What great footage. The music's rather fitting too. I didn't realise sticklebacks can share a tank with tadpoles, either.

Putting them with tadpoles ain't ideal but u can

Love it.

Did you have to put any effort into maintaining the temp around 17-19deg in the summer? It gets quite hot where I live and Im concerned about starting a stickleback tank if I cant maintain the cooler temperature they need.

No, my tank is in my kitchen so in winter it's about 16 to 18 degrees, and will be warmer in summer (probably about 23 degrees).... I do have an air pump going every so often to help with oxygenation though.

Awesome and just what we needed

Brilliant video thanks

Wow, this is really cool! I'm planning on setting up a little cold freshwater paludarium in spring time. Was planning on having a few of these fish in there. Would be amazing if I could get them to breed. How cold is the water in this tank? Just room temperature, or do you cool the water somehow? And this is pure freshwater, right? Thanks a lot for sharing this!

Hi, yes it's just room temp - probably fluctuates between 15-18 degrees c (as it's in our kitchen not the lounge). The water is just freshwater. I think they can breed quite easily (mine actually bred twice in one year) ... but the issue I had is that the babies eventually just got eaten (I'm presuming unless they just died of natural causes) so I would recommend separating the fry from the other fish if possible. Good luck. What I did was separate the male and female with a clear screen so that they could still see each other, and then, when they seemed like they were in breeding condition I removed the screen and let them get on with it. ... that's how I managed to capture them doing it on my phone

thought i might add some tips as i have a juvenile stickleback called mr stickles in a 6 gallon native aquatic beetle tank. the temp fluctuates between 20-25 c with no issues. where i usually find them is very shallow and heats up easily. they are very hardy and easily accustomed to people and mine readily follows my finger. feeding is pretty easy and mine eats flakes, pellets, mosquito larva and any bugs i throw in for the beetles

I think where he goes into the nest as she goes past, he's showing her where the nest is, could be wrong like ha, there's a great video on KZread about stickleback breeding behaviour your stickleback looks like he is doing similar. Nice video. Emma.

Agreed... They've bred twice now, but so far they've eared all the babies after a week or so.... Next time I'll separate the babies

@@aurorastudios that's cool, aww poor babies lol next time hopefully 😊👍

You can give a child a wide range of coloured felt tip pens and he or she will draw a picture,,,, ,You can give the same felt tip pens to an adult and he or she will give you a funny look or probably take it as an insult,,,, yet the only thing that did not change is the information held within the felt tip pens in terms of their variation and potential to be a useful tool.........Most cant see themselves past the way they have been conditioned and the concepts they have adopted to interpret others......FACT
