I kept cichlids about 10 years ago. This video is a great refresh for my knowledge. Thank you

[charlesroll]

Kave man gets to the point 👍. I appreciate it!

[PaulMurray-xy]

This was a great video. I only have two cichlids and now I think I need more. 😮

8:09 You can also use reverse osmosis filter Wastewater to increase the mineral content and you can probably get this from your local aquarium store if they have reverse osmosis filtered water that they use for topping off their saltwater tanks

[aprettymisfit]

The most helpful video so far . Omg trying to get someone to simply explain keeping cichlids together or not together was so difficult. So thank you . Going to start adjusting my tank to your info now .. I feel so much more comfortable going forward with my tank now .

[mjcgoatygoats]

I just found your videos as I'm looking to upgrade to a 125 for my cichlids. African Cichlids are what made me enjoy the hobby so much more than little fish. They have so much personality and colour. Such beautiful fish

[roseofthorns]

I absolutely love your channel! You have great content and give very good information! Thank you for all that you do and for making these videos short and sweet and to the point. I used to have a chiclid tank but got rid of it and now im starting back new and you are helping me immensely!

[JwelshPhotography]

Great tips as always 😁 I used to breed Malawi for many years but had a break for a while but I'm picking it back up again this week so little refreshers like this come in handy so thankyou 🤗

[tweetyb]

You are so helpful! I'm going to start tank after I get my beloved Yorkie! Your channel will be the go to!

[Missbananas]

I love your videos! I just switched over to African cichlids and I love them. They appear shy, they hide a lot when I get near the tank so I know I’m doing something wrong. Just trying to figure out what it is before I lose one or all of them.. 😰 your videos are helping A LOT! Thank you!

[plantsandfish]

Damn dude, you replied to every comment. That’s hustle! Much respect

[lukejl]

Could you do a video on the difference between peacocks, haps, and mbunas in detail? Breeds etc?

[denisesavidge]

Your videos have been really helpful. I'm still a beginner and have lost so many fish in four years requiring a complete tank restart each time. I had almost given up. Armed with your videos and tips, I'm going to give it one more try -- this time focusing on immediate overstock of peacocks and haps, and frequent water changes and vacuums. Hopefully that will keep them ALL safe from the sole Jewel survivor who is about four inches now. Thanks for all the info!

[Eclipse]

Such an informative vid! I just lost two large goldfish and I’m ready to transform my tank for cichlids. These vids help a lot. Because of the goldfish waste I have a great filtration system.

[fintasticaquatics]

Cool tips. I normally don't bother watching top 5 or top 10 videos as they're normally just obvious things like 'no.1 make sure your tank's cycled, no.2 do water changes, no.3 buy a test kit' but this was actual helpful info. Glad I watched it even though I don't have any cichlids 😊

[LiveWireKCP]

Thank you for the help. Got a 75 gallon tank going to fill it with 17 cichlids 2 pecos and a loach. I have a marineland c360 and a cascade 300 for the filtration. They come in after Thanksgiving and can't wait.

[XxPRIESTxX]

Lot of questions answered for me in this Vid thanks Kev 👍

[fleamcbaggins]

Been doin community tanks fer a while n have recently gone back to cichlid tanks. Thx fer the amazing refresher. Ive learned load of new info as well. May even build up enough nerve to do a peacock tank after im satisfied with my mbuna. Okay, back to binge watching ur content 😅

[tommyriordan]

Great vid full of info as always subbed
