Thanks for watching, I hope you learned something about the Venustus from this video! Here is a playlist full of SPECIES PROFILES - kzread.info/head/PL_uxgVnMAdE73xefUn471EP62_VxnnoW5

You need to get a sponsor to donate a really big aquarium- 1,000 gallons or more. Or,find a used one and maybe a tax write off as per your business. Only a few mega Mbuna tanks on youtube..and I don't know why since the Lake Malawi videos should be inspirational to be tank owners. Crystal clear waters and large boulders. Sounds good!

cool

great video mate. I'm new to African cichlids...

Hey man great video. I was wondering if you can touch on breeding African cichlids again. I am wondering roughly how long in a 40 gallon grow out tank it will tank? I also would like some more information on male to female ratios for breeding. And also what size the females/males will be able to breed. Also how many 2 inch fry can be in a 40(it’s my grow out tank) thank you for the help and have a good day. p.S another video on this would also be very helpful. Thanks!

I have 2 juvis one and a half inch each, how fast do they grow?

so beautiful! always have wanted one, but the size is a little intimidating. totally not related but what type of peacock is that really light pink one you've got?

Yes they can get pretty big, not only in length but overall mass lol. The pink peacock with a couple of blotches is a dragonblood OB. I'm guessing that's the one you were referring to.

What substrate are you using? What brand?

Me frm India bro. I keep 2 venus also

On average at how many inches before the male faces turns blue?

What kind of specie of African cichlid is that at minute 3:35. The small fish in the middle right below the OB peacock and upper right middle of the venustus. He has nice color orange and grey blue. What specie is that?

Hard to tell which you are referring to, but it might be the eureka red swallowtail, or cynotilapia cobue

Nice fish. Do you have any ruby red for sell?

Not at the moment sorry.

How many can I have in 90 gallon

How do you feed them all? The Mbuna and the meat eaters? I have a mix as well but Mbuna and SA Cichlids.

They all eat a high quality cichlid pellet, northfin cichlid formula or new life spectrum. It contains a good mix of protein and veggies, if you want to feed the mbuna a treat they love algae wafers and veggie pellets

South Florida African Cichlids oh ok! So the cichlid version works for the mbuna as well?! I was thinking I had to get the veggie version. But just teasing them with the algae wafers is enough to get them the veggies they need? Thanks for the reply!

Yea, the pellet is an all in one for all types of cichlids. With mbuna you must be a little careful of not overfeeding food with high protein because of bloat. If you really want to, you can use veggie pellet for mbuna and regular cichlid pellet for the other cichlids. I have done this in the past and the mbuna would wait for the veggie pellets, they prefer them. Another thing you can do is leave algae on the back and side glass, as well as rocks and they will graze on it.

@@southfloridaafricancichlid6423 Ah great tips! Yeah I'm using Ocean Nutrition Cichlid veggie pellets. All the fish go nuts for it. But I then mix it up with regular cichlid pellets and flake food. I have to much of a mix in m tank! haha! Mbuna, couple jempseys, couple firemouths, a parrot, couple convicts, some black skirt tetras, giant danios, couple corys, a syndontis cat. Silly mix I know...but I'm transition to an Mbuna tank as I go! I just fell in love with them! Once the SA's get to large I'l adopt them out. Right now everyone is under 3" and happy. Guess we'll see what happens!
