Want to learn how to keep your very own African Cichlids? It's not as hard as you think, let me teach you 😊
👉 kavemanaquatics.com/keeping-african-cichlids/
Thanks for the unboxing video Kev! Glad to see the Tangerine Tiger pulled through. We love your vids, very informational with great tips for the hobby. Keep it up!
Thanks bro! I'm glad he made it too, strong little dude! 💪 Thanks for the awesome fish, will be back for more! 😊
Thats the nicest growout tank/Quarantine tank ive ever seen.🙆♂️
🤣🤣🤣
Man I just wanted let you know you have some beautiful fish and you can tell you really love your fish. You inspire me to want to be great at caring for my fish..respect bro
That’s awesome! Glad I’ve inspired you!! 😊💪
@@KaveManAquatics I have my 55 gallons of African cichlids I have canister filter I have everything set up but can you plis tell me where u buy ur fishes ?
Congrats on the new addition Kev! Tank looking great and fish colors are vibrantly displayed.. Good luck Brother.. Keep up the great work!
Thanks bro! Will do! 😊
Those are some great additions bro. I knew you had to be adding some fire when that tank size jumped. Thanks so much for sharing
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it! 😊
That's a cool looking Tangerine Tiger Hap!! Looks like Toucan Sam😁
Becoming a fan of your videos! I'm a beginner and I'm loving it! Your tips are very helpful! Thank you 😃👍🏼
Glad you find the channel helpful! 😊💪
Loved it! So many variations of african cichlids & you did it right to choose clown loaches to be their tank mates & cleaning service cause i have them too in my tank, can't wait to see more species bro! 👍💪
Thanks 👍 Glad you enjoyed it!
Loving the new setup and thanks again for all of the solid, clear advice. I literally have watched every single one of your videos and just set up my first 125 gallon tank. I even searched high and low for those same stacked stone decorations you had in your 75 lol. With a little fight from the wife I set it up in my formal
Living room and she absolutely loves it. It’s all thanks to you Kev. I’m going to run a Frontosa tank and hopefully I can raise these juveniles up to adults. (I know I’ll need a 210+ in about 2-3 years). Please keep the content coming, and thanks again.
Where did you find the stacked rocks ive been searching and cannot find them!
Please drop a link!
@@KlikAndSeuss What I had to do was go to their website once I clicked that link (I used the app)... but I had to keep changing locations in my area to see which Petsmart might still have them in stock. I live in Atlanta and actually several stores still had them.
You’re right, she probably loves it lol mine does too 😆 Glad you’re enjoying the videos! Good luck with those frontosa, they are awesome fish!
Amazing stuff bro like always love that blue dolphin one it’s pretty nice!
Thanks! 😊
Great video!! Thanks for telling us some of the details on the Prime and Stress Guard!! Great tanks!
Thanks bro, glad you enjoyed 😊
Dude love the new additions, tank is looking awesome
Thanks bro! 💪
Like the videos very helpful. I’ve had African cichlids before and have bread them. Haven’t had a active tank for a while I have well water and have been uneasy about starting a tank with this kind of water
Amazing additions. Great video. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Looking sweet kaveman. Loving all the popping colors.
Thanks bro! 😊
Nice setup my friend love the new pickups that you have and God bless
Thanks bro! 😊
That new tank is looking perfect. Keep it going.
Thanks bro! 😊
Glad the first guy pulled through, beautiful new additions..
Same here, thanks! 😊
Brother Kev phenomenal fish man. Tanks are coming out very nice.
Thank you bro! 😊💪
Beutiful tank set up man😊👍👍
Thanks bro! 😊
I love your tank and videos Kev!
Thanks! 😊
Lookin crisp! That 210 got me settin some serious goals!
Lol Thanks man!
Wow that’s awesome 😎 Great to see the new fish 🐟 And the Way to spot out for signs of Bad Looking Fish 🐠 as Always Good Content and great information, Just Ordered My 10 K Hoodie (Red) . And Bout to Go to the Pet Store to upgrade my filter. :) Thanks will stay Tuned in for Morel
Awesome, thanks for the support!! Petsmart is currently having a sale on all its filters. $400 dollar FX6 for $250
Hi Kev. Opening a box of cichlids is as good as opening presents on Christmas morning. >)))o>
You got that right!!! 🤣🤣
Best aquatic youtuber out there!! U should do more tropical fish stuff!! Sick vids keep it up!
