Nice set up bro...Fishes looks healthy and u arranged the perfect aquacascape for them.
Now iam just waiting for Quinn's turn to show some updates in his classroom.

Great job Bro! Simple yet clean scape! I too love Mbuna and hope to one day go back to them as well. 👍🏽
Thank you, and love to hear it!
Couldn't go wrong with your stock choice! Going to be stunners! can't wait to see the progress
Can't wait either! Thanks for watching!
Great great job💪💪💪💪💪💪
Thanks for the welcome on your other video. Not me over here binging the channel.
That 220G is SICK!!!
I'm on the 2nd floor apartment of a business and can't tell you how envious I've become of those who have a basement for large heavy tanks.
I'm soon setting up my 40g hoping to condense my three 5G breeders (lol don't at me, I'm a tank maintenance beast w my small tanks)
I’d love to have a room like this. Beautiful ❤
I'm glad you bore from Tampa Bay Chiclids because I'm really close and I can pick them up I've heard some bad stuff about them so now this has reassured me that they're pretty decent , love you new tank
lol I love your guys edits and little clips....hilarious! Thanks for the update bro, love the new setup!
Haha thank you! Appreciate it
Love your big tank ,big fan of you guys 💯💪👍
Thanks for following along with the channel!
Beautiful aquarium !!
Thank you!
Very nice and great selection of fish 👍
Thanks 👍
Mannnnn i love your fishroom 😍
Thanks!
Looks beautiful😍
Thanks!
I see that you have many great tanks! Love Malawi. I got lake Tanganyika, it’s so nice.
Maybe you can put some detail stones near the bigger rocks. I have that as well, it makes the scape perfect, more natural.
Especially Dennerle River S, with Seiryu stones.
Greetings from Holland
I also have a large tank full of preditor haps can't get enough of them I also have a discus tank just real serenity
Awesome
Great job! 👍
Thanks!
Mann! Guy that loves fish and did 2 rush hour clips in a row for comedy!?!?!😂😂😂RESPECT
😂
Love the jalo reef. I had a mating pair. 15 yrs ago
They’re awesome!
Good job 👏 looks 👍
Thanks 👍
Nice rock work you made, Mbunas are fun fish. I have that 40G tank too, nice foot print. I just wish Aqueon made it into a 50G, 1-2 inches taller would be great, the current design has a squeeshed view.
Thank you! And agreed with that. Def would’ve done a 50 if they had it
Mabe 60 breeder
Dang I wish I could afford a setup like that in my family room
"Hiding somewhere" Also them being on the water line at the top of the 1 gallon tank
Welcome back to team mbuna. 😂
Haha, good to be back!
I've gotten all of my mbuna from tampa bay cichlids and was never disappointed, excellent customer service as well, where do you guys recommend getting shell dwellers? Want a 20 long with strictly shellies, thank you!
Awesome. Cichlid Shack, Cunningham cichlids, or Dave’s fish
That’s great! Nice set up. In your other videos. I wanted to ask what kind of pump do you guys use for your water changes, for pumping the water out. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you for following along! Here's the link to the pump, the Sicce Ultra Zero Pump: amzn.to/3ClfENH
@@CichlidBros Awesome. Thank you!
Always love y'all's videos!
What sand did you use in this tank?
Thanks! It’s Carib Sea Aragonite Sand - amzn.to/3HhDP0P
Really like your new tank, I definetly want to keep African Cichlids in a future aquarium, but as an ignorant on the african side of cichlids keeping i'm curious about the thing of overstocking, with this method don't you lose some of the interesting behaviours of cichlids? In the future will you explore also other regions of african cichlids? Like Taganiyka or West Africa
Nice I also have a 75g African chiclid tank. Just like you, my aquascape is kept to a minimum. I even got rid of my 3d background.
Very nice
Great fish room....do you have any links to the smaller open top tanks that you have in the room...would love to get something small like that.
Thanks! The shrimp tank is a Waterbox Clear 10. Can find it on their website!
Pls make 4K content if possible
Also, love the channel and content✨
Helps me as I keep mbuna in a 125 too🥳
Could you mix them with jewel cichlids and firemouth cichlids ?
Was wondering what heater you are using with this tank setup?
What kind of rocks did you use? Or where to buy them if you purchased them.. thanks
Can you tell me what kind of light you have on that? Thanks… looks awesome
Thanks! It’s a Asta 20 Aquarium Light: amzn.to/3x1aSDN
What kind of paint do you use to paint the glass ?
Where did you get the rocks?
Is that an aquatics fundamentals stand from Petco?
Just started my mbuna tank at christmas got 16 in a 55 gallon
Very nice
Great set up. I gotta a 75g in the living room but i have 36g bowed with mbuna in the bedroom. Dont really have the room to go 75g in bedroom so im wondering if going to a 40g breeder is still a worthy upgrade. I think it would be 6 inches longer, give me that 18 inch width but it would be a few inches shorter but i hear length is better than height for their swimming needs.
how many mbuna do you have in your 36 bowed?
@@colegleckler8464 I had about 10-12 in there.
They're all your favorite fish. Lmao
Haha pretty much
could've explained how it cycled so fast & showed us the inside of the filter! still can! thanks
What is the song you used in this video?
Where can we get the frame which you have put on the top and bottom of the aquarium,
He built he said
How strong is the wave maker on you Mr 40 gallon and do you ever turn it off?
It’s fairly light flow. Keep it running always. It’s the Sicce Voyager Nano - amzn.to/3I1SPn3
I have peacocks and haps in a 100 gallon I've got mbunas in a 90 and mbunas in the 60 mbunas the 29 gallon love the personality of mbunas better than the peacocks
Wondering what stand you are using
He said he made it
Would it be possible to keep the msobo deep in a 40 breeder as a colony?
Yep, it should. I’m going to upgrade this year since I got others along with it
Did you make any mods to the 110 hob?
Filter floss and bio balls
Do you have a lid on this tank or just the light over it?
Yeah there’s a glass lid
How much is the shipping and is it better then buying locally like is we online and is expensive to ship
This video should answer those questions! Why You Need to Order Aquarium Fish Online

Which light are u using?
Asta 20 Aquarium Light: amzn.to/3x1aSDN
The most cringe part of 'Gone in 60 Seconds' is Nik Cage doing that lol
That’s why I love it 😂
@@CichlidBros Great film, just makes me cringe up when he does that hahahah
what tank is this
Wut
I've been trying to figure out why I personally do not like the african cichlids and I think during this video it hit me. no plants. I love live plants and how important they are in the tank. and african cichlids are always scaped with just rocks. it's their scape I don't like! Is it really the only option with africans?
Mbuna would eat/destroy any plants
Can use limbs, wood (assuming PH considered). Can use fake plants, mod them. Move them around/cover the parts that look unnatural, but can be some work. Just a little bit helps it pop though, depending on the tank.
i wish i would have bought aquaclears earlier on in my fish keeping journey. I honestly don't care for the seachem tidals. The flow through the media is not as efficient as the aquaclear. Once fluval makes one with the motor inside the aquarium it's over.
The Jalo reef will breed like rabbits
That’s the hope
