Great vids. I've been keeping African cichlids for a little over 13 years and I always learn something new from your videos

This is a great video. you putting out a lot of very very useful information that will help people when they're picking out there fish. I know I've always shied away from Africans because I like to buy my fish small and cheap and I've always been fearful of what I'm going to end up with

Excellent topic and video!!!! Thanks for taking the time to make and bring it to us!!!

Great video man! Lots of great info!

Braddah Z.... great vid on Color of AF when are u gonna go live? Gotta do a live feed soon, have a blessed day, much love and aloha🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽

A very good summary, Zenzo. It's a complicated business to explain all the factors of trying to sex fish. You touched on the issue of dimorphism but there are more complex examples too. I remember learning in HS Biology about precocious parr, which are male salmon that have adopted a reproductive strategy to retain the appearance of juvenile fish which means the dominant males will ignore then as rivals. They look like small females so the huge aggressive males tolerate them as they sneak into a spawning dance to fertilize some of the eggs. So there are three distinct adult body styles in these salmon (and trout) species: normal males and females that leave their home stream to feed and grow larger and, cheater males that look like juveniles but never risk the open lakes or oceans while waiting safely at home to breed any returning females. On average the population of each species becomes more heavily populated by the offspring of the tiny cheater males. I would guess that some cichlid species also have a form of this kind of sexual *trimorphism* going on but it may be less obvious to human observers because we're not that good at telling the sexes apart in the first place.

Great information for a newbies like me..

Awesome video as usual! But I do have a question for the fish fam and for you. Is biohome all it's claimed to be?

I always thought the mail's tot and bottom fins are pointed and longer

This is the hard part for me. Going to the store I do. Hard to tell when a lot of the males even lose their color in the tanks they have. Once in my tank they usually start coloring up fast but I'm still in the dark till then lol

Hi Zenzo, I enjoyed your video. Agree with all points. I think for me I by having a tank full of male haps, it gets a little frustrating at times with sub-dominate male haps not fully coloring in even after they have almost reached their full size. Anyways thanks for sharing

GREAT VIDEO

Nice . Video Thanks for sharing

Nice video Zenzo.

Hi there I was wondering if you were maybe in adopting my cichlids

Great Video Brother! Any suggestions for a new channel?

It would be better if u have shown male or female

Thank you so much Zenzo. You're the best 🤘

How do you determine mbuna from peacocks and haps?

Real informative 👍

Enjoy your video always.

Nice..

Very cool! I have Blue Cobalt Cichlids and are sexually mature. My male is constantly chasing my females and I’m not sure if they are trying to breed or fighting for territory. Any ideas?

Hey how many months does it take a morph fish to breed?

Question, I bought a Peacock about a couple of inches long. It has ALL the color pigmentation of an adult fish. I have a feeling this is unnatural. What's up with this and what do you think? I love your channel by the way, I subbed!

Great info as always!

So it’s pretty much a gamble when your at the store?

Can you show more pictures of the fish while you talking to understand more....

How can i can tell what type of cichlid i have. Is there a reliable source you would recommend?

sir can i put 5 male chichilid with 3 female chichilid in same tank?

Do you sell your fishes? if so, how would one see your stock?

what about egg spots on peacocks? Do males only have them or both?

You have a lot of information. However since you have examples, it would be much more helpful to show photos and show the difference, not just profess your knowledge. Show the difference, don't just talk about it.
