I have a 110 gallon tank full of Malawi cichlids. It took a long time to balance the tank politics, but I love them. I also find that my cichlids get along fine with various types of catfish too, which is great because the only thing I love more than cichlids are my cats.

Video quality noticeably better John and Lisa. Love the simple straightforward approach. Seeing Dennis Ruedel’s tank was awesome. He has some beautiful beasts. Great video!

Robin William's "YES!" floored me. I can't wait for the next one. Won't be too long before I can binge watch "10 Things" and give Netflix a break. :)
Cute top too Lisa

Lisa, you are awesome. So glad you have gotten more involved this year. I enjoy seeing your collaborations with John.

My first tank when I got in the hobby was African Cichlids, Mbuna mostly. Biggest part of my research was old KG Tropicals videos when John was at the store... and DIY Joey here on YouTube. Besides that, I did a lot of research on species and found a local Cichlid group. Been hooked ever since. John’s tips helped us greatly, even though my bf had 15+ years of experience in African tanks. He didn’t have the internet community’s help and knowledge. So, we learned together. It’s awesome to share the hobby with loved ones.

I wish you two and your family a very merry Christmas!

Love your video, just got my 110 gal tank set up. Watching this video is helping me decide what fish to buy. Thank you.

Really great to have you two back.try not to go away again.

My Malawi eye biter was a real terror. I had to have it in a separate tank by itself and I also had a big Green Terror and a big Red Devil and lots of other Africans in 20 years of collecting 😎

I got my first 12 over the last few weeks. I have a socolofi, a demosoni, 2 kenyi, 4 bumblebees, and 4 yellow tail acei. So far everybody is getting along. Their favorite foods so far are fluval bug bites and tetra cichlid flakes. The flakes are only for those that can't eat pellets just yet.

I gave you a like for that Billy Madison clip alone, one of my favourite scenes ever.

Great video guys. I have really started enjoying African my cichlids and will get more in the future.

[MauriceMccomie]

I'm so glad you guys are back. I am in the process of reverting to a peacock only tank and needed a little brushing up on my memory of Peacocks.
