Great data! your videos gets better and better, and so does your thumbnail photos :)

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

I am trying to think them through more and do some do overs. In the past I hurried just to get a video up. I have realized the importance of the thumbnail can determine how many people watch a video. I have been taking more still photos than before as well and saving some of the ones I didn't choose incase I change my mind! I am happy that some people can tell some of my improvements! I am trying to focus more on the whole package! I have had some fresh new comments that helped me stir the water in my head! LOL

[@dendrochiruszebra9063]

Head water stirring is always good :) and it shows in your photos! I also rush my videos way too much, and sadly sometimes it shows. My biggest problem is, to many projects - videos I want to show, and too few hours in a day :)

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

It sure feels like there is way fewer hours in the winter time! I sometimes feel like I should just hibernate until Spring!

[@dendrochiruszebra9063]

Spring is king! I'm counting the minutes :)

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

My body does better in warmer weather! Spring brings joy to many people!

Thank you 😊!

[@Deon0026yickadee]

wow great video and congratulations on the 1000 subs dude

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

Thank you sir! It will inspire me to think out and improve my videos on going! The comments I get both positive and negative inspire me. I never really even used KZbin until I started making fish videos!!!

[@austinbradley3411]

How to tell male from female? Great set up.

[@DJ_LittlePea]

Congrats on the 1000 subs Ricky you should have got them ages ago your channel is fantastic 🤗🤗🤗😻

[@beexiong2171]

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

[@DavidDK1975]

Hello thats a nice set up.... had a query regarding mbunas.Since you are an expert... What are the reasons for sunken belly in mbunas....??they are eating but sunken belly not going... What can be done?? I feed my fish twice a day.....dont want to over feed and encounter issues... Would be great if you could advice...

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

It is a parasite that is hard to get rid of usually. Seachem makes some medication 💊 you can try after doing some more research!

[@felixthewintersoldierspink2347]

Great video brother

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

Thank you 😎!

[@connorarmas]

[@johncarlson3742]

Ricky, Tank & fish look great. Could you give us a video showing how to strip a female to get the highest number of fry?

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

I could do that! It may be awhile before I strip a female as all my tank space is being used. I do plan to start stripping the mbamba labidchromis yellow tops once I sell some more fish! I will try to have a video for you in the next few weeks if tank space becomes available!

[@johncarlson3742]

Please let me know (somehow) when you do this video as it will be a problem to circle around to this post in the future

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

I will post a comment under yours and you will get a notification and I can also send a google message!

[@johncarlson3742]

EXCELLENT! I'll be looking forward to the video.

[@TheFineLine920]

Great info! Thank you! 💖

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

You are welcome! Thank you for tuning in!

[@joggisack4205]

Is this a Labidochromis mbamba bay ? He looks awesome! Nice Video

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

Yes! I really like them! Thank you!

[@adeelshaikh2129]

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

[@coajrmusic]

I have raised the temp and added Epsome salt to simulate spring, with salt from mountain snowmelt runoff....I had mouthsfull of fry in no time.

[@samiam159007]

Hi there, what kind of mbuna is your male? He is stunning!

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

[@samiam159007]

@@RickyKenerlyCichlids Thanks so much!!!

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

You are welcome!

[@nelsonrodriguez2245]

How do you know when they are holding

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

It looks like they have a bunch of food in their mouth and that bulge stay for days!

[@Said.Al-maghribi.Al-kasani]

I have a small male and a big female . But the female is chasing the male and the male is injured what should I do to breed them?

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

You might want to grow out the male in another aquarium for a bit. If you can't do that I would suggest making or getting caves for the fish to hide in if you don't have them already. This will slow things down a bit as far as the aggression.

[@toast23481]

My small fry (only a couple days since graduating from my egg tumbler) don’t appear to be eating and aren’t very active. Any ideas? They are Mbamba Bay’s

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

Try algae wafers!

[@lakemalawifishkeeping2599]

Have u dabbled with German blue rams

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

I have not even though they have great color!

[@cincinnatizogbleu5137]

Hi there Friend...Can u please tell me when i can start stripping....how along does the female has to be..?

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

I like to wait 7 days so any unfertilized eggs go away!

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

That is with an egg tumbler.

[@cincinnatizogbleu5137]

I think she's about 2 to 3 week's in holding stage...i have her in breeding Net now....Do u think fry swimming in her mouth Now...So i can start the Striping method..?

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

You should be good to go!
