Black Nasty Cichlid Care - Aggression

I feed all my large cichlids this gourmet mixture food. It’s 8 of the top brands all mixed together in one. Everyone says variation is key and this food is exactly that.
Additional Fish Tank Talk:
Setting up a 55 gallon fish tank tommarow. Im making a list of things im going to be needing/wanting to get for it. I wanted to know a FULL LIST of ONLY the most important chemicals and testing kit i will need to start up a healthy tank. Its been a minute since ive set a tank up and i want all the most used and important chemicals and test kit. Also id like to put 1 bigger fish in my 55 LATER ON and was wondering whats 1 big fish i can put in my 55 that will live in it alone happily.
My tank contains 3 ropes, 10 emerald cory, 6 denison barbs, 2 african climbing perch, 12 african 3 stripe catfish, 2 sturisoma, 1 kribensis, 13 congo tetra. All get on fine. Avoid plecs and otocinclus as they can develop a taste for the ropes mucus membrane.
Black nasty Cichlid aquarium care.
Mine lives with a birchir, common Pleco, black ghost knife fish, electric blue acara, red hump cichlid, a geo ( not entirely sure which type) 2 tin foil barbs, Jack Dempsey, gouramis. Is a fx6, 2 aquaclear 110s, and 2 sponges too much water movement for a 125 housing American cichlids? I know there’s no such thing as too much filtration, but worried about the turnover rate and water movement being too much. I’m at a toss up between getting an fx4 or an fx6.
Cory’s and kuhlis? Can they be kept together? I really had my heart set on keeping a small group of each in my 29 gal planted tank but I’ve read that the Cory’s can our compete the kuhlis for food and they don’t make a good pair together. Should I choose one? Or am I being over paranoid? Lol the tank has plenty of plants and hiding spots but I’m interested to see what you guys say.
I have both in two of my tanks, I don't think I have a problem, they all seem to get on with each other and feed okay too. They get along just fine. I have black kuhli, banded kuhli, emerald cory and peppered cory in the same tank. Ive never heard of or had any problems keeping them together.
Awesome, that’s what I had heard but then I seen someone talking about the Cory’s being to boisterous for the kuhlis, If I can keep both that’s what j would like to do. Pretty sure my kuhli has been picking off my neon tetras. From 20 tetras 2months ago, I only have 2 or 3 left. So frustrating, I hope it works out for you!

[@CrazyguyRC]

I had one of these and he never stopped wanting to fight the other fish. Meanest fish ever ! !

[@warrendavies1592]

Andy woods has some of the best fish got some really nice black nastys

[@bobbuilder9813]

I have that big 14 inch male he had he will mention me in his next video Brandon lol

[@131Tysean]

Hey Warren email me man . [e-mail] I'm looking to purchase some

[@TMAquatics]

Don’t see these very often. There are times I wish I had a few monster size tanks for fish like these. I’d definitely try this one. Oh well, back to my plecos 😉👍

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Beautiful fish man! Hope you and your family feel better soon!

[@jonsaladin]

Amazing I’ve dabbled in many aspects of the fish keeping hobby I’m hooked on rare monster hybrid fish losing any of my fish is a complete downer she did an amazing job with her exclusive pair just keep your head up and continue your fantastic job.

[@mattsmonsterfish1615]

What’s up bro 🤙 sick fish!!

[@harrisonhanson2998]

Some of these fish would be great IF most of us had the kind of space that some of these require bc these aggressive huge centerpiece fish take a up an entire tank all on their own. That’s a GORGEOUS pair tho, to be seeing the difference in size & coloring is amazing. I’ve never even heard of these fish I don’t think. They seem to be selling quite cheaply on eBay, & it looks like a male. Yea, I’m constantly finding new cichlids also & while it can be a heartbreaking hobby mainly bc in 1 word; DISCUS! It’s still a fun hobby for me & the good is still far outweighing the bad.

[@themancmt]

I used to breed them in late 2000s. I have a video on here. Nowhere near as aggressive as a dovii or umbee. Dovii have big freaking teeth. Still 1 of my favorites.

[@drip_got_kickz]

Must’ve bin a Cuban cichlid that you kept because this breed has same teeth as dovii and are known to be meaner than them my black nasty would destroy my dovii even if he was fully grown

[@tracemiller1519]

I have 4 black nasties atm and 3 of the 4 are completely chill and keep it mostly calm but this (second biggest one) is an absolute psycho path and so aggressive I have to change something

[@anthonyjohnson2744]

Thanks for your insight on the Black Nasty . Do you know where I can get some from

[@manuelbolt9945]

They are BEAUTIFUL!!! very good video...

