African Cichlids Growth Rate & Evolution (Lake Malawi Haps)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 тра 2021
- Today's video is full update on my 125 gallon African cichlid tank, showing the growth and evolution of the fish and tank setup over the past year and a half. These Lake Malawi haps have grown a ton and started to put on color.
When I first stocked the tank, I wanted to start with smaller cichlids so that I could watch the growth of these fish over time and also share that progression on the channel. The growth spurts lately have been awesome to watch. As some of the cichlids move up in the hierarchy, some have moved down and have less color. It's been an exciting tank to watch come into its own! More updates and upgrades will be coming soon.

it's a very nice angle to do. i can feel how satisfying it is to watch them grow and color up.
Nice tank they are getting big!
Thanks!
Nice tank , love the colored up eye biter .
Thanks!
Amazing, beautiful fish!
Thank you!
Nice setup. I have a Hawk at about 5 inches that I cant wait to start seeing some color. I have a venustus, fusco, and tiawan reef already colored up and looking good. The thick boy in my tank is a jack dempsey.
Thanks! Nothing better than a colored up Hawk 👍🏻
Your fish seems to be growing really well! How is your feeding schedule? how much and how many times a day? i would also really like to know how much water you change per week. I cant seem to get my haps to grow nearly as fast, in fact they dont really seem to grow. I hope to hear back. Awesome vid btw!
Great informations bro 👍😍👏
Thanks for watching!
Cant lie im not really into malawis but seeing them colour up over time does sound interesting. They look so different to those bland fry id never have thought they were even the same fish.
My Dream Fish is those Malawi Trout and Malawi Trout. They get Huge.
Awesome fish!
Good video
Thanks dude
Very nice!
Thanks!

Very nice 👌
Thanks for watching!
Nice collection of fish. Black background is great. i know the fake rock back grounds are trendy but i chose not to muck around with that in my tanks as well. look forwards to seeing more videos
Very nice, I enjoy the tank since you did not overstock it
Thanks man! Bigger tank coming soon as well 👍🏻
cant go wrong with sec cichlids....love the shipping rates
One of the best spots for sure!
Member of vibe with kcs here 🤍
It’s funny with the tiger becoming tank boss and being more of a kind boss, I had some young blue labs and yellow tail acei cichlids and I put them in with my full grown yellow lab and he was instantly the tank boss but he is very nice to them and the worst he will do is push them out of his little tunnel (they have 6 but like his better)
Great growth. Couple of questions: how many times a day, do you feed? And how big of water changes are you doing?
Thanks! Usually 1-2 times per day with one fasting day per week. And roughly 50% water changes every week
@@CichlidBros Nice, have been feeding my haps once a day but have been bumping it up to twice for a few days a week and about 60-70% water changes.
What do you feed them they look so amazing
Thanks! Mostly north fin pellets, variety of cichlid and veggie formula
@@CichlidBros how do you like the hakari pellets compared to the northfin pellets?
Damn that’s some commitment there, a year and 6 months! I was very eager when mine were at that 2” that I eventually bought a few larger guys just to have something nice to look at in the meantime lol.
I’d take out that Ahli, he doesn’t stand much of a chance with those big bruisers. He would fit in better with more passive haps like Borleyi or even peacocks. I have a mix of haps and peacocks so it’s easier to mix less aggressive fish in my experience
Haha yeah, next time I’d probably get them larger to start, it’s been a very long wait. Still cool to watch the progression though
Great video buddy. I have a 150 with a small tiger oscar fish" about 4.5 inches long. He killed both of the arowanas I added to his tank. One was pretty big' about 8 inches. He basically killed them over night. He then killed two albino Oscar's I added. Yesterday I added another tiger oscar like him and they seem to get along perfectly. I want to house more fish in my tank. What can I do without having to remove my oscar?
Thanks! Sorry to hear about the fish. I’ve mostly seen docile oscars, but if one is this aggressive, I’d recommend keeping solo or with just the other Oscar that he seems fine with. I’ve found silver dollars and plecos to be the most successful tank mates, but it’s tough to say for sure given your aggressive Oscar. Best of luck
Can you give me a full list of the fish you have in that tank
Would like your opinion on keeping a Malawi Trout & Hawk with Peacocks?? Will it work or a bad idea?
Typically will be okay. Especially if you have a 6ft tank
@@CichlidBros Thank you! Keep up the great work Bros!
Where did you purchase fish from? Were they able to vent fish that early or did you JUST hope for males? Beautiful fish BTW!!
Thank you! Ordered them from mostly from Tampa Bay cichlids as “guaranteed males” but ended up getting a female or two out of the bunch
@@CichlidBros thanks for reply. Will have to check tampa bay out. Keep up the great content!
I have a new Albino Eye Biter. Had a question, will it change color as well if it becomes dominant? It's current white with yellow tipped fins, red eyes. Will the yellow become bolder or...?
Yep it might just a bit with dominance
Can we keep these in 4 feet tank?
Hope you have plans to upgrade long-term 125g is too Small for a lot of those guys.. nice fish
I do. Mentioned it in the video. Will be upgraded in the next few months
@@CichlidBros .. my bad must have missed it somewhere then
No worries. Should be a fun update video coming soon 👍🏻
