Beautiful collection Darius. Great collection of Viejas. I've never seen a jag or a dovii in a "community" but somehow you're doing it. I don't see a lot of fin damage, it's amazing. Thanks!

Wow. What a super aquarium full,of very colourful and beautiful fish. I used to keep American cichlids when I had a 6 foot tank but I sold it earlier this year due to cost of running it, the cost of living and high energy cost . However I now have a few smaller aquariums with African mbuna and peacock cichlids which are very colourful fish. I loved the mixed variety of fish in your huge aquarium. It was so enjoyable to watch, many thanks. I’m sure you will agree keeping fish is a amazingly interesting hobby.

Thanks, because she's a female I believe I can keep her for her full life with these fish. Females are far less aggressive than males, at this size a male would likely be too aggressive. The only threat from her is if she decides to lay eggs, which is possible but I believe unlikely in this tank

@wabalaka15653 жыл бұрын
No Dovii, 1 or 2 of the big cichlid and maybe a group of 5 of medium size veija and u can have fun mixing your own favorite fish. Those fish need space to thrive. U can have more they will survive but u won't see the interaction u want.
@dwsdarius3 жыл бұрын
I'd say in a 180 5-6 adult cichlids. You can have more as juveniles and it'll probably be best to have more if you buy them young that way you can pick out the ones you like most and remove the ones that are too aggressive. Even with my 350g, once they are all full grown I might settle with 10-12 cichlids because I want them to get very big
@sureshkumar-pt5qo2 жыл бұрын
can i keep 3 of these in a 5 foot 120 gallon aquarium ?
@dwsdarius2 жыл бұрын
With these fish the rule is either 1 individual fish, a mated pair or a colony of 5 or more. If you just get 3 the most dominate will likely kill the least dominate, with groups of 5 or more the aggression is usually balanced better. You can get five if you mix with smaller species like convicts or salvini

Honestly ... the most aggressive fish I've owned were always Melanochromis Auratus.. Maybe it's just in the water in Australia but that everytime we had them, they were psycho and everything else hid; we even put one in with our Jaguar cichlids and it had them too scared for food. We never kept them of course, we usually sold them and got rid of them
