My African Cichlid Pond is doing Awesome!

[@thekingofdiy]

Yours is Basically why I built mine. Although in comparison, my pond is embarrassing. Yours is in a world of its own!

[@hhoody1235]

It’s not all about size Joey it’s what you do with it 😂👌🏼

[@vicaroo001]

You can swim it it Joey. I'd take yours in my backyard for sure!

[@thefriendlybeast2613]

Nothing wrong with starting small at least ya started.

[@cowboyfrmhell100]

Yours isn't embarrassing Joey, its self built like my swim pond is, we cant compete with the artistry of Aquascape those guys are the best 🙌

[@hayhay8347]

Replace your aquarium gallery with a massive rec pond!

[@kierankieranbarker]

This pond is how I originally found this channel! Amazing! Keep up all the great work you do!

[@JPsPetNation]

How long you bene following him for ?

[@FeedYourGreed]

They really knocked out of the park with that build. It’s matured super nicely.

[@Algernon_1337]

I'm glad another water snake moved in, dont tell Slinky.

[@jebVlogs556]

@James Slinky already knows 😆 he can smell them the moment they enter the Kamp. Nothing gets by slinky. First the 3-10k snake got eaten. And oldest living snake living at the Lamp not that long ago go Destroyed on 📷 😆..so yeah 😃

[@TerrorMau5]

there are 2 as far as i know.

[@phillicondor]

I was imagining myself as slinky during that video swimming round scoping the place out and when they snake popped into view my mouth watered

[@PurpleDrac]

I felt kinda bad for Keenan he wasn't able to prevent it but that's what monitor lizards do they hunt. They're able to detect even the mildest changes in their immediate surroundings. So if they can sense vibrations of other species they can certainly track down a snake. You'd think they'd slip below the radar but not with them they can still smell um. And sure enough it did. it found it.

[@PurpleDrac]

I thought it to be kinda foolish letting them run amok knowing there is snakes in there. And as you've all witnessed the snake barely did anything in fact. it did nothing! Slinky found it then slaughtered it.

[@justincollins9003]

The larger cage sounds awesome. Love your yard it’s so awesome.

[@JPsPetNation]

It does. I think it will look good.too

The blue on some of those fish is just beautiful! Love how great the pond is doing!

[@JPsPetNation]

I agree and the black markings on tjen makes then stand out so nice

[@brollowhimself2629]

If you like them I’m pretty sure Kenan did a video about buying them too.

[@talltraveler82]

@@brollowhimself2629 oh he did, I've been subscribed for like 7 years and don't think I've missed an episode yet 🤣🤣 But they're still beautiful, especially watching them in his pond

I wish my garden look like that just getting up to that in the morning with a coffee or tea your mood so nice

I agree I wish I had all that room for a big pond like that ha .. I love the plants around it too. It jsut looks so clean too

Thank you so much!!

[@turtlegaby]

Wow, those under water scenes, simply stunning. Your videos are never boring.

[@saifshariff8640]

How about adding some shell dwellers. So you've got some action at the bottom of the pond 🤠

[@JPsPetNation]

That be good .. I really like that idea.. it give some life to the bottom . Or maybe add some Cory's on a plec

[@jessenewman1819]

I agree that would look amazing in the pond.

[@dodorik7114]

Arent all shell dwellers really tiny? I dont think theyd fare well in that big pond with all the big fish

[@vicaroo001]

I'd like to see something (not sure what) that would consume the "moam" (?? spelling) on the bottom of the pond. You know, that mulchy dirty stuff that comes flying up when someone (human or turtle) steps on it. Is that even possible, I wonder?l

[@JPsPetNation]

@@vicaroo001 sorry I have really.bad spelling I apologise for that.. I think it is possible..but again I am not sure .. I think it make it harder to have them around the side . They habe to be in the deeper parts. ..

[@GodisTruth914]

Yes!! The cage/enclosure sounds awesome!!!!

[@sinderdaniels9598]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add more species of rift lake african cichlids. This pond is so amazing and that is one way to increase it's potential for beauty and education. Adding more species will show the huge diversity of shapes and behaviors that formed over millions of years in rift lake african cichlids. For example, adding a big cluster of shells somewhere in the pond and introducing a colony of shell dweller cichlids. Or having calvus species living in between the big rocks. Or having big Malawi trout as a big noticeable predator swimming in the mid water although with other large hap species.

