Jesus this is the most informative fish video ive seen on UA-cam. I almost feel like I was sitting on class. Great job post more videos like this highly informative and enjoyable
I have a tank with both of these and i love watching them interact I have a 40g with tons of rocks, plants and wood and 4 lelupi 3 transcpritus 1 gold face compressiceps 1 rainbow shark 2 snowball pleco
I'm so digging the transcriptus!! What a super rare beauty! Very hard to get here in Pensacola FL unless you take out a mortgage to cover shipping cost and buy them online!
sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost my login password. I would love any assistance you can give me
@Zev Saint Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Very informative video and great looking fish and tank. I really like how you have the two species living and breeding in the same tank and the color differences between the two.
2:45 The World's Most Vicious Goldfish Leleupi can change color slowly, so if you give them a dark substrate they will become darker. I use white gravel in a 40 gallon breeder. Water much like yours, high pH.
Great effort here - however I would like to clear up one error. Julidochromis are found on the South West coast line as well. There several "Morphs" of Juli's found in Zambian waters. Just so you know.
New sub here :) wish I didn't have to work I want to watch a few more lol. Love the africans from this lake.Only problem I see is you need MORE CONTENT LOL
I surely wish you would tell us what plants you have sucess with in your aquariums. I have spawned both of these fish. The leleupei were in a 55 gal with a trio of neolamprologus brichardi and several large Haps. They held their own. The J. transscriptus started as group in a 20 long. After I removed the ones that had missing tails or other damage, the remaining pair became quite prolific.
Hello from 🇬🇧 . I have a spawning pair of Juli's. Tbe young are taking ages to get to a size where I can put them with my adult Dwarf Cichlids. I have been looking into getting Leleupi.
There’s something wrong with my juli. He schools with my cyprichromis and swims to the surface to get food or if he sees me. He’s almost never in his rocks.
Fantastic review of these fish and their behaviors. I can tell you this is one of the best review of these fish I have seen in a very long time. Are you still in the aquarium hobby? Are you going to do more fish videos, I noticed most are about a year old or so.... thanks for producing this video.
I am still in the hobby, just not to the extent I used to be. A move about a year ago meant that I had to tear down all my tanks to relocate. I have set most of them back up, but haven't made any aquarium videos since. I took a break from UA-cam for a while after moving and have just gotten back into it over the last month or so. I do still love the hobby and have plans for more aquarium videos soon.
@@BeastleyTV cool, I wish you the best in your new location and I subscribed just in case you come back to UA-cam. What state are located in? I am in S. Fla, not sure if you move to FL?
Did you raise your transcriptus from a group of juveniles to get them to put up or vent adults and put them together? I’ve heard if they don’t pair up they don’t breed. Is that true?
Right now I have a leleupi in my 40 gallon with 5 Shellies and about 6 Julie melierie. He seems to be somewhat nippy towards the Shelly's. I think he needs more caves.
Would this stock work for a 36 gallon, since you seem knowledgable in Lake Tanganyika cichlids. 8 Multies 2 Calvus (Will keep multies population under control) 2 Masked Julies
The Julies and the Calvus May clash if there’s not plenty of rock work for them to claim as there own. If you were to do this, I’d recommend doing big rock formations on opposite sides of the aquarium and shells in the middle to keep clear separation of territory. It would be much easier in a larger tank, but it would be very difficult to keep that arrangement in a smaller tank.
There are several variables such as tank size to take into account, but in general, as long as they each have their separate territories, they should be fine.
@@BeastleyTV Well, thanks. My tank isnt big 60 litres, (yes, i know it may sound to small) but at least i will try to give them as many hiding spots as i can. Eventually i will replace one species with Neolamprologus Buescheri
First off let me start by saying I found your videos to be extremely informative. I recently got 2 Lake Tanganyika fish, I would appreciate it if you could check my channel out and veiw my last post to possibly give me some tips. I hope that you be putting out more contact in the future
Yeah. It would be nice if you could mix and match. I had the male leleupi in a peacock tank while he was growing out, and all was fine for a while. Once he got to his adult size he became a real jerk and had to be moved. Definitely not advised.

Great video! Very good images and explanation, with a clear english and a quiet voice (not the usual hysterical shouting). Congrats!
Leulupis have a very inquisitive personality. Great fish to watch.
I have a tank with both of these and i love watching them interact I have a 40g with tons of rocks, plants and wood and
4 lelupi
3 transcpritus
1 gold face compressiceps
1 rainbow shark
2 snowball pleco
We use Java Moss and some short Jungle Val. The Lelupi seem to love it. The fry pick off the java moss so good for filtration an food.
I'm so digging the transcriptus!! What a super rare beauty! Very hard to get here in Pensacola FL unless you take out a mortgage to cover shipping cost and buy them online!
Lots of info good stuff!
Very well directed video and info. Thanks
Beautiful tank.
Awesome looking tank.. thank you.. I used to have all those fish from Tanganyika.. I worked at a fish store Atlantis Tropical Fish.. a lot of fun
Just bought a Male leulupi and male Juli. Thanks to you! I'll hopefully get some female Leulupi in a couple of days.
Congrats! I hope they do well for you. I'm sure you will enjoy them.
My leleupi pair had produced their first batch of eggs today. I feel so proud that I've successfully bred these beautiful fish. Love your video!👍👌

