I love how natural this looks. They are grouping and acting EXACTLY like they do in the wild. Good job. 👍

Cool way to run the Green Sunfish. Fun to see them interacting and getting a spawn is really a hoot too.

Seeing this makes me wanna do a sunfish tank!! Keep us updated

That's a cool tank setup! Thanks for sharing!🙂👍

I’d recommend trying hard boiled egg yolk When I bred angel fish and goldfish fry, I would hard boil an egg, take the yolk and put it in with a bag that had tank water in it and mash it up then take a syringe to squirt some of the egg yolk in the tank The yolk is so small in it particles that the small fry could eat it You just gotta do water changes a bit more often and not feed to much to not spoil the tank Egg yolk is very high in protein and helps a lot in growth, you can also try to grow baby brine shrimp if you wanna go that route as well

“Whatever I needed to do” = Lunch lol

Guppies are live bearers, they don't "emerge from the gravel" :))

aw what a proud daddy fish

Those are some great looking meanie greenies! And congrats on breeding them! Some pointers on rearing fish fry: - Use low-current filters like sponge or UGF - You can feed them infusoria (like you did), as well as brine shrimp nauplii (from frozen), mashed up boiled egg yolk, and finely ground up flake food

You should make a massive tank and add a bunch of different types. Like the community panfish aquarium. Would also be nice to put any babies from your other tanks in there. Really like your setup

I saw a video with Father Fish who recommended the leaf litter. I used it and muck water from where I fish and covered it with gravel on a new 40 gallon tank. It was a super easy set up with minimal ammonia.

Wow they look like Dark Knight Black Rams but waay bigger. Best looking native tank on youtube.

I used to catch these as a kid in ponds around MA. More the Banded Sunfish, I think. I never would've considered having them as aquarium pets.

tank looks good. happy that your plants are thriving all that protects the environment and fish etc , loving it. looking forward to the next update!

If your temperature in the house is 70° that is why you’re sunfish are spawning. Smallmouth bass spawn between 63 and 65° largemouth bass spawn between 66 and 69 and sunfish spawn at 70. Same with Bluegills. If you continue to keep your house at 70° they will continue to keep going through a spawning pattern.

It is most likely the drop in PH that triggered the spawn. That is a trick for getting some cichlids to spawn. Put wood or leaves in the tank to leach tannins and drop PH and they will spawn a few days later.

You rTank looks wonderful! The smallest fish I ever raised were Siamese Fighting Fish, and they are very interesting. Someone here recommended egg yokes, and a book I read talked about straining them through a handerchief. There is products out there called, Liquid Fry Food that you could use, (Cory Aquarium Co-Op-Easy Fry). The secondary food for my Siamese Fighting Fish, and possibly would work at the start for the Sunfish, would be baby brine shrimp from eggs. I did not use liquid fry since that was 40 years ago I raised them, just went to baby brine shrimp, so lost most of the Bettas. The Bettas are so small that the newborn guppies ate some. If you had a huge tank, and just a pair of Sunfish, my guess would be that the pair could raise them like Cichlids to.

Truely Amazing!! Try raising pumpkinseed sunfish. I think they are one of the most colorful fish.

Dude, you did it. You bred captive sunfish!

Bro great video. If you take regular fish, flake food, put a pinch in some water, let it break down so it’s real fine, the baby fish will eat all of that

Lovely green tank ❤

I subbed, I love native tanks, especially sunfish !

I love your tank!

My greengills (bluegill green sunfish hybrid) are fattened up like they have eggs too! excited to see what comes of it.

Add baby brine shrimp or grow them outside they grow extremely fast. I think it has something to do with the sunlight.

Beautiful tank! I have kept green sunfish before, but with all of the organic materials in your tank (leaves and suchlike), how do you keep the algae and rotting detritus taken care of? How big is your tank and what type of filtration do you use? Right now I keep spotfin shiners, blunt nose minnows, banded and rainbow darters and a brindled madtom catfish in my tank, but no live plants. Thanks in advance!

More vids like this!

I successfully bred my Green Sunfish pair too. Awesome fish.

Unreal to think they make it in the wild being that tiny

I want green sunfish so bad, but I don’t seem to find them here in my part of Georgia

Dude thats awesome! How big is that sunfish tank? Did you catch these fish and put them in?

I’ve had green sunfish, what’s the climate and how did you get them To spawn

I wanna do a native tank so bad. So I would still have to treat the water, but I could still add things from the wild? Like sticks leaves & rocks? Without introducing a parasite of some sort to kill the fish?

Can we have a update video

Update please

Wow what a nice tank love your videos

You're breeding baby Bobby Garlands!

Ive always wanted to breed a sunfish before but my sunfish are to fixated on food 🤣

Do live food video’s

How big is the tank

Where can I get pet sunfish?

I like the video but it doesn't need the annoying music if you call that music

Your tank is dramatically too small for a them fish
