Amazing African Cichlid Store Tour in Canada // Finatics Aquarium

[@davidbalderston2751]

The quality of this shop's employees shows that they are really committed to their hobby.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Absolutely 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@markbaumgardt2868]

Didn't see any large preditor such as Buccochromis and Chamsorchomis etc did they have the monster haps

[@GenXHeart]

Thank you Kaity, Gordon and Cameraman! That was very informative! If I were planning an African Lake tank I'd absolutely be replaying this like crazy to make my wish list!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Most definitely!! It's such a perfect video for anyone wanting to set up a tank. I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@Superkorn1768]

Cant go wrong with Finatics i go there at least once a week, Johnny is the best, they know so much, and love helping customers.

[@Kaityscichlids]

That's awesome to hear!! The owner was in touch with me too to thank me for the video and was so very kind, they are a brilliant store :)

[@garrettpace2701]

What an Amazing shop, Kaity! I am always jealous of people that have shops of this size and quality in their area. An incredible selection of Cichlids and a super knowledgeable and friendly staff. Another great video. Thanks, Lady!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Yes it was absolutely amazing! I'm so glad I got to visit and check it out. Thank you heaps for your kind words :)

[@Lion-h3art]

When I kept african cichlids back in the day, this was my main store. The selection always blew my mind.

[@Kaityscichlids]

That's awesome!! What a great local store to have 😊🐟

[@MikeFish316]

Great video Kaity! I hope you had a great time in Toronto! That is my favourite fish shop, great owner and employees

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you!! I had a brilliant time and even got to see Niagara Falls :D So awesome to hear it's your favourite store too :)

[@matt01506]

When i got back into the hobby, i knew having one tank wouldn't last long ! I have kept a Malawi set up in the past, so this time, i can't stop thinking about a South American tank. I am thinking about geophagus and a green terror, but you have just thrown a "Spanner in the works" with this fantastic Malawi video ! Realistically, it has to be one or the other as i already have a fair sized tank full of Green and black ruby barbs. I know i will eventually give in to both ! KAITY AND HER ADDICTIVE VIDEOS 🤦‍♂️😁 (great video as always )

[@Kaityscichlids]

Hahahaha, the more the merrier I say! 😅🤣 I'm glad you enjoyed it 😁🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@tylerastles8936]

I am so glad she visited my local shop. Finatics is the best one in the entire GTA. So kind and knowledgeable. I have purchased and sold many fish that I have personally bred to them.

[@Kaityscichlids]

That's so great to hear :) They are an awesome store! I was so glad I got to visit

[@hydrostream76]

i live 20 minutes from there It's a Beautiful store have not seen one with so many selection of cichlids Great Video Kaity

[@Kaityscichlids]

Wow you are so lucky to live so close!! Thank you very much

[@thominaduncanson7596]

Finatics--Great fish store, great knowledgeable tour guide employee, and lots of information about African cichlids--10 out of 10!

[@penngrey]

So beautiful! Great collection. Hopefully before you leave Canada you can visit Quebec Cichlids in Terrebonne Quebec. Richelle has a great store and awesome personality to go with it!

[@Kaityscichlids]

I'll have to check it out next time :D

[@amariadore1618]

Kaity has done yet another Amazing job.. Introducing awesome shops with Incredible people! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS

[@Kaityscichlids]

Yayyyy, I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😊🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@michaelmaddux7375]

Respectful knowledge of his trade. Very nice to hear someone properly pronounce mbuna without saying "embuna."

[@KrazyKZs_Garage]

Always wondered what the proper pronunciation was?

[@alexhaney100]

This is where I got my cichlids from! Great store ❤

[@Kaityscichlids]

That's awesome!! You are lucky to live near such a great store :)

[@Scaping_the_six]

Awesome video Kaity, it was great meeting you in person

[@Kaityscichlids]

It was so lovely to meet you too!! 🙏🏼🙌🏻

[@8301TheJMan]

I dunno why but i lol'd when you started by asking Johnny, "Do you work here?" If that had been me i would jokingly replied, "me - nah, im just a customer," lol. Great vid, great store!

