Ty for sharing this helps a lot!

What a great video! I’ve heard all of these things before, but it’s great to hear a reminder of all of them in a list like this.

Thank you Jason ❤

Thanks for this video, Jason. I think the conditions are good for my bristlenose plecos. Every time I turn around, there are more babies. My husband and I have just spent 3 days giving some of the larger ones away or trading for other fish.

Just got my first issues of Amazonas. Super mag, great quality! My husband got the nail that day and thought I renewed my subscription to Bon Appetit magazine lol!

I wish you could do a video on how to pairof species like the earth eaters You’ve got great how to videos.

Great video! Is it possible to control/slow down breeding if you only want the occasional smaller spawn? For example with kribensis.

You could either remove the female or add fish that will eat the fry.

I recently found a very small pygmy cory in my aquarium. There was an illness in the tank in December that I thought killed off all, but one of my corys.

can you make an updated fish room tour?

11. Make sure you have a male and a female in the tank 😁 There are hobbyist who got excited seeing their american cichlid spawning eggs and asked will they hatch meanwhile they only have females in the tank

On the subject of species only tanks some fish feel safer and more secure if a shoal of small dither fish are in the tank like ember tetras. To counter the small enough to eat problem. Use a twist of the fry box system. Either use a couple of larger fry boxes with dithers, or make a wider shallow tank that will perform the same purpose, up to about twenty percent the size of the surface area of the breeding tank secured to have some of that tank sub surface a clear base so problems solved. It worked for me with small to medium sized catfish and cichlids.

When I had Guppies, they used to breed like mad. Now that I keep just White Clouds, supposedly they are easy to breed, but never seem them do it.

I had 4 platys, now i have 3. One is a pointy tail red tail wag tail - I dont know, its red and black with a pointy weird tail - no fish likes that one and they chase it away. I have 3 right now, 1 died. The one that died kept getting chased by the other normal platys, and one platy was locked onto it all the time - if it moved, the other moved - and that fish died. It didn't act like it was upset or stressed, but it died one day randomly. Now the two normal platys are stuck together like the other were. I dont see any difference in these fish at all, to say ones a male and ones a female. I'm actually confused by these fish. Yesterday, all three of them were dancing and following each other in a circle, real close together in a clump. Then after about 10 minutes of this dancing, the normal platys chased the pointy tail away and back to normal. Are all the fish I have male? LOL I dont know...

I had a similar problem with platys being very aggressive toward each other. Annoying because everyone claims they are great for a community tank but I find someone is always being chased especially the males stressing each other out

What are the best water parameters for breeding Bolivan Rams and GBR please ?

@PrimeTimeAquatics

Жыл бұрын

Bolivian check this out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q5xqmKWRidareJM.html GBR water should be 82-83, soft with a pH closer to 6.5.

Hey Prime Time Aquatic is this a good stocking list for 20 gallon long planted tank ? 6 CPD 6 Sliver Hatchetfish 6 Panda Corydora 3 Teacup Platy (1 Male and 2 Female) 1 Sunset Honey Gourami 1 Bolivian Ram 2 Clown Pleco and some Amano Shrimp and Mystey Snails.

I have a question for you. Where I live the osmozed water are also ozoned. This is ok for fish thanks ?

Ozone treated water is usually safe - the ozone breaks down rapidly.

Which Repashy do you use for your Bristlenose? I'm using Soilent Green with no results thus far...

@Prime Time Aquatics I've tried the Communty Plus, and for some reason, NONE of my fish will hardly touch the stuff, let alone my Bristlenose.

What about snails? I have a white cloud tank. Supposed to be easy to breed. But I've only gotten TWO fry that have grown. There are a LOT of snails in there, and a couple Amano shrimp. Could that be the issue??

White clouds will sometimes eat fry, but I doubt the snails or shrimp are doing anything.

@@PrimeTimeAquatics okay. Good to know. It has a lot of plants, but that must be happening. Because I've had them long enough, and I'm thinking there should be more. Thanks!

My white clouds keep eating there babies :( might have to play musical fish.

Hi, can you make a video on how to stop breading fish? lol. I've only got 2 x 20 gallon tanks and the platies and corydoras keeps on breading and I do not have a grow out tank and this causes "over population" while I'm waiting for them to get to a size before I can give them away for free. I want to enjoy my 2 fish tanks and do not want to start a bussiness lol

Congrats, you have a great set up where your fish are breeding like mad...that is a hazard for live breeders such as platies, guppies, and swordtails. I have a similar situation with red swordtails. For me I grow them out to about 1/2" then just give them to my LFS for free. Swords are so common I don't get paid for them, rather I get good will and discounts for what ever I buy and it's all on a hand shake. But I always ask him if he can use/sell them, so it's not a regular drop off. I personally think conscious breeding of fish, requires a plan for the future of the offspring.

I never kept my tanks with a lot of fish, I had fishtanks by the age of 8. As my late husband used to say, there's not enough bed for everyone, meaning not to keep the tanks crowded.

First!

Jason, I have a professor question for you regarding #1. If you just left a tank on its own, but fed and maintained it, do you think/or know if natural selection would even out the population gender curve or even begin favoring females over males? What I mean is would the males eventually compete to death or age out and the female population would grow at a higher rate? Also, apologies for not being on the livestreams the past few months. I've been busy irl and trying to minimize my social media interactions. Still watch yours and Joanna's stuff though.

Good question - it depends on the type of fish. For more aggressive fish the males will wipe each other out, but for many less aggressive fish they just do a lot of showing off.

Because they are all male 🤣😂
