I’m going to be straight honest with you . Because of you and few other youtubers i came into keeping an aquarium(s) . Specifically African cichlids but mostly Mbuna. I built my custom stand bought 75G purchased double of the best filtration, substrate, lights all from watching your videos and few others. Thank you for getting me here today i love with all my heart and stronger than ever and will always keep fish . Thanks a billion .

Your old cichlid videos are a big part of why I now have a tank (55 gallons about 3 months old).

Real, honest and non judgemental video. I've got mutts. I don't care, love my fish been doing it 11+ years always keep my opinions to myself when others do things their way. I have mauna tank n a SEPERATE fancy goldfish tank. Love them both.

I don’t know why but that “Tell that old man to go pound sand” line had me crying 🤣, they were the ones that probably gave you the 👎

I have a 90 gallon "Mutt Tank" Yellows, blues, all sorts of colors. They are mixed with a large Frontosa and a Large Red hook silver dollar. I keep PH at 8 and everyone is happy. The 20 year old Frontosa keeps the baby count down. The tank has been setup since 1987. Large Wet dry filter and canister keeps water changes to a minimum. I like this channel for its lack of snobbery. I don't tell the red hook he is not supposed to be in there.😉

Love this. I am an avid breeder of mbunas and just love every tank I have. Yes, you can mix them. I find they keep to their own kind. Love your enthusiasm!

[ShoNuffDC]

Great videos! I'm new to cichlids and learning more with each video! Thanks for taking time to share your experience and help others grow as fish keepers!

[gasp]

IMO 40 breeders or 75 gallons are way better then a 55 gallon. Sure the length is there, but cichlids like width and 55s are very narrow

Great video 😀👍 After Keeping fish since my teens (25+ years) I keep only Mbunas now (5 tanks). It is something special raising/growing all of those fry. Now out of tanks for fry but enjoy all the adults and the hierarchy of each tank. The aggression of some Mbuna is not for everyone…

[erinrobertson]

i'm so thankful for your channel - we learned so much from you before starting our cichlid tank!! <3 And so much has helped grow our hobby from thinking about maybe getting a second tank to now trying to figure out where to put our SEVENTH tank. :)

I live in the Philippines so taking care of tropicals here is easier 😁
Never tested my water.
What i do is i smell it 😂 there should be no smell to the water at all if there is a smell time to change the water😁
Plus i do partial water change every three days since i dont work anymore 😊
No need of heaters here.
I have a total of 7 tanks of different sizes😁

FREAKING GREAT MBUNA WRAP UP!! LOVE THE GYMNASIUM FULL OF FARTS

[bethanyelaine]

This is the best video. I tend to overthink and you really explain things well and now I don't feel so obsessed with all the details of creating a "perfect" tank. Thank you!

[SlimTim_dirty_aquatics]

All good points, I recently started keeping mbunuas; and I did a lot research in keeping them. This video was a good refresher and insight on “elite” beliefs. Due to the Covid, I’m lucky to find mbunuas at the chain stores and lfs; so yeah I have multiple groups in my 90 gallon. As you state in your videos, being a lazy fish keeper is not an option when it comes to mbunua. Fired Up Video!!!

Lol I'm watching this 2 years later😂😂😂...I want my heart❤ 2:35

[rohoaqualuna]

Because of you guys I started keeping cichlids. Geophagus Sveni, Rams, Electric blue jack dempsey, and Electric blue acaras. So far extremely happy with them! Keep up the great work!

[keithcovington]

John, I really enjoy your videos. You and Zenzo from Tazawa Tanks are the reason why I started my 125g Malawi tank. I love these fish. My wife and kids would say that I love the fish more than them 🤣😂

[jodysees]

i JUST GOT A 65 GALLON TANK FOR MBUNA. Not stocked yet, but excited to do so. My thoughts were 2 angelfish, 4 rams, 2 apistogamma, 2 blue acara. 1 glofish shark baby.

[bzig]

Haven't kept African Cichlids in over 20 years . I'm getting back into the hobby with a 500 gallon, should be running in a week. Great Chanel to relearn some of what I've forgotten and stuff I never knew. Thanks
