@@crisnaldo07402 sorry I don’t understand why you want to separate the fish?

@@PaulsFishroom bcoz it may eat the eggs

@@PaulsFishroom I have two shark irridscent fish so

@@crisnaldo07402 to breed them you need to transfer the adults to a breeding tank over a spawning grid. Once they’ve spawned remove them etc. Follow the video as it shows you how to spawn the adults and rear the fry. Good luck 👍

@@henryhsueh3553 you’re much too kind. Glad you enjoyed the video 🤓👍

@@dh38429 I also like bettas with long fins as well as some of the new strains of plakats on the market. The trouble with the longer finned bettas is that they have to be bred before their fins get too long. The red half moon male in the video could not wrap the female in a spawning embrace!

@@CrowntailHalfmoon sadly doubtful but ‘never say never’ 🙄👍

@@kinnikuzero thank you. I personally love gouramis but unfortunately most that are available for sale in the UK are the ‘fancy’ coloured strains. I much prefer the wild forms and hope to make more videos of wild forms in the future if I can find any for sale.

@@PaulsFishroom I agree the wild ones seem more interesting, I like the chocolates the most, they kinda remind me of juvenile Uaru A. which is my favorite fish.

@@sibashishpaul6681 unfortunately, they don’t show much colour when for sale in the shops. They are therefore a difficult fish to sell but make ideal fish for a nano tank.

Paul, I have gone through all your posts. It's treat for me. Now, thirsty for more😀😀

@@sibashishpaul6681 lol my wife would not agree with you 😂

@@PaulsFishroom 😂😂😂

@@sibashishpaul6681 WYSIWYG - system works absolutely fine and has done ever since it was installed. My house is very old and the fish room is v small I’ve raised thousands of fish in this room. If I had a bigger fish room / house I’d change / adapt it. Can’t remember the last time I had to use a bucket for water changes etc … 🤓

@@mattyt476 it depends. I’m in Liverpool and it depends how many you want?

@@PaulsFishroom would be looking about 8

@@sibashishpaul6681 yes sometimes pairs don’t fancy each other and changing one of the fish may, but not always, lead to a successful spawning. With some fish putting a group in the breeding tank may sometimes also work…

@@PaulsFishroom the best thing of this video is it's a complete video. Nesting, egg laying, fry hatching, food, conditions, raising of fry to adulthood,,, all in one video. Thanks 👍👍👍

@@sibashishpaul6681 I do try to do this in my videos. Many fish are relatively easy to breed but raising the fry is the hard part 🤓👍

@@PaulsFishroom I am subscribing you 👍👍👍

@@richardJWAKEFIELD thanks you for that. I’m also pleased the you’re happy with the Koi 🤓👍

@@Sijonant thanks you 🤓👍

@@bigfishlad4847 thank you Paul. This hobby continues to present us with challenges - whoever said that keeping fish is relaxing never had an aquarium 😵‍💫

@@PaulsFishroom 😂 Good point Paul

@@dh38429 thank you. Fingers crossed they seem fine now and the fins are growing back 🤞

@@philipwilkinson988 thank you 🤓👍

@@markfranklin8831 thanks they are well on the way to recovery 🤓👍

Ok, thank you. The reason I use comments rather than a voice over is that people watch them in different parts of the world - lots of viewers may find my Liverpool accent more difficult to understand (plus I don’t like the sound of my own voice 😅). I also put comments relating to the dates of spawning, hatching, the free swimming stage and at each stage of growth until they are at a saleable size. In addition I put the water parameters required to breed and hatch the eggs which, unfortunately , many breeding videos on TH-cam fail to mention …

@@PaulsFishroom I agree you are highly informative with guides but mostly people like simplicity and for your voice and accent try some AI tools

@@Yassuojkl if the hatching tank is clean, you’re using RO water and the eggs are fertile fungus should not be a problem. Alternatively, you could add an anti fungus medication (following the directions given - eSHa 2000 is good if you can get it). Many people recommend methylene blue but it something that I avoid as it dyes everything blue (including the eggs).

@@PaulsFishroom air stone vs filter bio sponge, which is better? Thanks!

@@Yassuojkl if possible I prefer to use a mature sponge filter otherwise I’ll use an air-stone…

@@PaulsFishroom thanks!

