Ah, bullshit. I am an ex aquarium owner and Chiclids breeder. I've bred Cardinal Tetra. These little fish breed best in a naturally set environment, the same as where they came from. To breed them successfully you need at least 10 Cardinals with at least 5 of them being males and no other fishes like Danios, Cherry Barbs, Rasboras, etc., to stop eating eggs and fry. The tank can be a 3x18x18, or 4x18x18. The tank for breeding is converted into two compartment with a sliding down glass plate. The large compartment is for breeding and the other compartment (which is less than a foot wide) is to return the fish in after they laid their eggs, to avoid stressing them when they are transferred out of the tank with a net and to avoid disturbing the eggs with the net while trying to catch the nervous fish. With the glass plate slides down into position, prepare the whole tank similar to their wild environment but make sure the glass plate can be slides up or down without jamming with plants and such. Both size tanks need lots of plants, including moss, driftwood to stain the water a light brown and a thin layer of brown or beige colored substrates not even a quarter of an inch thick. This substrate is there to make the fish think there is a bottom, as glass base is not encouraging the fish to breed. All live plants are inserted into 2 inch wide by two high canisters (pots) filled with coarse substrate to hold plants down. Since the pots have holes, make sure the substrate doesn't escape through the holes. The tank setting has to be an exact or similar environment to that of where they came from, Rio Negro, Brazil to Colombia. Rio Negro means black river because of the rotten timber, leaves and roots of trees staining the water a light brown, but it's not really black. Bright aquarium lights discourage breeding. It's recommended to use half the brightness if possible. If not, plants that creates shade are recommended. I used a timed dimmer that I made back in '84. It started as a dim light in the morning to fully on an hour later and at 6pm it gradually dimmed to off after one hour. It did not startle the fish. Nowadays you can buy units that do it electronically. Feeding was controlled. Favorite food was TetraMin flakes, blood worms, small garden flying insects e.g. mosquitos, ant larvae, finely chopped beef and chicken meat - breast, leg, etc., quail meat, and tiny pieces (1/8 of an inch) of freshly boiled egg yolk. That's how you breed these fish without problems. Once the eggs are seen, you have 2 choices, remove the parents if if you don't have a divided tank, or move then in the smaller compartment of the tank so that the proud parents can watch the result of their labor. A divided can be made in any way, using non toxic material. White plastic C channels are a good material for sliding a glass plate. Adhere two strips of glass 2-3 inches wide as high as the water level to form a 'fence', then adhere two strips of C channels at each end of these glass strips. Have a glass plate cut to size in height and 1/8 of an inch shorter to fit into the C channels so that it can be raised and lowered without sticking. Aeration and filtration of both compartments is critical. Water softness seem to play an important factor in breeding as it makes the fish think it's raining. To do that same effect, prepare two non toxic clear plastic tubes and drill a line of small holes lesz than an eight of an inch. Clea the tubes of burr and wash them. Place them on top the tank 2 or 3 inches above the surface and join the three ends with a plastic soft tubing, one end goes to a water outlet from the pump, the other end goes to the first tube, while the other end of the first tube is joined to the second tube w/o the the soft tubing, and finally the end of the second tubing is plugged to stop the water from escaping. Use something to reduce the light brightness that represents clouds overhead. Turn a valve that directs the water to these tubes with a controlled flow to simulate rainfall with each tube hole dropping a drop of water at 1/2 to 1 second interval, while the rest of pumped water continues undisrupted. These raindrops are to be used at least weekly, just like their natural environment. However, water softness and temperature need to be constantly monitored for the breeding of these fishes. In the wild, heat downpour bringscwater from the hills, it cools the water, changes the hardness and make it murky. So, when the water is aged and ready, place the fish in the large compartment and 'nurse' them until they show signs of mating and egg lying. If you see them laying eggs in time, monitor them until egg laying is complete, then gently lift the dividing glass plate and with a stick of wood spatula try to 'herd' the parents towards the small compartment and lower the glass plate so that they can relax. Now wait till the eggs hatch. This tank now will be home to these young fish for some time until they can be relocated, or sold. Cheers.

