Buying COLOURFUL FISH for my NEW AQUARIUM!

I'm currently setting up my Lake Tanganyikan peninsula tank, and I'm on a mission to make it as colourful as possible! As you may know, the Tanganyikan fish are not quite as colourful as the Malawi African Cichlids, so it's a little bit more of a challenge. But I love colourful fish and want to see how many colours I can get in there :D
In this video we head to Atlas Aquarium in Brisbane, Australia, to find some fish we can add in.

[@realj7513]

you're tearing down the river tank? nooooooo Jason did such an amazing job on that river scape such a good looking natural tank😢

[@Kaityscichlids]

I know 😭😭 and I'll be forever grateful! I used many of the techniques he taught me for redoing the tank. I love the new set up though and felt it was time for a change 😁 Hopefully you will like it too!

[@MrEvilmitch]

I just lost my yellow tail acei 😩 he jumped out

[@PULAG]

Marina whats your secret to happiness? Youre bursting with laughter and joy, and i can see ots genuine.

[@johncochrane1301]

Poor Jason!!! Can't wait for the video of the rebuild and reasoning for the change!! Are you keeping the new set-up on the Sump/ did you have to make any changes to the Sump for the new fish?

[@Kaityscichlids]

It'll be on the sump still!! But I just uploaded a bunch of crushed coral to it to help buffer to pH 😊

[@greggrover8247]

Jason did such an amazing job on your river tank .... All his hard work for you gone

[@Kaityscichlids]

He did, and I'm forever grateful for his amazing work! To make the change was a very well thought out decision over many months. But I'm glad I got to enjoy the river tank while I did and am looking forward to the new beginnings, and I hope others will enjoy it too 😊

[@michaelhagan9678]

So exciting, can't wait for the Tanganyika tank updates. What a Fun episode.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you Michael!! 😁 Not long now!

[@bobtaylor7197]

River tank is fascinating...yes😊

[@thefishofsnout9969]

Always watching nice content as always..

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you!! 😊🙏 I appreciate the support

[@ELmerC-ms4cg]

River tank is awesome 🎉 thx ❤

[@jedeo299]

Looking forward to the new tank! The river tank was pretty but I know it’s even more fun to start a new project!

[@Kaityscichlids]

It sure is 😁😁

[@mannythegardener3132]

Amazing beautiful looking Cichlids! great tank setups your scaping is incredible!!!!

[@brakin5498]

Such beautiful fishes like their owner❤❤❤

[@yahyafoudali]

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Coooool

[@andreadoria2060]

I loved the river tank. 😢

[@Kaityscichlids]

I know 😭😭 It's sad to see it go but I think it was time for a change!

Gud amezing fish

[@Nathanandthegang]

I got my flowerhorn from there ❤️

[@savis8067]

Why did you take down the river tank?

[@Kaityscichlids]

I LOVED it but I never ended up enjoying the rainbow fish as much as I thought, so I decided I wanted to try Tanganyikan cichlids. It's been a well thought out/long decision that I've been sharing on Instagram mostly, but it is probably more of a surprise to most of my audience on KZbin 😊

[@nc3048]

Recently found your channel and have been binging it over the past week or so. Love your videos and looking forward to all your future content!!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you SO much!! That is so awesome to hear 😊 I really appreciate it 🙏

[@damor4878]

Your new yellow tail Tanzanian acei will get big trust me! I had 3 of them. Couldn't find them for about 3yrs? Now they seem to be everywhere. Ive got 2 white tails that are about 15cm long as well. My yellows eventually died from age.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Oh I would love to get some white tail ones!! I love the Aceis, I think they are super cute. They are nice chunky guys 😊

[@josepatio5272]

You should definitely set up a fancy goldfish tank with each variety

[@Abilly1r]

We didn’t get any yarns from Finn! Haha. Good stuff

[@Kaityscichlids]

😂😂😂 Yes he stood back for this video!!

[@dwaynewalton3299]

My favorite fish lady.

[@griffinballfish]

I love this casual style of video you do Katie.

