I used to have ciclids years ago. I slowly switched to planted tanks. If it don't get along with plants I don't have it. But Instill love seeing all fish vids. Great Job on video. Liked, subscribed, and enjoyed.

[@redsev4484]

Part of the challenge to make it work together! In addition to fish tearing them up deal with low pH soft water and 80+ temperature, yet I have lots of plants! I do agree that an Amazon biotope would not feel right for me without real Amazon only life plants.

Thank you! You too!

[@hsmom45]

can you show a water change with sand cleaning on the 180, thxs

[@josuenunoarandas1758]

I can’t find the elite cichlids website. I was trying to find some plants like that with the bottom base for my 210 gallon.

[@CichlidBros]

Yeah unfortunately they closed their business. Haven’t found a great alternative yet

[@richardsarlitt2246]

What do you feed the cichlids and how often do you do a complete cleaning? What technique do you use for cleaning? Richard Sarlitt

[@CichlidBros]

Below is a link to what we feed all of our cichlids. We also do water changes at about 40-50% weekly, but varies a bit depending on the tank ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJO7k5qdqLyseK8

[@javierleo28]

It is a beautiful set up. What do you feed them?

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks! Usually a mix of different sized pellets, and frozen foods once a week

[@damit3439]

Very nice set-up. Consider a 2nd canister for this 180.

[@CichlidBros]

DAMIT thanks! There is two. An FX6 and a Penn Plax

[@seascorpio3820]

Wow congrats! How big of a tank can I have living on the 3rd floor apartment.?

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks! It depends on a few things, but being up against a load bearing wall would be most important

[@noahhess3700]

Love the gymnogeophagus!

[@CichlidBros]

Noah Hess thank you! Very underrated cichlid in my opinion 👌🏻

[@theone5404]

Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. However, that fluval is not the greatest to filter such a large aquarium. I'd get big boy eheim. You'll be glad you did. None the less, have a piece of mind and enjoy that tank.

[@ShiftedOptics]

That thing is over kill lol The FX4 is still rated to 250. He got the FX6

[@videogazer801]

The Fluval FX6 is rated for 400 gallons, it’s more than enough

[@courtneymilton3771]

Off subject but : Is there an easier way to change the sand in your tank? I use dust pans and kinda scoop it out.

[@courtneymilton3771]

Can’t wait for next stream
