We Rescued A Huge Colony of Beautiful Frontosa Cichlids,

[@nathanial_summers]

I know it wouldn't be practical but that Frontosa colony would look epic in the empty 1800 Bellagio tank with the coral.

[@KristopherONeill1987]

I was literally about to type the same

[@nikolidobosh6147]

I agree but i don’t like empty tanks decor is always one of my favorite parts of a fish tank

[@thebigfellacole3757]

Pittsburg is my spirit animal. Sits there in his tank with a dopey look on his face. I love him.

[@smokingjoint4661]

Prayers for Tracy 🙏🏻

[@shelley3815]

It's chiclid heaven ❤ those frontosa look beautiful a fantastic addition to OFR .

[@OffTheDeepEndAquatics]

Another awesome rescue guys!

[@AmitTheAquarists]

Great Video 'frontosa World' 👍

[@DaSALTmustFLOW13Marquez]

[@kinggreatwhite4880]

No skip ad gang here that African Cichlid tank is Beautiful I love it

Another proud member of the no skip ad gang right here! Glad to meet you! 🙂🐟🐟🐟

[@debbieoakes8845]

[@stevesteve7272]

People are going to go crazy because you mixed the two different types of Frontosa lol appreciate what you guys do it’s awesome that you finally have a colony of my favorite fish 😃✌️

[@Emg2463]

Those Bellagio tanks are gorgeous....glad you didn't listen to those telling you to get rid of the coral. Perfect tank for African cichlids !

[@monikabaciulis]

Love how you care about every fish ❤️ thank you josh you’re such a good soul ❤️ and such a lot of work and responsibility 😳 thousands of good wishes to Tracy and Bigrich 🙏🏻

[@judyallison2277]

Great video josh the new 1800 gallon looks fantastic

[@williamamely7038]

So many great, new fish, for your facility. Hope you will find homes for all of them. Keep up the great work you all do. Stay fishy my friends and my prayers for Tracy. Happy fish keeping to all.

[@patrickstar9161]

The bellagio cichlid tank is beautiful. Probably my favorite tank at ofr

[@jeffbeatty6325]

Awesome Rescue Josh. 👍 Frontosa are my favorite Cichlid. I have 15 of them in my tank. They are nowhere as big or as beautiful as those beasts you just rescued. What a score!

[@kathrynswords2400]

the bellagio tank fish & set up is incredible!

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Absolutely beautiful place....man your living the dream for sure....awesome!...

[@callendavidson4948]

Crazy how small all these frontosa make this tank look.

[@superbjai76]

Another Awesome Day! I'm Happy for those Beautiful Cichlids. They should do well in the Bellagio Cichlid Tank too.

[@Populiervogel]

The Frontosas will look great in the second Bellagio tank.

[@jasonmillwood2893]

Populier Vogel the community fish will look awesome in the second one

[@smokingjoint4661]

I would’ve put African cichlids on the left and Americans cichlids on the right side.

[@jasonmillwood2893]

SMOKING JOINT those odd ball community fish are awesome! The 1,000 gallon is one of my favorite tanks they have and I’m a Central America fish keeper myself

[@scrubjay93]

Such regal fish with great personality🥰

[@jenniferreyes1065]

What a great way to start my day thank you. Love from Oregon

[@cichlidman559]

Once the 1000 gallon gets empted the frontosa should be put in there that would look stunning 😁🤩

[@HazedForDays]

Wow!! That African cichlid tank is looking damn fine!!! Can't wait to see it after you add those new guys (including that beautiful dragon blood). Sending respect from Canada!

[@jasonmillwood2893]

The Fronts look awesome, I like them in that short tank looking down on them, super cool

[@modotd3885]

Great job Josh. Love your ideas for the frontosa scape.

[@rojilawale9650]

I like the fact that the malawi trout is going to the bellagio tank

[@Renan_c]

My favorite fish ever!

[@benjaminsneller1592]

Love the videos always gives me a smile

[@84parsons]

Just looking so cool.

[@jamesdavies6342]

It looks like it has been really busy at OFR recently. It is interesting to see how everything gets juggled around to fit in new fish. What about Ohio Fish Rescue Lego😁

[@Timshady300]

Big fan of y’all keep up the good work💯💯

[@toddfisher5040]

Love every video keep up the good work guys!

[@santhavaraja3373]

The 1000 gallon looks amazing. I can't wait to see how these guys going to complement the tank.

