Thanks a million. I appreciate you so much for having me on. Who the heck chooses Oscar’s 😂😂😂😂

[DanVoels]

Love the collaboration! Great seeing some of my favorite channels in one place. 🍻

[djsuss]

Awesome format - love it! Love the red spotted Severum and electric blue acara. Apistos are beautiful too!

[Teddzworth]

Once you said around the horn and introduced John... knew it was going to be a 🔥 video! I love the collabs!

[DjPosey]

Great Video! I loved that you included some of my other Favorite YouTubers as well, Only missing Ben Ochart and possibly Cory.

[carlwagers]

Wow, Troy! How did you get all these og's on your video 😂. Love it!

[jasonmaceyko]

Severum or Geophagus ! All the special guests were a great addition to the norm. Once again, great show !!!

[reggie]

Wow, this was amazing. Nice to see all my favorite YouTubers all on one video. Thanks for putting this together.

[SimonEllis-dp]

It was great to see you all in one video with different views, keep up the great work guys and love an OB peacock 🐠

[sharlotteadams]

I’m gonna have to say my Brilliant Turquoise Discus for the color and markings. As far as personality goes that would have to be my Red Spotted Gold Severum. Very interesting to see everyone’s choices, though I already knew John’s answer lol!

[davidolsen]

Great video. You brought in all the hard hitters. I have four big tanks with peacocks and Hap's. But I do miss the Oscars😢

[makiarn]

My favorite cichlid is the Severum. There are so many different titles and colors. I absolutely this segment! It was nice to see all my favorite YouTube channel in one spot! My second favorite cichlid is the Oscar.

[Relayer]

Very enjoyable video! I’m trying to get my first cichlid tank prepared and Blue Acara is currently at the top of my wishlist.

[Jake-urwf]

Wow, some amazing collabs here. I personally gotta agree with the Severum. Beautiful and peaceful.

[achilles_heel]

Same with Primetime aquatics, the Geophagus is really a stand out cichlid with its distinctive pattern and colorful hues! A peaceful community fish that could fit in a not so huge tank for less maintenance.

[rickvegastar]

This was one of the best videos you guys have done! Really appreciate a solid collaboration video!
