If you haven’t been complaining, video starts at 2:50. The haters can start at 0:00 😂

do ur thing brother i love seeing all types of videos real hobbyist enjoy all of the different species and tank setups hahah great content sir

Keep going the way it is. I love all the info and not just African’s. I love the variety

Sorry if this was said in the video and I missed it, but does water temperature have any effect on the breeding?

Man likes to talk...

Do what you want to do it's your channel your choice.

I love the variety in your videos. Sometimes, it's fish that I'll never keep. No problem, I love learning about them anyway. Thank you for sharing and please, please keep doing what you do.

Hello Zenzo. I have a breeding pare and the male is eating the eggs while the female is laying them. How normal is this?

You don't need to apologize for being into African Cichlids they are the best fish next to going to salt water

You do a great job so thanks for all the work and time you put in for us, the hobbest appreciates all that u do!!!

Zenzo, just do what you want. I am a writer and years ago my first Editor told me, "Write for yourself, if you do that you will always have readers because you write far better when you like what you are doing." So same for video, do what you like, critics should do their own videos before the criticize anyone else. You make great videos! You do not ever talk too much, just be you man! I was transporting a 150 gallon tank a few days ago. I had no idea how heavy it was going to be, like 200 pounds! My friend and I are getting old, at one point I stopped and said your name three times, but nope! You didn't show up!🤣😂

There's nothing wrong with diversity! I suspect that most hobbyist's interests change/evolve over time. I was only into African Cichlids for many years, but now I love the contrast of heavily planted Betta Tanks next to a Malawi Desert Tank.

Hi Zenzo, Great video, thanks for sharing. You have an amazing set up in your fish room. I'm new to keeping fish and am inspired by your videos and other's on the feed. I am wondering, after you separate the holding female, what size tank do you put them in ( I think you mentioned it being a 10 gal) and also for the fry. Whats that in the mess with the fry? Thanks again. Keep up the good work.

I found it hard to get my hands on a lot of female cichlids, since most dealers don't sort by sex and sell them before they go through puberty. I endet up having 1 female and 7 Males. Can I expect sucsess with them? It is not looking very promissing currently.

Hey, I really hope you can give me some wisdom. Long story short. Male and female peacock cichlids in my main tank showed mating signs, and I immediately moved them to a smaller tank. One day later, female have mouth full of eggs. I was super happy since it's first time my cichlids having babies. I was going to move the male back to my main tank, just to give the female some space and alone time but sad to find out that she was seriously attacked by the male and she doesn't have the eggs in her mouth anymore. She is barely holding and i hope she will get better. Question is, is that normal? My understanding was the male will protect her and the eggs. I would be super appreciated if you can give me some pointers. So I dont have to make same mistakes in the future. Thank you.

Hi I'm new to the African cichlid hobby I have a 55 gal tank I want to breed mbunas where do you suggest I get the fish from and how many males and how many females

Where did my eggs go??? I have 1 female, 3 male cichlids, and 1 plecostomus. The family has been carrying eggs for weeks now. Yesterday morning she had eggs. Last night, she did not. She started eating again and fighting with the boys. There are no eggs or babies in sight. Any ideas what might have happened?

So if anyone sees this I have a 50 gallon cichlid tank and I’ve had it stoked for about 5 months and they just aren’t breeding I have males and females and it’s a good setup it’s the same as a lot of cichlid tanks but they just want breed can anyone help? Also I tried this and the male was in here for over 2 months and nothing happened

I need help identifying My african peacock cichlids I have 2 of them and I don't know if there male or female

I had a question, I’m planning on breeding haps , African cichlids, I’m planning to do the natural way,letting the female hold the eggs until she spits the fry out. I’m wondering how long until I should pull her out after she spits the fry, I don’t want her to get attacked by the male. Sorry if this is an easy question I’m just new to this and curious . Please and thanks!!

I absolutely love the tank behind you!! So colorful and gorgeous!!! I love this channel....I've been here since day one...no matter what the video is about I'll watch....it's always a learning experience no matter what the content...keep up the great work!

