Hey all, I just wanted to setup a thread to chronicle my tanks and breeding projects and YouTube videos.

I've been keeping and breeding fish for many years, I currently run around a dozen tanks and various grow out tubs. I really enjoy peacock cichlids, guppies, reefs, and really all cichlids. I have jewel cichlids growing out to breed at the moment. Below is a video of my 6 year old red shoulder peacock cichlid Poseidon.

African cichlids? I had some years ago that wouldn't stop breeding. The Red Zebras were too mean for my tastes, but I liked the Demasoni cichlids.

Yes, that's my male peacock cichlid, I've had him for 5 years.

Below is a video of one my qt tanks with some other peacocks.

You did a phenomenal job with this video. Glad he is doing better

 

[TMRC Exotics]

Thank you MBK, it was hard to make, my wife teared up watching it. What you don't see in the videos is the countless hours of helping him, 3am water changes, even holding him upright when his swim bladder was malfunctioning. I just finished another 100% water change in his holding tank and he is almost ready to go back to tank life.