[@MakoyUnggoy]

Those tropheus are gonna be show stoppers when fully grown, just be very careful of their diet though, tropheus can go downhill very quickly. As for the yellow fin acei, I have 11 now with my other mbuna's and I think it's time to stop now haha!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Hahaha, that's so funny you have so many of the yellow fin Aceis!! 🤣 I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks they're adorable. And I really hope the Tropheus will go well! I'm feeding them Thera A and bug bites at the moment and all good so far. Hopefully they'll stay nice and healthy 🙌

[@brianp6180]

Love the new tank Kaity! Can’t wait to see fish color up.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much Brian 😁

[@roomofcybertron6380]

Hello Kaity from Canada, I enjoyed watching your videos including this one, and I'm looking forward on your next video about your new tank set up and new fishes. It's going to turn out great!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much 😁🙏🙏 I really appreciate it! Not long now 😊

[@mrcarl5481]

Love the new cichlids and the peek at the new setup 😊 very exciting! All go in my fish room, got 21 baby electric yellows and 31 baby bristlenose in the last week 😮😍

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you Carl!! Electric Yellows are the best, I love those little guys 😊🐟

[@noelmangion6316]

The new tank is coming along nicely Kaity can’t wait for the next one to come out 😊

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you 😁🙏 I'm looking forward to sharing it!!

[@redcgr13]

Hello Kati's, greetings from a fish content creator from Indonesia, success is always for you

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🙏 Greetings from Australia!!

[@26Tackle.reviews]

Girl power 👊🤟 good video! going to be cool seeing those get bigger and more colourful

[@Kaityscichlids]

🎉🎉 I can't wait 😁

[@Yelsin_Salazar]

Hi Kaity, I enjoyed the video, the tanganika fishes are gorgeous especially the canary yellow one. I can't wait to see the new setup. I'm sure it'll be amazing and interesting to see especially the process. Greetings and thank you for being so incredible😊!!!!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much Yelsin!! 😁 I appreciate it 🙏

[@florentincioaba7989]

Bravo from Romania Dracula land 🎉❤

[@tommybunk2292]

Very nice Kaity !!! Ventralis & Furcifers are so hard to find in my area...such a nice fish. I had a bad experience mixing Tropheus with other Tangy's but we'll see. You have a really nice selection, you just need a Frontosa to top it off.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you Tommy!! They are such beautiful fish 😍 Yes we'll have to see. I've got my fingers crossed they'll do ok because I love the Tropheus so much 🤞

[@krisbobi1238]

Dzień dobry, kolejny super filmik ,u nas w Polsce w sklepach zoologicznych nawet polowy takich ryb nie ma ,super te odcinki pani pokazuje

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you 😊🙏🙏

[@Fyreblade2000]

Hi Kaity, very entertaining Vlog, you ladies are funny!! thanks for sharing :)

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much!! 😊🙏

[@IronTiger84]

LFS videos are my favorite! Love seeing how different stores are set up and seeing new types of fish. I also appreciate when stores have display tanks and not just holding tanks! Great video‼️

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you Joey!! I love making these LFS videos too. It's lots of fun 😁

[@rezalrahim5258]

So where are your rainbows now ? In a third but smaller tank somewhere?

[@Kaityscichlids]

Yes that's right! They're in my quarantine tank in the garage, but I'll be giving them away soon 😊

[@adso5555555]

Ooh I bought some fish from Atlas a few hours ago, looking forward to seeing the new tank setup!

[@Kaityscichlids]

That's so cool!! 🤣 They're such a great store

[@cking8776]

🥰👍

[@Kaityscichlids]

🙏🙏

[@MiGatoNoMeHabla]

Hello, Kaity from Spain. I love Tanganyika cichlids. Looking forward to seeing more of Tanganyika

[@Kaityscichlids]

Hello!! That's so cool you're watching all the way from Spain 😄 Thank you! I look forward to sharing more of the tank 🐟💕

[@MiGatoNoMeHabla]

Thank you, yes, I hope to see those inhabitants of Tanganyika evolve and go. I have a little Tanganyika. I seem to remember that you are from Australia so I see you from the other side of the world 😃, on the shores of the Mediterranean. Thank you very much for your videos, you are great. 😊

[@keruma1992]

Hi! How big will your Tanganyikan Cichlids grow? :)

[@ELmerC-ms4cg]

Will you consider salt water I think you would be great at it ?

