That's really nice of you to say! I've seen much prettier African tanks, but there isn't a lot you can do with the decor if you want to have happy ACs. I hope you get like it soon!
Outstanding set-up dude. just found ur channel. That Insignis Hap OB is absolutely beautiful to me. Blue and White with a bit of gold is one of my favorite color schemes. I would love more info on it if possible. Like What Hap and Mbuna cross made it exactly? was all the offspring speckled the same? have any more? lol sorry if that was too much.
Thank you, and thank you for enjoying my fish. Unfortunately he is no longer with us… there was a chlorine disaster a week ago. Full video on it 😭. Very sad time!! Just added new fish, though.
@Cichlid Charmer, I love the video. Thanks for showing all the residents of Alcatraz. Beautiful. I have a 65 gallon acrylic called Rock City with all Mbunas. 23 in all. I'm now having a 90 gallon acrylic made which I want to do all male Peacocks. I've been dealing with Imperial Tropicals. I'm gonna go with the 2"-3" guaranteed males. I hope I don't have any problems. I would like to do a total of 12 to 15 in all and two pieces of driftwood to break that line of sight. I'm hoping that it will be beautiful also. Going to subscribe. I like how you give detailed information. Please keep the videos coming. As a newcomer, I really appreciate it.
Thank you! Rock City - cool name 😎. Where are you getting the acrylic from? I rarely have any issues at all with Imperial Tropicals - I bet you’ll be fine.
Sorry I thought I answered this. I’ve had good fortune with Snake River and Imperial Tropicals. I’ve heard good things about Ron’s cichlids and Ivan Pitre on fb.
Awesome love seeing this thank you for doing it! I'm not sure which is my favourite I think if it were my tank it would change everytime I look! One thing maybe to think of with your Yellow Lab, Labs are not 'true' Mbuna, in the sense that they live between the rock and the open water and are slightly more omnivourous than other Mbuna species so mixing them with Peacocks and Haps is often a safer bet than other species like the Mbuna waiting in your 75. Acei sort of fit in this category as well though not as well as Labs - if you ever wanted to try you could probably add more Yellow Labs but you might then have the problem of breeding which you seem to avoid nicely right now.
That is interesting! I have thought about it but dismissed the idea because I thought I would need to add a lot more hiding places, and I don’t want to do that. My daughter would love more Rays though. He’s the only fish she likes 😂
@@CichlidCharmer I've always shied away from Yellow Labs because they seem 'too obvious' but I just don't think they can be beat for such an intense yellow, mellow personalities. They are definitely on my list!
Wow. I just discovered your channel. Excellent video. I am starting a 135 gallon chiclid aquarium. I will use your list!! Are there any other chiclid sellers, you can reccommed? I noted down snake river. Also what king of substrate is that, it very nice. Maybe it's crushed coral. Not sure. Thanks
Thank you, Gregory! I love Ron’s Cichlids. I also just received a great shipment from Live Fish Direct. Some others that have good reputations are Andre Pitre on fb and black label, but I haven’t used them. My substrate is aragonite. Crushed coral is good in filters, but the edges are too sharp for these sand sifters to use as substrate.
@@CichlidCharmer he really is !! I’ve had a lot of the more basic cichlids over the yrs just from local places and once I started browsing around the internet I found a lot really cool ones !
Changing a normal tropical community tank includes angels,gouramis,clowns and a few larger tetras slowly over to a African peacock tank what peacock’s can I add to start the change over hopefully the more friendlier common fish the better
My advice would be to do it all at once. Rehome all the community fish, adjust your pH if necessary with something like aragonite sand and/or crushed coral, and then add 5 or so peacocks at a time. They're just too mean for those community fish and they would probably destroy them, maybe while you sleep.
Could be a Taiwan Empress I’ve seen them look similar but it’s definitely has some red empress like you said So fluent with the names man. Great job 🙏 …edit didn’t see someone had already suggested that🤘
@@CichlidCharmer haha probably just the subdominant then. They likely wouldn’t have gotten an opportunity for that to happen at a reputable breeder like you probably ordered from🤘
The Dolphins are always one of my favourites when I'm looking at african cichlids, what would be the minimum tank size in your opinion to keep a single specimen? Thanks
@@MakoyUnggoy they get about ten inches so I suppose you could do a single in a 75. I would like a few more feet of swimming room side to side if it were me. I’m that way though. I didn’t get an Oscar for my 180 because I thought he should have more room side to side.
You can but you have to take a lot of things into consideration. You have to have enough space for them and you need a certain amount of females to every male. The males will certainly be very colorful if you breed them correctly.
I e had fish off and on since I was a kid. These Africans I’m going on three years. This video will tell you all about the tanks: FULL TOUR -- Home & 5 TANKS czcams.com/video/YQZyrqQcEHc/video.html Thanks for asking!
Oh man, I did a terrible job with it! Not enough soap. You have to SPRAY that soapy water on HARD 🤩 Anyway, stick the light toward the front of the tank and it’ll help hide it in the shadows.
Rick is A Red top aristochromis Lithobates that's why he doesn't have a blaze...they are relative to the otopharnyx Lithobate Zimbabwe Rock aka Z rocks which they are more blue and have a nice yellow Blaze....still a beautiful fish you have

Hi Squatch! So I think I’m going with Boris for the borlyi and Victor I’ve had two suggest, so that’s my VC10. Good solid names! You think that the ugly one is a Taiwan along with the other one that’s a Taiwan? They really look so different. I have considered the orange one to be a strawberry albino, but pics of them don’t look orange. Thoughts? Thanks for piping in!
@@CichlidCharmer the “ugly” one is likely a red empress. I’ve seen them range from mild reds to super reds. The mild reds just look fugly to me 😂 it that albino is more orange and not red (looks red in the video) - then it’s likely just an albino Dragonblood. They’ll be typical albino red eyes and orange all over generally
@CichlidCharmer deep water haps are very light blue with some pearlescent hint to them. Gissel black face haps look similar to deep water haps but much darker blue. But you definitely have a star sapphire that is starting to chip. They're slow growers though so it might take a little bit but i see at speckles on yours already. My guess is yours is about 2 yrs old.
@@MiniMonsters508 well really as many as you want as long as the filtration and water changes can keep the water clean and healthy. HOWEVER, I highly discourage this.

(They beat up my Bettas and my guppies are almost gone!). Any African cichlids that could get along with them????
@@Thecla999 African cichlids would destroy your angels. I would look at some geophagus cichlids. Depending on the size of your tank, some smaller ones like my red headed tapajos would work.
