What I do to prepare for new spawns and a calvus re-aquascape!

Those black calvus are stunning!

[@JasonsCichlids]

Cheers mate, love their shape and iridescent spots!

Them Black Adults are Gorgeous 😍

Cheers mate, one of my favourite fish in the entire room!

A fish room which dreams are made of. Awesome. 👍

[@JasonsCichlids]

Thanks heaps Simon. I honestly dreamt of having a fish room since I was about 13. So it is really a dream come true for me.

[@TripleJAquatics]

Another great one!

[@JasonsCichlids]

Cheers mate

Them calvus are "Tiny" really cool though man !!! Love it

[@JasonsCichlids]

They sure are, I love seeing them like that and swimming around together.

[@CraigersFish]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise!!!

[@JasonsCichlids]

Not a problem, I am by no means an expert! Just sharing my personal experiences with my fish. Glad you enjoy it mate!

[@jonsage5486]

You’re the go too Calvus Expert on the planet….take a bow…..stunning fish…..Great informative vids

[@JasonsCichlids]

Haha thanks Jon, I definitely am not an expert, just sharing what I have experienced with them. Hopefully helps someone out there! Love calvus so much that they are my channel logo 😁

[@jonsage5486]

@@JasonsCichlids been a help to me….I’m sitting on 2 pairs who have both spawned babies. More by luck than anything else though.

[@ciclidamente2800]

Hello Jason, you are now ready to spread your Jasonchromis Calvus all over Australia. Look forward to see your next videos on these magnificent dark flamboyant fish

[@JasonsCichlids]

Haha cheers Matteo. Jasonchromis sounds like a type of illness 🤣

[@dennisruedel]

Hi Jason, I wanted to let you know that I have been a subscriber for. the last 7-8 months and I really enjoy your channel.it’s really too bad that that there doesn’t seem to be that many hobbyists that enjoy iTanganyikans as much as we do. Keep up the great work buddy…

[@JasonsCichlids]

G'day mate, thanks for subscribing and supporting my channel for so long. Really appreciate that! It is a shame that there aren't many other Tanganyikan channels but hopefully this channel can help put them in the spot light a little more! They really are underrated fish!

[@troyhutchinsii4543]

Thanks for the Calvis update. As someone who keeps black calvises and orange comps it's nice to see anything on them. I use tank water too for my garden. Garden update?

[@JasonsCichlids]

No worries Troy, I like giving updates on them and I am a little "calvus heavy" on my channel haha but they are my fave fish so hard not to be a little bias towards them. Good that you're using your aquarium water on your garden mate, it would love ya for it. But as for a garden update from me? Hmmm probably not as I don't really have anything interesting to show you guys.

[@edspicknupcichlids7506]

I always use a hose to remove my Tanganyikan fry especially those in a shell! Either an airline hose or 1/4” flexible hose.

[@JasonsCichlids]

Yeah that is a good way to catch them quickly. I have used that method for catching my Neolamprologus tretocephalus fry out of their parents tank.

[@mraquaticnews5676]

Thanks Jason

[@JasonsCichlids]

Cheers mate

[@passenger3]

Good video jase 👌🏻 I'm nearly there with my 9x3 Tanganyika wall to wall build. I'll put a video up once done for you to check it out 👍

[@JasonsCichlids]

Cheers Nick. That tank is gonna look amazing! Definitely share the link with us when you do a video on it!

[@passenger3]

@@JasonsCichlids definitely will mate 👍

[@paulhunt2888]

Great vlog as usual Jason. Just love this Calvus fry Can I ask you where you get your large shells from? Cheers 😊

[@JasonsCichlids]

Cheers Paul, same here, great seeing them in large schools like that. I got the shells from my Cichlid Club. But they are called Ton shells.

[@DavidDK1975]

Nice video Jason...which variant of black calvus are those?? there are few types of black calvus right??

[@JasonsCichlids]

Cheers mate, unfortunately I don't know what variant they are. But yes there are numerous different variants

[@АндрейБутковский-ц6ж]

Thanks, Jason. What's the capacity of the aquarscape? 😊

[@JasonsCichlids]

They are just over 100L tanks. 60cm X 60cm X 40cm 👍

[@MakoyUnggoy]

I didn't realise how yellow the Calvus fry are, they look like tiny Comps!

[@JasonsCichlids]

They are more of a brownish colour actually. They looked more yellow because of the torch I used to light the aquarium just for the video and my phone camera tends to saturate yellows. But yeah they definitely not that yellow!

[@מוותלנאציזעתים]

What is the breeding age?

[@JasonsCichlids]

At least 2 years
