Wow what a bunch of show offs.

Lol, I saw your tank video also, I'd like to see others too though, just trying to get more people to post them.

I can't wait till you get your fish room setup and get a better camera, I need a better one too, but I'd like to see some good quality images of you peacocks.

[mike dunagan]

Go to the photo thread, and I have Mike Dunagan's Photo thread with pics since I got my new camera.

I saw and I'm amazed, you have some great fish, and great photos, I can never get mine to come out that good, don't know if it is the camera, or the person behind it, lol.

[mike dunagan]

well the cannon 40D does help, lighting helps, and taking tons of pictures. Nice fish help too...

Very cool tank, I really like the black sand. The clown loaches look really good with the frontosas too. How big is the tank?

I had problems too, I had to click on the edit button in the top right corner, looks like "a/A", then I pasted the embed code after clicking the youtube button.

I really like that type of music, goes real good with the fish, very relaxing.

Thanks..the tank is a 6ft 125g tank..

[maynardwix]

Very cool, i have a 150 and that looks like a very nice setup, if i get a larger tank for the fish in my 150 the frontosa tank you have looks like a good setup for mine, i don't think that will be any time soon though, my wife is going to kill me if i come home with any more tanks. I really like the contrast of black sand and the white stripes on the fronts though.

[addicted2cichlids]

dyajz, nice fronts! ive been thinkin about throwin some clown loaches in my tang tank when i have it setup. how are they doing so far wit the fronts?

do you have a species list of the 135? i love the yellows

[cichlidgirl]

Sure, the yellow ones are a male and female nimbochromis venustus (giraffe cichlid). The male is the one with the blue head and bright yellow body. He is bright yellow all the time but noticed when he wants to spawn he is almost canary yellow with no hint of spots. Gorgeous fish. They get big and do have a reputation.

I have
2 m/f venustus pair
2 m/f borleyi
2 m/f red empress
2 male albino strawberry peacocks
1 male stuartgranti
1 female OB peacock
1 brichardi
1 cyrtocara moori (blue dolphin)
1 male chilotilapia rhoadesii (thought it was a dolphin hybrid but id it today !)
6 juvie burundi frontosa

These are all malawi haps and peacocks (except the frontosa and single brichardi those are lake tang) and commonly found at most decent LFS.

I normally do not house my haps and peacocks anymore with my frontosa but sold most of the fish on this list and they dont pick them up till this weekend. I find all these fish to get along together good, only aggression is when one is spawning, then back to normal. It is very colorful and very active, almost hyper looking. I have heard that venustus (the big yellow ones ) can be aggressive as adults, my fish are young adults and show no signs what so ever of being nasty. Might be cause i raised them from 1 inch fry but more likely i just lucked out. I would recommend that if you are gonna keep this many large haps you get a used 120 (6 foot tank) for them or min . a 75 gallon . They all like long open unobstructed swimming areas and sand with rocks to swim inbetween them, dont really dwell in rocks but do swim around them .

Hope this was helpful for you.

[cichlidgirl]

oh, and i also have one labeotropheus (orange mbuna) in there. Forgot her LOL.

After seeing the clown loaches im considering those. Im gonna go research them right now LOL. I would get the single brichardi at the same time as the peacocks, same with the venustus (unless they are not the same size) I noticed the borleyi and venustus and redempress all have about the same size after growing for 6-8 mo. Peacocks are smaller, brichardi are smaller, but those are smaller fish. All fish are territorial thats why i say to get them as juvies all at the same time let them grow up together. Only one i had problems with was the stuartgranti was aggressive and also the eyebiter showed signs of getting aggressive when he was in with haps, put it with the mbuna and no problem now.

yeah i will probably get a brichardi two weeks after the tank is set up but will get the smallest. and i want to get the venustus after i have all my peacocks bigger, i dont want them eaten haha. hope i can fish a NICE eyebiter too young because they are the most different african imo. thats kinda what im going for in this tank...nothing the same and all males :D

Make sure that you have plenty of rockwork in the bottom , spread it along the length of the tank makeing caves with areas of open sand between the piles. The brichardi can live in it and also have refuge from the larger haps if needed. My experience is they dont really need it, the brichardi seem to grow slow but are aggrsssive so it makes up for their smaller size. Dont go small with the brichardi, I would suggest you get a 2 inch brichardi or larger if you can find one since the haps get big and do it faster. Brichardi get 5 or 6 inches as full grown fish not counting their trailers, with trailers they often appear bigger :)

yeah i am going to have TONS of lace rock and attempt to make as many caves and such as i can. and yeah i have access to either a 2 inch or 4 inch, will defi get the 2 inch. too bad they are hard to tell males and females apart.

