[@WhiskyInThe6]

[@NesRetroGames]

Cheers, my friend! I hope your tank is doing well.

[@angelorodriguez1149]

Your Video Was Great 👍.. I'm also A African Cichlid Collector In All Types..

[@NesRetroGames]

Thanks. You must have a few tanks. African Cichlids are the best. You have a particular favourite kind?

[@lots33ml]

Hey, gus, you have really nice specimens in your tank. Awesome. I have been keeping africans for over 45 years and have one of my tanks filled up almost identical to yours some of the one's you have and some different one's funny how we had the same idea even with minimal amount of rocks. That one you have is a blue regal cobue for sure. I have one too maybe a little bigger but mine is a killer literally i have him all alone in a tank to himself didn't want to rehome him he's a show caliber fish but doesn't play well with others. Well, I just found you're podcast and i am going to subscribe to support a fellow african chiclid keeper and to keep up on what you're doing. Later, brother.

[@NesRetroGames]

Many thanks comment. 45 years in the hobby…wow. I could learn a lot from you. Many thanks for confirm the cobue and thanks for the sub. Cheers, my friend.

Nice stock

[@bwiz1234]

Nice setup

[@NesRetroGames]

Thanks 👍

[@rhidoysarker3870]

Keep it up very nice tank.. And the fish are awsome. Put some minimal decor it would look more awsome

[@NesRetroGames]

Many thanks for the kind words. I agree about decor. Less is more. I’ll reduce even more.

[@rhidoysarker3870]

Gus hope i can make my fishes as beautiful as yours

Kijiji big in the US? Thought it was only a Canadian thing lol. Super tank.

[@NesRetroGames]

I’m a fellow Canadian. Lol. I didn’t realize our American brothers to the south don’t use Kijiji. Thanks for the comment. I’m a big fan of your KZbin content.

[@Zluke5750]

I’ve had multiple hawks with that much color, referring to the image you’ve shown

[@BigCichlidsWy]

I’ve been following the series when it was malawi trout grow out part 1-5 I loved that fish! I’m sorry to have learned last week when you announced it passed. I was curious as to what happened to the rhoadesii? That fish was absolutely epic !!

[@NesRetroGames]

Many thanks for the comment. Can’t believe it’s been almost two years since I made that first Malawi Trout video. I loved that fish too. Thanks for asking about the Rhoadesii. He passed away over a year ago. I only had him for 3 months. He stopped eating one day and was gone two weeks later. Really strange and was sad when he died. He looked like a great white shark cruising around in there.

[@GC_Aquariums]

Looking for advice, historically I’ve kept pretty lightly stocked tanks, so… Would 20 fish in a 125 be too many? Keeping peacocks and common haps with the biggest being a borleyi which should max at around 8”

[@bishrob345]

I have an older 120 Gallon set up with 16 Aulonocara; 5 Haps; 4 Mbuna 1 Synodontis; 4 Golden Zebra Loaches and 10 Dithers being Rosey Red Minnows. H2O is clear running enough filtration for a 385 Gallon enclosure, wave makers keeps the peace. Star Sapphire and the Mdoka White Lips are on the wishing list.

[@vinodhd10]

What is the length of the tank in feet? 5 feet or 6 feet?

[@NesRetroGames]

It is a 6 foot tank.

[@philhare7851]

lepturus green is not an easy one find

[@NesRetroGames]

Totally agree. Some of these fish are terribly hard to find. Especially at certain sizes.

[@jamespalmer3716]

great vid, great tank, great fish new sub 👍

[@NesRetroGames]

Nice of you to say. Appreciate it. Thanks for subbing.