What the clear hoses attached to that’s spewing out water on top of the black totes ? Alway wanted to set up something similar. Tia.

I'm curious to know why you mentioned the paper clip method is "more efficient"? I'm new to breeding cichlids so I would love to hear your thoughts behind it. 🙂

I have a dwarf fire hap that is holding eggs. I'm not sure who the dad is. Can peacocks and haps breed together?

I have an african with eggs in her mouth..there is no male ciclids in the tank she's by herself will they hatch?

I have a question bro how old do they have to be to sex them cuz i have about 7 cichlids and i really wanted to find out there sex to see about later breeding lol

I have an African Cichlid with a grey body and a yellow forehead. Can you tell me what it is

Since you have so many tanks, doesn’t it take a really long time to clean them and everything

What is in the small bags you have sitting in the fry tanks? Is it a filter medium?

Do I have to sepereta the female moma from the Frye? Is she going to eat them up? She spit them out yesterday

Yo tropical flake in the WORST for FRYS🤦‍♂️😂

What species of peacock is on the thumbnail of the video?

Man I love your main display!!! So nice!!! My girlfriend wants and all Male peacock tank after seeing yours...and if you knew how difficult keeping fish with someone who doesn't see the beauty in the hobby...its a complement to you!!!🤙🤙shes coming around slowly...

I have a female holding fry in her mouth. When do I separate them?

Your females are dull!or is ther color just like that naturally?

Can anyone tell me all the names of the fishes of his tank behind?

I've got a small apartment and two 10 gallon tanks and personally I love watching all of your videos-- how can I live vicariously through your diverse fish room if you don't show it?

Was ranting for half the video necessary?

Great content on this subject. Long time fish keeper, newer to keeping African Cichlids. Have 10 Peacocks and 2 haps in a 75G. Have a holding Dragonblood by Raspberry OB. This video helps to get the process right on raising up some fry properly. 😎

Heya zenzo! Sorry i got to ya late this time, works been crazy lately. I just watch to see what your up to lol, just appriciate the effort you put into bringing us the videos. Thanks for that btw. Your breeding program is simple but hella effective. Thats dope. Once i get into a house in a few months ill have room to breed a bit but for now ill live vicariously through your fish room! This has gone on long enough, later💪

When you put the female in her own 10 gallon tank and she spits the fry out, do you immediately move her back to the community tank and separate her from the fry?

Do I need gravel in the tank for the fish to breed?

I have different tanks planted shrimp, African, community and different things. It is fun exploring the hobby! Keep doing what you do. Your content never gets boring to me. Thank you for all you do! Are you going to be at aquashella in Dallas this coming weekend? If so what day and I hope to meet you in person.

finally a video that actually helped me!!!

Thank you for the information

What do you feed the little ones on?

Are the females the same species? Or just random female peacocks?

How can you tell the gender

Is it possible that she may hold eggs when they feel like if there is no male ??

you look like ryan reynolds

Ph. Baking soda.

EXTRA movies🎬

somehow mine eat the babies.

the video starts at 3:35

Beautiful tank

Okay so I want to get into breeding so I know peacocks are auloncara, is that their species or genus and are for example a sunshine female able to breed with a dragon blood

I need females

Nice

Breeding African cichlids Just add water 🤭🤭... haha hey u can drift to whatever you want! Haters gonna hate!

She don’t eat during the time that the eggs and fry are in her mouth?

Listen here who do you think you are? “THE OWNER & HOST?” How dare you talk about stuff other then cichlids! You can not have other interests. PLUS YOU’RE going to change the name to “CICHLID TANKS ONLY” don’t forget we own you. Actually I like panther groupers so the channel is now “ panther grouper tanks only”! Thanks for your continued cooperation! PS loved the video! Keep it up!!

