Does that moustache come with a windowless van and a restraining order?

I have glolite tetras that have been replenishing their school for several years. I wasn't trying to breed them but ever summer my plants take over their tanks and a few babies appear. Great video.

hey mate, im breeding tetras, mostly neons, but other types too. The thing with tds is that it measures electrical conductivity of water. So by lowering pH and adding tannins, you naturally increase conductivity. The molecules of calcium and magnesium which dictate the hardness are bound to each other and thats how you "lower" your hardness. Most tetras (including neons) will spawn in any water, as long as they feel safe. I have them breeding in my community tank with 480 TDS. The trick to hatching is ~20 TDS and pH of about 6.0. To induce spawning separate male and females for 2 weeks and feed them at least 3-4 times a day. It takes about 2 weeks for them to fill up with eggs and males to fill up with milt again. If you put them in a breeding setting (whether it's a box or your holding tank) together any time before 2 weeks, most of the eggs will turn infertile, and egg production will be very low. Idk if you remember me, but few months ago i asked you for advice on keeping fry alive in first 2 weeks, since mine were all dying off. Turns out my sleeping schedule was bad for them. From time i fed them last until i woke up and feed them again, most of them already starved, since they need to be fed every few hours. So if you run into any problems with fry, try tinkering with some kind of automatic feeder with powdered food. I am currently looking for ideas on how to make one.

Wow nice my video my good that is cool to have a Storage garage and a refrigerator For your fish food That is pretty cool with the neon tetras, I wish I was still in the freshwater Hobby I am now doing salt water, I have a question I may be going on live this week love to have you come out on my channel and maybe tell some of my friends who are in freshwater some tips for their tanks let me know if you would be able to join

Just throwing my method into the ring. It has worked really well for me so far. I planted out a 10 gallon tank with a carpet of Utricularia graminifolia. I used a fine gravel, with about an inch of peat mixed into the bottom. I did a dry start. Since there is peat in the substrate, the water will be have tannins without having to mess with blackwater extract. The U. graminifolia likes the same water that is perfect for tetra spawning/hatching. I use pure RO. This setup will automatically be soft and acidic. Plus, the plant eats infusoria, so feeding infusoria is good for the carpet as well as the fry. The traps are too small to eat fish, even newborn tetras. I leave the fry in there until they switch from the larvae stage to small juveniles, then I start the process all over. Mine is not a good method for mass production, but it is a good way for someone to expand out a school. Tetras LOVE scattering their eggs on Utricularia, and the fry love to hide/forage in it. Cheers

Awesome update always a pleasure watching your videos great job

Nick - Congrats on your success with the neon project! I appreciate you keeping us updated on your fish room in every video. Keep up the great work! (Note: You may want to think about shaving that mustache . . . Creepy!)

This is my go to channel for fish breeding. Ive wanted to breed neons for a while. May just do it now lol.

Congrats Nick!

Just watching the end and I would get the brine shrimp on quick lol great stuff

you and George should have a moustache contest. Who is the king of the Hellenes!

For breeding characins and any other egg scatteres you should rather prepare your water before, not in a breeding tank with fish. I usually pepare 200-300 litres of water in a plastic drum, keep adjusting ph and tds and aerate that water for at least 3 days. I use it only for breeding when this water becomes "stable".

I love these vlogs

Coco fiber has salt in it. Harcore gardeners like me, all know this. You've got to leach it out before using it. Unfortunately the companies that sell it don't always tell you this. Soak it over night in fresh water, drain it, then soak overnight again. This is why I don't use coco coir for much other than my worm bins.

Nice congrates

*great info bro. Gonna try to breed some in my fishroom as well*

This is so awesome

👏 good job nick

Great vlog! As for the rise in tds: tds being total dissolved solids include both inorganic and organic solids. As such, the rise in tds could be the tannins released in the water rather than increased hardness, which is what neons dislike.

This is absolutely AMAZING. I'm new to your channel and I'm LOVING IT 👍 🙏 󾓪

I dont know how my neon tetras breed on my tank with so many predators but recently i got 4 wiggles survive and became a decent 1 inch size now. all i did was catch them when i spotted them and just fed them egg yolk and crushed flakes lol

Wow it is fresh

Bravo!

Congrats Nick! I hope you can produce a large tank with 200 Neon Tetras in the future hehe! Keep up the amazing work! 👌

Super cool vlog!!! Loose the stache though!!!!

Wow I have issues breeding guppies - your amazing

When you put the methane blue in the water with the eggs I would put a small air pump in too just to move the water abit but great video and good stuff

Congratulations 🎊 “Let patients have her perfect work 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

You bred Neons! Thats a very hard thing to do! CONGRATS

Great video nick 😀 When will you and Justin collaborate? 😄

Awesome to see small breeders repairing the genetic linage

Very cool vlog, thanks for the shared experience! Neons are one of the fish I always want to breed but have never gotten around to it; maybe some distilled water would be an easier way for most to get into breeding them when just starting so they don’t have to buy an RODI system (:

Hello friend, a question, what do you place as dry mountains coffee. Cheers

Congratulations I’ve tried many times never get lucky tho

YOU'RE REALLY BREEDING NEONS YOU ABSOLUTE FISH WIZARD 🐠 😁

Will bacter ae work for the neon fry, I am having good success raising pigmy Cory's on bacter ae at the start then moving them on to a powered food.

I have heard some people use low angle light to simulate sunrise

Nice moustache

what are the yellow things you put in storage containers, like dry seaweed or something?

I got about 15 neon tetras and they are the most hardy fish in my tank !!

what are your water parameters in the tank in general? not the creature box

Can you use moss for breeding them?

Hi bro. Thanks for your help in breeding neón tetras. i have a problem. i've lost around 300 eggs on 3 sets. why? they are a lpt, but not fertilized. Why they are not fertilizing the eggs???

You should see empire gudgeon fry. The eggs are literally the size of grains of sand

I am trying to breed Rummy Nose Tetras Do u have any tips for me In raising the fry and stuff

I was curious since i can't find videos on this topic it seems like. I have a number of tetras red eye,blackskirt,goldskirt, red minons. Can tetras crossbreed?

What size do the peppermints start breeding?

Kmart is all closed down in the US

did coconut fiber will make water dirty?

How is the baby tetras now

Can I use distilled water?

What about the beneficial bacteria?

Soak Indian almond leaves in the water and make sure the water is more dark you know this because the eggs are super sensitive to light

We don’t have k-mart anymore here, what is the name brand?

So, are Cardinal Tetra's literally just bigger Neon Tetras?

Indian Almond leaves would give you black water, too

I heard that there egg and frys photosensititive is that true

Where do you get a RO system for $80? Cheapest I see is $300+

Why your ear is so red?

Can you show how you identify if its male or female?

Black water buffs the pdf

heyyy lets goo

Do you feed your breeding tetras on the morning of breeding?

First Fish Guy Here 🙂🐠

CONGRATULATIONS I just got two male guppies

Great video, and grats on the fryes. But please dont follow the youtube trend whit spoiler in the beginning. It ruins it for me.

I’m not gay but you look better without a moustache
