I just got my first 10 gallon tank and I put some tetras in there. Ever since I got it I've been looking for reliable beginner information. I absolutely love this channel!

[@Wooden_Hammer]

Love that blood parrot. It’s so attentive

[@KaveManAquatics]

Thanks, He's the OG of the tank

[@kimmorankm]

The OB is beautiful! Gordo was swimming back and forth to them checking them out. 💕

Thanks! 😁

[@bretts7694]

I picked up a Fusco at my LFS a couple weeks ago and he is really cool. Already getting a lot of color for being 3-3.5" and definitely the dominant male in my tank.

[@Rexwizord]

Been watching your videos and got my jewel cichlids to breed! Beautiful fish you got

[@KaveManAquatics]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@bartzeringue9535]

Bro that fusco is gunna be a stud!!

Agreed 😊

[@shanmuga1973]

I am getting jealous.

[@KaveManAquatics]

Don't be, Just get some!

[@mattpycela5807]

Hey Kev, love the videos! Just a quick question. I recently got three new peacocks. I put them in today and my dragon blood and OB have been terrorizing them ever since causing them to be crammed in the corner. What should I do? All of them are the same size and one of three new peacocks I got is also a OB.

[@KaveManAquatics]

You need to add more fish to the tank in total or add more fish at the same time. African Cichlids can be very aggressive especially to new fish. I suggest you check out my free webinar training that could be helpful for you - event.webinarjam.com/channel/KaveMan-Aquatics

[@camoncamron1927]

Aw man I'm late but screw it when you upload it's all I can think about 😉 I hope I get to be as good a fish keeper as you are I'm in love with your cichlids and even tho I'm 8 months away from getting them I'm still doing research!

[@KaveManAquatics]

Researching now is the right way to start! 😊💪

[@NYCityCichlids]

Beasts!!!

Diggin the video my brotha very informative. Going to start the food additives tomorrow. I got a 100g Tropheus tank and thanks to you I checked out beantown aquatics and found I some hard to find Ilangi. Good looking out keep up the work. I got you on top of my list for fish keeper videos 🤙

[@polarb3ar894]

Thanx for the reply brother

[@worldoffish7119]

Kave How is your Silver Arowana

[@KaveManAquatics]

He’s doing great! Dropping a “short” this upcoming week on him and the rest of the American Tank

[@hydrobud89]

Why was the water blue in the bags?

[@KaveManAquatics]

Stress guard is blue. Many shippers use that to keep the fish calm during transit

[@thegoodbadandtheugly8431]

I always wondered... will the marker that was is d on the bags, contaminate the fish?

[@KaveManAquatics]

great question...I dont think so though...because many breeders do that

[@jennpenn7279]

I would like a bigger tank, but not sure where to buy - any suggestions?

[@KaveManAquatics]

Last I checked there was a glass shortage in the US, not sure if thats still goin on but you could try petswarehouse.com

[@serafimdinis6813]

Hello Kave whar food you Gove to your ciclidious. Thanks

[@arturoarriola5358]

Nice

[@KaveManAquatics]

Thanks

[@goncalosantos9767]

Why the water inside the plastic bags is so blue?

[@KaveManAquatics]

Most likely stress guard

[@mandeepbains1209]

Hey man i love you’re videos really taught me a whole lot got my tank cycling for about 6 weeks now and my nitrite is at 0.25 how much longer do you personally think it’s gonna take just off an estimate tank is a 20 gallon long!

[@KaveManAquatics]

Start adding some stability daily if your tank is still cycled. It'll help get rid of that nitrite

[@peep_show8037]

That padding looks like fiberglass 😅😅😅

[@KaveManAquatics]

I think thats exactly what it was lol

[@Myoldaccount-mu7of]

Has anyone ever tried using a deep sandbed with cichlids? I'm considering putting down 3 inches of pool filter sand, cover that with a screen, then add 1 inch of cichlid substrate from aragalive. The screen should prevent the fish from disrupting the sand but wanted to ask around.

[@averyjones5750]

Hey Kev my lemon Jake have a cloudy white eye. How do I tread his eye?

[@KaveManAquatics]

Try some Melafix but the best medication is clean healthy water

[@zae2jiggy392]

No hate juss curious y was the water in the bag blue

[@KaveManAquatics]

Breeders add stress guard to keep the fish calm during transit...stress guard is blue

[@zae2jiggy392]

@@KaveManAquatics Oh ok so when u take fish on long trips u add stressguard

[@KaveManAquatics]

That would definitely help

[@zae2jiggy392]

@@KaveManAquatics Thank for the knowledge also i love your fishes and channel and u do great stuff 😀

[@kennygore1395]

what if you do not have a quarantine tank?

[@KaveManAquatics]

You should get one...you run the risk of infecting your whole tank with diseases if you dont quarantine new fish

[@JefsCichlids]

That was a Maylandi Sulfurhead 😊

[@KaveManAquatics]

Thank you for the correction! I had no idea what I was getting 🤣

[@chadb7694]

Can I use a brand new tank as the quarantine tank? Meaning no fish have been in it

[@KaveManAquatics]

Yes sir that’s fine 👍

[@Lorenz_C]

Are you ever going to get a mbuna tank?

[@KaveManAquatics]

Very possible! But I have to upgrade my space first lol

[@Teedot292]

How big is your tank

[@KaveManAquatics]

which one? Africans are 210, Americans are 150

[@lowlife9966]

Help! 1 have a new fish he don't want to eat 😕 why?

[@KaveManAquatics]

New fish need time to adjust to their new environment. Also a reason why you should quarantine them until theyre eating on their own

[@julzzee5976]

Are these haps?

[@KaveManAquatics]

Yes

[@arvinsingh3991]

I do 50 % water changes every week and still end up with high nitrate and nitrite. What do I do?

[@josephescobedo6122]

Yo Kev.. love the content my man! Quick question, can you get massive man sizes on the hoodies? I usually get a couple sizes bigger to accommodate for the shrink. If you do or can please let me know. Thanks brotha, and keep the vids comin G!

[@KaveManAquatics]

Unfortunately I'm at the mercy of teespring and whatever sizes they can accommodate. Sometimes they go up to 3X but those sell out quick

[@dilanay4165]

Maybe the black bag is to stop them seeing eachother in the box and getting stressed out?

[@dilanay4165]

Lol never mind, just saw the answer in the rest of the video lol

[@KaveManAquatics]

That was a good thought though, lol makes sense 😊

[@MiniMonsters508]

Is the quarantine tank running 24/7? Or you start the process knowing you’re going to get fish?

[@KaveManAquatics]

I have done it both ways. Now I run it 24/7 because of how many fish and tanks I have. But its also not necessary if you keep a seeded sponge filter available, you can set it up and add fish same day 😊 - this video should be helpful - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5fPfmSoebijmac

[@scottywelsh18]

Whatever way you take fish out of the bag is stressful. Who ever says tipping them into a net is less stressful are not using their brain. Don't let others change the way you do you👍

[@chiragbaruah7610]

that's a Alunocara Maylandi not maglandi

[@KaveManAquatics]

Yes, I've been corrected since uploading. I had no idea what I was going and was just misreading the bag.

[@toriavalentine3668]

If you got the time to answer, have you ever experienced a fish acting loopy/disoriented after receiving them in the mail? I've got mine in quarantine, shipping got delayed and took 5 days! 😱

[@KaveManAquatics]

Absolutely! Probably oxygen deprived and ammonia poisoned for that many days. Keep the quarantine extra clean with fresh water and heavily oxygenated. You should also add some Stress Guard. They can recover from near death, I've had a few that arrived like that and today they are Studs!! 😊
