African Cichlid Tank Species List - All My Fish (And Where I Got Them)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Its difficult to identify a fish you've seen on a UA-cam video. Since so many have asked about my African Cichlid Tank I figured it would be a great help to identify my boys so you guys can spot a few that you like and have the info available.
My African Cichlids are a mix of Peacocks and Haps from lake Malawi.
Even though they are all tank raised I attempt to mimic their natural waters as much as possible by keeping the proper PH and temperature for my boys to thrive!

Want to learn how to keep your very own African Cichlids? It's not as hard as you think, let me teach you
👉 kavemanaquatics.com/keeping-african-cichlids/
Thank you !!! I love learning from your videos. ☺️
Shortly after I started my tank in August, I almost gave it up because I got frustrated with trying to curb the aggression between my Peacocks specifically. But I’ve learned a lot watching your videos and I can now say that I am enjoying the ride!!!
Btw: the addition of my Blood Parrot made a huge difference. HaHa 🤣 He is the official Ring Leader of the whole tank!! Who would’ve thought
@@LeslieF0330 Sorry I missed this comment! UA-cam doesnt do a great job of notifying me. I'm so glad to hear that you didn't give up and that my videos where able to help you find the joy in the hobby we all have! 😁😁
What size is your tank?
Did your rocks brake down and are they from Petsmart
I was left with my sons tank of African Cichlids.....but I had no idea how to care for since I have never had fish tank! Your channel helped my sanity & education, as well as a clean beautiful tank with all fish alive & well!!! Who knew how easy it is to be enticed!!! FYI: My son was amazed at the care of tank & fish....even was able to teach him some new things....All credit goes to you!
😁 Thats awesome! So glad I was able to help you keep that tank healthy and happy! 😊💪
Fantastic channel. Watched most of your videos and I'm in the process of setting up a 75 gallon based on all your recommendations. Thank you for making this video as i have paused so many of your videos to see what you have in your tank! Anyway.....just wanted you to know how much we all appreciate your knowledge and professional videos.
Thanks Mike, really appreciate that positive feedback!! 💪💪
Great video as always. I am now a member of your channel.

I have been waiting for this video for a long time with good luck👏👏♥️
Hope it was worth the wait 😊
@@KaveManAquatics of course ♥️
Just placed my first Snake River order today. Thanks Brother. I’ve been admiring you fish for some time now. 💪🏽
Thank bro! Congrats on your new fish!! 😊
Great Episode Kev!
Thank you bro! Glad you enjoyed it!
Gordo is my favorite! 💗 He makes sure u get him on camera every time! He's such a beautiful fish! 🐟
Yea he’s definitely the camera hog lol
Great video Kev!!! Thanks again for sharing info about your boys. They look great. I'm still waiting to get my first guys for my tank but I'm going American cichlids. After following you I pretty much know that I'll be doing an African cichlid tank in the future. Again awesome video my brother!!!
Thanks bro, Glad I inspired you to one day get some African Cichlids!
Love your video's, i had african cichlids years ago but did not know half the things you put out on video. Thanks so much for all the info!
My pleasure bro! And thanks for joining and becoming a member! I appreciate the support! 😊💪
No one:
Kev: “I’m thirsty, let me grab a cup of water from my CRYSTAL clear tank while I’m here”
BAHAHA shhh, dont tell anyone LOL
Just ordered the hap/peacock packages from Snake River Cychlids along with a few OB's. Thanks for all the help Kev
That’s awesome! Congrats on your new guys! 😊
I really like the ob cichlids they are really pretty and a color pop you have some beautiful fish thank you for sharing.
Thank you Bro! I love my OB’s too 😁
Thank you for this! I’m just learning. Really enjoying the fish!
Glad you enjoy it! Heres a great beginners playlist you'll find helpful too - ua-cam.com/play/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er.html
Just picked up 13 new juvey males for my 125 from Snake River... they're a bit pricy but since I bought so many and dropped your name, they gave me a discount. Never hurts to ask! I think I know which fish you're missing; a lethrinops... (I prefer Oculatus, Kande, or Marginatus). They are some of the most colorful I've ever seen and your friends at Costal have a nice Oculatus. I want to get a venustus for my 125, but I'm worried about size and aggression. Thank you again for all you do. LETS GO!!
