    Thanks Jason! You have really opened my eyes on how cool cichlids can be! I always thought they were all big aggressive fish and wasn’t interested in that at all. But you have really helped me learn to appreciate some of the smaller, calmer cichlids in your tanks. My next tank will definitely be a cichlids tank. And I didn’t realize that our naturally hard water is something they would thrive in! Right now I lug 5 gallon RO water bottles from the store every week for water changes.
    The thought of using tap water (treated for chloramine) for a tank, and having that be perfect for cichlids is a game changing idea for me! And now with some options for planted tanks, I’m even more sold!
    Thanks for all of the great education you are doing on these neat fish!

      As long as you don’t care about them breeding you could mix the rock dwellers - the shell dwellers might be tough with them because they tend to push other fish away with fry in their shells. I always use bristlenose plecos in my lake Tanganyika tanks and never had an issue as long as they have rock work to hide in.

I have there some jungle val, higrophylas, nimphoides and some sp taiwan. Luckily, they don´t dig much.... but maybe I had some luck with this pair. Great hug from Argentina!!!

    Would a 30 gallon tank be too small to plant up and keep a pair of apistogramma cacatuoides triple red, a pair of german blue ram, one pair of fairy cichlid, one angel pair, one checker board cichlid, one pair of the ones in this video that are black and white and look like little snakeheads (what are they called?), cories, and some snails and shrimps? Would they all have similar water requirements and get along together? If not, which of those would you put in a 30 that would be a good balance of color and activity?

    • @PrimeTimeAquatics
      @PrimeTimeAquatics  11 місяців тому

      You could keep the Lake Tanganyika fish together, but maybe just chose one Julidochromis to avoid hybridization. With the rest I'm not sure I would try to combine them all. While most of the fish I suggested really aren't very aggressive, sometimes the fact that they are similar in color and size may cause some issues. There's a chance it could work, but if it doesn't you'd probably want a back up plan.

May I ask, if there is a cichlid, that you would highly recommend that I can keep in a 35 gallon up until the moment those fish die of old age? I would want it to be planted too. I will plant, Dwarf sagittaria, brown and green Cryptocoryne , and Cryptocoryne wrinkled. Do you think, it is plausible to keep a cichlid specie tank in a 35 gallon with deep substrate and these plants (I mentioned above)?

    Dios te bendiga y Dios bendiga a Todos los que estan leyendo esto! Deseo que tengan un hermoso dia! Buscad a Dios mientras pueda ser hallado! Jesus es el camino y el unico camino y regresa pronto! Recuerda cuando te sientas que no eres amado... el mayor sacrificio se hizo por amor! EL SUICIDIO NUNCA ES LA RESPUESTA!
    Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna.
    S. Juan 3:16 RVR1960
    La paga del pecado es muerte (infierno) pero Cristo pagó nuestra deuda en la cruz para nuestra salvacion! Debemos volvernos a Dios y apartarnos de nuestros caminos pecaminosos, confesar que Jesús es el Señor y creer con nuestro corazón que fue resucitado de entre los muertos por Dios, y debemos de ser bautizados en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo y vivir por Su palabra y mandamientos! Confia que Dios ayudara con el resto!
    Busca a Dios, antes de que sea muy tarde! Hoy podria ser tu ultimo dia en la tierra!
    Que tengas un hermoso dia!

    Most of Tanganyikan cichlids are not suitable for planted tanks due to their water parameter needs. Sorry you are giving misleading info. Especially your featherfin tank is too small for them and you have very wrong decoration for them. They need base area, fine sand and some big rock piles for holding/hiding females. I always keep them as 1m/4-5f with some diher fish like cyprichromis ( if tank height is more than 50cm)

      I've had zero issues keeping plants in tanks perfectly suited for Tanganyikan fish (as you can see by lots of the videos I have done). My feather fins are in a 125 gallon tank (the ones I showed were not mine, but were in a smaller holding tank and in some else's fish room).

      @@PrimeTimeAquatics Prime Time Aquatics Valisneria is ok if it doesn't cover the base, some anubias or java fern like plants are also ok between or on rocks but that's all. I'm also keeping O.nasuta and C.foai in my fish room. Those guys only need sand and rock. Lamprologini type cichlids are more suitable for planted decoration.