[@coreygendron3766]

I see them now and then in pet stores here in Michigan

[@markkrok5071]

Hey Palmer you familiar with Guatope Mel on here? Hes a excellent keeper of Cichlids one of the 1st he has a couple 600 gallons and a 1000 gallon best set ups i seen

[@waterpuppyaquatics7864]

I have a beautiful young trio of these guys

[@michaelsnyder3577]

Awesome video! I cannot decide which fish to house in my 110g. I have it narrowed down to a Butti or Black nasty. I love fish with personality and huge mouths. Lol. Which do you think is overall the better wet pet? Thanks!

[@IslamicSunnahGuidance]

Keep black nasty cichlids, they do have so much personality and they are predators that have huge mouthes, they are really cool fish, i am keeping them in my aquariums, but they are extremly aggressive, they are like a parachrmis dovii, my black nastys teeth are very sharp, so they can kill other fish if they bite them !!

[@michiganaquatics2394]

Wow they look sweet cool vid keep it up

[@bmoreoutdoors4684]

Never saw these guys before. There amazing!!! I want some 🤗

[@VanChandama]

Awesome video

[@Aquariumswithty]

They both look awesome! I’m sorry she lost her male

[@lightbright8454]

I lost my Dovii only 15 inches but my boy was meann... Biggest my Black Nasty got one 5 inches cool fish...

[@awakenedanarchism4202]

a fish store in Daytona beach has them

[@AngelosFishTanks]

Oh wow these are cool looking

[@sondercichlidaquariums4951]

They're great fish but the only thing is genetics. The last wild caught pair were in 2003 I think it was , same with Cubans, their catch locations are amongst the most dangerous in the world. Linzies male came from Andy woods, literally all the one in the uk are related to andys fish. They've started importing them from Germany but with no wild caught they become far far removed from how they should be. I always try to get f0 fish but had to settle for f2 Cubans . When some new blood comes in for the odos I'll be grabbing ten.

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

I believe the female came from me, but not the male. My males have black faces without the knuckle hump. That male was from Rob.

[@sondercichlidaquariums4951]

Andy Woods I believe from what I've researched there's literally only a couple bloodlines available, yours and a couple others.The female looks like yours , I'm sure this wasn't her big male, I'm sure she had a XL male odo? I think my pair may have originally come from linzie from what I can find out. I was told by someone in the business that the fish imported from Germany and the Czech Republic sold as odos are a Haitiensis X tetracanthus hybrids. There's a video of linzies of her juveniles and there is the most perfect small male amongst them I've seen in ages already with a nuchal hump. I'd give £250 for that male lol. If you have any small odos let me know please pal, don't really want odo from Europe that may not even turn out to be full odo

[@carloss3809]

Loosing your big boss is hard!!

[@58MrMike]

I have raised many pairs and currently have two breeding pairs. They have been very easy to keep and no more aggressive than others. I have kept them as low as 70 degrees but they seem to like 78-80. Where can I send you a video to?

[@mitchellwillis5475]

Post a video I would love to see them..

[@aquariumhacksbymarcus5653]

Hard to say if this fish will be more aggressive than the dovi I believe it is closely related to it but of course it could not defeat a full-grown almost 30 inch dovi around the same size who knows it's possible

[@VoxGav-bd9rc]

markie mark If they were both 12 inches, it would be closer than most people think. But yes, if a Dovii was fully grown it wouldn’t be fair at that point.

[@davidbowman2501]

Personally don't think the male looks that great, but the female with mostly black looks really sweet.

[@warrendavies1592]

Just bought a tigrinus catfish looks like the tiger shovel nose but only grows 24 inches so perfect 😁

[@jasonrolling9347]

I own a female and male Cuban. Im trying to pair them. They are still small. 3.25 inch male n a 2.75 in female. Shes in a growout tank. I tried them and he chaced her down. When they get bigger ill be posting videos

[@bearskifitness6939]

Damn That’s crushing, tell Lindsey to keep on... you should try crushed garlic clove and raw honey together right before bed... 💪🏻👍🏻

[@bobbuilder9813]

I’ve got 3 of these 3 inch pair and 14 inch male

[@GoBrand0n]

Selling any?

