Been waiting for this for months. My fav fish tuber hands down. All the fish look beautiful as always The black nasty and red dovii are second to none on CZcams imo. Thanks for making the video Andy missed the content. Fish collection is hands down my fav, I knoe life can be Chaotic but your videos are greatly missed and appreciated🙏
He's the comic of the fish world. He doesn't actually realise we like listening to him. He seems to flit about too much worrying we aren't enjoying it but actually we just want to see more "shut up waffling woods" is his catchphrase. We love it though. And that Dovi at the end was a beast!! 😮
Awesome, Andy is back! I missed your vids...it has been months. I just got some 'Narino' Festae growouts. Looking forward to watching them grow and hopefully get a few breeding pairs!
Great to have you back Wolfie ! And you of course andy ! Lol. I’ve been following you and watching your videos for quite a long time now and can honestly say I never get bored of seeing your collection of beautiful cichlids , easily the best on CZcams, When you last posted about 5 months ago I mentioned in the comments that I love you’re rtm,s and I was trying to get a male to go with my female , but wasn’t having much success up here in Co Durham, they are not a common fish in any of the fish stores up here , but about 2 months ago I hit lucky and fish alive in Durham had two juvenile males that a customer had took in , so I bought the best one of the two, got him home and quarantined him for about 3 weeks then put him in with the female, he’s slightly smaller than she is and she gave him a bit of a beating, not the best start that I was hoping for ! Any way I now have them divided with a clear Perspex divider so they can see each other , at first they were trying to attack each other but they have calmed right down now and swim up to the divider and just look at each other , I’ve decided to try and get the male to put some size on and when he’s bigger than the female I’ll try them in together again but keeping a close eye on them for any aggression , fingers crossed I can get them to spawn, I’d love to rear some home bred fish. All the best Andy, looking forward to the festae update. Happy fish keeping. Ps. Sorry for waffling on ! Lol.
Congratulations and finding a male RTM . I wish you all the luck with the pairing up process. They can be very hard on one another. Thanks for your support taking the time to watch and comment. Happy fishkeeping to you my friend.
Was only wondering when ye were gona upload as i was watching a chilid video yesterday amd reminded me of you..good to see yr in good health and still at it good man👌
Glad to see you back sir. Was just telling my wife a few days ago how bummed I was that you hadn't uploaded in a while. You have inspired my fish keeping for a couple years. You keep pretty much all my favorites lol.
Great to have you back.... My Rio mag Umbee I bought from Predator aquatics which I believe was one of your juveniles you raised along with his wild female Umbee wife is doing very well....
Great video! Thank you for sharing! I just recently discovered Black Nasties ~ like 3 days ago. Totally "fasinated"! This video just opened the door to a whole new world for me. (So burnt out on bettas and guppies 😩). So many of these fish I have never seen before (not common in the pet trade). Must see and learn more! Please keep posting videos!
Just stumbled across your channel and so glad I did, I think this will be the fastest subscribe and like I've ever clicked love it. you my friend are brilliant thanks for a great vid and I'm looking forward to the next. all the best Jase.
Common old convicts versatile adaptable and beautiful, especially females. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Happy fishkeeping to you sir.
Beryllllllllll!, Fanta!!! Every aquarium every fish 10/10, love the 2 female red dovis, all the Texas/carpinte, was that a lone black nasty at 8 min? But yeah that growout tank is awesome. Wish you could put a live camera feed on it!!! Love that Green Terror also, awesome fins on it. Definitely prefers softer water.
Thanks for your support taking the time to watch and comment. Yes the green terror is struggling. I probably should add loads of bog wood and try soften up the water. Happy fishkeeping to you sir
Ever heard of Honduran red points. They look like convicts and I use them in my tanks with my aggressive fish. They breed like rabbits non stop fry. Your fish are beautiful!
Lyonsi are beautiful fish. I have kept them in the past, and would like to keep them again. Thanks for your support taking the time to watch and comment
My favourite channel is back. I had an amazing last year, it would be close to perfect if you had posted more frequently :)) oh! And one suggestion, not that you need any, if the multifasciatus cichlid isn't working out, why not do a girls hostel with different female species of your collection one each, might workout as they're usually more docile. Your female dovii(with Botox) and the female multifasciatus are just stunning
Nice looking fish Andy I have been watching your videos for a Few years now. I was wondering if a 180 gallon aquarium would work for a single male dovii?
I don't like getting involved in this topic. Everyone has their own views. My pair are in a 7ft x 2.5ft x 2ft- 250 us gal. I now realise I should have gone bigger. Bigger is always going to be better. A 180 will do for a few years.
As someone new to breeding, what's the ideal breeding situation. I am collecting different species and getting them from many different sources. Separating males and females and for breeding. But I see a lot of people buying groups that seem to be from the same parents. Is it worth it to source different fish to mix for breeding or just buy groups?
@@andywoodscichlids2942 hey let me ask you this. Whats to say you CANT keep large Central American cichlids in a tank by themself as small as say a 40 gl breeder tank? As long as the fish stay happy and healthy and in clean water even tho the swim room isn’t “Ideal”. I have 2 different fish but only 1 75 gallon tank and don’t have house space for anything bigger. But my fish are super healthy looking and seem happy but of course I wish I could get a bigger one.
The dumping tank is where i dump juveniles that I have nowhere else to put them. I just dump them in there. Them now and again, I'll sell some on. Hope that makes sense to you.
Been waiting for this for months. My fav fish tuber hands down. All the fish look beautiful as always The black nasty and red dovii are second to none on CZcams imo.

