"1....2...3...stay still!...1...2..3.......60." 😂😂😂 Joey has the best balance of information and humor👌 I'm super excited to see these fish grow up and show their true colors!
WOW JOEY! That looks great! I love the mixture between the sand, cichlids, and realistic stone background. After a little algae growth, that tank will definitely look very wild like! Great job, you do things that most of us could only dream of. Blesses with the gallery!
There goes Joey boasting about how amazing and fun these fish are... but then he gives a glance over to Frank almost saying "No afence Frank". XD More Suspence!!!
For anyone looking to keep tanganyikan cichlids, Tropheus is a must have. I used to keep the Ikolas, Duboisi and Red Rainbows many yrs back and during those days when i own them, i hardly spent time looking at my other fishes that i kept. So glad you're having them in the gallery. They are beautiful and an absolute blast to see in a tank!!
I'm so excited, they look awesome! I've only recently entered the world of cichlids recently and have a thriving population of kribensis. In fact, I noticed my first fry yesterday. Cichlids definitely have a lot of personality and are great fun. Enjoy them Joey!!
Tray Prince nonono just wait for a couple of months when all the tanks are done with tons of fish then that day would be the best day for fish kingdom ( or when the rays or fish have babies)
I have 6 tanks and all are from lake Tanganyika, watching this made my day!!!!!! ......oh try to keep some synodontis multipunctatus as bottom feeders :D
raising and caring for tarantulas i can respect the way the fish look while young. my tarantulas look a lot different while they are young , but it is worth the wait for them to morph to beautiful colors. love the african cichlid
I love Tropheus! But I am not a "lake aquarium" guy so I do not have any experience with African cichlids from the lakes. Tropheus would be a dream of mine. Duboisi or Moori doesn't matter (just depends on how much I can spend)! I could use a tank with similar measurements as yours: 4ft x 20in x 20in. But I do not have a clue if this size could be considered ok since it's still 10cm less deep and tall.
A 120 gallon tank can work, but 125 gallons would be better. Having a longer tank provides the fish with more swimming room, and this will especially help (in combination with stocking numbers) to help diffuse aggression levels (especially since tropheus are well known for how territorial they are/can get). Tropheus are the Mbuna equivalent of Lake Tanganyika, but are nicer looking and more rewarding to keep👌. Being algae grazers, they require a diet largely consisting of vegetative matter (more so than the Mbuna of Lake Malawi, which are known to be more opportunistic omnivores than true herbivores).
Joey, I'm really glad you're talking about quarantine. Over in the marine side of this hobby it's very important to quarantine fish because diseases can kill fish very quickly and treatments for the diseases will kill corals and invertebrates. With the cost, and moral ethics involved with keeping fish, quarantine is a must!
I live near Houston, so because of hurricane Harvey we had a mandatory evacuation. It was so short notice (we literally went from eating breakfast on a rainy morning, to evacuating our neighborhood in fifteen minutes.) that I didn't have time to find my battery bubbler, so I had to leave my fish with out oxygen exchange. There was a little bit of moss in the tank and I'm praying for the best. Any advice for when I get home? Please pray.
This is almost perfect timing. My father has 5 different species of African cichlids and i have taken an interest in them cause they have started to breed and it caught my attention. learning to look after them properly will be a handy opportunity.
I agree Petricola are beautiful and don't interfere with breeding, also i think Eretmodus cyanostictus would be a good pick because they are also herbivores.
I know so little about Cichlids as I've alway had nano fish and invertebrates. I think your love and passion for them is starting to become contagious, Im having thoughts of a big Cichlid tank. I'll keep watching and learning before I start!!! 😋
My favorite part, by far, about this channel is the fact that I can go about my everyday life and tune in once a week. Watching your channel and your fish develop is great.
