@CichlidBros Год назад

Awesome, love it!

@onlywei Год назад

If you skip the severums, you can have a very nice planted cichlid tank with that fish selection! I like plants a lot so it’s very difficult for me to give up anubias in favor of severums. Plus 75g is barely big enough for severums. I would do 90g if I ever got a severum.

@carlwagers9829 Год назад

@Wei Wang thanks for the input! I'll take that into consideration, and I have a few months before this happens, so I got time.

@jeremymoore450 Год назад

Cichlid bro, That tank looks amazing so jealous I have a 8ft wall that I could put a tank on but it has my 4 ft 90 gal on it. Or even a 6ft tank would work. Lol. Thank you for the recommendation of the Catfishes for bottom feeders. I ordered them along with a chocolate cichlid and 3 Denison barbs. From the Cichlid shack. The chocolate cichlid is so cool looking he is 4 in or so and is in my tank with my jack Dempsey female and red devil female and my green severum. Beautiful fish. I have to let the Denison barbs get bigger so they are in my 55 gal to grow out a bit. My 55 gal has my EBA and Golden severum and green terror growing out. They will be going into my 90 gal when they are bigger. Appreciate this video can't wait to see the finished tank and the other projects you guys have going on.

@amandasteed4328 Год назад

Beautiful set up! I love all of your videos!! I have always wondered, How do you know how many fish to add? I have a plan of setting up a 90 gallon tank with a canister (filters up to 100 gallons) and either 2 sponge filters or a tidal 110. For fish, I have my heart set on central/South American cichlids, Sevrums, electric blue Acaras maybe geophagus with my blood parrot and Colombian tetras. I want them all lol but don’t want to over crowd.

@james6901991 Год назад

Another way to make the process faster is to take water from your other tanks, that way the fish you are moving are already used to the 'old' water

@onlywei Год назад

Beautiful aquarium Troy@CichlidBros. I wanted to ask you, did you have to rinse the Aragonite Sand and the African Cichlid Mix. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of Carib Sea substrate that I want to use in my custom 65 gallon acrylic for the Mbunas that I want to put in there. I love that Carib Sea Sunset Gold that you have in your other tank but I also need something to help with the PH. Any suggestions are gladly appreciated.

@CichlidBros Год назад

Thanks! I usually don’t think you need to rinse Carib sea sand. For African cichlids, can’t go wrong with Aragonite. African cichlid mix can be cool too if you like that type

@jrawles87 Год назад

@@CichlidBros thank you for your reply. I'm gonna figure out a way to use that Sunset Gold Sand and still keep the PH where it needs to be. Might just go with putting a media bag of crushed coral in the filter. My only problem now is to find a sponge cover to cover the the intake of the tidal 110 HOB to keep the Mbunas from spitting the sand into the filter.
