FISH ROOM UPDATE [Making Room for NEW *UNICORN* Fish - The STARRY NIGHT]!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- A recent addition of a unicorn fish (*Starry Night*) set in motion having to move around a lot of fish. Back Story: A couple of years ago I made a silly mistake and I lost a very special fish, a Paratilapia polleni, often referred to as a Starry Night cichlid from Madagascar. The lack of availability and other factors made replacing this fish difficult for me. But that changed this last weekend and here's a full fish room update on how adding this unicorn fish has forced changes, and how all my fish, including the Starry Night, are currently doing.
Note: A version of this video was previewed in the Saturday 4/27/24 Cichlids & Coffee live stream. This is the _final cut which includes some added content._

The Paratilapia Polleni is the most beautiful fish. I stumbled across one when the fish store erroneous labeled a young one as a Jack Dempsey for $.25...yes, 25 cents. Had it for a solid 6 year run as the tank boss. Stunning fish! I was offered $300 for it once it was full grown but nope. It's priceless.
The starry night is one of the most beautiful fish in the hobby
Starry Night is beautiful Fish. Good Luck with your fish. After over 30 years of keeping and breeding fish I am almost done with them. My health is going down hill. I get tired when I water change my last aquarium, a 55 gallon. I run out of oxygen. I will continue to watch your channel, Ric
Ben,
That starry night is very pretty. I am glad all the fish moves are working out. I love all the new homes for the fish and the color pops on the 210 gal. So cool I have a black sparkling sand in all my tanks and it just makes all the fishes color just pop. The darker substrate is the way to go. I replaced all my tanks gravel with the black sand I love it so much better and the cichlids seem to love it also when they dig in it lol. Appreciate the fish room updates.
Ben, I’ve got 6 that I raised from babies and all but 1 are Killers!!!!!
Beautiful fish Ben! I think the Start Night should get his own tank. Maybe you can put the Congo tetras in with him. Add a few more Congo's and keep the african theme. Just a thought
Glad to see all your moves are working out so far. That Severum's stripes are really vibrant! I do love the Starry night change its color. Very Neat! Thanks the upload Ben! Take care.
I have two of these fish I love them they are mostly carnivorous they love red worms
I have no advice for you but plenty of compliments I love your channel thanks for the content beautiful fish
So nice of you
I love that starry night fish. I would love to have one. But I need a huge tank. Enjoy him
Ben. Great video too 🙂
I love the little blood fin / fire green tetra . I got 2 of them the other week .. such an amazing little fish i cant believe i walked past it so many times .. hay to everyone from belfast northern ierland ❤❤
Beautiful fish Ben. I have a 3 starrys currently Donny2 and Donny 4 and 5 the last twos names will probably change but they are hard fish to find. I currently have mine in a 29 with a small texas and 2 small geos the younger two are in a 10
Very nice fish
Destined for the 210!
I just ordered two electric blue acaras they should be in this weekend
Very beautiful fish.
👍🏻😎
Have you ever tried growing pothos or peace lilies on your tanks? Do the cichlids like to eat the roots as well as all the other plants?
Never tried it, but maybe someday. They might eat the roots…
@@BenOchart I have pothos and peace lilies in almost all my tanks but the only cichlids I have are angelfish and they don't eat the roots but they do like to chew on the water wisteria and the ludwigia.
Put in african tank that's where mine is going to go
Hi Ben
This has nothing to do with this video. But I wanted to let you be aware that those Hygger heaters that shows the temp and has a switch in the cord to set temp stopped working and are not accurate. Two of mine just gave out and some others are not heating up the tank at all yet say temp is at 80. Just wanted to let you know