Thanks bro! Will do 😊
Just got my order from snake river cichlids in yesterday, platinum OB breeding pack. Pretty excited
Nice!!💪
LET'S GOO!! Cool hash tag for your merch😎. I clicked on this so fast😂 Beautiful ciclids collection. You were a hero to those guys, the Tangerine Tiger Hap and the Red Empress. Did u say "Clown Roaches"? (did I hear that right?) If they serve such great purpose in the tank than I may have to get a couple for mine. I'll remember to do a 50% fresh water change in addition to new fish. I wonder how would those small OBs be treated by those big guys when you eventually add them in the 210🤔 awesome video, as always and beautiful addition to the 210
Lmao!!! They are Clown Loaches 🤣 I should have added some text, easy to confuse that for guys that never heard of them.
The smaller OB’s, At the size they are now will be a snack! Lol They need to be at least 3” to join the main tank with the big boys, and then swim fast 🤣
@@KaveManAquatics 🤣🤣🤣I'm Laughing Out Loud at what I thought i understood "Clown Roaches", totally unfamiliar with them but I've learned something new from you, yet again
Great video, clown loaches are great fish and very entertaining
Yea, cant wait for them to grow a bit and add to the main tank. 😊
Awesome fish and tanks bro keep it up
Thanks bro 😊
Great video sir. I ordered some fish from snake river Chiclids and they were fantastic!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
You sure do like OB peacocks you have a lot of them in your tank Lol Great colorful fish keep up the work
Yea I like the color variations, I don’t discriminate against them lol
Hey Kev so excited to watch this video and lite replay salivating 😊 at the view of that amazing 210! Magnificent! Great job bro and what amazing new fellas you have received. By the way do you ship your tee to UK? I might have missed the chance to order it if you do 🙁. Take care my friend
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! Yes they ship worldwide, and window’s still open until tonight! Thanks for your support!! 💪💪
Loving the tank man.
Thank you sir! 💪
Looking good! Snake River Cichlids has the best strains of OB's! You should do an overview of your stock list in your new tank soon!
What pump are you using for water changes?
Already on my list bro, and coming up soon 😊 I use this pump for the 210 - amzn.to/35UI6b7
Cool unboxing, definitely enjoyed
Thanks Adam! I’m inspired by that beautiful 300 you have 💪💪
What a save!!! 💪💪💪💪
Thanks, and he’s doing great still today! 💪
i am more for groups of african cichlids in combination with some synodontis catfish, but cant denied those colours!!
Hi Kev, Nice OB collections..
Thanks! 😊
Nice selection brother! I have Blue Dolphins and Redfin Borleyis and man do they grow fast. Beautiful fish.
I’ve been wanting those guys for so long! Glad I finally got some 😊
@@KaveManAquatics Blue Dolphins always shimmering. Local pet store has 125g for $400 including stand. Might pull the trigger but still have to convince the wife lol
Good luck! lol

Tank looks beautiful
Thanks! 😊
@@KaveManAquatics no problem
Those are some nice looking fish bro I got about 10 false julii Cory in my 40 gallon I just love watching those little fish sifting through the sand lol
The love we have for our fish is real! Lol
@@KaveManAquatics definitely! Nothing makes me happier than seeing my fish happy and healthy 😊
I did my new 75 gallon tank Set-Up on Thursday May the 27th. It is now Sunday. 3 days after & the Ammonia is at zero and the Nitrate is at zero. The tank is still a little cloudy. Kinda like your tank here in the video (after your water change). My question: How long does it take for it to be crystal clear? I have a PX2 canister filter with course/medium/fine filters, plenty of ceramic media/rocks/stars, etc. in the middle and a Nitrate Bio-bag at the top with about a 1/4 of poly-fil to top it off. I have 2 power heads, one on each side. I have been doing the stabilizer from day one. Quick-start @ day one and I put 3 caps of PRIME in yesterday to eliminate the .05/1.0 Ammonia that the test shown yesterday. But, as I said. All levels are perfect now. Thanks KEV!!
New tanks can get a bacterial bloom which takes a few days to clear up on its own. But there are many other factors that can keep your water cloudy. Check out my free ebook and implement all of these and you'll always have crystal clear water - bit.ly/H2O
great choice of fish from snake river cichlids tried to get the same ones but they sold out going to definitely take advantage of their black Friday deals though that's for sure.
I was very happy with my first purchase with them, highly recommend! 💪
Yeah man second time I buy from them I had gotten a sulphur head and canary yellow ob from them they are awesome def one of a kind fish.
Loving the tank mate
Thanks bro! 😊
Love your tanks your my inspiration to get it right thanx
Thanks!! 😊😊
Soooo beautiful!!!
