Hi Troy ,Happy Thanksgiving to you, your fish tanks are looking amazing and I love the feeling video you have such a high passion for fish like I do ,and that blue acara tank is amazing I recently picked up five small electric blue acara that I'm going to grow up and hopefully breed I just love the look of that blue acara species tank you have so cool looking

Hi loving your videos can i ask which substrate you have in the 180 gallon tank as it looks so nice and golden i would like to put the same in my 100 gallon cichlid set up

[@TaftAquatics]

I started using Xtreme, my convicts love it. I just started using Ultra Fresh yesterday, my Oscar is loving it. Have you ever used Ultra Fresh, if so what did you think?

Great video as always guy. I hear you about the overfeeding, but I have a question. How do I make sure my smaller fish in the tank get food if I'm only putting in small amounts? No, I don't want to overfeed but I don't want just the big guys eating everything either?

[@7Makowski7]

Great video - always enjoy your content. One question to satisfy my curiosity: you mentioned you often skip a day of feeding so that they can digest and clean out their systems - do you change this day each week or is that a constant, such as every Saturday?

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks for watching! I usually just do it by feel. Not a set day. If they don’t have a skip day, or if they have 2 in a week, it’ll be just fine

Troy, Awesome bro. This is cool to see. I also feed a variety of food. I feed extreme peewee in my 55 gal community planted tank. And I also feed omega one community flake. I mix in occasional hikari red looking worm type of food and the fish love those I heard the discus love them. I Mike in the occasional freeze dried blood worms, tubliflex and mysis shrimp. They are spoiled lol. My 98 gal CA tank gets extreme big fella 3 mm pellets and cichlid flakes from omega one. And I occasionally switch to bug bites the red and green kind to give my two Severums some plant type of food. I also have a mix I am trying of omega one cichlid food, north fin, and hikari that I substitute since extreme food is kind of pricey. In my 20 gal long planted tank it is strictly nano pellets from extreme and omega one community flakes. ❤

Hii, can u tell me what light you use in your aqua? Pleaseee.. Tanks from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@nandakumarsubash]

Could you suggest, some other brands for those living in countries like India? We can't get Xtreme and North fin brands. BTW, I am feeding Fluval and New Life Spectrum for my African and American Cichlids.

[@Waterloo.cichlids]

How many heaters do you have in your 75 gallon aquarium

[@CichlidBros]

One at the moment

[@Waterloo.cichlids]

@CichlidBros is a fluval 300 watt good enough for my 75 cichlid aquarium

[@blakemcclurkin4842]

Do you feed your Oscar the 3mm pellet or 9mm pellet?

[@barryjcarter86]

Can you tell me what kind of fish are in this tank?

[@tanuguitar1]

What plants are you putting into the tanks? My Oscars and Severum seem to uproot everything. Any advice?

[@Mid-Americabulldogs]

Do you ever pre soak your food in tank water or supplements ?

[@CichlidBros]

Nope

[@Enjoylife-2000]

Which tank are the Red Head Geos

[@kristianmller7451]

thumbs up.. nice vid

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks!

[@naziffaruque7987]

What to do when you have both big and 'small growing' african chiclids at the same tank? Would you feed twice a day or once per day?
