@@indikasilva7177 thank you very much.

Yes. At the moment most of fish varities i have been kept as hobby. Now i am doing breeding also as a part of my hobby. Some times i sell them coz i want to empty the tanks for new species. Otherwise I am not doing this as profit.

Add 4 - 6 g per galloon. Not only salt please put 24 hours light. And other things. Increase airation.

@@SerendibAquatics thank you. I added aeration, ICH-X and Seachem stress guard for any stress they might be going through. Lights are around 24 hours… I am on day 3 of treatment. I lost 1 leopard frog plecos smh, the smallest one. The rest seem to be doing fine, and they don’t have as much spots on them. I do a 25% water change before I do the next dose. Fingers crossed that this clears up in the next few days. Thank you

@@gq_aquatics good luck. Start food dr basseler martinae. Dont do water changes until day 7 of treatments. Be patience and do supportive care.

Avoid ammonia spickes. Coz fish will eat less untill full recover. Small amount of food 2 times or 3 times per day is enough until recover ( very small amount)

@@SerendibAquatics thank you

@@LanVu331 my dear friend, I explained it in vedeo. Size difference , fin difference, colour and body shape difference are there. Easy to find.

​@@SerendibAquaticssame problem i cant find any female gourami in my local fish stores.. they sell all males... 😢😢

@@mytee4422 most of the time they sell males coz. Only the male is more beautiful. That is the reason. Somehow try to find female.

@@dulithashanuja3674 Thank you.

Thank you. Nerite snail eggs.

In rice fish it takes much more time to hatch. Day 4 to day 8 takes to hatch.

@@SerendibAquatics thank you 😊

1) prepare well planted aquarium. 2) keep it 1 week for cycle. 3) put some guppies anothor 1 week. 4) daily feed them to stabilize the nitrogen cycle. 5) buy CPD 10. 6) put into a quarantine tank for atleast 14 days. 7) then acclimatize the CPD to your pre preapared aquarium. 8) 1st daydont feed them. 9) from next day start to fees them live brine shrimps twice per day. Small amount. Food can change with dr basseleer food varities and decapsulated brine shrimps. 10 ) don't over feed them. One day per week use to not feed them. 11) don't increase the fish density in the tank. 12) use some neo caridina shrimps. Algae eaters. 13) use good sponge filter or canister filter. Water flow should be slow. 14) ph 6.5 - 7.5 T 18 to 27 celcius Tds 100 to 150 is best Good luck. Please put an update

Thank you

Substrate should dark,soft and small particles. If you can crush and you it may be ok. But i never use it. If you use it please put it into another tank atleast 1 week to season it. 2nd stage we should dry it.

Thank you.

5 females for 2 males is very good.

@SerendibAquatics thanks for your information

It is pleasure.

Thank you. 🙏

Could you please put a photo of the fish here. Then will try to identify it.

Sure

Will try to make a good guide. It will take time. 🙏

​@SerendibAquatics take your time. Your videos are very detailed and informative. I subscribe

Thank you. 🙏

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

​@@SerendibAquaticswhere are you from?

You can try with that. But the basic point is the food should be small enough for the fry to eat. Killi fry are bit larger. Thus i think can go ahead with micro worm.

Not sure with geo. But can keep with angles. But keep in mind they want much more hiding places.

Thank you very much.

They are unique and very beautiful. ❤

Yes they are very shy. Females specialy. But they are veey beautiful when they seatle to aquarium

I use dr basseler fish food varities for all my fish. With decapsulated baby brine shrimp. Specialy when i feed breeders i use mosquito larvae or live brine shrimps.

Thank you for share your valuble experience with us.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Most of the time upto 2 years. I have no experience more then 2 years. Usually 1 to 2 years

No.no. keep them in same tank until 3 or 4 days. Feed them very small am9unt of egg yolk solution. After day 5 you can transfer if you want. I put eggs 3 days into same tank. Next 3 days to a another tank. It is easy.

@@SerendibAquatics i see. do you do small water change to this fry tank until day 5 when you move them? i guess i worry the feeding would contaminate the egg that hasn’t hatched.

It is according to the fry count and amount of egg yolk you put to the tank. Purpose of water change in fry tank is maintain the water quality. Most of the time when we use egg yolk solution , remain foods produce ammonia and waste products. When we do daily small water changes it is better to maintain water chemistry of the tank. I also feed them but contamination may be their. Tanin contain water give some protection and low dose of food may be effective against contamination.

Ok. Thank you. Most of the times breeders may not send the females. But if you have one female fish, it is enough for the breeding. Try to find one or two females. They are very beautiful.

They are cenepa red pencil fish. I will put the link which we breed them.

Yes correct. But i kept some more fish with them. To confirm the stability of tank I aerate all my tanks. 1) it will help to give proper oxygen into the water. 2) toxic gas ( ammonia and clorine ) will go out with it. 3) water movements give the active aquarium feeling. You are correct without aeration we can keep medaka rice fish

@@SerendibAquatics Medaka keeper here as well greetings from asia <3

Superb. Thank you.

Yes. Sure now all my 1st batch have colurs.

Thank you for your valuble comment. Now one of my asian rummynose tank i have more than 15 adults and more than 20 sub adults . In that tank initialy more than 40 cherry shrimps. Due to dense plant growth in that tank i thought shrimps will survive but following 1.5 months now there are no any cherry shrimps in that tank. Aian rummynose have unique sets of behaviors. Good luck for your breesing project ! If you have any question feel free to put comment below. Thank you again.

Initialy we should put them in a target feeding tank. Now i use 5 galloon plastic container for it. But following day 14 to 20 you should put them into a separate large tank. Now I use 2 ×1 ×1 glass tank for it. Thank you.

Superb. Thank yoy for share your experience. Please share if you have any more.

If we put very small number of fry into very large tank with much more plants without any other fish they will survive. If we separate 3 fry and try to feed them most of the time it will fail. If you have less number of fry. Below 10 please keep them in a large tank with much more plants they will grow slowly. Next time try it.

@@SerendibAquatics thank you so much I will try next time.

I will try my best to find one site. Thank you

Yes they can. But in the early stages of life cycle.

Yes. They will breed in that temperature also. But when temperature is drop towards 18 celsius i saw marked increase of hatching rate. Now i keep my CPD in 29 celsius and when we compare to low temperature breeding capacity is drop when the temperature increase. In 24 celcius means average temperature. They will breed well. Thank you for sharering your knowledge.

@@SerendibAquatics so you recomend 19 or 24?

Yes as my experience best performance can achieve by keeping T in between 18 to 24. Colours intensity of adult's also increase at low temperature values.

Thank you.

Sure. They are living together in my tanks. But they will eat small shrimplets occationally.

Thank you.

@@SerendibAquatics Is it AI voice though?

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

They are platinum half beak. Very nice surface dwelling fish. They have Very unique sets of behaviours. I will update with full breeding guide. Now already i breed them.

Thank you.