Thats awesme! Glad you got the discount from them and thanks for shouting me out as well! Ive got a beautiful Oculatus myself 😊 A venustus can be hit or miss, my boy is a big softy, doesn't bother anyone and he's one of the biggest in my tank
@@KaveManAquatics That's right! Your vid (Unboxing African Cichlids - Surprise Package With Studs (Part 1)), it was the first fish you unboxed. How is it doing? After saying that, I had to have one also LOL
@@clint7183 Hes doing awesome! Already part of the family 😁
Crazy that when I need a refresher or a reason to remain excited about the hobby I have to go look at everyone's old videos lol.
Hey, whatever works bro! 😁💪
Let’s Gooo!! Great information!!
Question: when you are saying juvenile what size is that compared to your lager ones?
Thanks bro, a juvenile can be from 2-4" ...My adults are all 5"+
Great video Kev! Very informative.
Thanks, Glad you liked it!
Great 👍 Video once again:) like I said Aquatic Hall of Fame is Coming your way Signed up for the course, Bout to get My Haps and Peacocks today and for the first time will be up and Running 🏃♂️; The Course is coming at the right time for me 😎🥳🐠🐠🐠🐟🐟🐠🐠🐡🐡Now With the live Chat on the list also I got my note 📝 book 📚 ready .

We’ve got a lot of the same fish to include the parrot, dope as always.... “let’s go” 👍🏿
Awesome!! 💪💪
Hi im new to fish keeping and i was wondering how you manage to keep them together since they like difrent ph. Im asking because i love the look of this combo.
Kave your a real one. I just bought a 10 gallon for my 5 year old with a couple tetras and Gouramis. But now I’m starting to get into it. About how many cichlids can you have in a 55 gal tank?
Thanks bro, you can go for 8-12 in a 55 depending on their size 👍
I really like your videos,im a newbie in aquarium hobby and I found your videos really helpful.
I really want to have african cichlids community tank because of your videos.
I just started with my 3 small cichlids in my 10 gallon tank.
Great videos
Keep it up.
Have been looking for this vedio thanks and à big like 👍
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁
@@KaveManAquaticsthanks to you I am about to buy African chiclid I bought 350 L aquarium I like the colorful ones as I understood from your channel the peacock are the most colorful when they are male , mubuna male also .
Please confirm this information?
Also please tell me can I mix them?
The hab are also colorful but grow big so not for 350 L aquarium!!
Thanks
My son as just started a male peacock tank. They’re beautiful fish
I agree! Welcome to the African Cichlid world!! 😊💪
@@KaveManAquatics I’m new to peacocks, but I breed pseudotropheus saulosi (mbunas) and keep multis (shell dwellers)
Ok nice! I’m hoping to get into breeding myself 😊
Amazing collection Kave
Thank you bro!
I just purchased those same resin rocks. What are your thoughts about how hollow they are andthe stagnant water inside of them that may cause water quality issues? Also would you recommend filling them with Pond Foam, sand, Quikrete or concrete? Or just let them be? Great channel!
Love your videos, your tank is what inspired me to get cichlids.
Thank you Kev! Glad I could inspire! 😊💪
Btw, hope you can make it to the next Live Stream this Saturday morning! Set your reminder here - ua-cam.com/video/VtjonOoHSZE/v-deo.html
Hey Kev
Great video as always
I just bought 4 Cichlids
Can you tell me when it’s the best time to put them in my community tank ?
Thanks Man ! ✊🏽
What kind of cichlids? And what’s in your community tank? And how long has it been up and running?
Now that I have moved from American cichlids to African, I'm really enjoying your channel!
Where did you get that red empress from? Top of my list, and yours is unreal.
Awesome! You’re going to love them. It’s been so long I don’t remember where I got him from. But check my shop under “fish” for all the guys I use.
@@KaveManAquatics I use imperial a lot, just ordered Friday a Fryeri from them.
I think I'm going to get a blue dragon blood, and red empress from snake river cichlids.
Amazing Video!!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Venustus!! My favourite fish!
😊💪
Beautiful fish kev keep up the good work👍🏼
I have most of these in my 90
Such beautiful tank and fish. Where did you get those plastic rocks that are stacked?
Local Petsmart
having to put you in my top 5...keep up it!!
Thanks! Appreciate that 😊💪
Beautiful selection of fish. Dont worry i think most of us from time to time name some of our fish. I have a Dwarf gourami named Jane
lol thanks! 😊
Awesome video Kev. I always enjoy your content. By the way, what type of rocks are in that tank?
