ive had mbuna and peacocks together on multiple tanks for a long time. i never had an issue. i always thought it was just one of those things most people are too scared to try

[@brianhahn3296]

Nice new setup dude, fish like they’re enjoying the bigger space I know mine did when I switched from a 75 to a 180

[@dnasty8896]

Very detailed and informative video man. I’m upgrading my 29 gallon to a 75 in a couple weeks. This video was very helpful.

[@DukeCityAquariums]

Thanks I'm glad it helped out :)

[@donniebrazis]

That 75 looks great 👍🏻

[@jaredrice660]

Just came across your page today. I live in ABQ as well. Nice tank bro!!

[@razielsenketsu]

Oh shit i saw the zia symbol and i was like this dude in New Mexico? Im from Roswell! Lol

[@user-ho8tx4yo7z]

Looks great!!

[@FridayFishFacts]

It looks great

[@matthewmoorecichlids2323]

What up Dude! Just found you. New supporter. Congrats on the 75 gal. The Caribbean Supernaturals sand is excellent also. They have a tan color called Sunset Gold. It looks fantastic. Love the setup bro.👍✌️😎

[@DukeCityAquariums]

Thanks I appreciate that... yea the sand has been really nice I like it a lot I hadn't used this one before

[@ConnerH5656]

Love the video

[@flagrantlytrue]

That OB is hella nice!

[@ratstarone]

Nice tank

[@antonioacuna3603]

Question, why didn’t you wash the aragonite sand before applying it to the tank

[@thiransamarajeewa6753]

Nice ❤ thank can put Denison barb together

[@redlfc5058]

What fish do you have in there? I’m looking to add fish to my 75 gallon cause I currently just have a peacock eel .

[@themanfromcabowabo1559]

I’ve always started the siphon and put the tube in a bucket. Then sucked up all the sand. All that’s left is dumping the water off the top and the bucket into the new aquarium. HTH someone.

[@NotSure876]

Looks great, your scape is very similar to mine. You’re in ABQ?

[@ngrgroyper6004]

WWG1WGA i see the Tshirt bro 👍🏻

[@83mgroux]

From start to finish, How many hours did it take?

[@shawneliason3259]

Really nice lemon jakes! Where did you get them?

[@DukeCityAquariums]

Thanks....most of these fish are from imperial tropicals

[@lewisspeed3041]

Great job,what are those gray rocks called in your new tank,also I just subscribed

[@DukeCityAquariums]

Thank you I appreciate that...those rocks are called SEIRYU stone I got them from aquariumcoop.com

[@lewisspeed3041]

Thanks,I appreciate the info,keep doing great things,we need good African cichlid videos like on KZbin

[@chriss8206]

What size were your peacocks when they started to get color

[@ryanardiseptiandi8400]

What is the size of the aquarium?

[@bretts7694]

Rinsing the sand would've prevented a lot of that cloudiness at first. But that 75 gallon looks so much better. I want to upgrade my 55 gallon peacock and hap tank to something bigger

[@Miss_Lexi92]

U don't rinse live sand kills all the bacteria 🤣🤔

[@bretts7694]

@@Miss_Lexi92 you don’t need it.

[@Miss_Lexi92]

@@bretts7694 erm yes u do otherwise u might aswell buy normal sand, the whole point of live sand is because it has beneficial bacteria in, do you keep African cichlids? I sure hope not. You'll be saying u don't need dechlorinator or lake buffering salt next 🤣🤣

[@bretts7694]

@@Miss_Lexi92 I don’t need to prove anything to you. I bought live sand simply for aesthetics of the kind I got because I know how to cycle a tank. I’ve never used live sand to introduce bacteria 🤣

[@Miss_Lexi92]

@@bretts7694 like I said I hope u don't keep African cichlids. Nice picture. Stick to catching wild outdoor fish buddy 👌

[@SarahsPets2004]

How many fish are in it

[@britishberet9255]

Did anyone else notice power puff girls was playing in the reflection of the tank

[@victorvargas1911]

DAMN THATS EXACTLY WHAT IM TRYING TO DO TO MY TANK CAUSE I HAVE PEACOCKS AND HAPS AND I DEF NEED AN UPGRADE BUT IM AFFRAID I LIVE IN A 3 FLOOR BUILDING LITTLE NERVOUS THAT IT MIGHT BE TO MUCH WEIGHT .

[@victorvargas1911]

Sorry phone was just like that. Didn’t notice.

[@Miss_Lexi92]

I would not go any bigger then a 40 gallon breeder in a 3 floor building. Just a little advice, the floors that high up are not made for tanks full of water

[@thomasobrien127]

Just moved to Placitas and want to start a 75 gallon mbuna tank. Any suggestions on where to buy equipment and fish

[@DukeCityAquariums]

Hey there thanks for stopping by...a 75 gallon mbuna tank would be really awesome...I would reccomend buying the tank from petco when they have there sales since you can get them super cheap..as for the fish I would go with tampabaycichlids.com or imperialtropicals.com....the main local fish store in Alb is Clark's but imo they are really overpriced in terms of equipment so when it comes to heaters/filters I go with amazon

[@joshd1365]

Petco has half off tanks so you’ll get a 75 cheap right now I would absolutely do research on where your gonna order from especially on Tampa bay if you have Facebook check out the wonders of cichlids Trevor or Rons cichlids

[@KK-qb1ve]

People think I'm crazy for loving my fish tanks. What kind of paint did you use to paint the back black??

[@christophergarza210]

KK 9301 Lmfao! Only us fish enthusiast love the fish game & also learning from each other. To be honest I can’t tell how he painted his background of the tank. Although, I’ve always spray painted my background with a nice dark blue. At that since I’m not a fan of sand or gravel, I tend to spray paint the bottom of the tank black. Just so it won’t look awkward. I can’t wait to set up my 125 gallon all peacock cichlid tank. 210 San Antonio Tx style

[@sofias8179]

Yoooooo

[@moneymansqweez2174]

Hey so this is a peacock cichlid tank no mbunas right ?

[@Miss_Lexi92]

He has a few mbunas in there including the yellow lab, I would not advise mixing mbunas with anything other then their own species

[@riteshfamily369]

greate tank bro i like it ive 90 gallone and i ve mixed malawi all hap peackok and mbunas so m cichlid lover i love your tank nice please can you tell me what youve feed them and water temperature... but such nice tank......

[@DukeCityAquariums]

Thank you I appreciate that...I feed a northfin cichlid pellet and a hikari veggie pellet... also it's good to mix in blood worms and brine shrimp and I usually keep the tank anywhere from 80-84 degrees

[@layzurx4303]

Can I have the 55 gallon?

[@mblend1]

Dude I think we were in the same unit.

[@DukeCityAquariums]

877 ?

What is that white tank in the background?

That's my diy 90 gallon flowerhorn tank I did a full video series on it if you wanna check it out

[@danstanford89]

Must be a nightmare to clean the sand on this tank

Its actually not too bad...I just use the electric eheim gravel vac and spot clean when I need to