[@Jackie-j5m]

I got paid 20 bucks (after refusing over and over to take it) one time at home Depot because the employees were so stupid and a customer recognized my level (explaining premix fuel and a two-stroke engine) of intelligence.

thats like my dream store, thanks for the tour

[@Kaityscichlids]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheFrugalAudiophile]

Awesome video! Back in the day, I owned a lot of the lake Malawi varieties and a couple of the lake Tanginika ones as well. Really makes me want to get back into the hobby!

[@Kaityscichlids]

It's totally worth it!! I'm glad to hear seeing these beautiful fish inspired you :D

[@TheCrazy88tony]

Soooo nice & cool 😎 u guys 🎉 keep up the amazing work!!! Guys 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@morskasvinja2049]

Love that store looks so neat with a amazing stock of fish

[@Kaityscichlids]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you 🙌

[@the88tench3]

Awesome video! Another really good aquatics store, definitely another to add to the list to visit if I ever visit that part of the world! Loads of the species there are the same my friend keeps in his aquarium, like the Yellow Labs, Sulphur Peacock and Demasoni Mbuna, really cool to see them in one of your videos as they're really interesting fish to watch 😀 Were there any species you saw there you'd like to add to your aquariums? Also, went gliding again today and learnt how to stall a glider and recover from a flat stall which was more fun than I expected, especially when you're pulling G forces to recover!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Wow, well done!! You are definitely braver than me lol, that's awesome to hear your gliding is coming along well :) And honestly main the Trewavasae, I'm a sucker for those! But also I really liked the White Lip Mdokas, I think they are lovely haps

[@the88tench3]

@@Kaityscichlids thanks! The flying is going great, will be doing spins at some point which will be interesting for sure 🤣 Hopefully will be solo by early next season! You should definitely give gliding a go, that's something you can do in Australia as a couple of the instructors from where I fly go over for the winter to fly there! Ah nice! Yeah those are really cool species, if I had a cichlid aquarium I'd like a Trewavasae, they look really cool! That's the species your fish called Bart is isn't he? I've never heard of the white lip Mdoka before, they really look unique for sure!

[@Kaityscichlids]

@@the88tench3 that is awesome! 🤣 And close! Bart is a Fuelleborni cichlid, so very very similar

[@the88tench3]

@@Kaityscichlids Ah cool! They're really interesting fish, certainly looks unique for sure and pretty fascinating with how they're adapted to eat algae! They're a bit different to cichlids, but have you ever thought about building an aquarium for any more unusual species like mudskippers or gobies? Those are really cool, and would be a very different kind of fish to build a biotope aquarium for 😀

[@sabdelgadir]

I was there this morning, hanging out with Johnny...Best employees and fish store I've been to

[@Kaityscichlids]

Oh how awesome!! Johnny is great :)

[@AlgaeWhisperer]

I drop by Finatics often .. best fish store I've ever been to.. cheers

[@Kaityscichlids]

That's great to hear!

[@aquarium.talktv]

Great video Kaity!!!! 🎉

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you Gordon 😁😁

[@Yelsin_Salazar]

Wow, I've never seen such a variety of African Cichlids in one place and hadn't seen some of them before. It's like music to the eyes for African cichlid fans. Thank you for the great video, you're close to your 100k subs goal. Keep it up and have a nice week🙌!!!

[@Kaityscichlids]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! And thank you so much for the support, we are slowly getting there :D

[@johnwoodall3791]

That's a Pretty Awesome Place Kaity. Hope you're enjoying your time And it looks as though you are indeed doing that. I have only just got my tank to the point where the water is very clear, Probably the best I have ever seen it since I got up and running again. Most of the information I got from your channel. Take Care. With Respect John

[@T-Rexed]

Loving the tours! Next time you're in England holla 👌🏽

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you 😁🙏🏼🙏🏼

​@Kaityscichlids Haha love the Shiny Pokemon reference too 🤓

[@dtrini2dbone1]

Beautiful variety of fishes. Minor correction to the store location: Mississauga is its own city in Ontario and Toronto is its own city.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you!!

