Thank you !!! I love learning from your videos. ☺️ Shortly after I started my tank in August, I almost gave it up because I got frustrated with trying to curb the aggression between my Peacocks specifically. But I’ve learned a lot watching your videos and I can now say that I am enjoying the ride!!! Btw: the addition of my Blood Parrot made a huge difference. HaHa 🤣 He is the official Ring Leader of the whole tank!! Who would’ve thought

Hey kev when you order them what size do you order or what’s a good size preferably? I want to them already have color but not two big. I wanna see them grow in the process of this hobby I’m starting.

Go with 2-3" if you can get guaranteed males. If not go with 3-4". They'll start to color up around the 3" mark. I have a free webinar training on African Cichlids, you should check it out! - event.webinarjam.com/channel/KaveMan-Aquatics

2 Quick question is it true the more other fish u have per Mbunas the less aggressive they will be, and my other question is how big will your pleco get because I was wanting to add 1 in my 65 gallon along with 13 other fish 1 including a 2inch silver catfish
@KaveManAquatics4 жыл бұрын
@@darrellbinford9756 they don’t get less aggressive technically, you just help to motivate the aggression by having more fish. But yes, overstocking helps. A common pleco can grow bigger than 12”+...I have a bristlenose pleco that only grows to about 5-6”

@@KaveManAquatics ok thanks thats what I'm currently doing now gradually adding more cichlids to the tank and a bristlenose pleco is the right size 1 I need nothing any bigger than that, preciate it man..

Kave your a real one. I just bought a 10 gallon for my 5 year old with a couple tetras and Gouramis. But now I’m starting to get into it. About how many cichlids can you have in a 55 gal tank?
@KaveManAquatics3 жыл бұрын
Thanks bro, you can go for 8-12 in a 55 depending on their size 👍
