Great tour of predatory fins. Rod and Kevin have such a diverse selection of Fish and Kevin really knows his stuff when it comes to rays. glad you were able to handpick the Ray you were looking for.

I'm a MOD for PF channel and it is amazing to see other streams of this facility. I have 2 of Kevin's rays and I love them. Thank you for an awesome video. Enjoy your Ray!!

[@CichlidBros]

That’s awesome! It was great to check out the facility and learn from Rod and Kevin. They’re great dudes!

[@kimgaither6965]

@@CichlidBros I must admit that I do buy most of my fish from PF. They are great to work with. I see another stingray in your future.

[@richardgiacomotti404]

👍👍👍

[@dustywillys2595]

I still think you need more swimming room for the ray, take out some of the rocks and centralise the wood from my experience mate

[@sandyloyst1811]

Hey, did Kevin tell you how much the big white one costs??? He won't tell anyone, Paul tried. lol Troy your new baby is just right. I cannot wait for the unveiling. Peace.

[@CichlidBros]

Haha, he didn’t tell me either. Thanks for watching!

What kind of small fish were you feeding those monster fishes towards the end?

[@CichlidBros]

Frozen gobies

@@CichlidBros Where do you buy them? never bought this type of food for my silver/albinos always doing tilapia and raw shrimp mostly

4th!, why didnt u get the flagtail prochilodus along with the stingray

[@CichlidBros]

I will get one probably, but focusing on the Ray first

[@007mmorales]

How much is the Stingray? Looking forward seeing him in the tank

[@CichlidBros]

This one is around $700 on the site

Where can I buy that awesome shirt . I love it

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks! I got it last year when running the NYC marathon. I raised money for Imerman Angels, and they sent me the shirt!

[@brettliddell9195]

Meatier food = more ammonia produced by the fish had a friend give his brother a big pleco that was kept in a tank with other fish and shrimp the shrimp population dwindled down really quickly and eventually my friends brother gave the pleco back my friend put it in his 300 gallon cichlid tank turns out the pleco was definitely the cause of the loss in the other tank it was in and only a day or two of having the pleco in the tank all of his cichlids were dead tested the water and the ammonia was crazy high and the only change was having the pleco in the tank

[@charlesdavis2891]

Some Paul guy wants to make sure you don't feed them holding the bait in your mouth

[@Robconley247]

get some puffer fish

[@CichlidBros]

One day

[@Pokeshark91]

First

[@nutellagnuen]

I my aquariums I must have plants, places to hide, low stress, correct lighting etc. etc. Or so I am told. But all pro fish keepers all of them just have these naked tubs that all of them are overstocked. Are these fish just here for the night or whats the deal?

[@CichlidBros]

It’s a fish store…

[@nutellagnuen]

@@CichlidBros Sure but that fish not sold for 6 months is just OK dying from stress?

[@CichlidBros]

@@nutellagnuen they also rescue a majority of these big fish and rehome them, send them to public aquariums, etc. maybe do some research before saying something negative?

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

Didn't even quarantine the ray, dude just gonna put it right in the tank and jeopardize all those fishes lives for a video. This is why I do not take advice from people that do this on youtube. More worried about putting out a video than actually caring about the lives he is risking.

[@CichlidBros]

He’s quite literally in a 180g quarantine/holding tank. But thanks for watching! Maybe try to understand the videos before commenting next time?

[@CarlosAlberto-ii1li]

You waited all your life for clickbait thumbnail fish??????????, are you OK.

[@CichlidBros]

Clickbait thumbnail? What about this wasn’t in the video? 🤡