😊😊😊😊😊
Wow I thought for sure that poor guy was a goner but all he wanted was some fresh water!
Oh man seeing this beautiful fish are amazing I’ve been hooked on buying them since I been watching ur videos I did not know that bout loaches where did you buy your cichlids from this shipment from?
This shipment came from snakerivercichlids.com Great selection, price and shipping.
Just order 6 new fish because of KaveMan from Snake River Cichlids. I’ll keep y’all posted when they arrive
Nice!! Hope you used the kaveman discount code!! 💪💪
We had the same thing happen with our Apache peacock from Snake River. We quickly got him in hospital tank with an additional air stone. He finally recovered, and when he eventually went into the big tank, Big Daddy became tank boss. >)))o>
Lobe stories like that...A fish on his death bed, recovers, and become huge! I have about 4 of those in my tank now. Automatic favorites!
I love clown loaches with cichlids! Will you show us your water temperature thermostat set up? I'm struggling with keeping a constant temp during water changes. Thanks as always!
Don’t really have a set up. I adjust my hot and cold at the tap, test with a thermometer...once it’s right, I let it rip.
Yes finally a new video
What you mean? Its only been a week lol
I know it been a week but I always looking for new video like almost everyday lol 😂
LOL, Glad you're enjoying them! 😊
Stress guard with prime are very effective, as soon as we put them in the water, the guys starting color up and ease their movement!
I do take snap of the fish in the package whether they are dead, or, just playing dead! Or sometime swimming side ways or upside down. Side ways and uside down are most of the times due to stroke, and water temperature fluctuations! Putting those "temporarily sick" guys with full oxygenate with sponge filter is small tank (may be 10 gallons) will be most effective way to recover them fully, adding just a pinch of epsom salt in medical 10 Gallons tank will be most effective! Well, I use pinch of epsom salt, stress guard, and prime in half tank water and half fresh water in 10 Gallons medical tank do the trick most of the time. This is my way of saving and getting them back to life!! Your approach to save that fish was effective too. Just sharing my experience here
Man, beautiful 210 gallons, I am keeping Flowerhorns and Parrots, oscars and other Cichlids in little than 100 Gallons, didn't venture to upgrade, but hey, looking your setup is very tempting! Hahahahhaa.
Much appreciated your video
Thanks for those tips, very effective! Thats a great mix of American Cichlids you got, I'm tempted to start a tank with those guys as well...Trying to decide between that and a salt water tank.
Another awesome video!! BTW where did u get ur 210 with stand?
Thanks bro, found it at my local Pets Warehouse. They had it in stock and on the floor. Theres a glass shortage in the country currently so you may need to find something that your local store already has.
Love the video, as usual. Got a few questions, what was that you used for the water change? Do clown loaches have the same function as plecos in a cichlid tank? Can you put Angels in with these African cichlids? I see you made a decision on your 75, smart.
It’s a vivosun pump and hose, links to both in the description. Clown loaches sift through the substrate and break loose any trapped detritus, plecos eat algae, good to have both. And no way, angels will get tore up with these boys.
10k is the beginning 😁
Thanks! 😁 Just crossed 18k 😊
What's up Kev love the new 210 fish is gonna look good in that size of a enviroment. I got a quick question where did you get that wood from and what's the link cause it would look great I'm my 110g.
Thanks and keep up the great work.
Thanks bro, its not wood, no tannins in my tank...its a fake decor found at my local petsmart.
Nice man lovet !!!
hey man you dont cuarentine enny of this guys ?
Yea I quarantined all of them...it was pre recorded.
Hi Kave, I got my first yellow fin Lwanda and he enjoys swimming against wavemaker..
Awesome! 😊👍
Lovely tanks but my main tank is smaller then your quarantine tank at 65gallons. Lovely fish and aquascapes
No worries I didn’t start with this tank or the tank before it. We all go at our own pace. The beauty of this hobby is there’s something that works for everyone 😊
Let's go! Next time order from James at the Cichlid Shack.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll look him up.
@@KaveManAquatics James is a great guy, there's videos on CZcams "cichlid shack" you won't be disappointed!
I’ve had great success with snake river. I’m very surprised to see that bag leaking, never had an issues with them, so hopefully it was just a random fluke and hope it doesn’t deter you from buying from them again. They have good customer service also
@@greygoose117 I’m pretty sure it was a fluke, all other bags were in perfectly sealed condition. And the fish looked great and were all healthy. Even tangerine tiger as bad as he looked recovered almost immediately.
Love your videos! If you are in the US you should check out live fish direct they have amazing Cichlids farmed in my local state of Utah!