[@lightninlarry8936]

That Frontosa in the 750 is now gonna have some friends :)

[@johnluciano5163]

I love Frontosa one of my favorite fish.

[@ryanhorner3605]

I used to own one he was definitely the prize fish in the tank

[@jeromehorn7333]

Those Frontosa make that 350 look small.

[@bennystropicalswimmigwolf8691]

very nice looking Zaire Frontosa. and Zambian Frontosa blue

[@matthewzito6130]

I really like the idea of a Frontosa tank. If I remember correctly, you mentioned possibly doing one a while back.

[@herpdiversity9152]

It would be awesome to see some frontosa go in the African cichlid tank

[@scottporter483]

I think the frontosa should go in the one of the bigger tanks on the oyher side of the pond 👍

[@Uslace]

The frontosa would look amazing in the 2nd bellagio

[@chrissprague5209]

This is the most impressive / coolest thing ive ever seen

[@chefcamsey1375]

Awesome video nice work guys

[@vinayvmware]

Wow! Beautiful colony that... i just hope la vaca doesn't go nipping at them... 🤞🤞 super job onve again Joshy 👏 👍

[@Bulik1970]

Those Frontosa will look good in the other Bellagio tank

[@larryseverence3124]

Simply put..you guys are amazing. I just scored a 200 gal, front's are on their way....always been a dream of mine and coming true very soon!

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

Congrats :)

[@stephandharley99]

Beautiful fish!!!

[@junelawrimore9567]

Love the mini tours!

[@reatreatseclusion9891]

Such beautiful fish, there so pretty love your idea for their tank. Lavarka probably bit pissed having them move in her space lol 😘

[@haterisinguponus2844]

Amazing colony, have a small colony of 7 in my 210. Hope my small colony becomes half of this one day.

[@IsabellaM._]

Wow,they're awesome.

[@thomasmeade4490]

This is such an amazing video thank you for sharing your experience i can never get enough ❤

[@jaquesnolte2228]

My first comment ever on you tube! Please put the fronts a in the second belaying tank! They deserve it! Please!!!

[@mukeshbhavsar9935]

Sir you are doing great work lots of love from INDIA

[@aquariumtreasures1054]

I'm impressed with how careful you are with all your fish big or small. I'm busy with one tank you have two full time jobs plus overtime with what's going on at you house. Keep up the great work.😁👍

[@brandonmays7345]

Frontosa in one of the bilagio tanks would be sweet

[@Selliis]

Love this and honestly think this colony is an amazing addition to the rescue and something that is a great educational fish for your purpose. The Frontosa are a major food source for the region they exist and keeping them as a representation of what they mean to their region in Africa is great learnings for those that come through the rescue. My only thought is I've come to understand that they are a deeper water fish so they might like a deeper tank and thrive with a solid dither fish swimming above them.

[@manny79hd]

Beautiful! I love Frontosa

[@JanieAmericanIrish7777]

Nice looking fish..👍

[@VetAquatics]

Man i love watching ya'lls videos. Awesome fish! Fronts are really an incredible thing to keep. Keep up the good work! I'm over in PA, id love to visit one day!

[@kasunbuddhika3966]

Keep up the good work

[@KGcichlids]

Gotta love me some Frontosa.

[@audrisampson]

That could turn into one of the prettiest tanks in the rescue.

[@vexatiouswind]

It's a good thing I don't live close to OFR... I would be going over there to grab the fish they are giving out and the fish tanks would take over my house LOL

[@shrisheel]

Angie C me too. I would be there so often that either BR would have to adopt me or hire bouncers to keep me out.

[@ihspstanktribe]

Guilty!

[@Cichlids23]

Sweet Champsochromis Caeruleus! one of my faves....

[@Bifkeki]

I like his shorts.

[@danielgroth3070]

I am Happy i found your channel😊😊👍 What a Loveley Pufferfish 😊😊😍😍❤️❤️❤️👍. Thank you for Helping all that fish😊😊😊😍😍❤️❤️

[@coreyklassic7208]

On those large tanks U could even put a few short plants in the front and even a few mixed into the high points in some or those corals, love the back drop of those massive tanks

[@bovibovi8285]

nice fish

[@Chul-su42069]

love your videos! all your tanks are amazing!

[@sharonduvall7286]

Beautiful fish🐟🐠🐡

[@danblendz6916]

That Malawi trout is that the 1 that gets huge

[@thatoneguy12986]

15+ inches

[@AllkoDH]

Can you do a video dedicated to the new malawi tank? I just want to watch them for few minutes.

