How I Keep And Breed Tiger Barbs
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
A simple approach to keeping and breeding tiger barbs in a single species tiger barb tank, with information about tank mates, tiger barb eggs, and raising their babies. I go over my tiger barb tank setup and general tiger barb care. I also include a chart with tiger barb water parameters such as temperature, pH, and water hardness. I also follow the development of their fry from birth to sexual maturity, with a look at my tiger barb egg nursery.
There's also a warning about keeping tiger barbs in a community tank.

Dave, as always you have done a great job filling this video. As a person who loves aquarium flora and fauna, I appreciate your efforts and time in creating such wonderful content. During my student time, I have been working as an aquatic specialist in a zoo shop chain in Minsk, Belarus. That's why I know difficult to find balance in the process of breeding fish and creating a comfortable environment for them because I visited a lot of fish suppliers and saw how they treat fish - unfortunately for most of them it's just a business. For me, it was a pleasure to hear from my customers - that they somehow managed to breed fish in their tanks (in most cases it was not on purpose). I always took fish and plants from my constant customers, though it was illegal, so-called black market 😁 Because I knew they treat fish with love

When something startles them, they swim a bit away, then turn around to check out what it was. Wonderful fish for pets. With the way they eat in such a frenzy, I call them my little piranhas. Of course when its cleaning time, they promptly try their best to eat my hand lol. Quite a grip they got on there bites.

@TheDave333
Жыл бұрын
It's best to add them all at once, and it also helps to have them all about the same age/size. How many you can have will depend on your filtration, number and type of plants, as well as how heavily you feed. With proper maintenance, I'd say you could get away with 30 tiger barbs in a 55 G. Be sure to check your water parameters frequently to be sure that nitrite / nitrate levels don't spike.

They might be eating biofilm, and someone also mentioned that it could be hydra as well. Who knows, it was just neat to see. 20 tiger barbs in 100 liters is a lot. Much of what you can, or can't do, in this hobby depends on your degree of experience, time, and level of commitment. The filtration, water change schedule, and feeding regimen will also be important factors for success. I fully expected a lot of people to say, "that's too many tiger barbs in that tank!" There are so many factors to consider that will determine if it will work. I don't think a newbie could do it, and I didn't want a beginner to try and then become disappointed and quit the hobby, or harm the fish.

Thank you for watching the video. You make a very good point. White text would have been a much better choice. . . I'm not sure what the exact color is, and I'm away from the studio at the moment. It looks like a blood red. . . It was originally meant to be placed over tiger barb footage, so I needed something that stood out against the background. I should have changed it. . .

Be sure to keep the water warm (78 - 80 degrees), feed them protein rich foods like bloodworms, give them a place to lay their eggs, and remove the adults, so they don't eat the eggs.
Tiger barbs will hunt and eat hydras as well as infusoria.
