Great job. I love that tank. I just got My dolphins put in their own 110 tank. Your video of them just swimming is done really well and your edits are fantastic
Hey thanks! I really appreciate that. And nice, putting new fish in a tank is always fun.
Wow nice dolphins
They actually look like Dolphins 🐬
Impressive tank with great fishes!
Thanks! I like it too. :)
I just bought one, nit having a clue what an adult looks like. I was worried his lips had a fungus because they were white. Now I see that I bought something very special...
I love this tank. And very informative video
Thank you!
I once had a mated pair
Nice!
I have use aragonite sand in my 3 African cichlid tanks. They all range between 7.4 to 7.6. Any ideas? Love the dolphins, btw.
Hi! I may be missing some of your message. If you're asking how to raise pH, I would suggest crushed coral if aragonite isn't sufficient. Or even reconsidering if you need to raise pH. But aragonite should get it higher, so I wonder if you've had it in the tank long enough. TBH, I don't have to mess with my water for that, so not a ton of experience.
Gonna get 4 of those maybe next week 😍👍
Nice! They're an awesome fish. You'll really enjoy them.
@@Riffwaters 👍 i already have 2 f.burundis at 2 inches. I hope they would get along well 😀
@@Riffwaters got my 4 blue dolphins earlier today. They are under quarantine now 😀
@@gezrogius Nice! And good to hear that you QT your fish. Excellent practice.
@@Riffwaters 😍👍
I love your lemon jakes,hows the aggression with having multiple males?
Thank you! I have no problems with the Lemon Jakes. I have 5 males and 3 females in here. Not a great ratio, but seems to work. They're peaceful compared to some other fish in the tank.
Hello... Yellow Labs? Peacocks and the Blue Dolphins...?
What else is in there?
Thx for sharing your tanks and experience! 🍻
Hey thanks for watchin! So glad you enjoyed it. :)
I want to keep 2 dolphin cichlids with 4 oscars. all growing from early stages. I wonder if the oscars growth spurt will affect the combination
Dolphins are pretty fast and aggressive so I think they could hold their own against a bigger Oscar. I might actually worry for the Oscar. I myself wouldn't keep Africans with an Oscar, but I've seen it done!
Hi there,
Beautiful tank mate. I was wondering what the rocks were/are?
Regards Duzzy🇦🇺
Hi, thanks! I don't actually remember the type of stone it is. I bought it from a landscaping supply yard. Sorry.
@@Riffwaters it looks like a type of sandstone similar to what we get here in Australia. I appreciate the response. I like your content.
Is that ok to comm tank blue morri with frontosa?
Nice 📸 video. Beautiful aquarium. May I know the size of your Blue Dolphin in inches please. Thank you 😊
Thank you. The males are about 9", and the females 6".
Do you think I can keep a few in a 55 gal?
You could raise several in a 55g for some time. Maybe up to 2 years. But unfortunately I would not recommend keeping Blue Dolphins in a 55g long term. They get too big and active.
كم عمر اسماك السكليد الدلفين التي لديك وكم يبلغ عمرها ؟ وما هو العمر الذي تبدء اسماك الدولفين بالتزاوج ؟ ❤
I have 7 of them, its been 5 months keeping them but kinda slow to grow up 🫶 very unique looking tho. I cant wait to see them grow like this. How old is ur fish ?
You're correct. These are some of the slowest growing fish I've kept. I don't remember how old these specimens are...maybe about 3 years to full maturity.
Do they get along with ob cichlids or just having them in a tank with just blue dolphin and no other cichlids
Hi! They get along great with OBs and most other Africans that aren't too small. But they're still cichlids, so you'll need to watch for aggression. Best wishes.
In 150 litter or 40 US gallon tank how many blue dolphin (5 inch) can I keep?
Hi! I would not put any BD's in a 150 liter tank. They grow too large. A good blue Malawian for a 40g could be the Metriaclima fainzilberi.
Even though it’s an affrican cichlid do you think their personality could deal with American cichlids?
They tend to be more aggressive towards other blue fish. If you put a few of them with non-blue Americans, in a good size tank, I think it could work. I say could...I can't promise anything. :)
@@Riffwaters thanks for the honesty I might just experiment with one because in my tank I got non-blue american cichlids such as a blood parrot, albino parrot, and red devil
Can i ask for old these badboys?😁
Hi! They're about three years old. Maybe 3 1/2.
Can this fish go ok in a 125 # with male peacocks
A few females would definitely be OK. A single male, or 1 male and a couple females, would PROBABLY be OK, but be prepared to pull him out if things go south.
Scary and human looking
Are they gregarious ?
I have 2 right now that ain’t really going good and there only 1 year old 😭😭
Oh no sorry to hear. Hopefully they turn around for ya.
Hello ; where un USA Can i order one , beautiful tank
Thanks! Some quality online stores that would have these are: Daves Rare Aquarium Fish, Cunningham Cichlids, and Rons Cichlids.
Очень шикарные дельфины! И аквариум очень красивый!
По мне так для такого большого аквариума не совсем смотрятся плоские камни!
Надо что то рельефное! Белые камни однозначно в мусор!
Без обид! Сори!
Slow growing fish .