Thanks for the tip!
Im like 😳😳😳they deliver fish i never knew
🤣🤣
Thank you for your videos. Just found you yesterday on a google search and am glad I did. A visit to the local aquarium store had me thinking I would never be able to pull off a tank again but your videos have simplified a lot for me. You are awesome. Probably a stupid question, but when I hadboth a salt and a fresh in a 29 gal and the fresh had cichlids mixed with 2 angels 22 YEARS AGO, I would do my "partial" when I vac'd the tank each week. Is that not the same thing? I generally had about 40% of my tank water gone by the time I got done vac'ing the tank and would then treat and refill with the new water. Is that not done anymore? I see you use a pump to do your partials, but this is probably because you have such a massive tank, too. I am thinking about getting a 175 with cichlids when I get back into it.
If you removed 40% while vacuuming then yes that’s a good water change too 👍
I just put the water in my 39 gal tank today trying to figure out the water science lots of micro bubbles but when I get the biology right I’m thinking about my first fish might be these they are very pretty thanks for all the good info
Thank you! Glad you like them 😁
I highly suggest you check out my playlist for beginners. It'll be very helpful for you 😁 - czcams.com/play/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er.html
I’m glad you ordered from them I was looking but was not sure.what kind of sand do you use kev ?
My first time and I have to say it was a good transaction. Except for that 1 fish almost dead, but sometimes a leaky bag can happen. I use 100% aragonite sand in this tank...check it out - amzn.to/3fl2sgH
@@KaveManAquatics do you still have the aragonite crush coarol in the filter even tho you have the sand
Awsome video as usual. ..quick questions. ...is your 75 gallon a marineland majesty setup and your 210 gallon a aqueon setup? Keep the videos coming I am thoroughly enjoying them!
Yes and yes, good eye 😉
Yes and yes, good eye 😉
Awesome tank and additions! In observation of your video, I noticed that you still had your pumps running. So if I’m correct, when I do a water change, I can let my fluval 307 continue to run, as long as my water level doesn’t get too low below my intake?
Absolutely! It just helps to continue breaking the surface and adding oxygen to your tank while water changing 👍
@@KaveManAquatics That’s a great point! Thanks for your input. You have no idea how much I have learned from your channel. it’s also re-invigorated my passion for the hobby. Thanks again Kev. Keep the great content coming.
That’s awesome! Glad you’re enjoying the channel 😁
Awesome video, we're looking to get a 210g tank, what type and how many water heaters do you recommend?
I use 2 of these heaters in my 210 - kavemanaquatics.com/product-category/equipment/heaters/
Love the new tank! I have a 55 gallon with 6 peacocks and one blood parrot. How many do you think I can have total in that size tank?
55 is the min size. I wouldn’t add too many more...or a tank upgrade will soon follow 😆
Hey man! Another great vid! Couple of questions, how many clown loaches would you recommend for a 125? Also I see you used snake River. Who did you order the loaches from? My local shop never has them. Thanks!
You can have a good amount in there, I wanted to start with 6 in my 210, unfortunately 2 didn't make it...But you could go anywhere from 5-10 in your 125. Just keep in mind, they grow slow, BUT THEY GROW BIG.
You'll laugh at where I found my loaches bro....EBAY! yup, check it out -

Beautiful
Thank you
You're welcome bro
I wacthing you everyday
That’s awesome! Glad you’re enjoying the channel! 😊💪
Tanks coming along nicely would love to
add a 210 but my 125 is in my living room and basement movie room below would have to add brace
Add that brace bro!! 💪💪🤣🤣
KaveMan Aquatics 😃😃 the wife may have me move to the garage bro
Plenty of room for fish in there 🤣🤣🤣
Hey I was wondering where you got your stacked stone décor that I saw in a previous video.
Found it at my local PetSmart.
I remember when there was less than a 1000 subscribers lol congrats bro
I remember less than 100! Thanks bro, you original guys made it happen! 💪💪
@@KaveManAquatics I’m planning on upgrading to a 125 I use 2 fluval hang on back on my 60 gallon do you think the fx6 will be enough for the 125?
Absolutely, perfect filter for a 125
I have one or 10 of all of those guys ...👌👌
lol nice 🤣
Looking real good! Those Snake River cichlids seem to be high quality fish. Gonna have to try an order from them soon. Curious, what is the name of the fish at 0:17 in the bottom middle of the tank? Peace!
Thanks bro, Bottom middle is a Red Empress and a Fryeri OB behind him.
