I’ve been singing the praises of Florida Flag Fish and their algae cleaning for a while now. I used mine to combat black beard algae and he completely obliterated it. Moved him to another tank to deal with some hair algae and had the same positive result. In both cases he was in planted tanks with nano fish (CPD, tetras) and he paid them no mind whatsoever.

The coolest part is that my 2 baby angel fish, about the size of a quarter, have really taken to and been excepted by hatchet fish. The angles are very similar in color I would say very close to camouflage colored. They float with their noses up next to the top slightly tilted. In the exact same position as the hatchetfish. They spend almost their whole day floating in the center of the hatchetfish in a tight little cluster. Pretty cute

My 40 breeder I initially went with liberty mollies, would recommend that your tank isn't TOO densely planted, had WAAAY too many fry (started with 10 and wound up with approximately 70 in a month, there was little to no cannibalism, and took quite the effort to remove and rehome them all. figure less plant cover and some predatory fish would help reduce the population of fry to a more manageable level if I give them another go.

I watched your mbuna video and some others and it seems like the consensus is that I need a minimum of 75 gallons, but I also know about the 40B surface area being perfect for those slightly bigger cichlids. Also the whole aggression thing seems to be split between giving the fish enough space but also overcrowding to lower their aggression. How could I nitpick this to make this work out? I have a fair bit of cichlid experience but they’ve always been solo or a centerpiece amongst smaller tropicals.

I'm trying a Tanganyikan community with multis, cadopunctatus, and cyprichromis leptosoma. Not sure if I like it because I really enjoyed watching mu multis breed and all the fry. I'm torn on whether I'll keep the tank as is. It's a 55g. I'm going to try to change the scape and move some rocks and shells around and see what happens. My first set up had rocks on one side and shells on the other. The problem is that cados took over the shell area and are harassing all the other fish. We'll see if changing the rocks and shells changes anything. I may end up rehoming the cados and trying the multis and leptosoma and see how that works. I also have a 40g breeder double stand and currently only have 1 40g breeder set up and running. It has my Adoketa ivanacara as the main fish with some dither fish and L494s. I'm thinking about setting up a 2nd 40g breeder and trying to get a breeding group of a more rare mbuna like saulosi, fainzilberi, maybe a fuelleborni maramlade cat breeding group. Something similar to these options.

Jason can I put 6 electric blue Acura and 4 super red LYRETAIL swordtails and a green phantom pleco in a 40 breeder , and I’m running a 110 TIDAL filter and I do weekly 50 percent changes Thanks

It should be ok. You might have to upgrade after a while given the size of the EBA and green phantom when full grown?

Could you please do a 30 gallon vid?

Hi really cool video and just what I was looking for as I've got new 43g and 75gallon tanks, deffinitely want to do some breeding So I really wanted to see if I could do a Leopold's angelfish pair and a apisto pair in the same tank, a substantial cave system so that only the apisto's could get in (was thinking that might give the apistos enough space if the angel's get chasey). still looking around for info and not sure if its really do-able in the 43g but if you could see any major holes then I'd love a shout! if so then molly's/swordtails or the shell/rock dweller Idea you gave will probably be what I go with!

Why are EBA never included in 40g breeder centerpiece?
