With semi to aggressive fish like the Geos more space/ a larger school means the big boy can establish his territory and claim over females. While also reducing aggression against other fish because he cannot focus on one fish enough to cause actual harm.
Good video of a great store.
Very enjoyable tour. Thanks.
Nice

The craziest blue guy ever lol
For such a valuable content I have to subscribe
Thank you and welcome to the channel
Epsom salt is great ive done it multiple times for my fish Its generally my go to if bloat happens
My angels also don’t find vegetables really attractive, never ate them. It’s always bottom feeders and guppies that eat them.
So, I had the same issue with bloating angelfish. With mine it was from worms that I treated with Levamisol and that worked really well. I know that this med is not avail in your part of world but, luckily it isn't worms your dealing with.
We can get leavamisol here with no issues
It does look like she's gotten a bit better, good on you for trying all that you've done so far. She really looks comfortable in this video and I agree that any unneeded stress is best avoided.
Hate to hear about the rainbows but everything else is going great. Thanks for sharing
Has been a real fear of mine Kirk. So sorry for your loss.. 😢
Hey man, Can you send the link of the floodlights you bought from bunnings?
Just type in the bunnings website search bar “arlec 10w led flood light” should pop up for you but here you go just incase www.bunnings.com.au/arlec-10w-led-diy-security-floodlight_p0184010
Try soaking the pellets before feeding
Hi Kirk, it’s Alex. That’s rough mate, we all make mistakes, they make us better business owners so don’t beat yourself up. My dad once bought a tank with big Barramundi in it, put them straight into an esky for transport with chlorinated water in it…. It sucks. We recently installed filter systems on our water supplies for the pressure washers which is supposed to remove chlorine, I can show you how we did it if you’d like. Bit of an extra measure to avoid it in the future. Alex
That sux about the rainbows. Best thing I have done in the fish room is inline water filters. I’m in brisbane so similar water and do 20% daily water changes on 40 tanks. Never add water dechlorinator.
Ive wanted to do something like that but I currently rent and not own so I can’t install anything too permanent to the house water system. Usually never have a problem as i double dose prime to be extra safe, i just completely forgot to add prime this time and the consequence was this but thank you for the tip and useful info
@@Kirks_Aquariumsif you have a hose tap close to your room you could definitely set one up that’s not permanent
That really stuns you when a disaster hits quickly. Hope you can move forward. Mistakes happen.
Yeah definitely not what anyone wants to happen but we learn from our mistakes and can move foward with it all. Thank you
That led light hot some kotle issue with power supply LED strip works. Could be a simple repair like power adapter repkacement
This is the first videos of yours I’ve seen and I’m going to follow ! Just a quick one, do you have a video on what you treat your fish with for quarantine especially worming? Very keen to know what you use.
Thanks for the support and welcome to the channel. Currently do not have a video on quarantine but could make one on the procedure i follow. Not sure where you’re from but i use a brand called “blue planet” here in Australia
I’m over in Perth, I just find it hard to get 1 treatment to cover everything I want taken care of for quarantine. I don’t like over medicating my fish and find I have to dose with a couple different treatments to cover everything properly (especially for worming/parasites) Very interested in what you use from blue planet, the praziquantel in the gill & fluke treatment is what I start with but it doesn’t work on certain types of parasites unfortunately and we don’t have Metronidazole easily accessible here which covers the other type or parasite. It’s very frustrating hahahaha
Aw man, that sucks! 💚
Sorry to hear about the rainbow fish my biggest disaster was going into my fish room to see an empty 180 gallon tank that had cracked on the base and 25 dead african cichlids laying on the sand ...
Oh no that’s rough, I can only imagine the pain of losing 25 african cichlids. Hope you were able to recover from that and still keep going
@@Kirks_Aquariums Got a new tank that day i wasn't going to let that beat me....
Sorry about the baby's dude that's rough.... what brand racks do you use for your fish tanks?
Thank you fof the support, i bought the brand “Rack it” a few years ago but can’t say id do it again as their measurements don’t allow for a lot of standard tanks to fit properly and you end up wasting a lot of space. Hope this helps
@@Kirks_Aquariums thanks mate 👍
Dang that sucks dude, sorry to hear that
Great video mate :) Lots of good tips. Iv had great success over the last year or 2 with breeding Celestial Pearl Danios and Shrimp, getting a bit sick of only making $2.5 for shrimp and $7 for CPDs in store credit, im really thinking of starting a online store to sell from, have you considered doing this ?
Thank you, what strain of shrimp are you selling? As for selling online, ive had thoughts of doing this but never gone through with it just because the stress of shipping fish just adds another layer. I work another job and so running the fish room and making videos for youtube keeps me busy enough but maybe one day in the future who knows. I think selling fish online is profitable but has its own challenges.
@@Kirks_Aquariums I breed Bloody Marys, Blue Dreams and Tangerine Tigers. Im lucky to not have another job ATM so i do have the time, but as you said selling online has its own challenges.
Check with a veterinarian. She too beautiful a fish to lose. Might not be too expensive.
