    Your tank is beautiful. The varieties of vieja cichlids are amazing. The jacks are always a great tank mate. The flowerhorn females can be a handful I've got one in a mixed cichlid tank it's 6X2X2 and it takes it for these fish. Amazing truly they are stunning colours

    • @NikhilJulka
      @NikhilJulka  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      size of the tank and territories restrictions matters.......if they get a chance to make territories..they will get aggressive....and feeding.....keep them well fed and satisfied :)

    • @Buttikoferiii
      @Buttikoferiii 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Benny Aviles it's a red tiger motaguense cichlid. Most likely female. It's a member of the parachromis family. Gets to 8-10 inches in females and 10-14 inches in males. Extremely aggressive best kept as a pair and minimum tank size for one is 100g.

    • @NikhilJulka
      @NikhilJulka  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      prasan tuladhar patience is the virtue in fish keeping and specially with central American cichlids.. they are low in sand due to there non coloured adolescence and once they grow big, they start getting the colours
      Community of fish also helps in colour enhancement along with the water quality and the feed quality you are giving to your fishes.
      Happy fishes gives vibrant colours.

    Hi I am a new fish keeper I have just purchased a 300 litre aquarium I have 2 small silver sharks maybe 2 inches 2 small firemouth chiclids and a clown loach baby what other chiclids could I keep in this tank with these fish any help is much appreciated

    • @NikhilJulka
      @NikhilJulka  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      hi, i would not recommend adding any more as the ones you have grow pretty big.... if you want to add then add another 1 or 2 clown loach. The more fish you have the more bio-load - which means more filtration and more frequent water changes.
      if you can upload a video on youtue and tag me in there i would love to have a look and then suggest?

      HI sarah..... Go for DIY LED or you will get led lights at any LFS ow a days.... the trick is to perfectly place the lights and "food" also plays a major role in the colours of the fish..along with happy community.... if the fish is stressed..they wont show there colours.. and if they are happy.. you have a colourful tank :)
