5 of My FISH that *SUPER POP* a Color EXPLOSION!

These fish look like they have battery packs! Neon greens, blues, reds, they are a super pop color explosion! I love the color of all my fish, but these really stand out! Check them out and tell me in the comments below if you have any fish with color that is just off the chart. Color that looks like it's some kind of electric neon sign.

My jewels are just as you would describe, lit up with Christmas lights. Your geos and green terror definitely look amazing and highlighted with that glow. Awesome looking fish and great video! Stay happy and healthy my friend!! 😊❤

[@wdd6864]

Love the videos. The powder blue Dwarf gourami shows a lot of color for a smaller fish. I love my electric yellow African Cichlids.

[@Jerry-lj3cf]

Ben, I must say you have some healthy and beautiful fish that we all love to see at anytime you make a video. 😊

[@BenOchart]

Thank you😀👍🏻

[@steverees1936]

Red Shouldered Severums and Discus stand out for me, but in truth there are so many that are mind-blowing to me. Turkana Jewel Cichlid and Fire Dwarf Gourami also stand out for two different reasons. 😁😁😁

[@BenOchart]

Jewels are crazy pretty. But they tend to come with a lot of attitude.

[@steverees1936]

@@BenOchart the Turkana Jewel is smaller and more peaceful, unless they are breeding of course 😂

[@jeremymoore450]

Ben, Your AF cichlids were active like crazy. So pretty. The fish I own that I think really pop is my EBA, AC Heckali, my Male Salvini has so much color and so pretty. Every now and then I catch the fire mouth blue on the top of his top fin. So he kind of pops also. My gold severum looks good in the light also and kind of sparkles. Appreciate the video sir. ❤😊

[@BenOchart]

Great fish choices!

[@josepolanco1228]

Always the amazing colors of the Africans leave in awe. Would live to keep them , just the aggression is the things that keeps me away. I keep discus and other non aggressive south americans and geo. The closest i will become is my 3 electric blue acara. Love them. Thank for sharing your tanks. I enjoy them in someone else’s tanks 😅

[@BenOchart]

I get it. The aggression has been hard to take sometimes.

I have always wanted a flower horn, but I didn’t for that same reason and even I couldn’t stand to justify the ducal hump every time someone walks by the tank. Piranha are just too specific and require loads of room. Arrowanna I wanna say I’ve only ever seen put in the correct set up about 10 times but absolutely, prolific, jumpers. Koi are gorgeous and grow faster than you could ever think. This being said if you time it right and grow out 5-7 at 12$-20$ in a 75, come June those fish could be 120$ to the right buyer with a fish with good colour 👍. And I agree about the pleco, as is I have 2 rapheal cat I never see that were not super expensive but even my bristlenose hides 98-% of the time. Jeeze hope that wasn’t too judgy, great video and stay happy and healthy my friend! 😊 ❤

[@BenOchart]

Jason at Primetime Aquatics just released a video about fish he’ll never own. Very similar to the ones you mention.

[@frankiefingerz8047]

In my tank my flavescent usisya & benga sunshine pop best I never felt that sa/ca cichlids really pop tho i always felt they looked washed out compared to af cichlids thats why i switched yrs ago to afs

[@BenOchart]

Those, along with the Ruby Red and Otter Point, IMHO, have amazing color.

[@patrickwilliams711]

Hi Ben which wave maker you use in your large aquariums

[@BenOchart]

Hydor Koralia G3 have been good. I have them on timers.