[@dungguywilson1971]

Very very beautiful AFRICAN CICHLIDS BELLAGIO tank. I can't wait to see it when it gets all clear up Also those beautiful frantosa, please to put me on the waiting list for some of the smaller frantosa and African cichlids I will pay for the shipping and all expense to get them to me here in canada thanks and and as usual stay fishy my friend.

[@chadblocklinger3241]

Texas holey rock would look great with the frontosa

[@_MikeJon_]

Think that trout would look cool in the Bellagio tank!

[@pato7694]

That is a score. That’s got to be a grand worth of fish.

[@divemasteruk]

The champseechromis is a pursuit hunter, it will feed on the smaller Mbuna, you need to put the frontosa in the 1000

[@zafishguy5166]

Amazing simply cool. I love frontosa but people need space for these long term.

[@danblendz6916]

Should put them in with the Malawi’s set up they go well togeather I find

[@yashd3240]

Its not a rescue...🙄 Its a jackpot 🤩🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@scdecade]

It's the Frontosa Ponderosa :)

[@Ztifflarn]

58000 GALLON POND! THEY would looking awesome in there and it will be a nice colony in there. And prolly some snack also.

[@bestofsmall]

wow pretty fishies! I am thinking Vaca & Pittsburg must be the same sex as she doesn't seem to be bothering the other fish! Oh well it's all good 2 puffers are better than one! have a great week Josh & please can we get an update soon on the baby Koi? hugs to all prayers for Tracy

[@sean2freshmdsn]

That’s sooo many fronts

[@rjd210]

You need to put that Malawi trout in one of the 1800g tanks, he is cool.

[@rjd210]

I responded before the end of the video :)

[@TheJereware]

Omg!! I love frontosa! Please sign me up for one of the first batch of babies!!

[@passenger3]

This mans a legend 🙌

[@cdream8917]

Awesome!

[@Amanda-uc5jq]

I honestly don’t know how you put up with the crap some people say 🙄 Sounds like there are a lot of people out there who have quarantine tanks as large as their display tanks and the money to medicate twice the volume in said large quarantine tanks. Then there are those who assume because you are decorating it they must be staying there, would it be better for the fish to spend their time in quarantine without areas to hide in? According to some comments they haven’t thought about how it takes to quarantine fish or taken into account that most of your tanks run on one system and can’t be used for quarantine. Sheesh it’s not rocket science and it’s not hard to tell you do the right thing for your fish even converting your swimming pool to give them more room. I say great job guys and I don’t blame you for being tired and snappy. Best of luck from an Australian supporter

[@cyndicombs1419]

Awesome comment. I couldn't agree with you more.

[@ihspstanktribe]

Very well said! Agreed! 💜💜💜

[@haokieto0]

they only rescue big and beautiful fish. they are all show quality.

[@The-Grateful-Hippie]

Do you have issues with the fish jumping out of the open tanks? Also how do you keep the pH right for Cichlids on the multi tank full filtration system?

[@Chuck59ish]

The thing about being a rescue is that there is almost never anytime to rest and recharge your batteries for the next rescue. SFMF!

[@noahtramposh3350]

Maybe having them eye level in one of the tanks accross the pool at somepoint? Be easier to view and enjoy.

[@chrishofmann3028]

Hey Josh I've been keeping african cichlids for over 15 years. I would not give out any of those frontosa babies unless u tell them they are hybrids you have different locations of fronts in that tank. The deeper blue/purple look like a Zaire possibly Kapama location. The one you had previous and some of the ones that u just got have a solid stripe through the eye are the more common Burundi location which get a much large hump but not alot of blue colorarion. Also they are located in deep water and don't like alot of light and they do not do well with mbuna cichlids which are notorious for nipping at long fins. Mbuna need a diet more geared toward like spirlina and haps, frontosa can have some of that but are predators... hope this helps out

[@shrisheel]

wow. OFR should have you on call for African cichlid expertise.

[@rodrigomagalhaes9592]

The frontosas are going to the bellagio tank? The big ones...would be awesome !!!!

[@kristinawiggins2564]

Have you ever given some of your smaller fish to like fish stores to help with your numbers of fish to help make room if needed

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

not stores that resell but many schoolrooms, nursing homes, fire dept, public aquariums, ect
