[@jonclark8155]

All that clear water looks good. You do a good job of taking care of them.

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you!

[@maximusaquatics7835]

You have a great assortment of Stunners Troy! Enjoyed the tour. I'm a huge fan of the Geos & Severums. Just picked up a Red Spotted Gold Severum myself, excited to add him to the 125g once he grows out some.

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you for watching! And love to hear it. Can’t go wrong with severums!

I have 2 55 gallon tanks Full of Cichlids. Mom had babies and they all grew up! Now i need a Cichlid rescue!! I need to be sure they go to good homes❤

[@paulkruger491]

Great fish.

When you mentioned the Blue Dolphin, it reminded me of when I suggested you guys to buy them...and you guys did :)

[@leokaykay1778]

Ain’t know u was from Chicago keep up the good videos never knew u could have a pond in this weather

[@CichlidBros]

Yep! Just need a deep enough pond (about 4 ft)

[@usmc72409]

I can thank you for my sveni and acara. When I saw this tank of yours awhile back now it inspired me to keep a South American tank with those 2 fish as must haves.

[@CichlidBros]

Love to hear it!

[@beat_2008]

my acara died 2 weeks ago...RIP Icey

[@TheFishCorner]

Great video. I enjoyed it. 👊🏾

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks man!

[@opethmike]

Fantastic collection of tanks. As a fellow multi-tank-syndrome sufferer, how do you go about keeping up on maintenance on so many tanks? I have a mix of salt and fresh, so I alternate weekly.

Boa Noite meu amigo, um dia faz um vídeo de suas filtragem, que modelos recomenda , obrigado

[@hraz7134]

Love the 150 and the big blue/orange koi is awesome. Are your angelfish a pair? I just got 2 for my 55 and Im loving them so far

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks! I haven’t seen the angels breeding yet

[@chadsimcox931]

Beautiful tanks!! My wife is getting me a 75 gallon for Christmas!! :) I’m planning on getting a Jack Dempsey and a firemouth to put in it. And I’ll add some driftwood and hiding spots. I’m wondering if I could add a third fish, the green terror, or do y’all think that would be too much?? Let me know please and thank you!

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks! That sounds like an awesome setup

[@TaylorBoldt-lq9fw]

O damn I didn’t know you were in the Chicago land area. I’m in the south suburbs. Got a 125 cichlid tank. Learning a lot from you.

[@CichlidBros]

Very nice! Glad the content has been helpful!

[@williamjamescavejr9423]

@8:08. That fish with the lump on the topfin. It will spread to the other fish . I would suggest taking him out. I was told its not deadly but can spread if and when they bite it. I watched it spread in my tank until i got the infected out.

[@CichlidBros]

I’ve already treated the full tank so it should be fine

[@williamjamescavejr9423]

Good luck bud. Still gonna say get him out tho.

[@ekanathr9303]

👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤super sir happy fish keeping 💐

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you!

[@LiviaStellaX]

That is a goal of mine, to have a koi pond 😍

[@andreacasoli3371]

Wonderful aquariums really, but it's perspective or two of the discus (the red and blue ones) are a bit skinnier?

[@lboogie738aquatics]

Excellent video bro. When you brought the house and seen the pond, is that what got you into the hobby? And also what’s the filtration on the 90 gallon?

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks for watching! I was already into aquariums at the time, so the pond was a perk of the house for sure. The filters on the 90 is a Seachem tidal and small canister

[@ruthwalker5179]

Let me know where you take the electric blues! If I have a place I’ll try to get some. I have a 125 that just needs its sump set up. I reclaimed from my office so it has a different drilling than yours.

[@CichlidBros]

Likely Beyond the Reef and Aquarium Adventure!

[@dluxsharp6212]

I have a question, how often do you do a water change on your 180 gallon and how much water do you change. And how often would you recommend doing a water change on a 300 gallon large cichlid tank. Thanks keep up the great work

[@Danielzmalawi]

And i wonder what he does on the weekends😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@Piske_5]

Need to make a video with @Greg Wittstock, The Pond Guy.

[@CichlidBros]

Agreed!

[@denisetommer5398]

Do you think your Peacock and Haps tank is easier than your Discus tank? I am doing my research on both to set one up and I really like the Discus and thought I would start to set up my tank (75 gallons) with the neon and cardinal tetras and rams. Then add the Discus. Or I go with the Peacock and Haps. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for all your videos, I absolutely love them...Thank you - Denise

[@beat_2008]

Personally I have peacocks and Mbunas in my 72 bow front tank as well as 13 convicts (23 fishes in total). I totally recommend this and you will like it then too!

[@riooliveros4864]

🤩 i want set up like this. how deep is your koi pond?

[@CichlidBros]

About 4.5 feet in the middle

[@riooliveros4864]

thank you 🙏 for the reply.

[@beat_2008]

@@CichlidBros damn thats crazy!

