[@KaveManAquatics]

Thank you bro! Glad you’re enjoying the channel! 😁💪

[@robmelo7028]

Hey Kev, great video as usual! Question do you pump straight tap water to your tank? Or do you get it to temp first the pump it to your tank?. I have been sending water to a separate container getting it to temp then add all of my chems and minerals let it mix and aerate with a pump then send it to my tank. When I upgrade to a 200+ tank I won't be able to do this as easily. Your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks man your a great addition to this space!

[@KaveManAquatics]

So I fill up a 55G tote in my tub and set the hot and cold to the temp I need, then my pump sends the warm water to the tank. Keep in mind that your temp doesnt have to be exact. 3-5 degrees off is ok but of course this depends on how hardy your fish are. Heres a video of how I refill my tank - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4WXpZKGmb12h9k

I love your videos. :) Wanna share my experience, when I started I bought a used 75 gallon tank took me 2 months looking for what I can afford with only CA$300 of budget and found $250 which is everything is included like 2 wavemaker, Fluval 406, 2 heater, decor gravel worth $300, a tank with lid and 2 lights with stand on perfect condition and of course 24 cichlid 20 of it are peacock and hap cichlid unfortunate during transpo 2 of OB died. anyways 4 of the cichlids which is at first didnt know what is it and it turns out 4 frontosas and they are 9 inches and of course I did my research and turns out 1 of them can go with 75 gallon and decided to rehome them and posted it free the guy who picked it up gave me $140 for 4 which is made me happy but then when the guy was leaving I felt sad and cried I felt bad rehoming them and I got too attached on them for only a month with me.

[@KaveManAquatics]

Not really, especially when switching to Africans since they are brackish fish even if theres a little salt residue left in the tank they'll be fine with it. Highly suggest you start with this playlist loaded with tons of info on African Cichlids - kzbin.info/aero/PLP5OXTIIDO8MG9hyJ8PjbC33zEbcyy8__

What amount of lake salt do you use in your water change

[@KaveManAquatics]

The amount I use won’t help you. The dosage amounts are on the bottle. Calculate based on the size of your water change, not the entire volume of water.

[@Lenardius]

Hi Kaveman, I want to pick you brain. I've had African Cichlids for about a year now. A few deaths here and there early on (I'm still a beginner) but for a while it was good now I'm getting the one of death here and there the past 3 months like some dying every 2 weeks) My water parameters are good, I have good filters (Fluval 407) and most of the recommendations form you (wave maker etc). I can't figure out why some would die. I have a 200 Litre tank (43 gallons) I noticed fish days before i know they will die is that they're often slow. hang back from the rest when they swim up to the tanks. it like they're very low on energy. What could be the problem?

Hey Kev, I've been following your channel for quite a bit now and I must say, you got this hobby down packed.. Love your tanks bro. Just a quick question though ? I have an adult size Insignus Hap about 6 to 7 inches. He is tank mates with a bunch of other peacocks and haps. So it's been around 2 months now and he does not want to eat anything. Besides him all my other fish eat perfectly fine. Is there anything that I can do to have him eat? I feed them Omega one pellets and bug bites from time to time. I've been testing my water and doing water changes at least once a week and everything seems to be good. I'd really appreciate any feedback you may have on this lil issue. Don't want my big boy to die sooner or later. Happy fish keeping to you and all my friends!!!!!!

[@KaveManAquatics]

Not eating is a sign of internal parasites. First I suggest you try feeding him this - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mITTc4iig5JroKs If he still doesn't eat it, and you notice his size begins to reduce then you may have to resort to this - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJiQoICkeL6brdU

I’m more of don’t mix fish from different lakes. I’m in the process of setting up a tank just for Frontosa

[@KaveManAquatics]

That's gonna be a great looking tank! 😊

[@brycedewberry4201]

Why don’t u have live plants, would u have to do water changes with a planted tank?

[@KaveManAquatics]

My guys eat and destroy live plants. You would still have to water change but plants help in reducing Nitrate levels.

Two questions. 1- Do all water conditioners deplete oxygen? 2- What are the dimensions to your 210? Thanks, Awesome and helpful video.

[@wabalaka1565]

I believe all water conditioner on the market deplete oxygen because the chemical reaction need oxygen to complete. Unless they come up with new chemical reaction which is (unnecessary) for marketing purposes of taking more of your money. I don't see why they would reinvent the wheel.

whats up kev are those frontosa all male?

[@KaveManAquatics]

I think 2 are male, 1 possible female. Too small to vent yet. I’m keeping an eye on that one!

[@Constantine_Cvl8]

How big should a frontosa be before I can put them with almost full grown peacocks haps?

[@KaveManAquatics]

Always add fish as close to the size of the bigger fish as you can. The smaller they are the more likelihood of stress.

[@morehp2121]

got 7 fronts in my 75 gallon tank along with 2 borleyi 1 blue dolphin 1 sulfur head and 3 yellow lab and a few other loaches and 2 small redhead tapajos. when im enjoying looking at the tank, i can't see any aggression issue at all. but 3 months later, my frontosa keep on dying 1 after the other. i even lost my biggest black widow frontosa but still can't seem to figure it out who is the culprit behind it. hopefully you'll have a better result sir. Im still sad about this thing as i save quite an amount of money to get my hand on those frontosa.😔

[@KaveManAquatics]

Sorry for that loss bro...It has to be an aggression issue. Frontosa arent as aggressive as the Africans, especially the mbuna. The mix you have is destined for aggression problems....check out my free webinar on African Cichlids - event.webinarjam.com/channel/KaveMan-Aquatics

[@robertscales3689]

How long do you keep your fish in the grow out tank?

[@KaveManAquatics]

Depends on the fish…Frontosas grow slow. I think they were in the grow out 3 or 4 months. But they’re not even close to how big they can get.

[@luizsarfilho619]

Congratulation friend. I são yoy have a botia in your tank. Here we learn that she lives with the africanos cichlids, but dont like the very alcaline water! What do you think about?

[@KaveManAquatics]

Sorry dont know about that fish

[@lorisellers724]

What should the minimum size of tank be for cichlids?

[@KaveManAquatics]

55 gallons - Check out my playlist for best info on African Cichlids - kzbin.info/aero/PLP5OXTIIDO8MG9hyJ8PjbC33zEbcyy8__

[@MakoyUnggoy]

All depends on what cichlids, if it's only shell dwellers then a 10g would be fine, if it's Emperor cichlids then an indoor pond would be fine!

[@emmanuelsdad1688]

I've bought a group of frontosa from a local fish store, but they haven't eat anything from the day i kept in my aquarium. One week has already passed. Please help

[@KaveManAquatics]

Try some live black worms or frozen brine shrimp to get their appetite going. If that doesn’t work, they may have internal parasites. If so watch this - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mITTc4iig5JroKs
