Wow those are truly gorgeous fish, almost as gorgeous as a school of cpd’s

MD calling that tank’s condition ‘bad’ me: *nervous chuckle *

[@farmfishandfreedom2933]

I think the rocks look better with the algae. That’s just me.

[@justinkmiddleton21]

I agree I've been trying to build up algae in certain parts of the aquarium makes it look more natural in my opinion

[@hrsyk]

Yep. I can agree with you 100%

[@aquagarden9054]

Yeah it looks more natural

[@udanimallawarachchi9820]

Even i agree.

Those kribensis are definitely going to breed in your tank, they are very easy to breed and your tank is perfect! Great job MD

[@evalouise9158]

Honestly I love that you post on the days I need it the most, thanks so much for your videos they bring me so much joy

[@glennk.7348]

Those kribensis are absolutely stunning!! You do such a great job of showing your tanks! It like a wildlife show!

[@jay1033]

Those fish are INSANE! Also the scape is looking awesome.

[@audrameyer9558]

Stunning! Kribs are one of my fav. I have 5 breeding pairs. Watching them raise their fry is such an amazing thing to see. Albino Kribs are awesome too.

[@stephaniesaberhagen]

Back blackground had me in stitches. I feel so validated to hear someone else get tongue tied as bad as I.

[@davidbaker6382]

Wow! Kribensis, the best fish I've ever seen I think. Both of your Betta tanks look excellent. I don't know which one I like betta...;)

[@twunderaquatics1770]

I love kribs and this tank. The blue background is refreshing. And hands down on the Hellboy tank. Thanks. Liked

[@douglasnoren3348]

Kribensis are awesome little cichlids, , you will not be able to stop them from breeding!

[@proxactual]

rarely see colours on a fish that make me go "wow" these days, but that krib female is amazing!

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

I'm at a loss for words for everything you're doing MD.. go figure me being lost for words 🤣🤣 I just love every tank you've set up you are so inspirational and I love the Kribs.. you have single-handedly inspired me more than you ever know and I love you and your family my friend!!

Kribensis... Or as we call them in Netherlands "Kersenbuik ciclide". Takes me back 30 years when i had a pair for a month. Soon i had a lot of them. In your tank they will def spawn mate, they got a real nice home now.

[@quint3570]

Lucky pair of kribs, same goes for the blood fins awesome setup! 👍

[@Proinsperation]

glad to see the kribs have got a new home. They were clearly returns that got aggressive in another tank

[@nutbridges6965]

Greetings MD. I bred Kribensis for years. They are the easiest cichlid to breed in my experience. Even easier than guppies. Fun fact. The females show more colour than the male. I had to separate my pair because they were breeding way to often. Enjoy them and get ready for hundreds of fry.

[@cam1723]

Haven’t even watched the video yet but I know it’s gonna make my day

[@benwhitford5703]

The hardscape is exquisite

[@alexberko238]

I’m starting a kribensis tank and this build has been a great inspiration

[@Ze-Germanzuk]

Kribs are the best fish I've ever owned, perfect size and the males look amazing. Brilliant to see them setup home in a cave and raise fry

[@jxlenny1059]

What i love about your videos is that they are reaally pretty but not that insanely professional scaped like green aqua for example, you inspire us with tanks that we can recreate

[@chrisj6243]

I'm the 1st on , love how each tank has its own cleanup crew

[@sachaholt6023]

Try sticking a heater in with the apistos and rams (around 28 Celsius for the rams) - they’ll be much more happy. They’ll also be more interested in breeding. Great video!

[@patrickjenkins6573]

I think he said the room is heated to 80 degrees so there isn’t need for a heater

[@sachaholt6023]

@@patrickjenkins6573 nah he said he heats to 22 Celsius which is around 72 Fahrenheit. Heating bills for 80 would be through the roof.