[cichlidgirl]

yeah its super hard to tell male and female. I never saw them lay the eggs on the substrate so i never did know male from female, i only had suspicions. Its good your getting the rockwork, they are cave dwelling. I kept mine successfully with non aggressive mbuna and also the haps, but my haps were not huge when i got them so i dont know if full grown haps would eat them if you bought young ones. I suspect they would try LOL. For as delicate and pretty as they are i have to say pound for pound they are one of the toughest fish i have kept. Had one corner and beat the hell out of my 6 inch male venustus (brichardi was 2 inches LOL) they had the entire tank of haps and peacocks, all 18 fish crammed into a 1 foot corner. Mean buggers when paired off and not in their own tank (then they are super peaceful) Plus they can take care of themselves when alone.

[maynardwix]

Again, not my tanks, just great setups IMO.

[fsc46]

How did they set up the tank in the last video?

[cichlidgirl]

Cool tank huh. i have seen them with african cichlids and discus, and long finned goldfish. some others as well.

If you want to understand how they did it get a glass baking dish and a 3 litter bottle soda bottle, fill up the bowl and fill up the bottle, turn the bottle upside down and place it inside the bowl of water. The same idea as the automatic dog watering bowls.

[mike dunagan]

There is a thread about how a guy setup an upside down tank in a pond in the DIY section some idea...

[cichlidgirl]

There is a guy , i think in singapore that has amazing discus , african cichlids and even a massive outdoor koi pond. The koi pond is even larger than alot of peoples patios and he has those upside down tanks in all of them. Gorgeous. The discus ones are cool cause the fish are pretty good sized and still go up into the glass tank on top. Its on utube under african cichlids, then you click on the "see all of their videos" and the discus and koi pond comes up.

Only thing about the tank design that had me puzzled was the air bubbles. I know how it would work, like with the bottle and the bowl example you gave, but if you put a straw in the bottle while it is upside down and blow air into the bottle, it will displace the water and eventually emty the bottle and over flow the dish. Only thing I could think of was that the air pump was in the tom of the tall tank and it just recycled it back down to the bottom. Very cool setups though, I have seen all his vids, very cool idea, not good for jumping fish though, you'd find them on the floor the next morning.

I think I got it now. The tank sticking out of the water isn't open at the top. Thanks for the help. :headbang2

[cichlidgirl]

exactly. tank sticking up is a closed top open bottom, its submerged into the low flat " open pond looking part. that keeps the water in the raised part from all coming out. I really like them but i think they are extremely expensive and looks like a contractor would be required to build it lol. not a diy project for the novice or faint of heart. but if you had skills.....That guys outdoor koi pond is worth looking up and viewing. sorry idont have the link anymore. i can check around this weekend and see if i can find. it. if i do i will post it.

[cichlidgirl]

Really nice setup. I liked keeping my venustus and dolphins with my fronts as well. i found they got along fine. I might replace the ones that went to jhutch for the tank trade swap. Very nice. I also had a male and female borleyi that looked great and acted the same as the venustus.

It is a very nice setup, not mine, but watching that makes me want to setup my 150 like that, I'd have to get a 180+ for the fish I have in my 150 though.

from what i have seen those types with the venustus and fronts (or other large haps) only work or work best when they are in the really big tanks so there is room to move and avoid etc..

Right, I see what you mean, it looks like it is working quite well in the 180 gallon video above though, I have awhile till I'm allowed to get another large tank anyways, so I'm just dreamin now.

[mike dunagan]

go 300!!!!!!!!!

[maynardwix]

go 300!!!!!!!!!

Lol, definatly want to, just have to wait till I get the ok from the boss (wife). Till then I just have to be happy with the ones I have. When I do get the ok, beleive me, I am going to go as big as I can (and a 300 sounds real nice).

That's my tank right there. Glad it caught your eye. I had meant to post it as I made it specifically for this thread but got side-tracked. And thanks for commenting on my mbuna video the other day.

from what i have seen those types with the venustus and fronts (or other large haps) only work or work best when they are in the really big tanks so there is room to move and avoid etc..

Everything's going ok so far since 2005. The only issue was about 18 months ago when I had to sell the other male venustus which also used to dwell in the tank (it was the sub-dominant, then out of the blue it defeated the 'dominant' male and continued to terrorize the ENTIRE tank; yep, the 180gal wasn't big enough for him and the rest). The male venustus currently in the tank isn't so bad.