[@beardedmotu2007]

Frontosa Burundi … Black widow are Boss level … Raphael Cats are awesome when they are not hidden 🔜💥™️🏴‍☠️👑

[@max.0328]

Hi kaity That is a Massive store indeed!😯 Our lfs has many ac too and a lot of them are also full grown,but they don't have such a large variety of species like that.( It's a tiny store) Maybe next time you should bring a pair of those seventies plateau shoes with fish tanks for soles,then you can take some of those fish home with you.😄 Another great video with a Nice Marilyn Monroe moment at the end!😁👍

[@Kaityscichlids]

Hahahaha, that would be perfect!! That sounds like an extremely practical fashion item to have lol

[@jasonreding6453]

Great video as always - definitely an impressive store for those in the GTA When was the video taken? I was thinking of placing another order from them and wondered if this was roughly current stock. All the best

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you!! This was taken around the end of June, so a few months back. They did say there were actually down on stock on the day we videoed too, so I'd say they would normally have quite a lot :)

[@quoctho2105]

What is that smoother gray rock in the tanks starting at 3:00?!? If there’s a name for them😮😮😮

[@dirtyoldfarmhand3]

Awesome. Thanks for the video.

[@75keg75]

14:24 we used to call them squeakers. If they are the same fish as the ones we saw in Lake Tanganyika on the 80s they have spikes that mess you up!!

[@FishTankFrank13]

Some amazing AFC , Cool Video!!!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you :D

[@ralfpilz5960]

Great video. Love this store.

[@Kaityscichlids]

That's awesome to hear! And thank you

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

Allways being a “Southamerican” guy myself - except a single Neolamprogus multifascistus aquarium - but it’s not going to stop me to see what’s from the big lakes. You can allways learn something new. Btw, the import, sale and possession of Glo-fish is not permitted within the European Union.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Wow, interesting - that's good to know!

[@SergioBernardoAlmi]

Amazing store thank you K

Good morning from Brazil🇧🇷😊

[@Kaityscichlids]

Good morning 🌞😁😁

[@wantsome-zs5sq]

What light are they using at 24:34 anyone know?

[@cding2172]

Kaity, you need to add some cuckoo catfish to your tank. There are a great addition to any African cichlid tank.

[@Nettixxx]

She already has 3 bristlenoses so it might overstock the tank

[@Kaityscichlids]

That would be pretty cool, they are fascinating little guys :)

[@Nevoexpo]

I must have missed it but did they not have Discus?

[@Kaityscichlids]

They do!! I didn't show them in this video though, but they had a lovely selection of them near the front :)

[@Mkesty]

nice tanks but saw alot of sunken belley, number one thing that drives me nuts with buying africans

[@MissChelle]

I didn’t know there were so many varieties. How do you choose? Kaity I would love to know why, back in the beginning of your tanks, did you choose cichlids? ❤️🇦🇺

[@Kaityscichlids]

Yes, so many!! I chose them because I like the colours of them, but African Cichlids are quite hardy/easy to keep, and have interesting personalities. I find they're the best of all worlds :) If you go back in my videos, I have a video on why I keep them too that you might like

[@monsterfishfreak]

when you ever come too holland let me know holland has a frontosa are african cichlids breeding facility and also europes largest breeding facility in stingrays is located over here

[@Kaityscichlids]

Oooo, that is awesome to know!! That would be so cool to see. Do you know the name of it?

[@ibisrox1]

I had abour 45 species of tanganykans including the forst wild caught batch of enantopius melanogenus that all died when the tank drained soni sold them all but the tropheus and the cyprochromis i had sold for a fortune after the ruwandan war i had 7 band frontosa and the blue frontosas that were just released an s then dissapeared my fave is the Goby Tanganacodus

[@karattkensair9891]

2 hours from where i live but well worth it.

[@Kaityscichlids]

For sure! I'd drive 2 hours to visit here too :)
