  What is the size of tank to grow all fish fry

• 
  @PaulsFishroom2 ай бұрын

  Just as with growing on any other fry: the bigger the spawning the more tanks and frequent water changes needed. You can see from the video that hundreds of fry were produced by spawning just one female. Therefore if you want to raise all the fry from one spawning you can appreciate that this will involve a lot of effort growing them on to a saleable size.

  Hi Paul, how do you achieve the target ph/ stability with no kh or gh?

• 
  @PaulsFishroom2 ай бұрын

  The adults are only in the tank for 2 to 3 days and are not fed during this period. As the fry are growing regular partial water changes are carried out with any mulm being siphoned off the tank bottom. The water is replaced with water with higher pH, KH and GH - in small amounts to begin with…

  With the Lemon Tetras I have to cover the front glass so they feel safe enough to spawn as my fish room is very small and I’m busy doing water changes every morning. I have to do this with many spawnings, not just tetras, otherwise the fish are too nervous to breed. I simply check the spawning tanks late afternoon to see if there are any eggs under the spawning grill. Interesting that you haven’t noticed that small tetras won’t feed on their eggs?

  Hi Paul, have you tried spawning the Red Cherry Tetras again? I find they need a couple of weeks break between spawns. Also, I had better success with a group of 6 in a 10 gallon tank half full with java moss. I am curious to hear (read) about your experience with these.

•

  Thanks for the information. No I haven’t tried the Red Cherries again - I only had a trio, 1 male and 2 females, to start with and lost one of the females. What were your water parameters and hatch rate?

• 
  @regisand2 ай бұрын

  @PaulsFishroom we have glacier water here in Portland, Oregon, US. So the tap water is pretty close to rain water or RO water. PH comes out at 7.2, but after 24hrs of aging and aeration it goes down to 6.8. I keep them at 76F and spawn them at 78F. I don't know the hatch rate because when I use a grid, they don't seem to spawn. Very weird. But when they are in a bare bottom 10 gallon tank, with matten filter, half full of Java moss, I leave them there for a week, then remove all adults and wait. That usually results in 150 to 200 fry.

  Hey sir ...im new to angelfish breeding and trouble getting them to breed. Can you tell me how do you get them to breed (triggering) and about tank sizes and how do u perform water changes. By water changes i mean how often and how much do you change water. If u can help that would be great 🙏

• 
  @PaulsFishroom3 ай бұрын

  Getting them to breed is a big question I like to buy a group of youngsters and grow them up together feeding them a variety of foods eg quality dried flakes and granules along with frozen adult brine shrimp, frozen glass worm (white mosquito larvae). Start off with a group of 8 if you can and you will get at least one or two pairs. Ideally use a 30 gallon, or larger, aquarium. In my fish room I keep them in bare bottom tanks to make water changes easier. I tend to syphon the mulm from the bottom of the tank each day changing about 10% of the water. As they grow partial water changes become larger but will depend on your feeding practices. If you feed them well they should start breeding at around 8 months old. Once you have identified a pair put them in a separate tank at a temp of about 80F and increase your feeding and partial water changes. You can see the water parameters I use in the videos. Good luck 🤓👍

  Thank you sir for the information I have some more questions .. • doesn't daily water changes make them stress • what's the tank size adequate for a breeding pair Now I have babies from one pair(rest of the pairs aren't breeding properly or not altogether) and should I do small water changes in the fry tank regularly?

• 
  @PaulsFishroom3 ай бұрын

  @@vishwanirmala5256 I don’t find that water changes stress the fish too much. If anything they seem to make the fish more active. I don’t know what the quality of your tap water is so cannot really advise you how to carry out your water changes. However, I simply syphon off the mulm every day and, for small water changes, use cold tap water that passes through a HMA unit. For larger water changes the water is stored for a couple of days and brought up to temperature. Tank sizes obviously will dictate how much water you’ll need to change on a regular basis. There is no better way to learn than experience and you’ll gain this over time as we all have to do unfortunately. 👍

  @PaulsFishroom3 ай бұрын

  @@vishwanirmala5256 I breed my pairs in different size tanks but my favourite size to use is 55 x 45 x 50 cm of approximately 19 UK gallons. As for how much and often you change water this will depend upon the size of the spawning and your feeding regime. Just syphon the mulm off the tank bottom each day and make larger water changes as the fry grow. The key is just keeping your water as clean as you can as this will help with fin development and growth.

  Hello Paul, I was wondering if and how you condition the adult fish before you move them to the spawning tank. Also, the spawning tank is RO? Do you keep de adults in the rearing tank on RO as well and at what temperature? Thanks a lot, love your videos!

• 
  @PaulsFishroom4 ай бұрын

  I tend to feed all my fish on a mixture of dried foods and frozen foods. The frozen foods tend to be adult brine shrimp and glass worm (white mosquito lava). I never use blood worm either live or frozen as I’ve found the it is prone to introducing internal bacterial infections. My rearing tank water parameters are 4Gh, 2KH with a pH around 7.5. For spawning tanks I show the parameters on most of my videos but use RO water a basis sometimes adding Catappa leaves. I used to use peat but it is increasing difficult to obtain here in the UK…
