Young African Cichlids Meet THE BIG BOYS - (210G)

Adding New African Cichlids to tank can be a disaster if not done right. African Cichlids have a hierarchy in the tank and if not done properly your new fish can quickly fall victim to the others aggression.

[@Agentshadowolf]

When you do your water change I notice you put the Prime in the tank before adding the water, I thought you were suppose to de-chlorinate the water first before adding it into the tank.

[@yorkaquariums1840]

Hey Kav! Absolutely great information! I was given a whole tank (50 gal) set up over a year ago & kept it storage. I always had fish when I was kid (70’s), none of the great products they have today! Lol My cousin built my filters & we did old school tank cycling. I don’t know how I kept them alive! 😬😂 Doing research I fell down a rabbit hole & came across your channel. You are thorough and straight up. I was interested in cichlids and after watching a lot of your vids - freshwater tank and cichlids it is. I’m starting out with 4 African and a rescued plecos. So far so good just dealt with an ammonia spike & grateful for your vid on that! Please keep up the Great work!

I used to have 3, as 1 of them was just a polishing filter. I now only run 2 and water is always crystal clear 😊 If you're having issues with cloudy water get my book before adding another filter. It will definitely be helpful! and much cheaper lol - bit.ly/clearH2O

What is the difference & benefits of Seachem stress guard & stress coat?

[@KaveManAquatics]

API stress coat is primarily a de-chlorinator but also helps with the fishes slime coat which is good for stress. Stress guard is not a de-chlorinated, its only for stress but its much more stronger and concentrated than api stress coat.

My albino African cichlids died the other day for no reason and my water is good and all the other fish are fine

[@danrude5418]

I am settling up my 125g again. I have lost about 8 fish to just dieing. They are just fine until I find them dead. I check the tank within the day of finding them and all is good. The youngest one was only 2 weeks old from the store. The others were 3-6 weeks from the store. The all from PerSmart, I usually buy the assorted juveniles when starting up my tanks. So I expect some attrion, but even now I think it is high. So keep watching them and checking the water and your filter. Also check your food. I am adding Alge wafers to mine now.. I just got a new batch last 🌙. And will be cleaning the Fx4 and my HOT Magnum today. Good luck.

Question: unfortunately I couldn’t fix the seal issues with an older model fluval canister filter so I purchased a The marineland polishing filter - fully submersible & supposed to handle up 97 gallon tank. If you don’t mind me asking here- Have you heard of it & what’s your thoughts on submersible filters? It also creates a great current really moves the water & I can adjust it to flow up, down, left or right. I am still going to put in a wave maker though.

I have a forza 13 with uv filter (established and came with) and an fx6 as well (will need cycled) taking some water from my wifes 125 that we are taking down and moving to get my 125 going. so it is a semi established tank. I see that you want to add as many as possible at first to try and curb aggression and also don't keep repeating the pecking order. On the other side you put to many fish in you spike the ammonia and crash the system. I know there are so many varying factors which is why I gave you so much information. what is your suggestions as far as the first group of fish. and then adding others safely in the future?

Hey KaveMan ! My tank swap from my 20 gal tall to the 36 bow front went great ! Thank you for the advise on how to help switch it and chemicals to add and when to add them. I have another question I was recently given the pineapple from spongebob as decoration for the tank. But have recently found out it’s bad for the tank and releases chemicals in it due to the paint chipping. Is this true? I’ve tried googling it and some say it’s okay and some say it’s really bad. I removed it just in case

Hi Kev, where did you find the clip that you use on your bucket to hold your hose? Thank you

[@Crivas286]

Most of the hoses come with one but not all do.

Dope.. when did you get your OB Taiwan Reefs? And what size did you buy them at? I just got my 2 “2.5”-3” guaranteed male” Taiwan reef OBs 2 weeks ago from SRC and I can tell they are males by their egg spots and they are just starting to show little glimmer of blue in their faces, but I heard they take a long time to grow and color up. Yours looks like like it’s already starting to show color so how long have you had it and how long did it take for it to start coloring up like that

[@KaveManAquatics]

I got them at about 1" 3 months ago...now theyre at about 3-3.5. the one male got color quick. The other 3 have to be females because they have 0 color, especially compared to the other guy

[@kodadavis6184]

Look very similar to mine, you get them from SRC as well?

[@kodadavis6184]

@@KaveManAquatics and what do you do to make them grow so fast? I got my first order from SRC about 4-5 months ago at 1.5”-2” and they are only about 2.5” maybe 3” so far and arnt really showing much color yet and seem like they are growing super slow
