatics Thank for the knowledge also i love your fishes and channel and u do great stuff 😀
Everyone likes Let’s GO!
That was a Maylandi Sulfurhead 😊
Thank you for the correction! I had no idea what I was getting 🤣
Can I use a brand new tank as the quarantine tank? Meaning no fish have been in it
Yes sir that’s fine 👍
Yo Kev.. love the content my man! Quick question, can you get massive man sizes on the hoodies? I usually get a couple sizes bigger to accommodate for the shrink. If you do or can please let me know. Thanks brotha, and keep the vids comin G!
Unfortunately I'm at the mercy of teespring and whatever sizes they can accommodate. Sometimes they go up to 3X but those sell out quick
Are you ever going to get a mbuna tank?
Very possible! But I have to upgrade my space first lol
Why was the water blue in the bags?
Stress guard is blue. Many shippers use that to keep the fish calm during transit
Why the water inside the plastic bags is so blue?
Most likely stress guard
what if you do not have a quarantine tank?
You should get one...you run the risk of infecting your whole tank with diseases if you dont quarantine new fish
Ok
How big is your tank
which one? Africans are 210, Americans are 150
Is the quarantine tank running 24/7? Or you start the process knowing you’re going to get fish?
I have done it both ways. Now I run it 24/7 because of how many fish and tanks I have. But its also not necessary if you keep a seeded sponge filter available, you can set it up and add fish same day 😊 - this video should be helpful - th-cam.com/video/mflM1rDSpcE/w-d-xo.html
Whatever way you take fish out of the bag is stressful. Who ever says tipping them into a net is less stressful are not using their brain.
Don't let others change the way you do you👍
Maybe the black bag is to stop them seeing eachother in the box and getting stressed out?
Lol never mind, just saw the answer in the rest of the video lol
That was a good thought though, lol makes sense 😊
Help!
1 have a new fish he don't want to eat 😕 why?
New fish need time to adjust to their new environment. Also a reason why you should quarantine them until theyre eating on their own
I do 50 % water changes every week and still end up with high nitrate and nitrite. What do I do?
New tank?
1 month
I have 20 peacocks in a trigon 350, I have 2 filters and a wavemaker too
@@jimmothershead7425 I use an api masterkit and it comes up with 5 ppm the colour is dark purple
@@jimmothershead7425 my apologies I said nitrates. My nitrite is 5ppm and my nitrates are about 80ppm after a 50% water change
Are these haps?
Yes
that's a Alunocara Maylandi not maglandi
Yes, I've been corrected since uploading. I had no idea what I was going and was just misreading the bag.
If you got the time to answer, have you ever experienced a fish acting loopy/disoriented after receiving them in the mail? I've got mine in quarantine, shipping got delayed and took 5 days! 😱

@@KaveManAquatics Love that you take the time to reply! Thanks for all the help you provided me already since subbing 🙌
Its a maylandi not a maglandi 🙏
Thanks for the correction! 😁 I had no idea what I was getting
No thnx we all learning everyday again!
