I’m so sorry this happened while you were away! 😢 I’m glad I could be there before anything got really bad and we lost more and I’m so happy to hear there was a silver lining with the Anubias. They definitely prefer lower light. Fingers crossed we got ontop of it and no more issues from here on out!
Thank you so much ❤️ You seriously did such an amazing job at handling it, I appreciate you sooooo much 🥹🙏🏼 And yes the Anubias was definitely a silver lining 🤣
Thanks for watching guys, and sorry about this downer. Should I get some more for my tank? And what would your thoughts be on having a Fish Vet come on to talk about fish dying/illness in a future video? Let me know!
Hey Kaity I commented if you can find it. If not, I have three peacocks I’d be willing to give you since they will eventually outgrow my 182 litre. They’re still probably are still around 5-7cm though so I’m not sure if you’d want them, but they’re available for you for free :)
Anything that can educate us as fishkeeps is always a bonus, would also be interesting to hear the fish experts opinions on whether you need to do a big water change/treatment after finding a dead fish in the tank. Ive had it happen before where a fish has died and got lodged under some driftwood etc and by the time id noticed it it was well decomposed / eaten. I always remember hearing if a fish died of natural causes it may be picked at by others but if it dies and the body remains untouched its a bad sign. The only thing i know is bad for sure is that smell when you remove one that been in there a while !
Oh no! As a newer fish keeper this was a good reminder that even if we do everything right our equipment can fail us. Ya know, I never stopped to think I would need a shovel as part of the hobby! It's going on my list as well as a back up heater & filter! Thank you Kaity!
@@Kaityscichlids I'll always watch to the end, like and comment! We have to get you to 100,000 subs! So I have to mention, I was watching Nick Lewis (He's an interior designer) and a week or two back he was saying he makes the most money off of his Amazon links. I got the impression that if, say I click on your link for a fish net you get not just a tiny credit for the net itself but everything I order in that order, like toothpaste or toilet paper too?! Double check because I'm a fool! lol But if I understood him correctly maybe we need links for bird supplies and film equipment too! $$$$ I can't wait to see Kaity's Australian Fish Farm and Aviary one day!
Your plea for subscribers at the end of the video was so sincere that I had to subscribe. Yes, I was one of those who watched without subscribing. Thank you for always having great content Kaity.
I’m so sorry for your loss Kaity 😢 I’m pretty sure my EBA is nearing his final days & it’s breaking my heart but I know it’s part of the hobby & just enjoying every minute I can with him while I still can! But yes, it would be great to hear from a fish vet! I wish I had one in my area, especially now
Thank you so much! I'm sorry to hear about your EBA :( It's always hard saying good bye. And that's awesome to hear, I will definitely look into seeing what we can arrange for a fish vet video :)
Hi Kaity. So sorry about your fish. Thankfully you had experienced people taking care of them. It could have been so much worse of an outcome! Laila is adorable and love her name lol I had a Husky mix named Layla. She was so sweet☺️
Sorry to hear about your fish! High temperatures can be rough; in addition to increasing the activity level of the fish, warm water holds less oxygen than cooler water so it's a bit of a perfect storm that can lead to more losses. I wonder if you've considered using heaters with built-in thermostats as well as your heater controller? You could set the heaters' thermostats to, say, 28°C but have the heater controller set at your regular temp (26°-ish). That way, even if the heater controller goes rogue and tries to boil your tank, the thermostats on the heaters would shut off at 28° as a sort of fail-safe.
I'm sorry to hear what happened with the fish 😢 I definitely would like to see more fish in your Malawi, the ones in Atlas aquarium are pretty gorgeous, Thanks for sharing, Have a blessed week Kaity😊!!!
I opened youtube and saw that you had uploaded and I was like yay! Another video of your tanks! Then I saw the title.. I’m so sorry Kaity, but if it cheers you up I do have three peacock cichlids that will eventually outgrow my tank if you would like them and I won’t charge you :)
Love your videos and your passion for all things nature. Learnt a lot from you. Came across your videos whilst researching the FX6 and returned to the hobby after 25 years...very old. Just subcribed today; looking forward to your upcoming videos. Thanks. Patrick
A similar thing in my aquarium last week. A faulty heater which shot-up the temperature and unfortunately wasn't caught till late. Lost almost 70% of the cichlids in the tank. Very saddening
BACK IN OZ ! I bet your own bed has never felt so good after all that travelling ! I'm glad to see laila is happy with you (she must have gotten rid of her tantrum on your mums clothes peg) 🤣 Hope everything gets settled in your in your tanganyikan tank 👍🏻 (I feel like I'm repeating myself by saying great video again, BUT THEY ALL ARE) !
