I Found Monster Fish, Giant Cichlids, & Rare Fish!

I found some of the largest cichlids, monster fish, and some rare options at two local fish stores in Milwaukee, WI. In this video, I show the highlights from Aquatics Unlimited, where I saw some of the best selections of cichlids and fish that I've ever seen at a store. The big cichlids included red devil cichlids, midas cichlids, oscar cichlids, firemouth cichlids, chocolate cichlids, and many more.
On top of some amazing cichlids, I also saw some monster fish including redtail catfish, pacu, alligator gar, and massive plecos. The fish selections and number of aquariums were mind blowing, and I definitely want to go back soon.
If you are ever in the area, I'd recommend checking out Aquatics Unlimited and Best Fish.

I thought the fish stores around me were good until I saw this. Wow.

[@sandyloyst1811]

Awesome tour Troy! Jeez that Aquatic's Unlimited has everything. That black nasty and chocolate cichlid were special. I love the flagtails even as babies. The dennisson(?) barbs are equally amazing. Makes you wonder if Alec's new fish are available in this store? Did we just get a hint? Love and Peace.

[@RogueAquariums]

That store has a nice vast selection. That flag tail and clown loach were huge! Thanks for the tour! 👍

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks for watching!

[@sandyloyst1811]

Giannis looks spectacular in his new tank! Peace.

[@lisamcgill664]

You found some good stores...

[@oscardean6351]

Wow, what an amazing store I’m impatient when it comes to growing fish out. I like them to be at least half grown, so to see so many large fish on sale would be a dream for me. You have to buy that chocolate cichlid what a beauty :)

[@zzTUCKERzz]

should of called him Dahmer.

[@MrPatagonianFox]

What a store! You’ll have to go back when it’s time to stock the big aquarium.

[@rpliegos]

Wow awesome fish store! the giant cichlids and the clown loach are HUGE!

[@SlimTim_dirty_aquatics]

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

[@dhammaboy1203]

I'm in Australia so unfortunately not much chance of visiting this store - but I love these family-owned, aquarium shops that are clearly made with such love and thoughtfulness towards the hobby!

[@markfranklin8831]

Really nice tanks

[@tedriggs1513]

I love the Flagtails. I had a couple before and I want to get a tank set up for a new one soon.

[@CichlidBros]

They’re amazing fish for sure

[@glewis217]

Thank you for showcasing some the fish stores we have here in Milwaukee. I have to check out the first location.

[@CichlidBros]

Any time!

[@sandyloyst1811]

Welcome Betta, you are a beauty too. Troy will you spell out the name, Thanks. Peace.

[@CichlidBros]

Haha thanks! His name is Giannis

[@Zazafishaquatics]

I love the smaller, fish stores 🫶🏾

[@thomasn7568]

Amazing store. Thanks for the video. I’ve never seen such a variety of big cichlids at a retail store. I love the immaculate and well maintained tanks.

[@CichlidBros]

Couldn't agree more!

[@keshadorsey1876]

The blood parrot is huge

[@bitcoinbatman3772]

I've been restarting my 75 gallon and this is the store I went to today. Got a bunch of barbs, as well as a electric blue acara!

[@CichlidBros]

Love to hear it!

[@DampOwlet]

If you find yourself in Phoenix check out the ocean floor! It’s huge

[@CichlidBros]

Definitely would love to visit!

[@TetrisKing]

Dope name for the fish. Giannis is one of the few players I got a jersey for.

[@CichlidBros]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@lp22aquatics]

Cool video! I need to take a trip to Milwaukee it seems! Have you ever considered doing a video tour of LFSs around the Chicago area? There's a lot of great ones! Datz, Zooxae, Tropi Quatics, Aquarium Adventure....the list goes on and on!!

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks! I’ve toured AA and Zooaxe. Here’s one of them: Huge 550 Gallon Discus Aquarium! (Zooxae Tour) kzbin.info/www/bejne/faWvgmyraM2gaJI

[@lp22aquatics]

@CichlidBros adding to my queue, thanks!! I love Zooxae! Great store!

[@timadams306]

So glad you finally made it up there. Luckily I'm 40 min and go there all the time. Just got a group of silver dollars 2 weeks ago. Great video

[@CichlidBros]

That is awesome!

[@timadams306]

@@CichlidBros one of your first shoo videos you asked where you should go. That was my answer. Live the video. May go and grab a group of threadfin acaras soon

[@Mark-bm9dx]

We bought that giraffe cichlid at 6:18

[@CichlidBros]

Awesome

[@1hit3rquit3r]

Could you tell me what kind of algae eater is best for my cichlid tank? It's for a 55 gallon tank, but we don't want pleco... we are looking for something that will stay about 4 inches long or smaller

[@Jimenez20]

I wish we had more options in my area. All we have is Petco and Pet Supermarket. Not usually the best fish.

[@kc2540]

Why not Old Milwaukee? LOL... Cool Store

[@elleymiller2563]

Wow that clown loach was epic and so calm 😍
