Adding DREAM FISH To 10-foot Cichlid Tank

I'm finally adding my True Parrot cichlid and my vieja cichlid to the big 10-foot aquarium. Both are pretty peaceful at the moment. Will they be strong enough to defend themselves against my more aggressive American cichlid fish in the tank like my electric blue Texas cichlid and my oscar?

Cichlid Charmer is dedicated to sharing the joy of keeping African cichlids and American cichlids and sharing information about them. Much of my content is not cichlid fish specific, however. It also pertains to all tropical fish aquariums. I will share what I have learned about cichlids and other fish, and everyone is welcomed to comment with their own experiences and information about fish and aquarium practices in general.

Your 10-foot tank looks amazing! Those dream fish are going to thrive in such a beautiful setup. I enjoy following your aquarium journey! I recently went swimming with cichlid in Lake Malawi. 💖

[kapilvasudevan]

Your videos are absolute bliss... It really keeps me glued until you realise video has ended. 😊. Amazing Stuff. Keep going 💪

[makiarn]

Always wanted a true parrot fish. Maybe someday. As always another delightful video.

[fishwateraquatics]

So cool watching your Salvini keep the peace being a good tank boss! Cichlids truly have personalities of their own! Keep up the great vids:)

[barat]

Very nice tank! I have two green terrors in a 55, they have not hurt each other even once.

[davidolsen]

Love your videos. Your fish and your tanks. Keep up the good work

[dannyaquatics]

Wow David I've been wanting to get a true parrot. One day they are so beautiful.

[jeremymoore]

David,

Buck is so cute. That true parrot is so cool. The salvini protecting him is really cool. I love CA SA cichlids they are so personable. The personality of each one makes me laugh and the way they look at you is so cute. The vieja is going to get big in that tank. Vieja are pretty. I can’t believe you are going to get a black nasty. Where are they going to go. They are really aggressive. Appreciate the video sir.

I'm so jealous of all you guys. I want tanks but don't have the space. Lol that chocolate looks great

[TheLegend-rbmm]

That salvini girl protecting the true parrot is so adorable

[stefanosahretis]

Hi mate, San Quentin is looking amazing, glad it’s working out for you, nice job .

[walfredjimenez]

Glad everything went smooth with the transfers!

Mixing fish is not simple math. It comes with give and take and because neither speak the limit is not known. And 😂when it comes down try to move desired fish!!! 1 million points for strategy and patience! It’s too easy to quit or just start whipping the net around like there’s nothing else there! When I caught my sharks it was TOO EASY, but I used a FISHING NET AND THEY WERE GIGANTIC (deep voice). your true parrot is doing amazing and the tank looks better with the new tank mates! Salvinis seem to be heroes in tanks as far as I hear. And isn’t a plan going smoothly just as soothing as fresh air after too long in an elevator with strangers? Great video and thanks for sharing! Stay happy and healthy my friend!!! 😊❤

[cichlids]

The true Parrot is amazing such a cool fish and wow I’ve never seen a ebjd that big before usually they are super small .5 inches or so and die very early or so I’ve read never had one

[AI.planet]

Very nice! New subscriber from Aquafinity.

[NavarroGustavo-cz]

I just bought my electric blue Texas cichlid yesterday because your Texas wouldn’t get out of my head 😅inspired 😅

[Aquanorth.fishkeeping]

Awesome fish! I have also set up a 200 gal with kind of the same theme. I know how much you like to spoil your fish tank size-wise but i guess I'll see if they like it, got 2 oscars and a flagtail arriving from germany next week to complete the stocking

[Fishandgrub]

Great video .. AWesome little in your tanks

[andreacasoli]

Really like your aquarium, have you considered adding some floating plants or some Pothos? Since you're not having plants they can help you lowering pollution in aquarium, and multiple tank syndrome is real 😂