How do you know what is male and female? I've just started with mine i know i have at least one big male cos he looks like a giraffe with a blue head. And i had 3 bigger females that had freys but most (22)of my fish died when my husband helped to clean the tank. So i started from scratch almost ive got tiny colorful cichlids but don't know wether they are male or female.

Awsome....

Technically your channel name is tazawa tanks not tazawi cichlids all videos are helpful even as cichlid keepers we do drift away to a few other fish as well

Hi I was wondering if I could put a jalo and yellow blaze in a 10 gallon tank together seeing they both holding ?

Thanks it was a great video I just started my 75 gallon Cichlid tank and I got a bunch of cichlids African cichlids from a guy who does breeding and he gave me about 30 or 40 of them and some of them are pretty cool looking I think I’d like to try the breathing process and your video was very good and very helpful. I’m not sure which kind I have so I need to be able to identify those and then figure out which ones are males females after that any advice with him you would be greatly appreciated thank you have a great day

Also what are you supposed to do with the fry that turn out female?

Where can I get a background like these

It sucks that you have to explain yourself and how "YOU" do "YOUR" videos on YOUR channel. The RU-vid "getcha" group is everywhere and knows no bounds. I solute you Zenzo! 99.37586% of us love your channel!!!!..... and the variety!👍

Can you distinguish the baby fry male n female when they start to grow?

How soon do you remove female to put in 10 gallon because I did and she swallowed eggs.

My stores don't accept my fry or adolecents.... They say it doesn't "match'' the requirements like colour and size and shape. I can tell you my cichlids are damn top notch from the neighbourhood lol!

Do you sell african chiclids? New subcriber by the way😁😁

it seems like one of my male peacocks and my blue dolphin are mating,is this possible ? thanks for your input

Thanks for this video... even I'm one among the people asked you dor posting these kinda videos.Specifically Cynotilapia Zebroides JALO Reef

What temperature do you use for when you put the mother alone ?

Awsome work brother not into Africans as much as u more into Americans more aggressive fish, but love watching and learning as much as i can, love your videos keep them comming, from Australia keep up the good work 😎👍🐟🐠🐡

Hey Zenzo, great job with this video! Your fish look awesome bud. Thanks for sharing 👍.

Awesome Video Thanks for Sharing FishFam NJAE19

Good video! I am new here and only came across this video because I have a new interest in breeding African cichlids. I currently have a 60 gallon fresh water tank with about a dozen African cichlids.

Do what you wanna do man, it's great,some topics I skip but that's always the case. I for one don't have cichlids or mudskippers or any interest of keeping them but just like to learn about them and see someone passionate about them and present it enthousiastic. ( I don't think you talk to much I rather like that you keep your vids kinda short,that way I'm always able to watch them). Thanks man.

Hi, Zenzo thanks for making all your videos it gives me great pleasure and helps me to learn a lot.

I need help finding an easy simple and easy to sell chiclid to breed

Nice video zenzo! I want to get into fish breeding myself one day when i have enough space. Show tank looks amazing.

Awesome video! Thanks for all the info!! Id love to watch a video of u explaining how u got ur own company started and wut u did for a living beforehand. Ty again for the great video!

What’s the temperature you keep your breeding tanks at? Thanks.

do you cull your females or do the stores you sell to take them?

I know my interests expand as continue in this hobby so I think it’s cool when you expand as well 👍

Nice channel! 😊 I just subscribed. I really want to get an aquarium they are so beautiful ❤️

Nice video

Can u do a video about Neolamprogus brichardi breeding?

I enjoy your video journeys on new topics it gives me ideas on different directions I might want to undertake in the fish hobby. Keep up the good work.

hey I was wondering do you feed the female fish food while they have eggs in their mouth?

Thanks for great content and great epic colors on your African cichlids

Love your videos Zenzo.Thank you for sharing🐠

That African cichlid tank is amazing Zenzo!!! I never get tired of looking at it..

Cool channel, variety is the spice of life. Keep up the good work 🤓

What wave maker/power head are you using in the 75?

Your cichid tank is awesome