Hahaha, thank you 🤣🙏🏼🙏🏼 Please don't ever worry about repeating that lol! And yes it's certainly good to be home 😊 I'm just getting back into the groove of things now
Happy to see Layla back representing the vids and the merch. As you say always the unexpected will happen the minute your away. At least your friends were there to prevent that high temp killing off the tank. Ive seen people just have the temp alarms set up on their tanks with probes so it will warn if it gets too high/low but again thats all well and good if it goes off when someone is there to rectify it :D Glad your back home safe and looking forward to some updates on the other tanks
That is actually a really good idea!! I should consider investing in something like that especially with going away so often. And thank you, Laila says hi 😁🦜🦜
Years back I used to visit a University marine lab quite a bit and one of the students was studying the correlation between higher water temperatures and increased aggression in fish. It is an actual thing. Sorry you lost your fish.
So sorry to hear that but honestly things could have been far worse. I am always fearful when going away for long holidays especially if there are power surges which affect my house electricity!
Sorry to hear you had issues with your aquarium whilst away that lead to the death of one of your cichlids 😢 Hopefully it's all fixed now and all the fish are ok! Definitely get a fish vet on, they're really cool and there aren't all that many specialist fish vets either. Had talks from them on my degree, and my friend who recently qualified as a vet also had a talk from a fish vet which she really enjoyed! Did a module on fish health and nutrition too, fish pathology and parasitology are fascinating subjects to learn about! Are you planning on any more videos on the rack system coming up? Would be really cool to see an update on those systems!
That's good to hear!! I'm thinking it could be a great educational video. And yes, most definitely, I will do an update on the rack soon. I've still got more content from overseas but I'll mix some at home content inbetween 😁
Hi kaity Nice to get an update on your tanks.not all good news but these things happen.😕i think you should definitely get new fish!! more fish looked better!😊besides i think i would start to miss the occasional" your tank is overstocked"comments.😅😅 I was wondering if you're using the sunset/sunrise settings on your lights?oh and cool to that little braniac Laila again, it's funny how clever she is!😅
Hahaha, yes we need those comments back 🤣 I agree, it definitely looked a lot nicer with more fish and it'll probably help with aggression too. Yes, I use a 1 hour ramp up and down for sunset and sunrise with the lights 😊 Laila says hey 🦜👋🏼
@@Kaityscichlidswhen i had a bb algae problem i streched those ramp up and down times so the times with high peak lights got shorter. It took a bit of time and experimenting to find the balance between as much light as possible and not too much so the bb wouldn't grow.but it helped.maybe you can give it a try?+i don't know about ac but my fish show their coolest colors and most interesting behavior during sunset! it's my favorite time of the day 🙂
Im sorry for your loss. I just lost my gourami. Idk why. She stopped eating 2 months ago. Ate randomly since then. I did just about everything but today i woke up, was immediately depressed. Its okay. You tried your best.
Kaity if you invest in the Inkbird you’ll be able to monitor it anywhere you have a phone signal and see if the equipment is malfunctioning as you can set high and low temperature alarms. The unit itself has these alarms and can help anybody who is looking after your tank while you aren’t home..
Condolences on the loss of your fish. It is indeed part of the hobby. And life too. I buy the highest quality heaters I can find and keep my room above 75 degrees. I like it warm anyway 🙂😉😊
Sorry to hear of your fish lost the same thing happened to me when a heater failed and cooked all of my fish. now i always keep my heater on controllers, i just love your aquarium's. And your videos.
So sorry to hear. I have never used one of those probes and I don't think I would. You have auto heaters and adding another chance of a fail is not worth it. Goodluck
Hey im sorry for your loss sweetheart. I now have 6 budgies, two are purple. And two Scarlet Chested parrots along with two fighting fish and 8 zeberas.
I feel your pain. I just did a large water change on my 180 and I turned my filter off. Within 20 minutes half my fish were belly up amd gasping. Turned on my wave maker and saved half of the ones effected. Lost 7 fish 7 to 8 inches.
