I’m quite aware of what the fish in my tanks are. btw it’s a “rainbow shark” in this video not a redtail…. maybe you should actually read the thread before you comment.

thats not a black shark…its a red tail…black sharks grow wayy biggerr

yes i would say that u can they do get `16′ but i have never had 1 that got that big so u could try it. out chek out my vid i have ciclids mixed with angels and cichlids ans a gar (NOT ON VIDEO) will be soon tho soo ya i will do sum more vids but go ahead and try it i think that it would be fine

I wouldn’t reccomend it the “black shark” gets quite large (16+”) and is actually a little too nasty to mix with most cichlids.

So i can keep one of those black sharks in with my mbuna cichlids? pls reply cause i really want to keep one

You need a sand substrate, and the right type of val. This species comes from Fla. it is very durable, fast growing and likes hard water. Not all vals will thrive.

Do your cichlids dig up your vals? I will be putting vals in soon. I hope I don’t regret it.

This is the look that I’m shooting for. Not sure where to get those plants though. There are cichlids hobbyists that feel a true cichlids hobbyist’s tank should only compose of rocks and no plants as to keep with their natural habitat in africa. Fck that. Tanks with jsut rocks are plain boring to look at. PLants are what makes the tank look alive.

Hundreds and hundreds

Have you had fry yet in your tank?

Can you recommend the site that you get your fish from?

You order from reputable sources, and there are a few tell tale signs that fish are from the wild. It takes some experience to keep wild fish in captivity.

How can you be sure that these cichlids you’re ordering from online are really wild caught?

Wild Cichlids have the best genetics for breeding, Wild cichlids run from $25-$400 /pair depending on rarity/ and or desirability.

wow, you’d rather have wild caught fish than tank bred huh? Where abouts do you live? that must be alot of money to do.

The fish were collected in the wild and shipped to where I live, and they do uproot the odd plant here and there, but the Val is a pretty durable plant

Do you live in Africa? What do you mean they are mostly wild caught? You caught them yourselves?

what size is your tank? Do the cichlids uproot your live plants?

I don’t worry that much about pH, It’s plain tap water (about 7.4-7.8 here) Fish are more adaptable than you think.

The cd is called “rite of strings” by Jean Luc Ponty, Al Dimeola, and Stanley Clarke. I can’t remember the exact song name. Thanks for the compliment.

cool tank. love the cave. what song is playing?

0:38 is that a Leleupi?
