Sorry for your loss buddy! Appreciate how open and honest you are. Keep the great content coming

[@KaveManAquatics]

Thank you bro!

[@darthblunt3833]

Man Kev, I appreciate you sharing your story even through your loss you still bring information to all of us on so many levels, and the best part about you is you don't just give information that's out there you always physically prove it to show that once again your knowledge is beyond on point. Even through a hard loss to yourself this content taught way more than originally intended. I absolutely feel from the bottom of my heart you are the most caring and informative fish tuber around. We all are blessed to have you in our lives. Thanks doesn't even begin to repay your time and effort. Long live Flacco Dos my friend.... Sincerely, Phil

[@KaveManAquatics]

Thank you brother Darth! Your feedback always hits home. Im glad you saw how real I was trying to be. Doesn't matter how experienced you can be we all go through fish death and mistakes. I vow to learn from my mistakes and keep Flaco Dos as safe as I can! Glad you enjoyed the video bro! 😊

[@jonathanbeci5897]

Finally the update on the Americans!!! Big thanks for the update and specially on the honesty of loosing fish, I always kept an eye for flaco and didn’t see him so I was wondering if something happened or he was hiding. Not all the channels I follow talk about fish dying and its terrible that it happens, but it shows you are human!! people following the channel also can accept that these things happen even to the pro’s!!! Easy way would have been no update new arowana and just keep calling him flaco... Thanks for sharing and letting us enjoy your journey!

[@KaveManAquatics]

I really appreciate that! It was hard showing how I really felt on video but I did my best. Wanted to be honest with you guys but didnt want to tear up on camera, lol The day it happened I didnt take a pic or anything because making content was the last thing on my mind. But you're right I could have just replaced him and called it a day but I feel a good channel should show the ups and downs of the hobby because in reality we all go through them. Thanks for the feedback bro and I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊

[@alyssiawilson3396]

I got back into African cichlids after 5 years of having none. I'm so happy I found your channel and love how open and honest you are about the losses we all take. I enjoy all of your videos!

[@KaveManAquatics]

Welcome back! Glad you're enjoying the channel! 😊

[@cheesehead4670]

Kev, my 17 year old son and I are big in the hobby now because of you. He has an amazing cichlid tank that we have been successful at because of you! So, long story short, a couple weeks ago we added a brand new snowflake eel to our big saltwater tank, and we both decided together that we would name him Flaco in honor of you and Flaco. Even tho you would probably never know we did that it felt good to do, because you have no idea how much you’ve influenced and saved us headaches and heartaches by posting these videos! So here’s to you and your new Flaco Dos and our Flaco as well. ✌🏼🥰 *Edit* We name all our fish and even our invertebrates. If it’s alive it gets a name in our house. 😂😇

[@KaveManAquatics]

Thats awesome!! 😁😁 Congrats on your Flaco!

Well he's a big boy now 😂❤️ Don't feel awkward🤣🤣I named my fish after KZbinrs who I watch and learn from.😂 I haven't started my new cichlid journey yet.... but, there's a possibility of a Kev in the future 🤷🤣 Photobombing Oscars!! How can you not love them and the clown loaches 🤗 I love the red shoulder severums too!! Hello Flaco Dos!! Welcome to your new home little buddy!!

Sorry for your losses. It always sucks, but it's also just part of fish keeping. You have a great attitude about it. Also, I name all of my fish, but sometimes forget the names and then rename them, haha! FYI, I have a blue zebra Mbuna that is always guarding the biggest cave in the tank, so I named him KaveMan!

[@kcmaree9497]

You are amazing! My hubby and I have watched just about all your videos! We were in process of cycling a 75gallon tank for peacocks. 5 weeks in with seeded filter and it hadn't cycled! Followed what you did to add fish day one, waited a week and we now have 4 peacocks doing great! Tank still hasn't cycled BUT the fish are happy and healthy! Thank you for having such informative videos! Keep it up!

[@KaveManAquatics]

Awesome! Glad I could help! You are going to want to add more fish soon because those 4 will start to fight each other for dominance in the tank. Also if your tank still hasnt cycled make sure you've got plenty of surface agitation. Your beneficial bacteria need oxygen to grow as well to get your tank cycled. Check out my new webinar training with some great info for your peacocks! Its free! - event.webinarjam.com/channel/KaveMan-Aquatics

[@plushpossum]

I have a common Pleco named Percy. I bought him for my 30 gallon tank. He was 2". He grew a LOT. So I got a 55 gallon. A year later I got a 125....just for him! I don't know WHY I love this fish so much! He's a complete pain in the but, rearranges all my decor, but there's something about him!

[@KaveManAquatics]

That is awesome!

[@mimimelendez6594]

My albino socofoli got swim bladder and I separated him, increased the water temperature and put some aquarium salt into his tank(more than normally required). Through days of not feeding him and then only feeding him algae based food, he recovered. Took him about a month and a half but now he looks great. I’m so happy cuz he was one of our faves.

[@KaveManAquatics]

Thats awesome that you were able to save him! 😊💪 Usually swim bladder ends with bad results.

And I continue to learn so much from watching your content keep it up thank you it's guys like you thay help guys like me continue to thrive and continue this hobby. I'm so sorry about your loss, I just recently lost "that 1" ( 10yr old Tiger Oscar), I found alot have canine like personalities and become our friends as well, it's hard. Oh by the way, no need to feel funny about naming your fish, I got seven cichlids and 14 saltwater fish and everyone named even my snails and crabs 😊 thanks bro

Big respect to you keeping that many fish in a 150g without fights. And without sky high nitrate. I definitely wouldn’t be able to do it. But I think it may possibly need rehoming at some stage. Even the 6 clown loaches can grow to 12 inches.

[@KaveManAquatics]

Thats true, but it will take many years to get there. High Nitrates aren't anything to be scared of as long as you stay on top of your maintenance and water changes 😁

I love how responsive you are, other fish you tubers seem to be too busy to answer all the comments, but I have been needing some help. I’ve been in the hobby for 2 months now, I have a 6 gallon nano and I just got a 29 gallon aqueon. You mentioned adding fish day one. I am WAY too scared to do that! I’ve lost too many fish, I want to cycle but at the same time…I don’t have a clear picture of what a cycled tank even is or how to know if mine is there yet. It’s like, I know what to do, what it needs, what’s bad and what’s good…but how does it all work? Why can certain fish survive no treatments and others can’t? Why does any of the bacteria or cycling even matter, if you can throw a goldfish in a bowl and it’ll live? Why am I stressing myself out so much? Help!! Please!! I just want to be able to understand the entire process better.

Lol no worries, you’re in the right place! You may be overthinking things, which is common with beginners in the hobby. With all those questions my best suggestion is watch my playlist made for beginners and start from there. Specifically though, make sure to watch the nitrogen cycle video - kzbin.info/aero/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er

Remember to keep that lid closed, no matter what! Of course I name my fish and turtles. My turtles are Gumby, Pokey, Ron and Harry. I have two weather loaches, Squish and Squash, six blood parrots - mr and mrs smith, ying and yang, fred and ricky. I also have axolots, too.