Best way 😂😂

Lovely
Thanks and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment
It's always good to see your excitement for the old Convicts, the females in my opinion are stunning fish and look great in any set up!
Common old convicts versatile adaptable and beautiful, especially females.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Happy fishkeeping to you sir.
Love your videos can’t wait for more, you should do a q and a. I have a few questions I’d love you to answer. Thanks for the great content
Happy New Year Andy!!
Same to you! and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

I don’t care how many times you show them every time it’s like I’ve never seen them before !!

Ever heard of Honduran red points. They look like convicts and I use them in my tanks with my aggressive fish. They breed like rabbits non stop fry.
Your fish are beautiful!
Red point's are beautiful little cichlids . Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Happy fishkeeping to you sir
Nice video you have some quality fish.
Q:Where did you get the Red Tiger?
I'd love to see a feeding video of the dumping tank just to see the variety
It's an interesting tank to watch. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
It’s a shame you’re on the other side of pond. I have 2” grow outs of Amphilophus lyonsi from TUIC ready to home. I’d love to see some in your tanks.
Lyonsi are beautiful fish. I have kept them in the past, and would like to keep them again.
Thanks for your support taking the time to watch and comment
Beautiful collection. Do you keep Vieja family?
Not for many years. Maybe I will again at some point. I'm fully stocked up at the moment.
Andy would sell some fry by any chance wouldnt be far im only in dublin
Stunning collection. Have you ever been tempted to keep Cichla?
Thank you.
I have kept juveniles cichla before. Unfortunately, i don't have a tank big enough to keep them long-term.
Happy fishkeeping to you sir.
Welcome back... The red terror tank looks nice 👍 No plans to get a female for Beryll?
Thank you. There are no plans for a female jag. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Happy fishkeeping to you sir
Hi Andy. Do you not find that you get overrun with baby convicts? They were the first cichlids I ever kept as a lad and boy did they breed!
My favourite channel is back. I had an amazing last year, it would be close to perfect if you had posted more frequently :)) oh! And one suggestion, not that you need any, if the multifasciatus cichlid isn't working out, why not do a girls hostel with different female species of your collection one each, might workout as they're usually more docile. Your female dovii(with Botox) and the female multifasciatus are just stunning
Thank you, that is a good suggestion. It would be an interesting, unusual tank for sure.

A 180 will do for a few years.
Thanks for let me know Andy I appreciate that
Happy new year Andy, any chance you could tell us the size of the tanks for each fish? I'm curious just in case I'm interested in the fish
I'll try to remember next time. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
@@andywoodscichlids2942 thank you very much! I love SA/CA cichlids so your channel is right up my alley
Where did you get your racking from?
Is an oil filled radiator heater safe to leave on all the time? My fish room is in my home.
As someone new to breeding, what's the ideal breeding situation. I am collecting different species and getting them from many different sources. Separating males and females and for breeding. But I see a lot of people buying groups that seem to be from the same parents. Is it worth it to source different fish to mix for breeding or just buy groups?
What you got livebearers for?
Does your Dovi hits their head against the tank lid because of their reflection in the water ? Mine does this 😅😅
Are you ONLY using sponge filters for all your aquariums? Or do you have sump systems too?
The tanks in the house have various filters systems. All the tanks in my fishroom are run on sponge filters alone.
@@andywoodscichlids2942 hey let me ask you this. Whats to say you CANT keep large Central American cichlids in a tank by themself as small as say a 40 gl breeder tank?

But my fish are super healthy looking and seem happy but of course I wish I could get a bigger one.
I got 2 black nasty they had babies once but now they want stop fighting any tips?
Hi when was you selling the male RTM?
Not decided yet, but one will have to go at some point.
Have a red dovi 3 years old and about 13 inches , can females get that big ???
What does dumping tank means?
The dumping tank is where i dump juveniles that I have nowhere else to put them.
I just dump them in there. Them now and again, I'll sell some on.
Hope that makes sense to you.
@@andywoodscichlids2942 👍
Hey Andy do you ship to the United States?
Sorry don't ship over sea
@@andywoodscichlids2942 thanks for the reply. That’s ok I love the content tho.
Nice Blk nasty
Wish you was closer
Are you not in the UK
Your tanks are way too small poor fish
