Thank you for making this video in response to everyone's questions about if your methods work for big fish. I've seen so many people reply, "Impossible! My tank of 35 cichlids would be dead in a week if I didn't change the water!". The problem was never the cichlids, it was always overstocking and overfeeding. I would have to change the water in my 30 gal tetra tank if I stuffed 70 of them in there. I think too many people use big fish as a means of display instead of a means as a pet you care for.

This is the best YouTube channel for fish lovers all around the world! ❤🌎🐠

I had an Oscar when I was young teenager. When I would get home from school and walk through the door, he would swim back an forth like an excited little puppy. I had to walk across the room and give him a tickle and a snack. I really do think oscars have their own personalities. Great fish if you have the right tank.

[sharpygsxr]

They are friendly little buggers, till they're not :D love it

[PlayfullyPainting]

Just learned alot about my ciclids. Thankyou once again Father Fish for another simple and educational video

[PaulZyCZ]

I was curious how Father Fish would approach this and learned quite a bit!

Originally I did consider something bigger for my 189 gallon tank, but I went with a pack of Angelfish and some smaller fish, deep dirted bed and lots of plants. But definitely an inspiration for a later.

I have a pet alligator gar and I’ve been keeping him in a sterile tank since that’s what everyone had recommended to me but after watching some of your videos I can’t wait to give my gar a natural tank! Thank you so much

[TixPham]

Father fish you're booming worldwide now. Let's keep breaking this algorithm kind sir....

[BadApe]

As usual Father Fish I listened to the very, very, very end. And it was magnificent - as always. Thankyou Father Fish!

[seannunes]

This is great. There are so many ways to keep fish big and small. Father Fish experience and knowledge always rules over populism.

[Giftig--Daniel-P]

This is great. More information about keeping cichlids than I've seen in any other video!

[ASMRkiddo]

Another great video thanks. May I suggest that the rocks are glued together, as if they shift when the fish start moving the sand under the bottom rocks, the top ones can fall, and might crack the glass....

[oakmaiden]

Thanks to you, I quit feeding my fish. I haven’t had a bloated fish since. I give a small treat 2/3 times a week now.

[TheDISSHonoredOne]

I cannot wait until I can set up a 125 cichlid tank and i'll refer back to this video! Thanks FF

[Boogerboys]

500 gallon getting finished up soon looking sweet.

[Scottyhotty-]

I would LOVE too see more videos about cichlids and african ones specifically because everyone thinks they are such a difficult fish and not worth having. Every time i go to a pet shop they try to convince me it would be easier to just go with salt water over cichlids. I personally find them to be easy to take care of if you can afford the right initial set up.

[MrBogdanTutuianu]

I have just begun my aquarium world journey. And by an incredible luck I discovered Father Fish. One can learn from him a lot of things: how to grow fish, how to teach, how to speak English amongst others. Thank you, Father Fish

[somdov]

This video is top notch. You should do more like this

[Zombonikiller]

Love your work man! I've been binge watching your videos recently I love how you keep your tanks all natural, and I've been thinking about upgrading my 10 gal to 20 gal or more, but I just wanted to confirm some things first with some real fish keepers. Much love, keep up the great work! <3