[@connorsaunders1910]

I love your guys videos they are the best and I’ve got to tell you I’ve at least about 300 fish in my house and 11 different tanks but my favourite tanks that you guys have is the 150 gallon tank the Oscar I just love 2nd is the African tank with the strawberry pecoc and sunshine and 3rd will be the 120 with South American fish those horse face fish I ❤ 🙂😀

[@connorsaunders1910]

I meant not 120 the 180 gallon I mention I love

[@jared2232]

Been watching your channel for a while. Looking at picking up my first tank this weekend potentially. A used deal for a full 90 gallon setup. The only downfall is the stand is absolutely terrible. I love your stands and was wondering if they were something you built yourself ? I'm a tradesman by profession and what you have looks pretty straight forward to build I was just wondering if you built or bought so I could weigh out my options on cost.

[@CichlidBros]

All of my stands came with the tanks and were relatively unused. Building stands are definitely straightforward though, so if you have some experience you should be just fine to diy your own. Would be slightly cheaper

[@Shy-pq2jy]

Hi, I have a 55-gallon tank, and I want to do cichlids. What do you suggest? I don't want a really aggressive tank but a colorful tank. Thanks .

[@CichlidBros]

I’d do angels and tetras

[@carlwagers9829]

Alright I got a 75 gallon aquarium, what should I do with it? Yellow labs? Angels with dither fish? I need ideas! And yes I have watched the video you guys made.

[@CichlidBros]

Angels 👌🏻

[@beat_2008]

You should add some peacocks and some Mbunas like Cobalt blue. Add a Black Substrate like gravel that is black so that when you add rocks, it wont crack. Find Mountain rocks or jagged ones to give that natural and clean aesthetics. I currently have a 72 bow front and have : 2 jewel cichlids (their eggs are hatching), 2 yellow labs (Lemon and Citrine), 2 Male and female Kennyi cichlids (Mango and Sapphire), Red Zebra (Cheeto), OB Peacock (Cookie), Auratus (Bumblebee) and Convicts (Loonie and 12 other 8 month old kids)

[@carlwagers9829]

Cool ideas! Thank you

[@carlwagers9829]

@Cichlid Bros if do angels can I add different species or just one species? (For example: 1 koi, 1 Albano, etc. Or 5 or 6 koi)

[@hraz7134]

​@@carlwagers9829 different color angels will be fine together, they're all the same fish just different coloration

[@chin58889]

What is the name of the fish that appears at 3:45?

[@CichlidBros]

Gymnogeophagus terrapurpurra

[@beat_2008]

My jewel cichlid eggs are startin' to hatch. just 2 days and theyll be swimming free. Any personal experience on keeping these guys? Tips, Perhaps?. These are hybrid Jewels-a mix between a Rare Turkana Dwarf Jewel and a Red Jewel.

[@edwinosae]

My favorite fish is the oscar but then again I love oscars.

[@CichlidBros]

The best

[@Knockoutzone5]

wow, koi can survive chicago winters? I am from chicago (now in arizona 28yrs) and I can't even survive chi town winters anymore lol

[@CichlidBros]

Yep, they just need a pond deep enough (over 3ft) so they have room under the ice. And also a small source of oxygen, so I have a floating heater disc

[@beat_2008]

@@CichlidBros If it can survive Chicago winters, can it survive Canadian winters?

[@paulkruger491]

I have 50 fish.5 tanks. Biggest 75 gallons. Smallest 35gal. And a 55 and 65.

[@GC_Aquariums]

What are the dimensions of your custom 150? Is it a 5’ tank?

[@CichlidBros]

Yep, 5x2x2 ft

[@robertsmith8795]

I noticed some cyanobacteria in your shell dweller tank. How are you dealing with that and not accidently introducing it into your other tanks? A little got into my biggest tank from a daphnia bucket I keep outside and I've been fighting it ever since! 🤦

[@phillipjohnson3414]

You should make the pond bigger

[@CichlidBros]

I’ve wanted to, but it’s a huge project

[@jwcollect8724]

Hi Troy, i think something is wrong in the discus tank, discus are a schooling fish that usually swim around together, your are not. Even the rummynose are in a ball and not swimming around. I’m not sure what’s going on but something doesn’t seem right. Regards.

[@CichlidBros]

They’re scared of the camera and lights. They’re fine.

[@jwcollect8724]

@@CichlidBros oh, ok. Thanks

[@Bricktop89-]

Those Chicago discus looks way better than the ones from Gabe😬

[@CichlidBros]

The channel is free. We don’t do memberships

[@TheCornishFishkeeper]

I meant in new tank inspiration 😜 Been watching for years.

[@CichlidBros]

Lol oh gotcha. Hopefully a lot of tanks and enjoyment!

[@sabrinakosova2613]

Manche Fische sind zu groß 😅 oder aquarium zu klein😂

And you’re incorrect, but thanks for the opinion.

repetitive same videos of showing tanks. I mean I like the stocking, setups, and all fish in general. but we need some new now
