Huge African Cichlid Hatchery Tour - Something Fishy

[@DaniKenAquatics]

Wow thanks For sharing I have kept Africans for over 30 yrs thanks

[@somethingfishyinc.5313]

thanks Steve and thank you for the nice complements everyone that has posted here. It's a lot of work every single day. Lots of water changes etc. help keep water clear and clean. I have been in the hobby including the business over 38 years. also been to SA collecting, Africa diving Malawi and Australia great Barrier reef and rainforest. Been fortunate to do what I have loved most of my life. Support your LFS we are a rare & dying breed. :)

[@StevePolandAquatics]

+Something Fishy Inc. Thanks again for taking the time to show us around. It was a great addition to the trip.

[@jacobchrem2536]

Something Fishy Inc. WOW!! that was amazing. You are very fortunate , I really enjoyed seeing this.

[@ipleedafif8033]

Something Fishy Inc. Wow a metal frame tank. Brings back memories. My 1st tank was given to me as a hand me down and it was a 10 gal metal frame with a corner bubbler.

[@lizzyanthus1]

I also started out with the old metal framed and slate bottomed tanks! Kind of dates us, doesn't it? LOL I loved those tanks. Heavy as all heck though. And yup, the little corner boxed filters. I was so dumb back then. Always threw away the filter floss when cleaning them, and the charcoal. Must have been crashing my cycle every time. Ugh. The hobby has certainly come a long way, hasn't it?!

[@filebertochavarin4214]

Something Fishy Inc._ Dang bro you got the best shop ever, even most people in the hobby with tanks at home don't keep them this nice

[@delonak9298]

We are coming from Tiffin, Ohio to check this place out next weekend! I'm super excited!!

[@StevePolandAquatics]

You'll love it

[@dwayneadams4448]

I got around 80% of my CA/SA cichlids from somethingfishy. Super clean tanks and shop. Plus rare cichlids like my Golden Jag. Thanks Steve for coming to the Land!

[@Somethingfishyinc]

Nice to see after 3 years many are enjoying Steve's video of our LFS and hatcheries. Stop in and say hi some time or check us out on you tube. Thanks Me Dave

[@parallax3339]

Thanks for sharing Steve. I got a basement tour from Dave a few years ago when I visited, he's got a real impressive setup and a great store. It's always worth a visit to the store if you are in the area.

[@StevePolandAquatics]

+Parallax for sure. It's an amazing place.

[@lots33ml]

I've been getting fish from Dave almost the whole time he's had the store and I've also been downstairs it's mind blowing if you love chiclids. Dave and staff have always been friendly and there all very knowledgeable. If you love chiclids this is the place for you. I will always patronize his esablisment.

[@somethingfishyinc.5313]

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Great video, really enjoyed. Enjoyed seeing Malawi mixed with Tanganyikan, that's what I have, reluctant to post because of backlash. My fish get alone great, no aggression and I think it adds personality to the tank.