Thanks for the video, Mark! I realize it’s now over 4 years old, so would you have any updates to the process? I do have a few tips for those watching for the first time: 1) if your community tank is already low pH (7 or lower), the only conditioning you need is feeding with frozen and live foods. 2) ideally you shouldn’t use peat because its collection is unsustainable and damages environment - peat takes thousands of years to fully develop. 3) instead of peat, use RO or distilled water - add coconut husk and optionally blackwater botanicals. This will keep pH and hardness low and stable.

Some lovely colour in those tanks - awesome stuff and java moss is a great receptacle for small fish eggs. Many of the breeders around here use a base of marbles to prevent the eggs being eaten but I reckon that java moss is much better since the tank can be maintained in a natural condition after the spawning with no need for moving the fry. Great stuff.

Couple of questions: 1- How do you prepare the peat? I've checked aquarium water with peat and found out that peat gives out some Ammonia. 2- How long does it take for the fish to get comfortable in the little tanks? In my case they are nervous for the first week or so before feeling at home and starting to breed. Thank you so much for the informative videos

I wish you would have just shown the tank where they're spawning so we could actually see the eggs falling I am watching on my cell phone so this is a tiny screen. Since the guys on the left are not cooperating it's a shame you didn't fill the screen up on the right with the guys that are cooperating. I'm now 70 years old and as a kid I always thought no one could figure out how to breed neon tetras that they always had to be brought in from the wild. It's nice now to know that these are fish that are aquarium kept so they don't miss their natural home in South America. Thank you so very much for this I appreciate it. It's nice to learn something new even when you're 70 years old

Hello Mark, I pray you are well. I know this is an older video but I hope this question reaches you. I am in the process of setting up to breed neon tetras (I never bred egg layers before). My question is about the PH. I understand that they need dark, soft, low PH water to make breeding happen. My concern is that my PH is 8 + and is extremely hard, I am worried that the fast change in PH and hardness will harm my adult fish. Do I need to worry, and at what age can I start to increase the babies PH? You're videos are the best!! I was going to start breeding these guys a little over a year ago, but life got in my way. I have been hooked on fish keeping since I was a small child and I am so excited to get started with breeding. Thank you for all you do, I don't think I would have the courage to even start this without your videos. God bless

Hi. You can do it this way. Put the water from your main aquarium in to your breeding tank but only fill halfway add the fish. Then slowly add rain water over a couple of hours. This will drop the PH and if your fish are conditioned well they should spawn ok. Add moss and Indian almond leaves to.

I’ve never kept regular Neon Tetras, we went straight to Green Neons. They’re a nano fish so are slightly smaller, which means you can have a slightly larger school for a similar bio load as regular Neons. They used to be really rare a few years back as they’re mostly wild caught. Apparently they’re healthier and less inbred because of that. Probably my favourite fish currently. Very beautiful! Especially when moving among the plants.

When you mean peat is it peat moss, coconut peat or compost? Thanks for the videos. These are so comprehensive!

Great! I can understand everything that you have explained. The only thing that I cant work out is how to distinguish a pair. I have never even bothered trying to distinguish a male from a female, never mind trying to find a pair.😜

Females are more rounded in the belly and you'll find the blue flash through their middle tend to have a slight curve. 😊👍

I set up a 29 the same way last week, going to put the neons in today.. Seems like the lighting part is in particular important. The only thing I did different so far is I put All RO water and added a small sponge filter on very low.

Keep lighting low, and once they have spawned turn off the lights until they hatch ok.

@@MARKSAQUATICS So the problem I seem to be having is two things, I really am only guessing if I have a male and female, could be I have two of one or the other, using cardinal tetras. The other thing is I have not seen them do anything like spawning as of yet. My setup is Identical. I think this might take a couple tries.

I enjoyed this video and learned quite a bit. I was wondering if you could go over the parameters for keeping the Neons happy and healthy shall we say. I have a that is around 150PPM with 8.5 GH, 4.5 KH with a PH of what looks to be 7.4-7.6 which I think may be too high. I have lost 5 of 35 thus far. negligable nitrate cant read it planted tank cycled up for 5 weeks 4 weeks then fish introduction. I enjoy your takes on things, thanks so much....