I would put in some rockwork for some of your fish, they would really like it. I just collect mine from around the house and pasture. You can also buy some pavers to make rockwork from home improvement stores and also landscaping.

I actaully had tons a little while ago, the aggression was terrible so I took it all out, I'm putting some more in today, the two male sand sifting haps go at each other over the rock piles. Anyways I might just end up moving the biger one back into the 120. The front seems to like this tank beter, it's much more peaceful then the 120. Apart from the two males that get territorial when I add rock piles.

got to try to make seperate rockpiles for them then, try rockpiles and caves with small open areas in between. One or two piles more than fish that want to occupy them.

Yep the rocks are definitly the source of the aggression, I made three big rock piles and added some plants and the two male haps went into kill mode. I'm going to try and a few more male sand shifters, if that dosen't work the big one's going back to his tank.

Thanks....The sand was actually pretty well settled by the second day, but the first night it looked like I had a 110 gallon vanilla shake!?!?! I remember going to bed like 5 hours later with the filter running and there had been no change. About 8 hours after that was the second picture.

This is why you should always prewash sand!?!?! A LOT!!

:D Well it turned out great, prewashing the sand is so important, I rinsed the sand in my 150 for hours, and even after thinking it was rinsed enough, it still clouded up the water slightly.

Thanks so much, this video is very interesting, but it is even better in English.

I'd heard that no matter how much you wash it, the sand will still cloud the tank. But if you don't wash it at all, it looks like 110 gallons of milk. I was afraid to put the fish back in there. But I didn't have anywhere else to put them.

I tried to check if they were breathing hard but could only see if they were when they swam right up to the glass. It was not one of the highlights of my aquarist career. Looks great now, but then it looked like hell....

[maynardwix]

Thanks guys, it's a 46bf and yeah the plants are java ferns.

Well it looks really good, I will have to try the java ferns in my tank and see how it goes, mine love to pick at the live plants though.

[The Amazonian]

Thats a great set-up, and an amazingly active tank, you spill coffee in there?

[ibr3ak]

Well it looks really good, I will have to try the java ferns in my tank and see how it goes, mine love to pick at the live plants though.

I've had fake plants in it for a while, about a month ago I've bought 3 bunches of java fern on sale and put them in just to see what happens, at first they picked at it, but then didn't touch it, it's already beginning to root to the rocks.

Thats a great set-up, and an amazingly active tank, you spill coffee in there?

Thanks, lol yea I wish it was just coffee, my long supposed greshakei male turned out to be a female (took on a male's coloration I guess) and was holding 3 days after I took the vid, you can see the blue fuelleborni (supposed daddy) and the he/she on the left side going crazy with each other.

I've sold her back to the lfs (since I have an all male tank and no place for her) and bought 2 other juvies, one is a definite male greshakei this time around, with a more intense coloration.

Tank looks great, what is the background made out of, is it real stone or fake. Looks real and I really like the 3D look.

mikes right ..they are show offs... very very nice video and africans and set up..

I'm not here to show off, I just wanted to see some other peoples setups. I have worked hard to get mine looking the way it dose and I know everyone else here dose also and I would like to see video of them. I guess it dose give people an oppertunity to show off their tanks and what they have created, but with as much work everyone puts into creating and maintaining their tanks, they deserve a chance to show it off a little.

show off were referring to the fish showing off for the camera!

Funny you mention the melanochromis, I have a very aggressive melanochromis johannii and my crabro is the only one that keeps it in line, if it wasn't for my crabro, I would probably have to remove the johannii from the tank.

[mike dunagan]

I here ya on that one!

[ibr3ak]

Here's another vid with some close ups, I've weeded out all the females (figured I'd vent everyone while venting the aulonocara) and traded them in for other males, the aggression has clearly subsided since:

Looks like they took say an otter exhibit and just stuffed it full of Malawis. (Just saw the alligator or croc.)

I always wonder if I would try a huge tank someday stuffed with them, but I would sort of really like to put some females in there and well you would have a hard time keeping them from breeding hybrids.

I've had most of the fish around 2 years in a smaller tank.
Set up this one about a month ago & moved across the existing fish plus a few new guys too.

i have not seen anything yet...imagine if they were all boys.. at least you know you have a female..lol.... very peaceful in the tank though...so that really baffles me.. i thought by now i would be having to split them up... the africans are also peaceful.. one auratus is in there because he is very old.. cannot see to well anymore... so anyway still waiting too...thanks

I so desperately want to get a 55 or 75 gallon but I need to find the room for it and get Uncle Sam to hurry up and send me my tax refund check.