[@8301TheJMan]

Not to mention the fact that for the massive size of the pond, there's really not all that many fish in it. When it comes to African cichlids, you really got to overstock their tanks, because they can be very aggressive and overstocking tamps down on that, especially with those Haps and Mbunas, along with Peacocks to sometimes.

[@itsLizJaramillo]

I agree that you should do a very long underwater video. They're so calming!!

[@finadic570]

Awesome, your living the dream in the Paradise you have created.

[@FinchChatter]

I remember breeding Cichlids back in College, this made me want to breed again. Great Video.

[@WoAntonio]

My favorite channel. The best backyard on KZbin

[@nathanielkeller5366]

You need tanganyikan goby cichlids to help graze on more of the algae on the rocks and plants. They would add another bottom dwelling dimension to the pond and keep the hardscape cleaner.

[@JuiceBoxx_627]

I'd say some plecos, they grow super big and only a couple of them would suffice

[@Xionaga]

@@JuiceBoxx_627 while i do agree, plecos are invasive in florida so thats a slippery slope

[@parisinthe30sx]

@@Xionaga yeah but it's not like it's a wild pond, it's on his property. Same as having a koi pond.

[@sinderdaniels9598]

Yes I completely agree! This and plecos. The pond can have a huge diversity of fish

[@JuiceBoxx_627]

@@Xionaga his pond doesn't run into any native waterways. Unless someone picked it up from his pond and put it in the river, I think it would be ok.

[@jeil5676]

Nice fish. Hap compressiceps, Frontosas, Tropheus. Great pond.

Wow! The Cichlids are totally amazing ! ❤️❤️❤️

Love rec ponds there gorgeous and fun to build yours is a nice established ecosystem with nice clear water i love water features

[@jackpotjunkie]

You have the most amazing beautiful scenic backyard I've ever seen! I'm sure u spend half your life keeping up with the maintenance & landscaping. I pray that God continues to bless u w/ the strength, energy, & motivation to keep the kamp alive in 'tip-top' condition, as it always is.

First time visiting this channel and it is already so cool

[@torquess454]

I like the walk through enclosure idea with a cave Kenan, go for it!!

[@susanmartin3762]

How cool is it that most people have their cichlids in fish tanks and their little living rooms but not you Kenan you have a fish tank that is YOUR BACKYARD! 🏵Normally people have to feed their fish in the fish tank! 🐡You can feed yours and then go swimming with your fish. 🌷🐠What a paradise Kamp Kenan is thank you for sharing this with us all the time🦋

[@kross6]

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this today

[@loriw2661]

That was so cool when you were swimming and came up under the deck to see a snake hiding there. He’s got the perfect home!! What a beautiful ecosystem. I think the walk in enclosure around the Rhino Iguanas is the perfect idea. 🦎🦎🐢❤️

[@JPsPetNation]

I agree that snake looked so happy and chilled. It really is the perfect spot for him.. I can nit wait to see the new walk,in enclosures

And an all you can eat buffet 😂

Love the cichlid pond.

[@8301TheJMan]

This is literally one of the coolest fuckin things i've ever seen. To keep a massive outdoor pond stocked with some gorgeous African Cichlids, wow - just wow! Normally ponds or super-sized aquariums, you usually see South and Central American cichlids, like Oscars, Jack Dempseys, Peacock Bass, Dovii Wolf-Cichlids, Crenicichla Pike-Cichlids, Red-Devils, Midas Cichlids, Texas Cichlids, Green Terrors, Managuense Jaguar-Cichlids, or man-made hybrids like Flowerhorns along with other large non-cichlids - like Pacus, Arowana, or Clown and Ghost Knife fish for example. It's so cool to see yours stocked with Africans, who all look like they're doing great, especially those Electric Blue Fryeris - who are absolutely stunning mate. Your set up is simply breath-taking, you should really be proud of this gorgeous set-up and how well it's doing. Bravo!

I’m so glad you caught all the critters (I love them too) and they didn’t visit the Cichlids.
