check this out.

i like the way the person mixed the music with the video too. once the cichlids tear into the food, the music becomes more aggressive

very cool aswell but....i would say that their tank is a little overstocked. Wouldn't you say so?

My cichlid tanks are overstocked as well... I just have to do WC more often, but I find it damps down on the aggro tendenancies of the fish...

Cool video

a lot of people overstock african cichlid tanks to cut down on aggression. it really all depends on how much filtration and the footprint of tank

african cichlids are mean too. they may not get as big as say a jack dempsey or a red devil but they certainly have a bad attitude towards other fish.

not all are mean, but Mbuna are nasty, my auratus cant be near other fish or people. i tried to feed him flakes once when he was in a open tank, and he jumped up and bit my finger deep, bled forever

This may seem a stupid question, but what is the guy feeding them?

Nice video. Although the aquarium is over stocked. That really is one feeding frenzy.