[@shel.b.1090]

Omg md those Kribs are beautiful. Love they look like they have peacock markings on their dorsal fins, thank you for introducing them to us 💜💜💜💜

[@philipashley1517]

Great advise on the black tape ,,,will have to try that,👍👍

[@unspokenfishkeeping3100]

Use a turky baster to suck the babies out once the cribs bring them out for a swim. Once if the babies survive in that tank it will nearly be impossible to catch then when they are ready to moved on to a new home. Put the fry in a tank when the plants are in pot and all the decorations can be removed easily.

[@mariamhernandez3377]

GORGEOUS ❤️💯❤️ MD absolutely beautiful creatures 😍

[@carolebraswell982]

Just as I think I have a favorite tank, you build another! However, my favorite fish are the Kribs. I have a pair myself! Spectacular looking little fish!!

[@ajnfire]

2:05 Red alien hand! 😆

[@michellebastin5286]

Beautiful fish. The colours are so bright & pretty against your amazing plants. Great choice 🥰

[@ros7754]

Hi MD, i recently bought a Superfish tank as well as you recommended and i have to say i'm impressed! Good quality and easy to set-up, the light is very bright and the glass is amazing. Maybe you can get them to sponsor a video someday and you can talk about their aquarium sets or something? Anyway, thanks for the tip!

[@SP-qs4yh]

I always recommend their filters to, easy to clean and a decent amount of flow

[@themanonthemoon182]

Love all your videos bro! I do miss your older videos though when you would diagnose issues in your tanks and show yourself sorting them! Really helped me with my tanks issues! Thanks for all the content though!

[@hannahshouseplants3649]

Fish are so satisfying, My parents probably won't let me have a betta fish but I still love watching!

[@ElSenorHyde]

Wow- what a stunning pair of Kribs. Got me wanting some now!

[@dynamicdeadhead]

Fish Shop Matt! I love his long hair!!! It’s SO CUTE!!! I wish I could see him with his mask off. Long hair? No giant beard? I wanna see!!! 👁👁

[@sassilou]

I get my fish from here. Last time I was there I got some black phantoms. They have a brilliant personality. So funny watching the males battle for the female!

[@gr8fuldad815]

Nerite snails, possibly a octocinclus or 4 and that algae would be gone. Big fan of kribensis, Beautiful fish!

[@JC_303]

Kribs are insanely easy to breed once paired, we had a tank way before aquascaping was a thing (maybe late 90s) that we put a tea mug in. They moved in almost instantly and had hundreds of babies. Unfortunately they get super agressive so it can be stressful but very interesting to watch them protect the brood.

[@TheCornishFishkeeper]

I seen these two fish in Maidenhead Aquatics a few weeks back. They really are stunning!

[@annalee7403]

It looks like an excellent store.

[@AntScapes1]

I actually preferred it with the algae man! Either they both looked sick, I just think it looked more natural with the algae haha. Love the video bud. Much love ❤️

[@TorontoJon]

Yes, the algae gave the rocks more character and detail. :)

[@Badfish277]

Those Kribs are stunning! I've had some in the past and they had half of the amount of colors that yours do.

[@wgodfrey088]

And people go for marine fish for colour, those are absolutely stunning.

[@Natquascape]

I find that tanks with stones that leech calcium carbonate can prevent you from reaching balanced dGH and dKH which can lead to algea as well.

[@tob-mj4735]

Niice 🔥Got myself 4 Kribensis cichlids myself a few weeks ago. Absolutely love them. Hope you enjoy keeping them 👏

[@marcthamke7545]

For the rams i can recommend heating the tank at least to 27°C, then they spawn like crazy 😉☺️

[@flyflung]

Funny, I made a tank almost exactly like this a week before watching this video. Less plants though. Yours looks better. Thank you for the video.

[@chrisj6243]

Awesome , love how u see ur design to the end ,

[@causualdadcreates5094]

MD, how do you get your floating plants to not be eaten up by your surface skimmer? Mine keep plugging it and then it ends up sucking them into the canister.

[@peterkurta6322]

So beautiful! I wonder if putting a bit of peat moss in the filter might kickstart breading. I know when I added a tiny bit to my betta tanks, they both started making bubble nests the next day. I don't know much around the science of softer water and breeding, but I hope you get the little fish bebes soon!