Oh no! I think we’ve all been there. Honestly, if it weren’t for my inkbird, my 300 gallon would’ve cooked. Had an Oase filter go bad about a month ago. It went wide open, but the inkbird caught it and killed the power
I use same equipment, eheim heaters and inkbird 308 controller . A safer way to set up is use 2 smaller heaters each connected to its own controller that way if one malfunctions, the problem, either too warm or too cool tank water occurs half as fast.
Sorry for the morning bad news from one of your baby's. I was devastated when my Fuscocontenatus passed . Aggression death or infection . Doubtful. In your tank . Any idea Katy?
Loosing fish sucks, I’m still sad about my 11” Fahaka puffer PUG dying weeks ago , I had to pick up another one, 1” hope he grows just as awesome as pug
@@Kaityscichlids 😊 I got another one , he’s the size of a pinky nail 😆 but he’s so active and acts like he’s huge 😆 I posted a short on my UA-cam of me hand feeding him .
I suspect the eheim was your problem - they used to be good. The ones I got 15-20 yrs ago lasted 10+ yrs. the ones i got more recently last about 3yrs and cooked my fish. The one I caught as I was cleaning tank it was roasting The second One was too late. I walked past one tank and it felt warm. I drop half the water had ice cubes and still above 30degreas. The pleco lasted 8 days then died.
Hallo Kaity.I wrote a cuple of weeks ago and asked you how the fish manage without you then you were in europe .Not so good 😢. All the best from Tommy in sweden
Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that!! That seems to always be the way :( They just randomly get bullied :'(

Me personally I been in this hobby for about 5 years already and I learned to not keep mbuna cichlids with peacock and haps because they have a stronger temperament reason why they always looking for territory I had them mix and it’s always an all out war between them. So I just don’t mix anymore
I to lost a fish today that I had for 3 years my tiger veil angels emo his buddy Larry is now depressed but then Larry is an agara veil angel so longer life span and bigger fish
Mate remember your a amateur fish keeper and your friends are conditioned to the aquarium world .... ive been doing tanganyika for 35 years water change twice a year just top up dehydration... fish are extremely healthy and breed well.... personally i think thrs to much hype to push products and i get it... yes i use to be like yourself but finally realised after many years 3/4 of what you do to perimeters of a tank is not needed... keep your filters maintained once every few months maintaining bacteria media within full clean out ..... rest is all about selling a product $$$$ one day you'll wake up and realise
Hey Katie ❤️ u just wanted to tell you I’m so much more comfortable touching my fish now lol I kinda grab them and let them swim through my fingers and when i do water changes I gently lift them out the water and let them swim back in lol a couple are still skittish but it’s fun lol

I had a simulator situation in my Tanganyikan tank. The heater probe fell out and the heater stayed on. Only a few tropheus survived.
Ahh that sucks :'( I'm so sorry to hear you went through something similar and lost so many fish :(
Is a sump suitable for a 183-liter Malawi cichlid aquarium, or is a canister filter better?
Great video!!

So Kaity......did you get any new fish in the end?
Not yet!! It's such a big commitment adding new fully grown ones in so I haven't decided yet 😬
I'm a bit confused -- why were using an external temperature regulator rather than relying on the thermostat in the heater?
It was because the thermostats in the heaters are known to be unreliable, so it was meant to be a safety precaution :'(

Mate remember your a amateur fish keeper and your friends are conditioned to the aquarium world .... ive been doing tanganyika for 35 years water change twice a year just top up dehydration... fish are extremely healthy and breed well.... personally i think thrs to much hype to push products and i get it... yes i use to be like yourself but finally realised after many years 3/4 of what you do to perimeters of a tank is not needed... keep your filters maintained once every few months maintaining bacteria media within full clean out ..... rest is all about selling a product $$$$ one day you'll wake up and realise
Why freshwater fish? Saltwater fish are better.
But they need salt!!
Hey Katie ❤️ u just wanted to tell you I’m so much more comfortable touching my fish now lol I kinda grab them and let them swim through my fingers and when i do water changes I gently lift them out the water and let them swim back in lol a couple are still skittish but it’s fun lol
Awwww, that is awesome!! Well done, they can learn to be so friendly! 🐟🐟
