Update: Ordered 4 more cichlids from Snake River (total of 20). Those arrived healthy the following day. Also, ordered 10 clown loaches who came out of quarantine this week. All 30 fish are healthy and thriving. And yes I know I will need a tank upgrade in a few years. Can't wait!
Great looking fish! Recommend using some active sponge filter media from Angels Plus next time. I cut up the sponge & threw it into one of the FX6s I’m running on my 125. Instant cycle! Added 20 male peacocks & haps from Imperial Tropicals a few days later. Definitely beats waiting over a month on a fishless cycle.
This video is awesome! Fish were in shipping for 4 days and they still came out looking like beast! Those tanks are world class for sure! Good good Joe.
FYI- an easier way to cycle is to go to a trusted LFS and get cycle media, and get some bottled bacteria. I cycled my tank in 5 days that way. I stocked light at first, got two fish from Ron’s, then 10 from SR two weeks later and then 4 from Tampa bay a week after
Lol you have the same exact set up as kaveman aquatics. Its nice tho and I just received my shipment last week snakeriver ciclids have wayy better fish than coastal ciclids and they have more of a variety smart buy I hope to see an update at 6months and then 1year wanna see the progression of your fish
Haha yeah I will definitely be doing that. All of my fish are really healthy too. I couldnt be happier with them. They've really colored up. I have completely changed the aquascape since then and am liking it so far.
SR is great, I got some of the same fish, zrock, lemon, OB grab bag and some others. They’re starting to color now, especially the zrock…you’re gonna love that guy Dig your scape btw
If you are close to Kansas City I will give you mine. Still have 1 left. They were store bought. Since then I have switched to Cichlid Stones (Underwater Galleries) bought from Amazon and a hollow log from Universal Background.
You're lucky I received an order from them that was supposed to be overnight showed up two days later at the facility with a box of dead fish. Now of course they're trying to say it was my fault. Highly would not recommend these unprofessionals they got a bad reputation anyways I should have did some research on them
Aw shit sorry to hear that man. I've been lucky so far. This order was the only one that came close. I've had good luck with Imperial Tropicals on a few orders. May want to give them a try

You are just radiating kid in a candy store energy and I love it. Someday I’ll have a peacock cichlids tank like that when I have the space to do so
Haha yeah I'm now 16 tanks in and still feel the same way. This hobby is so much fun!
Props on the Kaveman Aquatics hoodie and of course SRC. Beautiful cichlids planning on my order

How are they growing in there?
They have over doubled in size. Been eating well and all are healthy.
Looking good brother 👍 gonna make more videos? I’d love to see more! Have a great day my friend 😁
Thanks Vinny. Hope to get to your level one day. Learned a lot from you.
SR is great, I got some of the same fish, zrock, lemon, OB grab bag and some others. They’re starting to color now, especially the zrock…you’re gonna love that guy
Dig your scape btw
At first I thought you were one of the guys from the cichlid bros channel
Those guys are awesome. I'll take that compliment. Thanks Crypto.
Is there a link to wherever you’re ordering these from? (:
snakerivercichlids.com/
The next thing you need to buy is a fire extinguisher for that fire hazard you have over there in the corner by the fish tank.
Already been changed but thanks.
hey its been like half a year! how is it going with them? how are they doing.
They are great. All healthy and with new tank mate. I'll make a new video soon
Where did you get your rocks? Store bought would cost a fortune?
If you are close to Kansas City I will give you mine. Still have 1 left. They were store bought. Since then I have switched to Cichlid Stones (Underwater Galleries) bought from Amazon and a hollow log from Universal Background.
@@joeestes4958 thanks for the offer. I'm no where near KC. Will check out underwater galleries.
You can tell this guys a fish guy your ok your ok little guy LOL
Haha since this video I am up to 20 aquariums. I'm now in the breeding game. This hobby is the best
do they ship international
I don't know. I'd be surprised if they did
what was the price u paid for all them with shipping
$447.96 for 2 6Packs and 2Grab Bags
What kind of sand did you use for your substrate?
It is a petsmart white gravel. Really fine but heavy so I can deep clean and vac without sucking too much up.
@@joeestes4958 thank you.
What's the tank dimensions??
72x18x21