[@Kaityscichlids]

I've kept some small ones a couple of times before but never got too into it. I think if I did it would be fish only and no corals. Maybe one day 🤔

[@ELmerC-ms4cg]

@@Kaityscichlids wow thx for the reply

[@gaidin]

Wish I lived near Atlas....what an amazing LFS to have. Im not interested in African cichlids at all, but look forward to watching your tank build out :)

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much 😊🙏 That's awesome to hear. I'm looking forward to sharing it!

[@75keg75]

What do you think about shubunkin? The middle fish between koi and goldfish. I had 14 in a 1500L pond and they are so cool moving up and down the steam and pond sections…

[@Kaityscichlids]

I love them! I think they are really cute fish

[@BurzumBelus]

My dream Malawi aquarium. Everything is great. Thank you Kaity.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you 🙏

[@piromanrs]

African cichlids come from many lakes and rivers in Africa.

[@Kaityscichlids]

These guys are the rift lake African Cichlids! They're only endemic to the 3 lakes in Africa

[@piromanrs]

2:56 and there are much more rift lakes in Africa with cichlids en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rift_Valley_lakes

[@peterwhiteford8827]

Kaity ,Do not feed tropheus floating pellets ,they will bloat

[@Kaityscichlids]

I've been giving them the New Life Spectrum ones and sinking most of them for them and they've been ok so far thankfully! I will definitely be careful though and keep an eye out for it. Thank you 🙏

[@sirwilliam7988]

I was so hoping you would grap a fw of the Frontosa's. They are my favorite. But, your new additions will work just fine as they grow. I think it's time for a 10' tank. 🤩🤩

[@Kaityscichlids]

Oh I would love that one day 🤣 I'm definitely going to need to upgrade when I get my own place 😁

[@MatsJ-tb1sp]

Hello Kaity! Such a funny, happy, nice video! Lovely fish and a great aquafishstore! But dont you need - at least - two more fishtanks?!? Thank you, have a nice day/Mats in Sweden

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you Mats!! Hahaha, I think you're right 🤣 You can never have enough tanks lol. Maybe when I get my own place I will get some more

[@elliotbradshaw4739]

Hey Kaity, the Atlas aquarium is incredible, can you confirm if that big fern has its roots in the water? Cheers 👌

[@Kaityscichlids]

Hey Elliot! I'm 99% sure it does, but maybe Finn or Marina can answer that for certain 🤔

[@observingfrank8435]

Youngsters, nice to watch a new episode of "Aquatics - The next generation". It's really nice that the hobby goes to such good hands.

[@Kaityscichlids]

🙏🙏🙏

[@adamk4662]

you dont quarantine new fish?

[@Kaityscichlids]

It depends! I have a quarantine tank, but my rainbow fish are in there at the moment. So in this case because the fish had been in Atlas and healthy for a few weeks I took the risk. But it's generally recommended to quarantine them first just in case

[@75keg75]

Chicks do 69 jokes too!!! Love it 🤣

[@Kaityscichlids]

😂😂

[@evilone543]

You all looked like you were have way too much fun at the fish store.

[@Kaityscichlids]

It was definitely WAY too much fun 🤣

[@DjPosey3]

beautiful tank! did you ever consider adding brichardi and or sunspot brevis to the tank by chance ? those are 2 beautiful tanganyikas as well

[@Ricovette]

Thoroughly enjoyed this upload...🌹❤🌹 Thumbs up and a sub from me baby girl... Stay safe... Rico (USA)

[@markzig1429]

Please ask Marina if she will marry me! :D

[@stg77777]

This tank is too overcrowded !!!😮

[@Dillonpickle]

Already ? I bet old mate is rapt all that time he gave to do it is getting wasted now

[@Kaityscichlids]

I would hope not, because I don't see it as a waste at all! I learnt SO much from it and had so many amazing experiences from my journey with that tank. But for me it's time for a change and I'm really excited for it!