Great information. I started with Angel fish. I added Sturbi And Panda corys. Last year and Gold lasers corys this year. I sell to shops in my area. One only will do credit. The other one will do Cash. My advice is before you start shopping at a store ask the question do you buy from a hobbyist? If not spend your money at a different store. There are several in my area that will not buy from hobbyist.
Thank you for the positive feedback, absolutely love Corydoras especially pandas and gold lasers. Hows the breeding of them been going for you? Also, couldn’t agree more with finding out first if your fish shop will buy fish from hobbyists or not first, i think it’s developing a good trust/ buisness relationship with the store aswell to really help them with buying fish off you but i know some shops just straight up won’t buy fish from hobbyist for whatever their reason. Chain stores in particular certainly won’t as they are usually bound by contracts but thank you for your support and happy fish breeding.
Pandas are going great. Up to 3 groups of them. 1 group of long fin. Gold lasers just got first fry 2 weeks ago. Waiting for the next spawn. Sturbi Are good great. Original group getting eggs once a week. Next generation of breeders just pulled the first eggs from 2 of 3 groups. Low hatch right but they are Yung yet.
Really like this video. As someone who is working on breeding fish I struggled a lot because there is a lot that you have to learn on your own that youtubers don’t tell you, however this video covers that information.
Glad you liked the video, there is a lot to learn when it comes to breeding fish and trying to make a profit for it. I think having to learn most of it on your own through trial and error is the scary part and im happy that this video has helped you and hopefully helps others getting into it. Thank you for the support and good luck on your breeding project.
Your videos are great so informative . Thank you !
Thank you for the feedback and support
Great information!!
Thank you and glad it was helpful
Why you guys in the US don't even try to breed characins? They would sell in thousands to the trade.
Hi, im not from the U.S, im from Australia and can’t say I’ve actually ever seen these fish in my local fish shops before. Had to look them up and they do look cool though
@Malysandacz not getting enough spawns 😢
@@MrWhatsInTheCooler what do you mean by that? You set up a spawn and you getting a spawn;)
More volume, more money. Great business tips mate 👍
In theory yes, all depends what type of fish and how much of a demand there is in your local area. Thanks for the support, much appreciated 😊
Hi Kirk, I love your set up. Do you do Barramundi? Thanks
Thank you, unfortunately no I don’t keep or breed barramundi, they get too big for my small fish room haha, really cool fish though
Great video. New sub.
Very informative my friend .
Thank you, glad you liked it
Thanks for sharing these great tips. Subscribed, supporting your channel from mines @joy of fish keeping
Glad I could help, thank you for the support and welcome aboard 😊
@@Kirks_Aquariums 🙏
These guys are so beautiful, have a few. Subscribed, supporting your channel from my channel @ Joy of fish keeping. Thanks for your great videos
What type of paint do you use on the breeder trays ?
I use a non toxic acrylic spray paint, heaps of brands out there just be sure it says non toxic. Hope that helps
@@Kirks_Aquariums perfect! Ta!
Awesome video and very informative.
I unfortunately don't have many pet stores near me that give store credit even though I live in a major Metropolitan area. The one that I approached literally insulted me and said they could get their's wholesale and they would gladly take them for free.
This is when you use selling sites where your able to sell pets and fish. The problem there is having to wait for someone to find your ad and purchasing off of you which can take a bit of time. Joining groups on social media and searching if anyone is looking for what you're selling also could help a bit but then you have to worry about scammers and no shows.
If they are a major pet store than most of them won’t give cash or even store credit due to them being bound by contracts, if its a local family fish store they usually will give store credit unless the asking price is way higher than what they can buy it from wholesalers, if not might just be worth trying a different small mum and pop fish shop. Hope that helps
Talk to them again find the owner and find out what they can’t keep alive .
Even the mum and pop shops mostly refuse the moment u ask them if you buy from a breeder They say straight no
If it’s one particular mum and pop fish shop, they may have had a bad experience buying from a breeder or just straight up dont want too. Id suggest trying a different store and bringing in a sample of what you have to offer, i hope this helps and sorry your having a rough time with selling
I’ve really been enjoying your videos - they’re super informative and very well done. Keep up the good work!
Glad youve been enjoying them and thank you for the support, it really means alot
All great info. 👍
👍🏻👍🏻
If you give her an Epsom salt bath on her own she will poop it out quite quickly you should have a result within three hrs a couple of tablespoons in a 20 litre tank should do the trick , I have had it with Angels and Discus , if you are feeding bloodworms it could be the source of the bloat
Thank you for the helpful tip, im gonna have to give this a try and hopefully does the trick. Will update you with the results
The swollen angel fish give her an Epsom salt bath she is bloated
Your guppies are called HB Red Koi [because of the red head]. Use only females with the red head to make the line breed true. Cheers!
can i send u some guppies for u to breed
Hi, depends where you are located and what strain of guppies they are? The fish room is pretty jam packed right now with fish but i might be able to make room if they are a strain of guppy im chasing 😊
Feed the angel fish with the big stomach boiled peas it will flush her
Thank you, I haven’t tried that yet but i will and hopefully get some results with her
@@Kirks_Aquariums good luck! Love your vids keep them coming
You have to peel the peas . I do