Thanks. Fake rock. Check them out here - kavemanaquatics.com/product-category/decor/
Man Kev thanks for sharing bro!!! I could watch that tank for days on end. If you ever run out of names feel free to name one after me, because if I was a fish I'd want to live in one of your tanks fosho!!! Have a blessed week and thanks again for the great work and time you always spend making awesome content for us
lol Bro I literally LOL 🤣 Since you always leaving great positive feedback I'll let you pick one. If hes un-named then you got it bro! 💪
Lol... what about that little White Knight, he definitely looks like a Darth!!!! You can leave the Blunt off if you like, we're casual down here in Kev's fishroom!!! Best UA-camr ever hands down!!!
You're right he does...Darth it is bro! He's born! 😊💪
@@KaveManAquatics my new favorite fish in your tank! Thanks Kev you rule!!!
Cool information I suggest a freeze frame to highlight each fish
Thanks bro, and thanks for the tip!
Keep doing the great Work, Muchas Bendiciones 🙏🏼
Thank you bro! 😊
Great video man! This was well worth the wait! Is it normal for some of them to have a super slight upwards curve on their belly? I just did a 2 week treatment for internal parasites following your method and am paranoid they might not have gone away. All poop looks good though now.
Thanks bro, usually that curve on the belly is sunken belly which indicates internal parasites. If you noticed my guy flava flave has a sunken belly as well but hes just coming off a round of medication. But yea, Keep an eye on the poop and make sure they arent spitting out food. They should fatten up soon.
Great video man I've been looking for this exact topic of knowing the types of Cichlids u got thanks for this info and yeah i just joined the waiting list as well keep up the great work.
Awesome! Thanks for joining! Glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
2 Quick question is it true the more other fish u have per Mbunas the less aggressive they will be, and my other question is how big will your pleco get because I was wanting to add 1 in my 65 gallon along with 13 other fish 1 including a 2inch silver catfish
@@darrellbinford9756 they don’t get less aggressive technically, you just help to motivate the aggression by having more fish. But yes, overstocking helps.
A common pleco can grow bigger than 12”+...I have a bristlenose pleco that only grows to about 5-6”
@@KaveManAquatics ok thanks thats what I'm currently doing now gradually adding more cichlids to the tank and a bristlenose pleco is the right size 1 I need nothing any bigger than that, preciate it man..
Love love Gordo!! You gave him proper press!! He is adorable. 😍
Thanks! 😊
Great video as usual! Thanks for the tour. I noticed your polar blue is missing. Did he stay in your 75? Also where are the clown loaches now? Sorry for the shake down - I'm just curious! 😊
lol No problem, I unfortunately recently lost my guy to swim bladder. It was hurtful to see him go! 😟 The clown loaches are still in the 75 grow out tank but growing quickly. They'll be in the main 210 in no time.
@@KaveManAquatics I'm so sorry to hear that. Like you say, it's all part of the hobby! Looking forward to seeing some big ol' loaches in the 210!
Me too! They taking their time growing though...but when they get big they get BIG!
Incredible fish and impeccable water! Are you polishing? If so, with what? I just bought a Fluval 207 and set it up in my 110 Cichlid tank as a polishing filter.
I may have to take the direction you took by replacing my substrate because now that I have my water dialed in, they are nesting/digging and it clouds up the water somewhat.
Yes I have 3 FX6 on here, 1 is for straight polishing. Course sponges on sides, all polyfil in the center trays, with chemi pure blue and purigen in the bottom tray. Clean it out monthly. Other 2 filters go 4 months till cleaning.
Planning on making a video about using a filter specifically for polishing only.
3 FX6 filters is a great reason why your water is so incredible. And I also know how militant you are with your water changes!😉
Of course now I am thinking I should have gone with something bigger than a 207 for polishing, but I am not using polyfill yet, only standard Fluval pads. It will get loaded with polyfill on the next cleaning.
Thanks for sharing and helping us old timers get a little bit better at this hobby!
My pleasure, Glad I'm able to help out the veterans as well!
Great vid bro. How do you keep algae from growing on your sand?
I keep 1 pleco in my tank. He takes care of any and all algae growth 😊
Thats the most beautiful tank i have seen.
Is there a reason you dont keep mbuna tank Kev?
Thanks for sharing the names..
Thanks bro! No specific reason...one day I’m sure I’ll have an mbuna tank as well! 😊😊
Great video I can't wait to put my tank back together
Thanks! Glad you liked it 😊
That Flavascent on his last breath. Tank is dope though!
He had a long hard battle with internal parasites, passed away months later.
