Love the video! Always interested in seeing you wet pets as they grow. It's the honesty I enjoy most about your channel. And the awesome fish!! Keep up with the awesome videos! 🤝🏾🤙🏾
Totally agree lol. May be I should go old school dirt tanks. There's something to be said about old school fishkeeping. Respect to you Father fish. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir from England
@@andywoodscichlids2942 I would love to see you do an old school dirted sand capped tank. We are building them now with additives and food webs. Best wishes.
Great update mate! Can't wait to see big old Fanta in a couple years nice and big! Haitiensis growouts looking great too! Mine are just starting to pair up and show spawning behaviours. Can't wait for the next video Andy!
Me to, I've never seen a monster red morph in the flesh. Good luck with your Haitiensis mate. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir
G'day Andy. Love your videos. I'm quite jealous of what you can access in Britain. Here in Australia, the quarantine laws are very restrictive. I may be in Britain soon and would like to meet you and talk fish with another genuine, fellow fish fancier. Don't stop waffling Woods. It's what makes you real.
I can understand your frustration with your restriction law's. There probably there for good reason. Preventing invasive sp getting into the wild. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir from England.
Hi Andy and Melanie hope you two are doing good ,thanks again for another great video it's always something that Us in America look forward to ,you are definitely our favorite fish keeper of all time. Your love for fish makes all of us inspired, I am the same as you just love the big monster fish I have a nice collection, hopefully I'll be getting into CZcams pretty soon anyway keep the videos coming it's a long harsh winter here in USA Michigan and I look forward to my weekend video with Andy woods. thanks again. your fish look fantastic, good job
Thank you for your kind words, and good luck with starting a CZcams channel. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir
Hey Andy love the videos you make! Keep up the good work we all enjoy your water pets:) But have you ever considered a "Green Terror Cichlid"? Andinoacara rivulatus
Yes I've kept Green terrors before. Stunning fish and very interactive and aggressive towards there keeper. There on some of my earlier videos. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir
@@andywoodscichlids2942 do you mind doing a video on how you take care of the ascfraci? I want to get one, but i hear their diet and water conditions have to be just right.
HI Andy love to follow your vids. Been keeping some CA's for a minute now, but finally ready to take the dive into Parachromis...it's Guapote time! I was thinking of growing out either some la ceiba multifasiatus or some rtm rio blanco. Which would be an easier start (generally)out of those two?
I think there quite similar. They can vary from fish to fish. They all have there own separate characters. Good luck with it. I'm sure you will enjoy keeping a parachromis sp. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir
Man! Me and my lovely GF, got back into fish from watching your wonderful animals Andy! We've aquired 6 small jaguars and finally got a pair out of the group. laying eggs already and we cant be happier! We watch all your content almost every night, even watching your videos over again :D We appreciate you so much Andy, keep the amazing work with your fish going!! Is there anyway we can send you an email or a personal message somewhere Andy? Best of regards Alex and Nadia!
Thank you for your support taking the time to watch and comment. I wish you the best of luck with your Jaguar pair. I'm sure they will give you many years of enjoyment. Happy fishkeeping from andy.n.woods@googlemail.com
Loving your channel, would love a dovi but not sure my tank is big enough forever home , all your fish are stunning , love the big Americans , I'm losing my female red terror from lip locking with red head vieja and sadly meds are not working , keep em coming
Great videos mate!!! Love from the states! I hope your making a few extra pounds off of each videos! Idk how CZcams works yet but if you place ads in your vids you can make some money and than you’ll be a “real” youtuber! Lol thanks for the great times!
Thanks Bill. There not normally that aggressive. May be it would have been better with dither fish. I'm just pleased i still have some from my first very first spawning. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir.
Hi Andy. Enjoy the videos. Air-powered sponge filters are not very effective for heavy feeders like cichlids, but I understand why you use them in the fish room. Have you considered using longer uplift tubes, as this would increase the suction power of the filters. This is explained by Boyle's Law.
I know it’s two years later but I would recomend the Hamburger Matten Filter paired with the czech airlift tube. Highly effective and reasonable quiet too. Placed on the end and with two airlifts they’re effective enough for a VERY big tank.
@@andywoodscichlids2942 ah fantasic thank you definately a show fish. Also will be keeping an eye out for when you move on a red morph dovii id love one in my main tank.
I have concidered frontosa. Unfortunately i don't enough tanks to keep all the species I would like to. Beautiful stunning fish though. May be oneday. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Happy fishkeeping to you sir
@@andywoodscichlids2942 I had sponge filters in all of them and hang on backs on half with activated carbon. Do you have to do more water changes on your tanks with just sponge filters than the others? If I don’t do more frequent water changes on those they start to smell because they don’t have the carbon filtration. Could I possibly be doing something wrong with them? My ten year older son really became interested in fish keeping so we started to add a couple of tanks to support his interest so I’m trying to learn as much as I can about multiple different setups so I can teach him and also to help him learn how to research and find the information needed. We just found your channel so we haven’t be able to watch all your videos yet but we really enjoy what you do. You can tell you really enjoy what you do. Please keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍

Do you do water changes on all those tanks in that shed, if so how often?
I change 50% every other week.
Great video Andy, sorry about the female Asfraci, at least you have some growouts.
Thanks Bill. There not normally that aggressive.
May be it would have been better with dither fish. I'm just pleased i still have some from my first very first spawning.

Great video as usual. If you sell some asfraci is there a possibility of sending to Portugal ???
I'm afraid not. I don't ship overseas, sorry.

It's a Tomacichla asfraci quite a rare cichlid.

May be oneday.

Andy don't you use cannister filters at all in any of your tanks
Not in the fishroon. I have a three in the house. Two on wolfie's tank and one in the jags tank.
I still have 4 Dovii in a 6ft tank largest is 8 inches and others less than 4 inches, they are all shy and timid!!
It can take some time. They are often timid when juveniles. Give them time. Good luck with them.
Thanks for watching, happy fishkeeping to you sir
Hi mate. Managed to get another Umbe was told it’s a female. Not sore can ya help
Do you only use sponge filters?
Only sponge filters in the fishroon. I use other filters on tanks in the house.

THERES NO NEED TO SHOUT.
will not show best colour if breeding those fry back to the dad mate! better get new bloodline if could!
Tomocichla asfraci are one of the most rarest central cichlids in the hobby. All can be traced back to the same breeder here in the UK.
Even the ones on Dan's list at cichlids of the americas a wile back came from the same breeder in the UK.
I'd never be able to find unrelated.
Ever time you do the home work and research it always leads back to the same original parents.