[@bobbuilder9813]

Chris P. Bacon no mate sorry there already sold and I’ve moved into black Piranha much more aggressive

[@lukeevans6648]

Got them in the UK £7 each 4inchs long

[@anthonyrobertson2991]

Wow sweet looking fish,sad the male died.Great vid thanks

[@domoniquewilliams9728]

Hi Palmer, can you put me in contact with your friend. i am looking for a pair of these for myself.

[@briansfishtanks]

Great video! I’ve got a really sweet pair did breed like regularly for me. Check out one of my first room tour videos if you’d like to check them out. I saw from one of your other videos that you live in Minnesota. I’m also in Minnesota. Stumbled upon your channel from Cory’s giveaway. I’ll have to go check out more of your vids.

[@bentuininga2880]

Where can you buy Linsays fry?

[@awakenedanarchism4202]

I have a breeding pair, they spawn every 35 to 50 days

[@gregoryanderson2306]

That's my point you are mistaken size for aggression....and I seen Umbees on plenty of occasions say 50% of the time defeat a dovii....but back to your other point pygocentrus are shoaling piranhas....serrasalmus are not elognatus, humeralis, manueli and rhombus are super aggressive and the last three can get over 20 inches....I been messing with tropical and salt water fish since I was a kid and I'm 50 now and those four species of piranhas devastate any cichlid....and the whole debate was aggression if you can keep fish in with a dovii in an aquarium without incidents and other species not no matter the tank size then they are not the most aggressive fish out there....I had a 600 gallon with several golden Dorado, African tiger, aimara wolf fish armatus, and a red tail cat in the end I had 2 Dorado and the cat left and the Dorado constantly tried to kill each other I also caught and acclimated an 16 inch northern snakehead in a few weeks they destroyed him too yes dovii are large but but trust me there are plenty of fish that will not only chase them around but even kill them!!! And those pirahna species I mentioned research them they are hyper aggressive 3 of he species get over 20 inches and have the hardware to back their aggression and one last thing I love fishing done it all over the world I never heard of nor seen a 30 inch dovii....emperor cichlids, peacock bass some snooks pushing 28 or so....but the largest I ever saw was 20 to 22 inches just like snakeheads look up the world records NONE were 4 foot nor over 30 pounds....dorado get over 50 pounds and are an apex predator in South America cichlids and pirahna are dinner to them and they are born cannibals and aggressive predators from the egg....I enjoy talking with you though my friend good luck and happy fish keeping!!!

[@rikstar.]

Whats max size of theses fish?

[@marblegoby972]

I have a big pair right now.

[@MrPoohbae1000]

Just looked at a one was thinking of getting it large one for 150

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

Little Kuhli loaches eating neons? Never heard of that. I would say you've mixed too many aggressive fish with fish not aggressive or slow eaters. The problem is..fish who are not of the same habits is what makes things fail most of the time. If you had Rope fish with neons...there is where they went!

[@qwertyq4073]

Doviis and Black Nastys are equally aggresive, Doviis are just tougher imo

[@gregoryanderson2306]

@@VoxGav-bd9rc yes I have as long as the fish are of equal size dovii aren't the things out there....look up 5 spot junkie on U tube hit him up as well and see for yourself also look up beani vs dovii you will be surprised

[@gregoryanderson2306]

@@VoxGav-bd9rc and by the way don't think you ever saw a manueli or humeralis piranha known as Silver piranha they will kill ANYTHING you put in the tank and get well over 10 pounds 20 inches they will eradicate a dovii or any other cichlid you put in with them

[@drip_got_kickz]

You must be a dovii owner my black nasty would kill anything in its path trust me any dovii not even full grown could beat a 7-10 inch black nasty and that’s not even fully grown

[@darrenthrower8221]

At the moment some one has them for sale on ebay

[@slickchick5811]

the females always look nicer. Males have a clumsy form. I hear they're prone to bloat very easily. The female in the vid don't look intimidated at all.

[@VoxGav-bd9rc]

SlickChick Not at all. Large males are quite nimble despite some being incredibly beefy.

Do they have teeth?

Thhey are like a red devil in matters of aggresion, p.Dovii is way far ahead in aggresiveness and killing potential. Anyways they are really cool fish tons of personality, they look cranky 24/7 and they are beautiful
