What's up guys, this is Steve Poland. We're doing an unboxing today.
Got some peacock cichlids from
The Cichlid Shack. James Largo out in Arizona.
I decided to forego the headband camera set up for this
unboxing. Hopefully it's a little bit easier to see.
So I just took the shipping label off.
Don't want any of you to
come and find me.
Not that you would. It would not be very exiting if you
did. Alright. Had some cards
pop outta here. Looks like
a sample of food which is cool.
I got... so I didn't get that many, because I've got in my peacock tank right now I just have some
juveniles. Some of those...hopefully as many of them are males as possible from my last order
from Dave's.
A couple probably at least are females but
I'm growing those out. I asked James...I wanted to get some but I asked him if he could send me
the smallest that he could that he could still identify as
males. I got a German Red, a
Bi-Color, a Dragon Blood and he's throwing in an
Eclipse right now so that's pretty cool of him. Heat pack is still warm. It's been a
couple days. He shipped USPS
sample of that
Super Red food which is super cool, he just threw that in.
Alright, this is the Bi-Color male.
Amazing. And he is alive.
Alive and kicking. Makes sure I
get all these on camera. You can't really see it through
the blue obviously. This is
the Eclipse. "Free extra Eclipse".
And kinda tough to see this through the
water here but
also alive and kicking. Excellent.
Three of
four we got the Dragon Blood alive and kicking
These are not too big which is awesome. It was uh...
I mean you know I was...I knew he would do his best but I just don't want there to be too much
aggression in there.
I don't want anything to happen to the
young'ins I got in there now and this is the German Red male.
Alright. Four of four alive and kicking.
So that's awesome.
Alright
well I'd say that's a good shipment. Well packaged
Everybody made it here. It is pretty hot here
in Ohio right now so...no issues with that.
Overall really glad to see everybody is
swimming around so we will definitely have to show you these guys
in the tank so you can get a better look.
What's up guys. So this is the peacock tank.
At long last. Full of fish.
Full of young fish.
We do have some color in here as you can see, so
I just got the four new pickups from James Largo and The Cichlid Shack.
That is the Dragon Blood over there.
Which is just awesome.
And that right there, it's kind of dark
That is the
Bi-Color
God, look at that Dragon Blood. Ridiculous.
So in here right now are what I got from James, there's
the initial 12 that actually is now 11. I did lose one
from Dave's Fish and then I bought four at a local fish store.
Some of these have not yet colored up
obviously some of them may be female. I'm not sure. We'll have to
see.
There's that German Red right there. That is just awesome.
Hope you can tell how awesome that is.
There's that Bi-Color again. I probably should have the lights up a little more for this.
I gotta figure out where this Eclipse is hanging out.
Because the Eclipse is awesome.
See that German Red. Look at that!
So awesome to have some color in this tank.
Both from the ones that are coloring up and from the ones I
just got. Just ridiculous.
I can see this tank from my kitchen and it's like...
It catches my eye like, when I'm not expecting it and I'm like, whoa there's color there now.
Let's see if we can't find this
Eclipse back there.
There it is.
It's hiding out in the rocks. I'm gonna flip on this other light which is
like way brighter.
Might be better for this purpose.
Man it's still hard to see him in there. He's awesome.
Get outta there.
Get outta there. There you go
Get outta there. See how awesome he is?
Get outta there. See some of these are
pretty drab but some of them are starting to color up a bit.
Get out of those rocks.
Of course now you're gonna try and go out the back.
Well, there he went.
Dragon Blood.
German Red.
I fed them, because I wanted to get them moving around. So you can see a
bunch of stuff floating around in there but I don't really care.
I just wanted you guys to see them.
He likes to hang out back there. That's the intake for my
under...under substrate jet system.
Alright. So anyways this is the peacock tank.
It will be getting much better as time goes on but for now
this is mine.
I'm pretty exited about it. Thanks everyone for watching.
Hit like, hit subscribe. I just hit 100 subscribers.
Pretty exited about that. I am going to be doing a contest.
So stay tuned for that.
and I'm outta here.
