A couple months ago I added fish to this new 150 on day 1, then about 10 fish a few days later. This American Cichlid Tank has been doing great ever since. Proving that if done the right way you can do a fish in cycle from day 1!

Man Kev, I appreciate you sharing your story even through your loss you still bring information to all of us on so many levels, and the best part about you is you don't just give information that's out there you always physically prove it to show that once again your knowledge is beyond on point. Even through a hard loss to yourself this content taught way more than originally intended. I absolutely feel from the bottom of my heart you are the most caring and informative fish tuber around. We all are blessed to have you in our lives. Thanks doesn't even begin to repay your time and effort. Long live Flacco Dos my friend.... Sincerely, Phil

Kev, my 17 year old son and I are big in the hobby now because of you. He has an amazing cichlid tank that we have been successful at because of you! So, long story short, a couple weeks ago we added a brand new snowflake eel to our big saltwater tank, and we both decided together that we would name him Flaco in honor of you and Flaco. Even tho you would probably never know we did that it felt good to do, because you have no idea how much you’ve influenced and saved us headaches and heartaches by posting these videos! So here’s to you and your new Flaco Dos and our Flaco as well. ✌🏼🥰 *Edit* We name all our fish and even our invertebrates. If it’s alive it gets a name in our house. 😂😇

Finally the update on the Americans!!! Big thanks for the update and specially on the honesty of loosing fish, I always kept an eye for flaco and didn’t see him so I was wondering if something happened or he was hiding. Not all the channels I follow talk about fish dying and its terrible that it happens, but it shows you are human!! people following the channel also can accept that these things happen even to the pro’s!!! Easy way would have been no update new arowana and just keep calling him flaco... Thanks for sharing and letting us enjoy your journey!

I really appreciate that! It was hard showing how I really felt on video but I did my best. Wanted to be honest with you guys but didnt want to tear up on camera, lol The day it happened I didnt take a pic or anything because making content was the last thing on my mind. But you're right I could have just replaced him and called it a day but I feel a good channel should show the ups and downs of the hobby because in reality we all go through them. Thanks for the feedback bro and I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊

Also, I name all of my fish, but sometimes forget the names and then rename them, haha! FYI, I have a blue zebra Mbuna that is always guarding the biggest cave in the tank, so I named him KaveMan!

You are amazing! My hubby and I have watched just about all your videos! We were in process of cycling a 75gallon tank for peacocks. 5 weeks in with seeded filter and it hadn't cycled! Followed what you did to add fish day one, waited a week and we now have 4 peacocks doing great! Tank still hasn't cycled BUT the fish are happy and healthy! Thank you for having such informative videos! Keep it up!
@KaveManAquatics
@KaveManAquatics 3 жыл бұрын
Awesome! Glad I could help! You are going to want to add more fish soon because those 4 will start to fight each other for dominance in the tank. Also if your tank still hasnt cycled make sure you've got plenty of surface agitation. Your beneficial bacteria need oxygen to grow as well to get your tank cycled. Check out my new webinar training with some great info for your peacocks! Its free! - event.webinarjam.com/channel/KaveMan-Aquatics

My albino socofoli got swim bladder and I separated him, increased the water temperature and put some aquarium salt into his tank(more than normally required). Through days of not feeding him and then only feeding him algae based food, he recovered. Took him about a month and a half but now he looks great. I’m so happy cuz he was one of our faves.

Big respect to you keeping that many fish in a 150g without fights. And without sky high nitrate. I definitely wouldn’t be able to do it. But I think it may possibly need rehoming at some stage. Even the 6 clown loaches can grow to 12 inches.

I've been keeping cichlids now for the last 8 years along with my saltwater tanks for a while but that's another story. And I continue to learn so much from watching your content keep it up thank you it's guys like you thay help guys like me continue to thrive and continue this hobby. I'm so sorry about your loss, I just recently lost "that 1" ( 10yr old Tiger Oscar), I found alot have canine like personalities and become our friends as well, it's hard. Oh by the way, no need to feel funny about naming your fish, I got seven cichlids and 14 saltwater fish and everyone named even my snails and crabs 😊 thanks bro

Awesome setup. Seeing your Oscar brings back good memories of my tiger Oscar. Oscars are so energetic and are always happy to see you.I kept him alone in my 90 gallon since he didn’t play well with others. Oscars are so energetic and are always happy to see you. It was a sad day when my Oscar died.

Hey Kev, you're not alone in naming your fish. I generally name my none schooling fish. I got an 8 inch farrowella catfish named Mic the Stick and a whiptail catfish called Skinny Pete. I also have a one eyed blood parrot named Lefty as well as many others.

Kev,the only thingt I can say about your experience in setting up that " 150" WITHOUT the usual process and PROCEDURES is akin to the ADVICE/ WARNING one sees posted at swimming pools that have " diving board depths (over 8ft deep) - " FOR EXPERIENCED SWIMMERS ONLY"-like-wise; the warning( especially for those who believe and take for granted what your do is easy and effectively simple)for your big tank -" For EXPERIENCED AQUARIUM KEEPERS ONLY !" KUDOS to your experience and expertise. 🙂
