Hi Eric, thanks for the encouragement, I really appreciate it. I'll be making videos again soon, stay tuned.

Hey thanks a lot, I appreciate it

Hi, you're absolutely right, they do have great personalities. Most aren't shy or timid at all. They're excellent fish, thanks for watching.

Hi, thanks yeah EBAs are super cool. Thanks for watching

Hi, glad you liked the video & thanks for watching & the sub.

Hello Paul, that's awesome. Congrats! Hope you enjoy your new fish. Best of luck & thanks for watching.

@@fishn4k969 yeah, i got 6 tanks, i love fish.

Hi Dean, I'm glad you've had success. Thanks for the comment & thanks for watching.

Hey yeah Africans are awesome, Tanganyikans happen to be my favorite. The EBAs are just great all around fish, you should try them out. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.

Hi, hope everything goes well for you. Glad to hear that you've got them currently in quarantine. EBAs are awesome fish and I'm sure that they'll be great for you. Thanks for watching.

@@fishn4k969 its a pleasant surprise to hear back from you. I would like your opinion though . I have multiple slightly bigger Oscars in my main aquarium. I would like to introduce these Acaras to that bigger tank . However the EBAs seem to be chasing each other a lot and seem to fight constantly even though they are barely 2.5 inches each . I worry about what would happen when I put them into the Oscar tank . Do you have any experience regarding that ? ( PS. The Oscars aren't that big and they are all quiet and peaceful)

@pritamdumbre7885 Hello again, so let's see. I wouldn't advise adding the EBAs into the larger tank. The Oscars will out grown the EBAs very fast and they might become dinner for them. It seems like you may have males and they're trying to establish dominance amongst themselves. Not sure but it's ultimately your call. Hope this helps.

Hi, for pictures I'm using a Nikon D5600 and for videos I use my Sony FDR-AX53. Thanks for watching.

thank you...@@fishn4k969

Hi, thanks for watching

Hi MarV, sounds like a nice community. Thanks for watching.

Hi, that's a good idea but to be honest, she would still act the same when I would try 2 feedings per day. Maybe she was just an aggressive breeder or something. Every fish is different for sure but she was just on a hair trigger when laying eggs. Thanks for watching.

@@fishn4k969 .if they're still going to eat them with plenty of food, I guess there's nothing much to do but wait and see if they'll learn it. If they don't learn it, we can always pull the fry. Enjoy them.

Thanks, yeah they're awesome. Sure, it's a Sicce Syncra 1.5

Your tank would be bare minimum for when they are fully grown, but would still work fine

It's a long way but pets at home Bodmin, Cornwall very worthwhile to trackdown

Hi, so my female was purchased at my local petsmart and the male I purchased from liveaquaria.com. I'd check around locally first and see if you can find a nice one. My female looked pretty bland and not so sharp when I first got her but providing good water and a good diet really brought out the best in her. Hope this helps, thanks for watching.

got 6 on my 75

Oh wow I'm so sorry to hear that. I know each fish is different and some are more aggressive than others, sorry that happened to your fish.

Thanks I will not be getting one of those!

Hi, thanks for watching and the sub, I really appreciate it. I think they'll do excellent in the 55 gallon tank you're gonna be housing them in. Sand or gravel will be fine, gravel is my preference since it's a bit easier to maintain. The EBAs I've had never really sifted through the gravel so I never worried about them swallowing gravel or anything like that. Remember that they will get very aggressive when spawning and defend the eggs so have a plan in place in case you've gotta move their tankmates if they have any. Hope this helps & best of luck.

Hi, yeah you should be alright with 2 EBAs in your 40B. I think 2 females would be great. If you get a M/F pair, be aware that if they start spawning, they may become aggressive. Hope this helps, thanks for watching.

You can write but don't read?

It’s called a 40 breeder it’s actually 3’ 45 gallon tank.

Updates? Did they care for them? Did the cople kill every other fish in your tank?

Hi, I think you'd be perfectly fine with one as a centerpiece fish. Adding another might risk them becoming territorial. Hope this helps, thanks for watching.

@@fishn4k969 ok thanks. If I was to try and do something like a trio or five what ratio of male to female would you suggest? Or just go all males

with 6-8 they will spawn a lot yeah

@@officialbigmemes thanks

Hi Jose, yes I think that you should be ok with the 4 in there as long as there aren't any other fish in there. My only concern with the 55 is that it may be too narrow for them when they become fully grown since they do get fairly big and thick. If you do plan on doing a community tank I would personally reduce the # of EBAs to 1 instead of 4. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching.

You’re better off with a 40 breeder than the 55 long, as the 40 is deeper tank, so they have room to turn when they are adults. The 55 is just not deep enough at 12 inches

Hi, so the main thing is to keep your substrate properly cleaned to remove excessive waste & debris. I've noticed that it will really help in regards to water clarity, especially in gravel bottom tanks. I might make a video on how to use a gravel vacuum later. Thanks for watching.

@@fishn4k969 i have been wondering about this.. your reply makes everything clear now.. thanks!!

Hi, that's great I'm glad it's going good for you. He will get pretty big and chucky so you may eventually want to get him a bigger setup.

6 months late but yes, they can

Hi, yes I do believe EBAs would be compatible with corys. I would reccomend to be extra cautious if the EBAs pair off and start spawning as they become extremely protective but apart from that you should be fine. Hope this helps & thanks for watching.

Mine never bothered the corey's

geophagus and E.BA ignore each other too

Hi, good question, well if they were the only fish in the tank, I think you could do 1 male and 2 females. If it's gonna be a community tank I would say probably just 1. Hope this helps, thanks for watching.

In a 55, 2 is best and 3 is max when they are adults

It’s a tropical fish. Goldfish and Koi are cold water.