@Zev Saint It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Rudy Kevin no problem =)
love the video good info keep up the good work I subscribed ✌

Thank you
very cool man just subscribed to you very nice cichlids
Thank you very much! You've got a nice channel yourself!
Very informative. Subscribing.
New sub here :) wish I didn't have to work I want to watch a few more lol. Love the africans from this lake.Only problem I see is you need MORE CONTENT LOL
Great job on the video. Subbed
Brian Meehan Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! More videos coming soon.
Beastley Aquatics that's what I wanted to hear ;)
I purchased 2 julis for my shell dweller tank to try and control the amount of shellie fry...unfortunately the shellies are the boss
Great video!! What is the size of the tank that you're using in this setup?
I surely wish you would tell us what plants you have sucess with in your
aquariums. I have spawned both of these fish. The leleupei were in a 55 gal with a trio of neolamprologus brichardi and several large Haps. They held their own.

Got a 4 in masked Julidochromis..
Hello from 🇬🇧 .
I have a spawning pair of Juli's. Tbe young are taking ages to get to a size where I can put them with my adult Dwarf Cichlids. I have been looking into getting Leleupi.
Just got some in, there down at the bottom of the tank breathing heavily, any thoughts on as to why?
There’s something wrong with my juli. He schools with my cyprichromis and swims to the surface to get food or if he sees me. He’s almost never in his rocks.
Lelupi😍
Do leleupi dig substrate? Is it suitable to keep them in a 3 foot tank?
Is it possible to cross breed the two? Sort of like how many of the African cichlids do. Just curious because of their similar body shape and needs
Fantastic review of these fish and their behaviors. I can tell you this is one of the best review of these fish I have seen in a very long time. Are you still in the aquarium hobby? Are you going to do more fish videos, I noticed most are about a year old or so.... thanks for producing this video.

I'm in Texas. Thanks for the sub!
Cool, I lived in Lewisville in the late 80's, near Dallas.
julidos so friendly fishes.
Is safe to add leleupis to a tank of J. marlieri? The tank is 150 × 50 x 50 cm, they are 9 juvenile marlieri. How many leleupis can live here?
Are these two pair in a 37 gallon? I was thinking of this combination in a 40 breeder
Did you raise your transcriptus from a group of juveniles to get them to put up or vent adults and put them together? I’ve heard if they don’t pair up they don’t breed. Is that true?
My neo is pretty pale what does that mean?
What kind of rock is that and where can I get it
will the Julie and leleupi interbreed?
🤠👍🏻👍🏻
I tried a pair in a 20L it didn't work. They had babies an then the male tried to kill the female. Not enough space.
What would you say is the hardiest plant to have with Africans.. Haven't had much luck with the plants ive used without them nipping them.
Could I keep a pair of leleupi in a 20 gallon tank along with 4 shell dwellers?
John Spencer I think a 20 may be a bit small. When the male lelupi is Max size it could cause some trouble for the shellies.
Right now I have a leleupi in my 40 gallon with 5 Shellies and about 6 Julie melierie. He seems to be somewhat nippy towards the Shelly's. I think he needs more caves.
Would this stock work for a 36 gallon, since you seem knowledgable in Lake Tanganyika cichlids.
8 Multies
2 Calvus (Will keep multies population under control)
2 Masked Julies
The Julies and the Calvus May clash if there’s not plenty of rock work for them to claim as there own. If you were to do this, I’d recommend doing big rock formations on opposite sides of the aquarium and shells in the middle to keep clear separation of territory. It would be much easier in a larger tank, but it would be very difficult to keep that arrangement in a smaller tank.
I would like to keep one masked julie and one leleupi in one tank. Do you think they will fight?
There are several variables such as tank size to take into account, but in general, as long as they each have their separate territories, they should be fine.
@@BeastleyTV Well, thanks. My tank isnt big 60 litres, (yes, i know it may sound to small) but at least i will try to give them as many hiding spots as i can. Eventually i will replace one species with Neolamprologus Buescheri
How large is your tank?
This is a 29 gallon tank and still going strong at least 3 years later with no aggression issues to speak of.
I got julidochromis with brichardi and the largest brichardi makes all the julidochromis stay on one side. Hes about 4.5 inches.. A Butthead
frist

its a shame they cant be with my peacocks
Yeah. It would be nice if you could mix and match. I had the male leleupi in a peacock tank while he was growing out, and all was fine for a while. Once he got to his adult size he became a real jerk and had to be moved. Definitely not advised.
will 10-15 peacocks be ok in a 240L fluval roma 240 i think its 70G
Savage Swift Should be fine. I've got about 10 in my 75gal currently and it's a little light on the stocking.
what filter do you use
Savage Swift on the 75gallon peacock/hap tank, I have a SunSun canister filter that's rated for around 150 gal as well as a penguin 350 HOB filter.
