    Hi kaity. I would like to say that I love all of your videos and contents. I have been watching for about 6 months or so. I am into African cichlids also. I have lost all of my African cichlids about 10 of them. I am hoping I want to get back into fish keeping and I want to get African cichlids again. I also would like to get Oscars. I love them. I need to find a place to live so I can get all the fish I want. I live in an apartment but need to find a place by December so I can keep fish. I think you said you like Oscars in this video. Would you get Oscars again? Thank you for your videos and I will keep watching.

    Girl please get some plants in that fry tank to combat the algae or some thing like a “clean up” crew i.e snails, shrimp (I love the look of cherries in a tank) , or a small dwarf Corydora or two in both tanks actually but the swamp tank has some plants in it and that’ll definitely help like ai said a little bit goes a long way in tanks like that I’ve found personally just an idea or a little incentive lol ❤❤❤

  • @shybibeau8968
    @shybibeau8968 3 дні тому

    It would be worth it to throw in some Neothauma tanganyicense snail shells, which are about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter about 6 per fish just to see if they will host one to breed and even live in I’d definitely love to see you give that a shot also are they the ones that have been eating the fry?! Cuz there known to eat other fishes fry in the wild… anyways just another idea I’d throw out there thanks for sharing your tanks and videos with us love watching them evolve and grow!!! ❤❤❤❤

  • @shybibeau8968
    @shybibeau8968 3 дні тому

    Actually some snails in the tank wouldn’t be a bad idea they would keep the algae from getting to out of control and also clean up a lot of the waste from the fishies water!!! Just thought you’d like to know about having a clean up crew in there just as a second filter so to speak lol also you could add some shrimp like cherry shrimp would really pop in the tanks and or some little snails as well as dwarf Corydoras catfish would look so cool in there and would also help a lot with the filtration and the cycle as a whole would be much better but at the end of the day it’s your tanks just giving you some ideas to play around with!!!! Anyways I just love all your tanks and am really into your videos the more you expand thanks for sharing the process it’s totally cool to watch you transform the tanks!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

    Wow, the pet show in Brisbane is wayyyy better than in Melbourne 😮 Dymax was here, but not with tanks set up like that, and a much smaller kiosk. They did have the coloring station though, but you couldn’t buy any of the products, which seemed pointless, as all the other stalls sold their products. I am convinced that the best Aquarium stores and shows are in Sydney and Queensland, sucks for me 🥴

Hopefully it will be a huge turnout for the show this weekend and I think it's pretty awesome to see OASE having a great display especially since this year they didn't have anything at Inter Zoo Global Pet Expo or AQUASHELLA in Dallas. Speaking of that it would be awesome if you could get the time to see one of the three AQUASHELLAS and pick up where you left off and be a little bit more of a vacation and spend some time in NYC and the Niagra Falls on to the gorgeous New England and my favorite place in the world is The Lodge @ Lake Placid and Middlebury Vermont @ The Waybury Inn 🤗 Take care Kaity and great seeing what I think is the best channel for bringing people and aquariums together . 💚💙🇦🇺🇨🇦🇺🇸