@@ediwatdahek yes it was surprising because the female wasn’t very heavy with eggs. 🤓👍

@@prashanthprakasam8246 thank you for your very kind words. If I have Java fern I like to use this because when the fry first start swimming and looking for food the moss holds lots of microorganisms. I do however remove to moss after a few days as it is easier to syphon any uneaten food off the bottom of the tank and keep it clean. I use the mops when I do not have enough moss to use in the spawning tanks. I do need to make some new mops though as they are years old - perhaps using something called ‘eyelash’ wool which has lots of hair like wool coming from the main strand of wool…

@@PaulsFishroom Thanks for your reply sir. My doubt is regarding the Spawning process. Tetras being egg scatters, so do they need any materials like ( Moss, Ferns, or Mops ) for them to trigger the spawning and start to lay egg? or With just a mesh on bottom (to protect the eggs) and without any additional materials will they spawn and scatter the eggs?

@@prashanthprakasam8246 I would always suggest some spawning material in the tank as it makes the fish less nervous and also provides a hiding place for fish that are being pursued by an overly ‘aggressive’ partner …

@@PaulsFishroom Thank you so much. I'm finding hard to culture Infusoria for my tetra fries and so as an alternative can i feed Vinegar eels? or just brine shrimp as the food? Please tell me any alternatives for Infusoria. Thanks

@@prashanthprakasam8246 sorry but most tetra fry require the smallest of food. Brine shrimp is too large for newly free swimming fry and vinegar eels is a little larger than infusoria. At a push you could try with the vinegar eels and see if you can raise a few fry feeding them. Good luck.

@@ishantgaming4266 these unfortunately are Scalare and not the true Altum Angel. They come from the Rio Nanay and you often see them for sale as the Peruvian Altum - I guess this is for purely marketing purposes.

@@Chik_plays there will be a gap of a few months now as my tanks are full of fry growing on… The fish room is only small 😟

@@karank2287 I use RO water as my tap water is awful for hatching fish. Rainwater would also be fine if you live in an area that has little or no pollution.

@@PaulsFishroom ok, thanks

@@bradstanks4500 maybe in a few months as my tanks are full of Angels at the moment. My fish room is only very small…

@@891Nils much depends on the amount of tank space I have at the time and also how good the parents are. I have two pairs that fight with each other over brood care so I tend to hatch their eggs artificially. One of the advantages of hatching the eggs artificially is that it is easier to feed the fry and maintain the water quality. I cannot think offhand of any other disadvantage…

​@@PaulsFishroomyeah, those are my exact thoughts. If your focus is on maintaining hygiene in the tank, artificially hatching the eggs should be the way to go....although I really enjoying watching a pair of angelfish care for their brood. Always fascinates me, even after all those years in the fish keeping hobby😅

@@CrowntailHalfmoon you’re v welcome 🤓👍

@@CrowntailHalfmoon I tend to use Interpet “Anti-internal bacteria” to treat pop eye. However, with this Angel it has not been 100% successful but at least controls the problem. This medication has worked with other cichlids in the past and does clear the cloudy eye with this Angel but unfortunately does not reduce the excess gas in the eye…

@@PaulsFishroom Thank you!

@@karank2287 you can use the same method and water parameters. Try to aim for a KH 0 get a maximum hatch rate. This is a link to a video that I uploaded a few years ago: th-cam.com/video/30JVK9v8jkw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JzcO5rWHOuJVPkwQ

@PaulsFishroom ok got it. Thanks

@@skandaabeyesekere4221 the fish were not separated nor specially fed for this video but I often will do this for 10 days or so. You could try a suspended net a jarva fern or maybe put some glass marbles on the tank base. Good luck.

@@abdulsaboorraza6691 thank you. Lots of wild coloured fish have been replaced on the market with man-made coloured fish unfortunately. Worse still the ballon forms!

@@JimBodkin no they are from the same pair shown in the older video. I have some 9 month old young from another pair that are now approaching maturity. Many years ago friends of my travelled to Holland and brought back Nanay Angels that were selling under the name of Peruvian Altums…

@@PaulsFishroom Paul they are lovely shaped angels , I think the Peruvian bit comes from the location of the River Nanay is in Peru, we managed to get some Altum angelfish looking forward to growing them on.

@@JimBodkin good luck with the Altums 🤓👍

@@dh38429 thank you. The male’s eye is unfortunately a long term issue after he came off worse in a fight with another male. I’ve been able to control the problem over a number of months using a variety of different medications but not cure it completely…

@@LushSaltyAquariums they generally start looking for food shortly after spawnings. However, only small amounts of food are give as their appetite can be reduced for a few days.