[@louiswintle8312]

my golden ram pair was almost albino in colour when I first picked them up, within a few months their blues and oranges have come out a treat. look forward to watching you do a specific scape for them. (Bristol based)

[@DasEmpress]

Oh, those Kribs are beautiful!

[@evrosgeorgiou]

Amazing job man, love the kribs they are my fish of choice also 👍 the setup rocks !!!

[@milkweeddreams8828]

WOW, they are amazing, my faves so far...tank are amazing...who can choose, they are all rocking it !!!

[@bernardoconnor5512]

Just a warning MD, the blooodfin may jump when spooked and just in general. I think the water level that you have is good enough 🙌🏻👍🏼

[@comment.highlighted]

Beautiful tank! I love the aquascape 😃

[@t.o.e.g.y.8602]

another way to control lighting levels is to get some floater plants but turning down the lights works too

[@SP-qs4yh]

Be careful kribs are one of the most aggressive dwarf cichlids out there. I’ve heard of stories of people saying that even large aggressive fish such as Jaguar and jack Dempsey cichlids have been pushed away from a breeding pair of kribs.

[@dennisbinkhorst2039]

Also, it may be hard to get rid of juveniles as they breed so easily.

[@martinkarlsson478]

I had one pair of jewel cichlids and one pair of kribensis in a 200l tank, the kribensis will be considered calm an loving in comparison to the jewels.

[@SP-qs4yh]

@@martinkarlsson478 jewels are even worse when breeding because of their larger size and aggressive behaviour

[@camillaheedart4992]

you should make a video where u invite the shop guy into your studio

[@faedoyle4147]

I love them I LOVE THEM!!! They need better hides though. Something they can defend!! Just gorgeous!!!

[@thefishinggamekeeper5713]

I have a plan suggestions for you. Have you ever tried growing bacopa/moneywort, water Sprite or Valisnaria? Very good plants, but grow a bit out of hand when established and happy. Hope this helps.

[@darrenderousse4804]

Wow those fish are gorgeous! Love the scape MD! Maybe more than the betta tank, but I do like driftwood! Hopefully you get breeding cause that would be awesome! Good luck!

[@MsDragonfire1992]

I've been having such bad luck with kribensis lately. The females are always great but the males seem to always die within a couple of weeks. Water parameters are all good. Just added a male again today to see if he's OK as I got him from somewhere else.

[@karro2648]

I have kept about 35 kribs (same as yours) in my 180 gallon tank (it was from one spawn so they are all siblings) and they have been doing great. They are like 5-6 years old now so they are dying one after one from old age, but some of them are still trying to breed. I have been breeding different cichlids for a long time but I think these are pretty peaceful for a cichlid. Super easy to breed. With fry they are crazy, but most cichlids are with fry. I am bored of them now after so many years so I can’t wait to do something different with the tank after they all pass away.

[@Ilostmyschmungus]

Will you be doing any African cichlid tanks?

[@Ilostmyschmungus]

Also if you only want smaller tanks you could do shell dwellers. My personal favorite african cichlid

[@noLuckyStrike09]

That fishshop guy always reminds me of Austin Powers :D

[@NYCityCichlids]

[@5020886]

What kinda mechanism are you using ng to empty and refill the tank?

The new fish are gorgeous, so colorful and beautiful. How are they called? Someone suggested Lincoln for the new betta, I agree, it's a cool name. I actually believed that a good cleaning crew could be infallible against algae

[@Roboworm99]

You need more cave type structures for the apisto. The Kribs I took my 4 times to get it right

Have kept a few different types of these this one is very easy to bred where as the Nigerian red can be a bit more difficult.ive about 40 2-3 cm baby’s of these though the male in this species seem to be very weak in this strain.

I have a breeding pair of Kribs that look near identical to these. I have a batch of around 30 fry that around a month old and are about to go into their own 125L tank as I wanna try to have a Kribensis only tank. Hopefully like Malawi they won't be so aggressive and single out fish as there will be too many. Would be amazing if I can make it work