I see plenty of OBs in your tank and order. What's been your experience with them? I'm cycling a new 180g tank and wanted to start with peacocks only then cautiously venture into haps and OBs. I'd love to have OBs from jump, but only if safe. Also, what do you think of my general strategy? I kept mbuna before so I'm terrified of aggression. Thanks for all you do for the hobby boss.
Yea mbuna can be that way. Your strategy is a good one. Peacocks are the least aggressive. Overstocking helps with aggression as well as many other things...the OB’s really aren’t any more or less aggressive than anyone else. It’s kind of a shot in the dark. When you do get OB’s just get them a bit smaller than everyone else, so they’ll no their place at the bottom early on and not act so tough lol
@@KaveManAquatics thanks man
Nice
Thanks
Oh! P. S. What type of fish is Flacko II again? Thanks! ( I wanna get one, they have one at the Local fish store here in Richmond, VA in a 150G tank almost 2 foot long)!!!
He's an Arowana and they require very big tanks. My 150 isnt even big enough for him
My wife recently gave me permission to purchase a 75 gallon tank. I've decided to create a Mbuna cichlid community. On an earlier video you stated turn the water over 10 times an hour. So for a 75 gallon the fluval fx4 @700g/h would be sufficient? Was look at bubbles but not anymore! I love your tank setup
congrats on getting permission 😊 Just go with the FX6, you'll get one eventually anyway, might as well get it now.
What do you think about snake river cichlids?
They're fish in the photos always look incredible, but I've mostly just used Imperial tropicals.
The fish I’ e gotten from them look just like their photos. Check my Facebook group for discount codes. Link in the description.
If I were you I would stick to imperial tropicales . I received an order from them with sunken belly and ich and two fish bags barely had any air in them .
That ob eureka looks super legit
For real!! Guys looking good even during shipping...Cant wait to see him when hes not stressed! 😊💪
@@KaveManAquatics I'm in Tulsa Oklahoma and breed and sell African cichlids out out of my home with 25+ tanks and 4-6 totes from 150-375g going at all times. Mainly Malawi peas and haps but a few Vics and tangs as well 👌
You don't pretreat your water ahead of time that's what I do I use a 32 gallon Rubbermaid garbage can. That's pre-treated with water. I plan on adding a second and third garbage can for all my tanks that way I have over 60 gallons pretreated at all times. But I've never used stress guard during a change that's a good idea. I use the prime and and I also put bacteria in the water to. And I keep a heater in my garbage can to keep it at the same temperature as my tank. But seachem is the best
Never had to pre-treat the water...just add prime then add straight from the tap after adjusting the temp.
@@KaveManAquatics my water quality is not so good here
Ahh, makes sense then. Keep doing what works well for you 💪

Nice. How long do/did you keep them in quarantine?
Dont remember exactly, but I usually give all new fish about 2 weeks

Kev is there an alternative for the Seachem Stress Guard? They don’t sell it in the U.K!
Try API stress coat. Not as strong but does the same.

Hey kev how long do you wait upon new fish arriving before you add them into your main tank
I try to give them at least 2 weeks in quarantine
Where did you get the aquarium deco?
Found it at my local PetSmart
let me ask you a question kev, are cichlids like some type of fishes need female to color up or buying males is enough?
by the way this new vid was lit man. keep it up till you reach 1M one day.👍👍👍
Females can bring out great color in males...but they can also bring great problems. 1 or 2 females in a tank of mostly males can cause extreme aggression from all the males trying to be the dominant male. Usually if you want them to breed you would have 3-5 females for every male. Problem with that is the females don’t have any color, so nobody wants a tank like that, unless it’s specifically for breeding.
In a main display usually it’s an all male tank to keep aggression down. And you still get plenty of color.
@@KaveManAquatics agreed the one thing you can do to make a breeding tank nice with haps especially is have a breeding colony with 3-6males and 15-20 females then the females tend to give the males great contrast .....😉
@@KaveManAquatics I have multiple show tanks with colony's but my favorite is my dual Lethrinops species tank with 1m + 6f red cap "itungi" and 1m + 4f of yellow collar "masimbwe" in my living room.. then my tangerine tiger colony is 3m 12f in my bedroom
What is the right measurements for a good tank?
That’s up to you

Hey brother my flowerhorn has one eye that has gotten a little cloudy. I’ve been medicating him for the past two weeks with Mela and Pimafix. Any other suggestions? It’s gotten a little better but not a huge improvement.
Not too experienced with that, but I know aquarium salt would help! Try a teaspoon per 10 gallons
KaveMan Aquatics thank you!!
