[@jsiemens79]

Beantown Aquatics has fantastic fish. The fryeri he carries would be great in your tank.

[@rudyquezada7088]

Beautiful fish !!

[@maryglover8283]

Stunning group of fish!✨

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks!

[@juliusbarnacha9984]

Your Electra is looking good gotta be one of my favourite fish in your tank

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you!

[@PriceTagAquariums]

I've always had the best luck to mitigate aggression the same way you do and have it overstocked. I also had a few losses in the past 6-7 months and more aggression set in, then got a few more additions myself and it solved it! I really like the Bicolor, but then again I'm always more attracted to the blue/yellow mix in fish lol. Good luck with the new cichlids and great unboxing video, Troy! 👍

[@CichlidBros]

I agree, it’s always a good thing to try and overstock Africans a little to bring aggression down. Good luck with your new fish!

[@mikezizis3725]

Love the whole thing, the established population, and the newbies - brilliant! I often wonder what becomes of the gals? I don't mean personally - it's just never mentioned by any of online Malawian presenters.

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks! I’ve only bought males. Lessens aggression without breeding or fighting for the females. I’d probably only get females if I intended to have a breeding group

[@jeffkoons4612]

What!! No helper today👍✌️✌️😉🐕

[@CichlidBros]

Haha, Rambo must've been sleeping

[@Freddy-ep4mo]

Aquagaus is one hour drive for me 😉👍👍👍

[@CichlidBros]

Would definitely love to go someday

[@Freddy-ep4mo]

@CichlidBros Unbelievable what you going to see 😉

[@aquarium.talktv]

Great additions Troy. I like the Lwanda (if that’s how you spell it) 😅. Love it man

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks man!

[@mizukage796]

I think the Lawanda is my favorite

[@CichlidBros]

It’s a beauty!

[@landonw8982]

Lucky guy , enjoy the new fish !

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks, will do!

[@andrewmenoscal3560]

My favorite tank!!

[@ianm659]

Awesome fish!

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks!

[@walfredjimenez6415]

Beautiful addition to the 135g! Thanks for sharing Troy. What shells did you get for your substrate? Also, any word on Aquashella Daytona ??!

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you! It is African Cichlid substrate from Carib sea. One of the options is a crushed shell mix. I don’t think we’re going to make it to Aquashella Daytona unfortunately. Busy schedule for us

[@sandyloyst1811]

Spectacular!

[@BrianBurris-p5x]

I just got two aulonocara sunshine for my 180

[@CichlidBros]

Awesome ☀️

[@TheBlahblahblahhh]

Great content!

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks for watching!

[@jay-remedy-plz]

Looks fantastic! I’ve seen his channel as well. One sidenote I remember Charles of Goliad Farms try’s to avoid using nets when possible.

[@adamc7918]

Nice. Enjoyed the video

[@CichlidBros]

[@coachalecholler]

MORE!

[@Asvfishing]

What kind of rocks are those in the African cichlid tank

[@KnKs64]

Great Video. I too am having issues with serious aggression in one of my 75 Gallon African Cichlid tanks right now and I need to do something pretty quick. I have a Tank Boss, Regal Blue Peacock that is absolutely beautiful, but he is a real turd to the rest of the fish. He keeps everyone on the right side of the tank, and beats them up if they come to the left side. My Sunshine Peacock that is forced to the right side chases the rest of them to the left side and then the Regal Blue chases them back to the right. I've got 6 peacocks in this tank right now, and I think that I need to add 4 more. Been thinking about adding some larger fish to try and calm things down a bit, but I'm also at a point where my normal quarantine tank is currently being used to grow out some smaller fish, so I'm going to have to do the same thing that you just did. I'm thinking about doing a couple of nonpredatory haps. My two tank bosses are at 5"+ right now. Kent

[@CichlidBros]

Hey Kent, that would be my recommendation. I don’t have many LFS’s around me that I trusted to not quarantine, so I went with a trusted online source like Beantown. I think the new fish would help reset the hierarchy some in your tank

[@SlimTim_dirty_aquatics]

Fired Up!!!

[@CichlidBros]

💪🏼💪🏼

[@SterlingConsultantsLLC]

Love this tank! How red is that new one? I am trying to fine the most red peacock or hap. On camera he looks great.

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks! He’s got the best red color of any cichlid I’ve seen in person. Pumped to have him!

[@andrewderksen3342]

Nice fish :) 2 Lwanda's are better than one 🎉

[@CichlidBros]

Can’t agree more

[@Chiclidjunkies]

That German almost made me convert from American to African haha almost lol.

[@CichlidBros]

Haha do both!

[@banditfishing1558]

Can you recommend a food from my geophagus? I know you use Xtreme but I cannot get that where I am

[@richardgiacomotti404]

👍👍👍

[@ddaquarium3531]

The German red is going to terrorize your tank in a couple a months. I had to take mine back to the store like 2 weeks ago no my tank is perfect

[@CichlidBros]

It is all dependent on the species. No way to tell that

[@DimasFajar-ns4vb]

dear sir melem giant gourami grasscarp pacu can eat fresh corn fruit silk sir

[@fishyabish9557]

Get a 60 gallon breeder instead of the 40

[@CichlidBros]

Would have to rebuild stands, so idk

[@alennovanto]

Thats too expensive for me wkwk

[@CichlidBros]

@@alennovanto cheaper than my local fish stores 🤷🏻‍♂️
