35,000+ Gallons of African Cichlids - Returning to Something Fishy

I recently returned to Something Fishy, a great fish store in Cleveland, Ohio with a huge african cichlid breeding operation in the basement. The owner, Dave Hale, walked me around and talked about all of his fish and what has changed since last year. If you like frontosa you don't want to miss it!

Note... I will try to answer questions when I can and best I can. Also I ship very limited due to busy time of the year and weather etc. I do not do a list because stock changes daily.l Somethingfishyinc.net Thanks Me Dave

[@JRP4H4L]

You have an impressive LFS and will have to check out your site.

[@jaketurbo]

Couldnt quite understand you. Really interested to know what the big silver fish at 22:57 is. I have two of them the same size and believe you called them something different to what I know them by. Thanks

[@somethingfishyinc.5313]

Jake Hussey . I think.you would know if you had this fish. The black Diamond rhom piranha and only one in a tank. These are also very expensive and not easy to get. Maybe you have the common pacu which most should not own due to they grow fast into a 3ft fish.

[@jaketurbo]

Its not a Pacu. I always thought it was a Silver Dollar but doesnt not look very much like other Silver Dollars ive had previously or dollars ive seen on the internet. Thanks for the information, I shall look into getting the species identified more.

[@truckersreef6369]

How can we order from you.

[@Frontosa4life]

Of course all the Frontosa have me drooling! Great video!

[@Ali-Muscle]

I go there all the time. Great fish store. Very Knowledgeable staff!

[@kushalshome8769]

Lots of frontosas all around...lovely...

[@JRP4H4L]

Wow, nice LFS fishroom tour with some awesome fish. Thanks for sharing.

[@DannysAquariums]

Is this going to be another popular video?! Keep up the good work Steve! I really enjoyed the last fishroom tour! Can't wait to watch this one!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Some very cool fish! Thanks for sharing.

[@somethingfishyinc.5313]

Hey Steve it was great to see you and another great video.

[@cherievans2352]

Gorgeous fish

[@MSteveYang]

This guy is cool as hell! I bought all his bi color frys. I'm sooo mad he only had 5. One of the best stores I've seen in a long time and def have the best selections I've ever seen

[@Somethingfishyinc]

MSteveYang thank you. I have more bicolors :)

[@thefishylife6823]

Dam that huge cichlid in the square 220 looks like a yellow amberjack!! Whoa! This place is Amazing, glad to see you making more videos, hopefully you get inspired to get back into African cichlids!!

[@davidsummersett2153]

Sorry to hear about Bertha Dave. I always loved messing with her with the dyson. Miss the shop bro..don’t miss the pennies

[@ericj1500]

Wow never seen so many frontosas in one place awsome

[@65FullMoon83]

Those spotted Frontosa are Black Widow Frontosas. It's an Aquarium Strain developed in the Czech Republic. Very cool fish & pretty hard to get. Another Aquarium Strain Frontosa are the Red Frontosa said to be developed in Taiwan. Its more of a Chocolate Copper Frontosa. The quality of Red Frontosas seems to be getting better & better as selective line breeding goes on. I believe the Black Widow & the Red Frontosa are the only Aquarium Strain Frontosas? Always enjoy the tours through Dave's store & hatchery. To any one who doesn't know Dave is a wealth of ciclid knowledge. *Black Widow Frontosa* kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ2oqnyZntaIarM *Red Frontosa* kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5-1ZnxpftymitE

[@seans7228]

What is the website to buy fish please?

[@reidsmith3002]

Fish at 8:10 is pretty cool. Never seen or heard of these

[@somethingfishyinc.5313]

Gnathochromis permalaxeris

[@nicknathu5981]

Is a 40g good enough for some mbuna, about 8 and some bottom feeders?

[@somethingfishyinc.5313]

Yes or more depending on type of mbuna. Look at saulosi. Great fish. Or many types of labidochromis species.

[@wandamariaaponte2538]

I received four cichlids from a friend. How can I send you a picture to help me identify them?

[@frankhite9849]

WOW!!!! you have some serious shit!!!!! your store and inventory are awsome!!! we dont have stuff like that out here outwest!!!

[@sulemanibnmoosa]

Wow

[@philthyphill8753]

How do you get there fins to grow that long? Or is it just genetics

[@somethingfishyinc.5313]

Philthy Phill . It depends. .some it's natural. Size tanks can help or if they are by themselves?

[@strangeperson5670]

What was that short frontose at 2:27😂😂

[@somethingfishyinc.5313]

strange person odd ball from the Zaire breeders

[@KGcichlids]

I think I died and gone to heaven!

[@joshuanowayjose3285]

KG cichlids a pictured tube heaven in an HD world....I'm just playing , love me some Scleropages Formosus .... hate CITES because it will take an act of Congress to be able to buy a BREED IN CAPTIVITY FROM A CITES APPROVED LEGAL FARM , or go to Mexico or British Columbia ,Canada ... .. I think I can blame Bush Sr or Ronnie RayGun for that 1 ....

[@marcinsiwek905]

wow, rare fish, nice to see. Very nice

[@powlouis]

Can anyone recommend a species of Pleco that can be kept in a 15 gallon with some community fish. I have seen some of fish stores but I'm not sure how big they will get. I would rather just get one or two but if I need to get a group I'll do that as long as they have enough space on my tank. I have plants and wood and rock for them to hide under I just don't want to get one that them grows to like 10 inches and is stuck in a tiny tank. If anyone could help that would be great.

[@somethingfishyinc.5313]

lousom get a bushynose. One or two ok. Hardy and do good job

[@powlouis]

Something Fishy Inc. ok thanks

[@keithmcgee1253]

What kind of utility bill do you average monthly for having such a huge setup?

[@Somethingfishyinc]

Ugh.. to much

[@CoralMan24]

how does he heat the basement?

[@Somethingfishyinc]

CoralMan24 furnace for each space set at 78 degrees.

[@Ali-Muscle]

What kind of cat was that at 23:13

[@somethingfishyinc.5313]

La Shaun Ali ..it's a full grown marble cat. Native to Florida.

[@Somethingfishyinc]
