Literally the exact video I was waiting for.

I'm currently setting up my own cichlid tank, I have been enjoying watching a lot of your videos new and old

Awesome vid Troy, nice haircut too! I love the Discus and think I’d want a school of Cardinal Tetras with them, and a few albino Plecos ❤ 🐠 👍

Great job Cichlid Bros. You bring nuances of fish keeping, something I never find anywhere else.

Amazing list! I’ve got a 90 Gallon in order and I’m split on stocking between South American and Central so would love a list for Central 👍🏼 love the format of listing setup ideas rather than just what fish to keep! Much more interesting for me personally!!

Been a min since I have seen a vid from you guys. Love the ideas!

Keen on a central American vid, this was awesome info

Troy, Great video on South American cichlids. I have a 90 gal stocked with a red devil, JD, green terror, chocolate cichlid, a turquoise Severus and a golden severum. I love the Central American and South American cichlids. I have about 9 Buenos Aires tetras as dither fish. I added a few catfish in the bottom ones you recommended a while ago. All beautiful fish. I have a lot of filtration 2 tidal 110s and a internal xpertmatic canister filter. And one sponge filter lol. I know 4 things of filtration is that over kill? No plants though. I have a planted 55 gal tank with a EBA and a Jewel cichlid, 2 rams, 4 Denison barbs, 6 giant danios, 5 different rainbow fish, 8 red eye tetras, 2 golden wonder killi fish. Some bottom feeders as well. I also have a planted 20 long with a Kribensis as the center piece and Mixed nano fish. I love planted tanks. Appreciate the video man. Can’t wait for the Central American cichlid video.

Love the electric blue acara and severum combo

Love the ideas.🤩

Awesome video!

Hey Troy, love your videos! So I just got a 90 gal, standard size and I’m going with the trio you always talk about. I already have 6 EBA in a couple other tanks and love them, so obviously adding them. So what’s your suggestion on quantity of EBA, Severum and leaning towards Topajo since they a bit smaller than the Sveni. But I’ll gladly take your suggestions on both Geos, with EBA and Severum in the 90. Thanks Bro!

Красивые аквариумы и классные рыбки ! Люблю цихлид 👍🐠🔥

Love the content! Quick question I have a 40g with an male red devil and a blue dwarf with a couple schooling tetras mollies plecos and Cory’s would I be able to introduce a dwarf cicicilid I really want to add a blue ram or a Bolivian or even a Apisisto? Would love the feed back

Beautiful fish..

I’m planning a 150g setup. 72”x18”x27”. Thinking a couple of acaras, 1 Severum, 5-6 Roseline Sharks, couple of plecos and 6-7 geophagus. Which geophagus would work best? My top 3, in order are Altrifons, Sveni and Red Heat Tapajos.

Great video!Thank you for the combinations Troy.I have 4 Red Spot Severum.I want to add the Electric Blue Acara,and Geophagus.(90Gallon)How many Electric Blue Acara and Geophagus can I safely add?Thank you in advance .

Hi I m currently trying to get as much information and knowledge as possible before I decide what type of fish I would like, my question is could it be possible to mix any small dwarf / nano cichlid s ? Rams, appiso s ? And how big does the smallest geo grow to please ?

Hey, love your videos. I am currently setting up a 100 gallon 5 foot SA tank and wondered if I could get some advice I am looking to stock with 1 Oscar, 1 Blue Acara, 1 Severum, 4 Geophagus, 5 Silver Dollars. Is this going to be okay for that size of tank?

TY

Thank you.. just what I was looking for . My 90 g has 2 sevrums, 6 blue gourami, 2angels and I was waiting to see what else to add.. so thanks!

The Oscar starts dancing around when you point at him at 1:37 🤣

Love the ideas. I’ve slowly been building a SA cichlid tank with an angelfish, severum, Bolivian ram and geophagus jurupari. There’s a school of scissortail rasboras with them and it makes for a fun tank to watch.

I've just upgraded to a 180g tank and love the idea of stocking the tank with "the trio". How many of each cichlid would you recommend for a tank that size?

