Black nasty, Haitiensis and Umbee cichlid.

A quick look at the Black nasty Haitiensis and there fry, also a look at my big old Umbee and his off springs grow out tank.

[@Cichlid_4_ever]

I could watch your fish forever. My flowerhorns getting a big head n him and he’s getting so mean. I love it.

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Flowerhorns mean fish for sure. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir

I wish I could get some fries. Nice to have an update.

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

I'd gladly let you have some if it was possible. Thanks for your continued support. Happy fishkeeping to you sir

[@jtfalkner]

I can't wait until I can afford a big tank. Biggest I keep is a stunning Herichthys Carpintis.

Great Video Andy! You are the “super hero”. I need to grow some Haitiensis . Joe isn’t into the rough love anymore. Big boy. Cheers

Hi Andy, you had all my dream cichlids they are very lovely. I love dovii, umbee, black nasty, jaguar, red tiger mota, beani and so forth. I wish to have the same cichlids as yours soon. ❤️

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Good luck with it, American cichlids are just awesome. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir

[@mr.jessescichlids]

Love those Haitiensis. I breed their cousins (Nandopsis Tetracanthus " Cuban Cichlid") no issue with the bloat but they are some of the meanest little jerk's I ever bred. Thanks for sharing Mate....

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Nice fish the Tetracanthus, never kept any myself, may be some time in the future I will. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir

[@amx1820]

Nice update, Sir. You have to keep a massive umbee, your channel ain't complete without dovii, umbee & nasty:))

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Think your probably right. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir

[@balakesfishroom7651]

You are the superhero mate! Have you ever thought of keeping Maskaheros Argenteus? They're tough to pair up in my opinion.

[@f.u.1190]

Nice picies guys

[@adeelbashir3221]

Hi Andy great video as Per usual I was thinking why don’t you do a video about how you do water change in your shed it will make a good video keep go great video again

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

May be one day, it's pretty basic, nothing fancy. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir.

[@brucecroft9262]

Hi Andy your videos are never too long and boring you just gave me an idea I have a breeding pair of jaguars and can never seem to get the fry Beyond two weeks next time they breed I'm going to scoop some out and put them in a 10-gallon and see if that makes a difference.. after about 2 weeks they all just start dropping and all thousand of them just died I can't figure it out, thanks for your help stay fishy

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Worth a try. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir

[@shahnazahmed6789]

Great video Andy, where do U get that big pipes from in your big tanks, are they clay chimney pots?

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Yes they are clay. I found them in a salvage yard, there very old and perfect for the larger cichlids. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir

[@pete8ballpool2]

Is that a F-0 Umbee? I am looking for one right now!

[@GoncaloMaEiras]

I love this videos Andy you are the best KZbinr a video per week is not enough 😭😭😭. Could you show the tomocichla in a future video ???

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

I'll try to remember the tomacichla. Thank you for your support taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir

[@derrin75]

You inspired me to get Some Umbees. So I purchased 5 juvies. Ranging from 2 in - 3 in. I feel the 3 incher is a male cause he's the biggest, prettiest and most aggressive. What do you think as a breeder?

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Could possibly be a male, but it's not a definite. Female tend to be shorter and thicker than the longer simmer male. They should pair up and show colours by 6 inch. Provide loads of hiding places or you could end up with the killing one another. Good luck with it, I've got my fingers crossed for you. Happy fishkeeping to you sir.

[@wardleybear5291]

Hi andy do you ever sell your dovii fry once they've come on abit? Wanting to get a dovii in the next year and would love to get one of Wolfe's young Cheers

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

I occasionally grow some on. I'm concentrating more on the red morph Dovii lately. Thanks for your support taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir

[@jackgutz]

May we know what size tanks you keep your fish in?

[@soniaantua9543]

We had so many monster haitiensis in the 70s their aggression made them so easy to harpoon..sadly they are are rare sight nowadays 😔 tilapia plecos walking catfish have taken over our waterways..I might try to reintroduce them💪🇩🇴

[@mhplayer1330]

Hey Andy my fish spawned for the first time and I don't know what to do with the fry I cant really keep them once they get bigger any tips?

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

The parents will probably eat them eventually. Sometimes if the parents don't eat them the fry can become a problem feeding of the parents slimecoat and skin. This would be the time to remove them for the parents well being. Happy fishkeeping to you sir

[@SynergizeMeCapn]

Minimum tank size for a breeding pair in your honest opinion?

[@gunnerfromdownunder4655]

Hey Andy any help I have had 3 spawns pulled from my pair of nasties. Got 1st batch of 60 to 4cm then over a month I lost them all same for next batch and the next. They are in 6ft grow out tanks together. I’m not set up to have multiple little grow out tanks.. I’m about to give up on this to much heart ache they are on eggs again now looking for any other options as I’m all out of ideas

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Sounds exactly like my early experience with raising Haitiensis fry. I'm sorry I have no tip, only all the regular tips you read on line, which none worked for me. The only way I could successfully raise fry in the early day was in individual small tanks. I wish you the best of luck with your latest spawning. Happy fishkeeping to you sir.

[@gunnerfromdownunder4655]

Thanks for the reply.. I might divide the tank and do some in their own space and see if I have success

[@kellyliggans8939]

Where can I find a black nasty I look all over on line

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Depends on we're you live. Some countries there easier to find than others. Easy to find here in UK

[@awakenedanarchism4202]

I feed my black nasties a bait ball, i smash bug bites and frozen peas into talapia, I have never had any problems with bloat,

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

That sounds a good healthy balance diet. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir
