My 435 Gallon, 10-foot long Custom Aquariums American cichlid tank setup, start to finish. See me pick the aquarium up, get it in the house, add sand, water and the coolest South American cichlids and Central American cichlids.
Cichlid Charmer is dedicated to sharing the joy of keeping African cichlids and American cichlids and sharing information about them. Much of my content is not cichlid fish specific, however. It also pertains to all tropical fish aquariums. I will share what I have learned about cichlids and other fish, and everyone is welcomed to comment with their own experiences and information about fish and aquarium practices in general.

Nice tank and nice fish. You can easily have plants. Plants turn ammonia into nitrates and then to nitrites. Plants are fundamental for nature based aquariums. There are ways to have plants with digger cichlids. You can have mesh planters with many thick house plants even. Bamboos, pothos or many other options. There is a will and there is a way.

Nice one young man welcome to the 10 ft cichlid tank club. From my experience the green terrors grow very fast and will hold their own certainly with any in that tank. JD's grow very slowly and will get left behind in size but an amazing looking fish when they mature. Oscars dont have a place with aggressive central americans but in your tank will go perfect. I think youve chosen really well congrats. One you could look at is Vieja Melanurus. I think one of the less aggressive Viejas. They grow super fast and amazing colours. Mine just goes around minding his own business
@CichlidCharmer
@CichlidCharmer 17 дней назад

Great video CC. You deserve a sponsorship for the quality advertising. Both the stock selection and aquarium are quite nice, I'm sorry for the losses though. The tank would look absolutely amazing planted, but I'm well aware of how destructive certain cichlids can be. If your running a refugium reservoir on the sump, maybe you could grow pothos cuttings to help with the bioload. Great showcase of one of their larger aquariums. I'm placing an order for a 150 gal tall...any larger and I'll burn a hole in my pocket 😂😂 Your guys will definitely hit a growth spurt due to the free real estate. Cheers

Thank you! Yes it is. I am still fine tuning it though. I think it will be acceptable once I get it just right, but it will always be noisier than a canister so believe.

I think you will really dig the Electric Blue Herichthys. As it matures, it will be as beautiful as just about any fish in the hobby. Your rainbow will change colors quite a bit as well.

Your nicaraguan, salvini, GT and carpintis can get a bit aggressive for some of the others. You seem ready though if something doesn't go as planned. The panda uaru are also quite sensitive at times so be prepared for that. Anyway it will be fun to see these fish grow and mature over time 👍

Cichlid Charmer, All I have to say is wow on that 10 foot tank. The stocking choices are so good. The only thing you’re missing is a Firemouth cichlid and an Electric Blue Acara. The colors on the EBA and on a Firemouth. Are so pretty. I have a salvini in my CA /SA cichlids tank and he or she is doing just fine and my tank is only 4ft across. Salvinis are pretty when they get bigger. That is a low stocking for that tank I and sure you are going to add more fish later correct. Man I wish my wife would let me get a 10 ft tank lol. 😂 you need some geos in that tank to clean up the substrate. I recommend a AC heckali as a geo they get really pretty. Appreciate the video and man when you go big you go big. Maybe in the future can we get a walkthrough now of all the tanks you have and the stocking once the new tank is setup fully with stocking.
@CichlidCharmer
@CichlidCharmer 18 дней назад
I e been waiting to hear from you, Jeremy 🤩. If you take a longer look at the 180 in this video, you’ll see at least one EBA in there. I actually have three, and I plan on putting them all in the big tank. I’m not a fan of firemouths for some reason, so I probably won’t get one. But the geos, yes. Sveni will be at least one type - seven of ‘em. I’ll probably want some dither fish, but I really don’t want rainbow fish or silver dollars. I wonder if Congo tetras would do well in there?? I haven’t researched them, but they would look great. What do you think?
@jeremymoore450
@jeremymoore450 17 дней назад
@@CichlidCharmer Congo tetras are beautiful fish. I have some in my 55 gal and they work great for dither fish. The blues on them are amazing. Great stocking choice. Hopefully you got a green terror that has the orange tail. He is pretty I have one in my tank. You could also get some Denison barbs they are pretty as well and work good as dither fish. Or put both the Congos and the Denison barbs in the tank.

Awesome tank mate, be careful adding peaceful SA cichlids in their even with the tank size, fish like salvini although small are best kept with large CA cichlids. Male Nicaraguan cichlids can also be quite the terrorisers.

Having kept all of these fish over my decades in the hobby I have to say your mix is a little risky. You have a very wide range of not only adult sizes, but also aggression levels. I think (due to tank size) you may get away with it but I would scape in a ton of hiding spots and sight breaks. Regardless...I feel like this is gonna be a great series of videos as you go through the process. Thank you!