Some nice mixes of fish recommendations! Would you say Oscar's and severums can work well in a 120 gallon (4ftx2ftwide) ? Thanks Aaron

Amazing list I have two Oscar’s a breeder pair of blood parrots and a Severums

i love planted tanks and most south american cichlids love digging ! i only have discus .

Man, this makes my choice harder for the 210 coming in next week lol. Debating between SA Cichlids and a large planted community. Ugh. Lovely video as always guys.

Hi there. Just found your channel and subscribed. I have a question, it’s not about this video but I thought I would ask on this vid, as it’s your most recent video. It’s about tank mates for Apistogramma’s. Do you think they would be ok with Pearl Gourami’s???? I have been asked if I would like a pair but I already have a male and two females pearls. Don’t want to say yes and it all goes belly up with fighting. Hope to hear your opinion. It’s a 180 litre planted tank. Which I think is about 45 US gallons. I am from the UK and we use litres.

I have aggresive green terror which fish should be best ?

Insight please: Tank Setup - 125 Gallon - Fx6 for filtration - AQUATOP FZ13 FORZA 550 GPH Canister just running bio balls w/ no filtration). - 50% water change every 2 weeks Question is can I add a few more fish. Looking to add a few more tap geos. Currently have 3 and 2 paired off and have been laying eggs. Also have 2 severum, 6 large fin tetras and 15-20 buenos aires tetra. Would like to add 2-3 more geos and 1-2 electric blue acara?

I saw some of EBA babies at aquarium adventure in Bolingbrook/Woodridge, are they by any chance yours?

I have 4 red spot severums in an 86 gallon tank os that ok?

I wish I could get a stingray but I live in Texas and it’s illegal to own them here any advice? Is there a way around it like permits or license?

I gown up with a massive oscar. Love them

Hello, I have a 29 community, 30 community, 75 ebuma. Getting ready to set up 90 rectangle. I would like Africans again, but after watching this video I want to go in and direction. What would you recommend?

Can I do change every 2 months in my 4ft aquarium with canister filter because my water is clean .I have only one fish in my fish tank thanking you in advanced

can you help me with 3 different cichlids that can co exist in 75 gallon and where to purchase

Hey !! Im frm india ...i really love African chiclids and i wanna keep them in a 50 Gallon tank ...cn i add peacock with mbuna or shuld it be only mbuna or only peacock?? Im planning to keep some 10 peacocks and 2 -3 mbuna (2-3 inch) like jalo reef ..can i do this or cn u lemme know what suits well and better for fish

Hi awesome video as always! Can I keep apistogrammas with rams together in 55 gallon?

Your tank looks amazing! We have a question: We have a Jack Dempsey and a Pleco, both bought about 1,5 years ago as juveniles. About a year ago, the Jack started to hide and is very timid. Pleco and Jack ignore each other. Why is our Jack so shy and hides in the whole he made under the wood? There are plants and rock in the tank. 90 gallon tank

African cichlids would be good I keep mbuna and can watch them for hours.the mix of colour you get is quite good to.

Kind of off topic since I have African cichlids in a 75 gallon…anyways I’m having nitrate problems, which I find weird since I have no nitrites or ammonia when I test the water. I use seachem prime with every water change and it says that it detoxifies nitrates. What’s the easiest way besides plants to get rid of nitrates. I just ordered matrix as well. Thanks

What about keyhole (c.maronii) cichlid

I love the driftwood centerpiece in your aquarium. Any tips or recommendations of places to get large driftwood? I’m trying to set up 125 gallon American Cichlid tank and I’m having difficulty finding driftwood pieces large enough for my needs.

You need to get some ropefish. I have them with my severum geo’s and electric blue acara. They are just as cool to watch as the geo’s

