Great in depth information! I wondered about them recognizing people. They like to take turns and slowly come up to the glass when I am watching them which is different than most of my other fish.

I purchased 6 juvenile Regani (Marksmithi) back in December 2023, it is now 10 months later, and I have about 30 in the tank, if not more. I put the original 6 in a 40 gallon breeder, and provided a ton of Texas holy rock and coral rock. Within 3-4 months I noticed the first baby. Now I see a new baby or 2 every couple weeks. I've never seen a fry, just youngsters. It's been really fun to see the poplulation grow. I recently managed to catch 6 small juveniles and i put them in a separate grow out tank, I will then combine these 6 with six I just purchased from a different seller, in hopes of diversifying the genetics.

right on time my friend, i was Just about to get a species only tank with these. The only problem is that there are no regani in my region, but i will probably stay with the marlieri, they seem awesome too, thanks for the video

That is a shame you're unable to get regani where you are. Agree though, marlieri are an awesome Julie cichlid too! Good luck with your fish mate! Glad you enjoyed the video

Great video I just got 5 of these beauties in a species only tank I'm hoping to breed from your video I think I might have 3 females and 2 males but not totally sure. So you mentioned terracotta pots and that they will spawn in them can you tell me about other areas they will spawn like under rocks or beside rocks or will the also spawn on the open sand ? 🤔. I'd love any advice you could give me. Tia

@JasonsCichlids 9 ай бұрын

Looks like you spawned them very quickly Tina, I just responded to your other messages. So well done with that. They won't spawn on the open sand as they like to dig. They will spawn under caves as well as in terracotta pots.

Fantastic breakdown Jason. Regarding Julidochromis Kipilis, how big do they get? And can a few of them be kept together in a 100 gallon?

@JasonsCichlids 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much. I assume kipilis are also known as marksmithi? I don't know a lot about them but online sources say they reach around the 4 inch mark. You would be able to keep a lot of them in a tank that size! I'd say the tank would be over kill for a single pair. But I have never kept them personally although I would love to try them given their beautiful yellow colouration.

@@JasonsCichlids These guys are Regani Kipili. LFS state they stay at 8cm but Google states they get much larger and are aggressive! I'd be creating different biotopes including Multies, caudopunctatus and cyprochromis

Thanks but I just share my experiences with them on youtube. I feed Brine Shrimp and Mysis Shrimp. Once every two to three days. Alternating with different types of sinking pellets which I always pre-soak before feeding.

Hi Jason, I have a 2x1.5x1.5 ft tank (121 litres) with a lot of rocks in it. I currently have a pair of caudopunctatus in the tank. I have two julidochromis transcriptus juveniles and a lelupi in a large tub with some rocks. Can I add the julies in the tank with caudos? They seem to get along with the lelupi but I was wondering if they will they get along with the caudos ?

@JasonsCichlids 9 ай бұрын

I am sorry for the late reply but unfortunately I would say your tank is too small to add more fish. Especially as they will all be competing for the same territory as all are rock dwellers (even though people say caudopunctatus are shell dwellers). If you did do it, how did it go?

Hey mate, good to hear you will be posting some beginner content! Julidochromis transcriptus are said to be the smallest, growing to 7cm. Followed closely by Julidochromis ornatus that are said grow to a max size of 8.5cm.

Awesome tutorial! I have four of these in my 75 gallon community tank, two larger and two smaller, but they have not shown any sign of pairing up for me in the six months I've had them. Any tips for getting a pair bond going?

@JasonsCichlids 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much. It could be any number of things. Water parameters, frequency of water changes, diet, rock work for them to hide in, the amount of fish in the tank (although that doesn't bother my second breeding pair). What size are your regani? Could also be that they haven't reached sexual maturity yet?

Great vid :) My local fish store was shutting down so I picked up some fry he'd received that were supposed to be Bumblebee's, but they didn't look like the Bumblebee fry at all, so I started looking, and my best guess is that they're regani. (They have that very slight shimmer on the top of the dorsal fin). They're the latest video on my channel. At least I've narrowed the genus down, so that will help :)

@JasonsCichlids 2 жыл бұрын

Glad you enjoyed it. Wow Bumblebee's are a completely different fish! How can a fish store get fish completely mixed up like that? I watched your video and believe they are actually Julidochromis ornatus. Typically, regani have 4 horizonal bars, while ornatus have 3.

@@JasonsCichlids Thanks! Every little bit of new info helps. I have a bunch of extra coral from my marine tank to build some caves for them. Looks like I have a bit of time before I need to transfer them over to the 55 gallon, so I can get creative :D

Jason, which tank mate go great with julidochromis?

@JasonsCichlids 3 жыл бұрын

I would recommend open water species of fish like Cyps and Ventralis so they don't have to compete with other rock dwelling cichlids as much. That said, you should be able to keep them Neolamps.

@tinadoyle3803 9 ай бұрын

After a pair spawn do you take out the other fish ?

@JasonsCichlids 9 ай бұрын

It is best remove all other fish to prevent the fry being preyed upon. However, the bond with regani is a strange one and it is sometimes beneficial to keep a sub-dominant fish in with the breeding pair. The reason for this is that the female of the pair can sometimes attack the male. Having a sub-dominant fish in the tank with the pair will mean their bond stays strong as they will be pre-occupied defending their fry from the sub-dominant fish. I don't like this practice due to the aggression being placed on the sub-dominant fish as well as this fish may still manage to eat some of the fry.

So i have a question i got a 20 gallon with 2 julis same species one male one female they grew up together and yet have not tried to breed the male tries to move in sometimes but the female kicks him out of the cave immediately the only time that the female doesnt bother him is when my synodontis comes out to eat which is like twice a day is there a way to get them to pair with eachother or are they just going to be mortal enemies for their whole life?

@JasonsCichlids 3 жыл бұрын

Hmm hard so say. But are you absolutely sure they are male and female? I would purchase some more. Maybe another 4 to 6 and put them in with them. See what happens then, you're sure to end up with a pair eventually.

These are very good videos but.................. If a fish is named after a person, you should pronounce the fish name as close to the person's name as possible. So it's RAY- gan- eye. (I learned this as a kid when we realized that it was NOT ram-er-EE-zee, but ram-IR-ez-eye. And i took four years of Latin in school.)