1..2..3 "Stay still" 😂😂😂 That part killed me lol little things like that in your videos make my day 100 times better! Your personality and different camera angles make your videos very personal with the viewer and I personally fully watch your vids because I find it very interesting!!! KEEP IT UP ROAD TO 1 million you can do it 🙏🙏🙏🐠🐬🐟🐙
Random question but why purely irian reds on the rainbow tank? They're probably in my top 3 favorite rainbows but I was expecting a variety of rainbows. Still excited to see them all fully grown tho.
If we hobbyist have patience we can witness miracles or phenomenons in our aquariums .u are the perfect example of patience .and by the way I think the 10 year old fish are poor man s discus (uarua) finally our superhero "uarua joey" is back
Very cool! I remember the tank for Tropheus Morii last year at the Aquatic Expirence. Beautiful fish to watch! and a large colony is going to be super fun to watch grow up definitely one that wears their emotions on their skin
I really hope that you won't have any more tanks with just one type of fish in them! At the minute the gallery is going to look like a high-tech fish shop with a single species per tank. I was ready for 5/6 different species in both the 375 and Tanganyika - not that I dislike the fish you have but I think having different species interacting looks way better. Still a good video though :)
Joey, are your tanks going to be continually focused on a single species? Lake Tanganyika has dozens of different cichlid species. Why not add small groups of 10 different species instead of 60 of the same fish?
The king of DIY please please please add in one of your aquariums a small bunch of tiger barbs!! I have them myself and would love to see your videos on them too.. certain behavioral patterns, the best way looking after them, food they love etc. Please please please!)) By the way, all of your fish are looking good and healthy and thanks again and again for aaaaall of these videos!
I think i love gallery insted of 2000g aquriam but, Y the same fish more n more, y u r not mixing fishes of same species, it ill look like pet store. It ill be more beautify if u mix other fishes. Its my suggestion not judging.
Uaru 😀😀 background is more dynamic.. 😍😍😍 it's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo natural.. one of a best tank for these little guys nly few people in the world can give them this heaven..
Boy : This is finally the moment Girl : Will you leave me Boy: No Girl: do you love me? Boy:Of course! Girl:Have you ever cheated on me Boy: No Girl: Will you kiss me? Boy:Every time I get a chance Girl:Will you ever hit me Boy:Are you crazy!? No! Girl:Can I trust you? Boy:Yes Girl: Babe Now read it backwards
I am excited that you are keeping African cichlids! You will get even more subscribers than you have now with the variety of fish you will be keeping! Keep the fish you like and things will keep going great for you!
I love watching the differences in how Joey and Jennie from Solid Gold Aquatics approach quarantine tanks. Joey seems to judge more so by physical and behavioral queues and Jennie goes all scientific with her microscope method. It just goes to show how varied the methods of fish keeping are :3
Joey.... we all love your passion and enthusiasm, but dude.... your rocking back and forth CONSTANTLY is getting hard to watch. It's even gotten worse lately. I'm not criticizing, just trying to help....
I love your videos so much. I love these fish. I love seeing what you can do for these fish. I was in a bad mood, so I'm glad to see your video today. Seeing these cute little fish definitely helped.
I'm so jealous of your setup! It makes me want to make mine better. I currently have a 30 gallon as well as a 55 gallon with Mbuna. I've been a fan for a while... I'm sooooo happy that you are showcasing cichlids along with everything else. Keep it up.
discus for sure . joey thank u for telling us about 1 fish 2 fish , i was on vacation in keji park last week and stoped into 1 fish 2fish for some sponge filters . ,on my way back home to moncton .love the new fish .
Beautiful set up, love the tropheus, anyway to hide the air stone & the hose coming down from the other tank.. They takeaway a little bit from the aquascape other then that you couldn't get a nicer cichlids set up!!!
Can you like come in india to show your talent so that even Indians will know the value of the pet fishes .... from india ... big fan.. love joey .., love the king of DIY..
What are you gonna do with the shell dwellers? They are from Lake Tanganyika too... Maybe you could set up 2 Lake Tanganyika Tanks. The Tropheus Tank and one with the shell dwellers and some Altolamprologus compressiceps or calvus.