I'm building a indoor south American cichlid pond in my sun/living room. Already know the algae growth will be terrible so I plan to have a pleco. Either a sailfin, Brazilian, or a sunshine pleco. I want to stock the 180gal pond and I plan to end on an Oscar in the community. I wanted to ask how I can do it or if there isn't enough space for this variety to be comfortable Here is my current dream list not in order of when I am buying them: Tiger Oscar, One of three plecos, Silver dollars (maybe this is where schooling numbers confuse me) Gold Severum, Electric Blue Acara, Maybe some geophagus clown loaches... as much excitement as I have for the Jack Dempsey, I keep talking myself out of ever putting it in my pond there have been too many comments on them being awful against an oscar. Is it doable to do all of this list proportionately to have variety yet also no overcrowding. The aquascape will be sand, rock, drift wood, and artificial plants. Can I please have help stocking this? I've been keeping fish tanks for close to a decade now, but the last tank I had of this nature was an african cichlid tank consisting strictly of a peacock cichlid, Danios, 2 snails, and a nice amount of guppies (yes they bred, yes they were food.) All of which were healthy and happy aside from a periodic guppy. In a gigantic tank I housed a tigershovel nose cat, blue cat, oscar, and a bass (they all respected each other and never messed with each other) I kept all of these massive tanks until I moved into an apartment for work... then an aquarist friend of mine bought them from me... last I checked he had upgraded their tanks and finally separated the oscar. Now that I am no longer in an apartment and in a permanent place I wanted to do another big set up. It's just been a few years of 20gal-less so I don't want to get too carried away with stocking, but I am very excited for this build. How do I appropriately stock from this list?

First let me say I’m a new Subscriber and I love you guys already. I’m a beginner to SA/CA cichlids and I currently have a Red Devil, Jaguar and a Salvini in a 100 gallon. They are all juvenile. Do you all have any recommendations as a 4th fish for my tank? Dovii(Wolf) didn’t work.

In a 55 gallon, is it possible to house a 2/3 severums. If so how much do you think would be the most?

Chilli red Oscars are the best

Hey if you have the time I have a few questions about my South American cichlid tank, I have 2 Severum, 2 Geophagus (smaller species), an electric blue acarra, and a few wild cards I threw in there (one pleco and 2 pictus catfish)

My 55 has 2 angels,6 amatitlania nanolutea 2 eba doing great

I had a solo Texas Cichlid for over 10 years.

Hey bro, are Oscars still super bad with HIH? Is it really about just water quality and avoiding live food? How to prevent it?

What about keeping various species of Geos together?

I’m setting up a 75 gallon living room display tank. Gonna go with the trio you mentioned. 1 Severum 1 EBA 3 geo tapajos 8-10 Colombian tetras Do you think I could add like 3 synodontis lucipinnis in there as well? Or maybe just a couple of bushy nose plecos? Thanks! Love the content!

I finally got an interesting stocking Severum juvenile Single geophagus altrifon Albino heckelii pair A guianacara An angelfish With Yo-yo loaches Neon blue rainbows All living peacefully!!

I have some geos but they’re growing so slow! Is this normal?

Try an electric blue jack dempsey for a non aggressive cichlid, I’ve kept them with everything from Oscar’s to guppies for over a decade

If only severums could live with plants ❤

I’ve got a tank with Oscar, Jack Dempsey, 2 blue acara, Geophagus, 2 Severum, bichir, 6 rainbow fish, 6 red phantom tetra and they’re all great together

Are oscars more popular than angelfish and discus?

The Oscar cichlids are too much of hassle. They eat all the food fast and poop like crazy. My favorite(s) cichlids are Red Devil, Green Terror, Firemouth, Jack Dempsey and Ram. Great info here!👍

Hi, i am from India. Please guide me for food also

I was waiting for red jwel cichlid 😢. Love from India 🇮🇳❤

The only time I do a solo fish is if it’s so aggressive that it kills anything I put in the tank with it I do have an Oscar who’s solo right now but only because his mate died I will eventually have more fish with him because he’s not super aggressive🐠💙🔥

I have a tiger Oscar, jack Dempsey, turquoise Severum, firemouth cichlid, blue Acara, and a gold nugget in a 180 gallon. The blue acara would pick on the Oscar but now he’s bigger and more powerful so he backs off now 😂

Chocolates are the best imo.

Comment for algorithm

never have luck with angel fish they're almost always too aggressive

Great looking tank, All of your fish look great, I hate Oscars though to me they are the ugliest fish ever! I am a Jack Dempsey fan myself.

You can sell me some of them acaras

I disagree about the oscar they should be kept in a 125 minimum thats a potential 14" foot bro

Can I ask you a question on Instagram?

I there really no way to put severums insiders A planted tank? I really want severums but I also want Some plants in there. Your channels rock Guys! 🫶🏻