Someone please get this mane to 30k subs for all the good works his putting in on UA-cam
HAHAHA, We’re on the way bro!! 😊💪😊💪
great videos made me have to clean my tank!
lol, Glad I could inspire 🤣
Brother you are awesome 🤩
Thank you bro! Appreciate you!
All your aquarium
Fantastic
Neat
Clean
Crystal clear
And fished
Omg
Beautiful
🐬🦈🐟
😊😊 Thanks! Appreciate the positive feedback. 💪
@@KaveManAquatics welcome
Love the videos! Keep it up
Thanks! Will do!
Awsm setup bro , i love it 👍, i just want to ask which soil / Substrate r u using in this aquarium??
Thanks bro, I use the carib sea fuji pink...its linked in the description
You should add a male Ruby Red Peacock and get some real red color in there!
Kev, great videos! I'm curious where you got those huge artificial rock formations, I'd like to get one for my cichlid tank.
Thanks! Found them at my local Petsmart 😊
¡Wow great video VERY helpful Kev!
Thanks! Glad to hear it!
Hey, great video! Thanks so much! Do you find the peacocks to be more colorful then mbunas? What made you choose peacocks and haps?
Its just personal preference, Mbunas are awesome too
What is your all time best food you feed your cichlids? I love your content! Keep it up! 👍🏽
Thanks bro, check this out - ua-cam.com/video/r6_D2pUtAng/v-deo.html
Great video Kev !. Ive been looking to find a video like this with just the simple names. Also i only have mbunas now but could i get away with having them togheter with peackocks in 75 gallon ?.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I wouldnt mix mbunas with peacocks. They have different diets, temperaments, decor needs...It could be very troublesome.
I have three Mbunas in a 65gallon with 9 other cichlids so far its been good, this was before I knew the info about them that I know now, but so far so good 🤞🏾
Yea fingers crossed bro 🤞 Good luck!
hey is it oke to go a few days ibetween feeding,,do you have to feed your fish every day..I am going crazy keeping nitrates under 30...I do water changes but maybe I am over feeding,,they seem to eat all the food but I guessing less is more what do you think thanks..
Absolutely, these guys dont need to eat that much and most of us are always over feeding. You also dont need to keep nitrates under 30...waiting for 40 and water changing then is absolutely safe and healthy for them. Check out the rest of my African Cchlid playlist - ua-cam.com/play/PLP5OXTIIDO8MG9hyJ8PjbC33zEbcyy8__.html
Great video! 👍
Thanks! 😊
What I am sometimes amazed at is the ability to keep (SOME) American Cichlids with African Cichlids since they (NORMALLY) require very different PH, you have the beautiful blood parrot and I had a Geophagus Jurpari in a 125 gallon African Cichlid tank that seemed perfectly happy and healthy.
Always exceptions to the rules 😁💪
Hey Kev!‼️. Have you worked on that Snake Cichlids Discount Code? I just received my 2nd shipment from them, and am looking to do a 3rd real soon. I hope all is well and thanks for sharing your knowledge. 🙏🏽
Sure did, Same code KaveMan2021 extended to 5/10 My facebook group always has the latest and updated codes 😊 Check it out - facebook.com/groups/kavemanaquatics
Love the video
Thanks 😊
Great video, Kev! Quick question, my hospital tank has been empty for about 3 weeks, will the beneficial bacteria still be alive, or will I have to start the cycle over again? Thanks in advance!
Sorry bro, you'll have to start all over, BUT if you have some seeded bio-media in your main tank that can be removed and transferred into the quarantine it will be cycled immediately. I keep my media in bags inside my canisters so I can always remove it and transfer to another tank if need be....or If you keep a sponge filter in your main it can easily be moved over as well.
@@KaveManAquatics appreciate ya, Kev!
Them pink dragon bloods look nice bro
Thanks bro! They super aggressive though
Great video 👍🏽
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
The z-rocks looks like he got a coloured Mohawk ...they are beautiful 🤩😎
lol yup, I love'm!!
You're ob lawanda is my favorite in You're collection.👍
Thanks! He one of my favorites too! 😁
Dont forget about Gordo!!! You didnt introduce Gordo :''-( and little sharkee!! lol your good and your OG channel guys are all good, we know Gordo!
🤣🤣 Didnt want to confuse anyone by introducing a parrot in an African cichlid video 🤣
No I get ya Kev. I just wanted to let Gordo know he's loved!! Much love Kev. Ttys!
