How and Why I Stopped Overfeeding My African Cichlids!
This video will give ideas to anyone in the fish hobby that considers how much they feed their fish. African cichlids eat a lot but what are some benifits of cutting back!

Peer pressure works wonders!
Everything you said in the video was so true. I left 7 tanks of African cichlids for 9 days with no one coming to feed or check on them while I was at beach and they did great didn't lose 1 fish. Sometimes just have to realize if you have things done right your 🐟will be fine.
Ricky you’re awesome! Thanks for your great videos. I appreciate you!!
I travel for work and I don't feed my fish for 2 to 3 days on a regular basis, never have problems. This concept actually works
Nice to hear from you! How about feeding every other day Rick..
Well well well, good to see you again !!! 👍🏼
Miss ya buddy, i think about you almost every time i look at my frontosas. Hope everything in your life is going great and that you're loss has subsided from losing your Dad. I lost mine just last March. I know it's tough dude, I'm constantly wishing i could just talk with him on the phone again.😢 🙏😃
Ricky !!! Where have you been??? Make a new video!!!
Need an update on how the icebreakers are doing :)
Where’s Ricky???

Sorry to hear about your loss. I've entertained the idea of getting into shrimp, if you do start, I'm watching.

@@RickyKenerlyCichlids hey ricky sorry for loss man. I really am I lost my mom 5 yrs ago. But you have to continue to do what makes you happy because that’s what they would want for us. And honestly you are good at making videos and talking about frontosas, so if your going to do shrimp videos do it with the same passion you did the frontosas. God bless man !!

Bring on the shrimp videos Ricky! Whooooh
I find it best to feed 3 small feedings a day, all the food is gone before it hits the bottom. Everyone does it different.
I agree this can work. Not so much with juveniles but congrats to you.
My fish stopped eating like they use to eat? Not sure why??
I had a frontosa for 35 years and the last 5 years I fed him one boiled egg every day and with a net scooped up the waste I only lost him to hurricane Sandy but the high protein made him live a long life I also fed him pieces of Sea Bass and Striper and he loved it Water Changes were 1 a week but he was 16 inches long and had a 3 inch jaw me and my wife named him Black BeautyAmazing
Can the frontosa maintain and thrive in nitrates between 20-40 or do I need to bring it down 10-20 for optimal growth and health..great informational videos

40 is a little high just keep it under 30 by the time you change your water and you be completely fine
Great video. 1 question what if there juveniles how many times.
Can I breed 2 wild moba frontosa in a 55g breeder? Nice info and good to see u back
Must have missed this one when it originally dropped. Tammy miss your videos brother. I haven't don't much recently either.

Starting up my freshwater shrimp again! I might do some videos later on! Things changed over the last few years to have my heart back in cichlids. I still have them I’m just not into them like I was at one time!

@@RickyKenerlyCichlids Is your channel still active? Are you still keeping mbuna? I moved to the Knoxville area a few years ago. It would be nice to know someone in the area who like mbuna. When we lived in Phoenix, AZ they were by far the most popular freshwater fish. I have a 225 I'm getting ready to set up for mbuna. If my wife lets me, I might upgrade to a Planet Aquariums Mega Matrix 310. Thanks in advance.
Ricky where are you man 😢😢??
Good talk!

I haven’t had those fish in a long time so I don’t want to give an opinion. Watch their bellies and that will help in your feeding decisions!
I had to go to a rehab because I was feeding to much! I’m better now… hahaha

Do you have a sump for this tank? Surely with a tank this crowded you got a sump underneath?

You should start eating only when you feed your fish......

Looks like the fish aren't the only overfed critters in the house
