Love the video! Always interested in seeing you wet pets as they grow. It's the honesty I enjoy most about your channel. And the awesome fish!! Keep up with the awesome videos! 🤝🏾🤙🏾

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Thank you Jeremy taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir

[@ottomattix86]

Andy been loving these videos for years. Now bring in some cichlids from Madagascar!

[@jefftougher4593]

G'day Andy. Love your videos. I'm quite jealous of what you can access in Britain. Here in Australia, the quarantine laws are very restrictive. I may be in Britain soon and would like to meet you and talk fish with another genuine, fellow fish fancier. Don't stop waffling Woods. It's what makes you real.

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

I can understand your frustration with your restriction law's. There probably there for good reason. Preventing invasive sp getting into the wild. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir from England.

[@rossdingle6236]

Thanks for posting the part 2 update. I like the way you have the shed set up. Very practical

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

It's done on a tight budget, and quite economical to run. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir

Hey Andy love the videos you make! Keep up the good work we all enjoy your water pets:) But have you ever considered a "Green Terror Cichlid"? Andinoacara rivulatus

Man! Me and my lovely GF, got back into fish from watching your wonderful animals Andy! We've aquired 6 small jaguars and finally got a pair out of the group. laying eggs already and we cant be happier! We watch all your content almost every night, even watching your videos over again :D We appreciate you so much Andy, keep the amazing work with your fish going!! Is there anyway we can send you an email or a personal message somewhere Andy? Best of regards Alex and Nadia!

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Thank you for your support taking the time to watch and comment. I wish you the best of luck with your Jaguar pair. I'm sure they will give you many years of enjoyment. Happy fishkeeping from [e-mail]

[@mattd9205]

HI Andy love to follow your vids. Been keeping some CA's for a minute now, but finally ready to take the dive into Parachromis...it's Guapote time! I was thinking of growing out either some la ceiba multifasiatus or some rtm rio blanco. Which would be an easier start (generally)out of those two?

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

I think there quite similar. They can vary from fish to fish. They all have there own separate characters. Good luck with it. I'm sure you will enjoy keeping a parachromis sp. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir

[@cathyrussell9280]

Loving your channel, would love a dovi but not sure my tank is big enough forever home , all your fish are stunning , love the big Americans , I'm losing my female red terror from lip locking with red head vieja and sadly meds are not working , keep em coming

[@holothuria9568]

Hi Andy. Enjoy the videos. Air-powered sponge filters are not very effective for heavy feeders like cichlids, but I understand why you use them in the fish room. Have you considered using longer uplift tubes, as this would increase the suction power of the filters. This is explained by Boyle's Law.

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

I know it’s two years later but I would recomend the Hamburger Matten Filter paired with the czech airlift tube. Highly effective and reasonable quiet too. Placed on the end and with two airlifts they’re effective enough for a VERY big tank.

[@dannydanny5308]

👌

[@BillsCichlidRoom]

Great video Andy, sorry about the female Asfraci, at least you have some growouts.

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Thanks Bill. There not normally that aggressive. May be it would have been better with dither fish. I'm just pleased i still have some from my first very first spawning. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir.

[@badger3044]

Do you do water changes on all those tanks in that shed, if so how often?

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

I change 50% every other week.

[@GoncaloMaEiras]

Great video as usual. If you sell some asfraci is there a possibility of sending to Portugal ???

Andy don't you use cannister filters at all in any of your tanks

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Not in the fishroon. I have a three in the house. Two on wolfie's tank and one in the jags tank.

[@iplayndirt1125]

Do you only use sponge filters?

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Only sponge filters in the fishroon. I use other filters on tanks in the house.

[@iplayndirt1125]

@@andywoodscichlids2942 I had sponge filters in all of them and hang on backs on half with activated carbon. Do you have to do more water changes on your tanks with just sponge filters than the others? If I don’t do more frequent water changes on those they start to smell because they don’t have the carbon filtration. Could I possibly be doing something wrong with them? My ten year older son really became interested in fish keeping so we started to add a couple of tanks to support his interest so I’m trying to learn as much as I can about multiple different setups so I can teach him and also to help him learn how to research and find the information needed. We just found your channel so we haven’t be able to watch all your videos yet but we really enjoy what you do. You can tell you really enjoy what you do. Please keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍

will not show best colour if breeding those fry back to the dad mate! better get new bloodline if could!

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Tomocichla asfraci are one of the most rarest central cichlids in the hobby. All can be traced back to the same breeder here in the UK. Even the ones on Dan's list at cichlids of the americas a wile back came from the same breeder in the UK. I'd never be able to find unrelated. Ever time you do the home work and research it always leads back to the same original parents.
