- Hello everyone!
I Finally Successfully Got My Cardinal Tetra to Spawn!!
In this video, I will be showing you the detailed steps on how I successfully induced my cardinal tetra(also known as Paracheirodonaxelrodi) to spawn.
The video documents how I purchased new cardinal tetras and conditioned them in separate tanks. I also demonstrate how to differentiate between male and female cardinal tetras, and set up the breeding tank.
In addition, I used untreated water from a local stream, which had a pH of around 6.8-7 and a GH close to 0. I did not measure the TDS, but the water was neutral and soft. The temperature of the water was maintained between 25-28 degrees Celsius.
I also explain how I had to take measures to encourage spawning when the cardinal tetras did not spawn after two days, and successfully captured footage of them spawning.
Although I only managed to get 4 fry, considering that most of the fish were breeding for the first time and lacked experience, I believe the breeding process will be smoother in the future. Thank you for watching.
Additionally, I would like to correct a mistake in the video. When I mentioned "most of the fish",at 06:46 I actually meant most of my previous breeding attempts with the same species. Most of the cardinals from those attempts have since passed away.
Thank you for watching!

a breeding box, but it can effectively protect the eggs from their parents.)

大家好！
在这个视频中，我为大家展示我如何成功使宝莲灯鱼产卵的详细步骤。
视频里记录了我如何重新购买新的宝莲灯种鱼，然后进行分缸饲养。
如何简单区分宝莲灯鱼的公母。
然后就是繁殖缸的设置
另外我的繁殖用水是不含氯的本地小溪水。水的PH大概在6.8-7左右，GH大概接近于0。
对不起我没有测试TDS的工具，所以不知道这个数据，反正就是中性软水。温度没什么严格的要求只要25-28设施度之间就可以。
然后就是等待鱼的产卵，以及我等了2天后看它们还没用产卵，如何采取措施，使它们顺利产卵。并成功拍摄到他们产卵的footage。
虽然最后我只得到4只孵化的鱼苗，但鉴于大部分鱼都是第一次繁殖，他们经验不足。
相信在今后的繁殖过程中会更加顺利，谢谢大家的观看。
另外我想纠正视频中的一个错误，在06：46,中其实大部分的鱼之前都没有繁殖过，我指代
的是我之前的繁殖经历。大部分之前的鱼已经都往生了。
谢谢大家的观看！
Dear Bo:
Thank you for sharing your process, of breeding this, delicate species. It’s good to see you are making progress, as you perfect your method.
All my best,
Sincerely,
E. J. Brinegar
Hi Brinegar,
Thanks so much for checking out my video and leaving a supportive comment! I'm really excited to see that my breeding process is making progress and I'm constantly working to improve it.
Love these videos! Keep them coming! You maybe the only one on youtube with tetra breeding videos!
Thank you for your support and encouragement! I'm glad to hear that you enjoy my videos. I will definitely keep making more and sharing my knowledge and experiences with tetra breeding.
love your vids ;)
Thanks!!
well done :)
Thanks so much! So glad to get your comment!!
Nice video again Bo.
This is how it goes. Trying over and over, untill....l
Thank you for watching,Hans. Yes, persistence and patience are key when it comes to breeding fish.
Totally awesome you got those last two to work it out😀😀👍👍
Thank you 🤗
Super fun watching this tetra adventure, tetra breeder Bo the cl8se up king ❤😺respect
Thanks for watching and commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Happy fish keeping!
You are a professional, I sanma breed tetras so badly bro
Thanks, but I'm still far from being a professional. You can check out the rest of my videos to learn more about my experiences. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
@@bothetetrabreeder8734 I wanna breed emperor tetras, I have heard people have bred them successfully at 8ph but most tetra species breed at 6 or 5ph is it possible to breed a tetra species in neutral ph? where should I start from? What is the easiest tetra species to breed and raise
@@bothetetrabreeder8734are livefoods and waterchanges enough to condition them to spawn?
@@bothetetrabreeder8734
by the way, thank you so much for answering ❤️
Hi, I haven't personally kept or bred emperor tetras before. But given their relatively low market price and widespread availability in my country, I assume they should be fairly easy to breed. They don't strictly require lower pH water conditions for breeding. I suggest trying to set up a breeding tank with a few moss cups and checking those cups daily for eggs. This is a similar approach to how I breed CPDS, and it might work well for emperor tetras too. Good luck with your breeding project!
greatt bro❤
Thanks Bro! Have a nice day!
would you recommend doing 50% water changes every day and if not how often and what time should I be doing them?
Hi John, thank you for your question! While I don't personally do water changes to trigger spawning nowadays, it can be an effective method. If you decide to do a water change, I recommend doing it after the tetras have been in the breeding tank for at least 7 days. You don't have to do it every day. Normally, they should spawn the day after you make the water change. If they don't, you can put them back in the community tank and try again next time. Also, it's necessary to keep the experienced females in a separate tank dedicated to future breeding projects. Once they have successfully spawned for the first time, subsequent breeding attempts are typically smoother.
cardinal are like $5 each... I wanna learn how to try breeding this guys atleast once they so beautiful as a large group.
Haha, in my country, cardinal tetras are not that expensive. But I do agree that they are one of the most beautiful tetras. I appreciate your well wishes, and I hope you achieve success with your breeding soon!
Is that BBS you put in tank?
HI Russell, yes, that's baby brine shrimp. Thanks for watching!
Hey Bo, which city are you from exactly?
Hey Brian, thanks for your comment! Actually I'm from China.
They don’t need oxygen while breeding?
yes,actually they can live there for a month without changing the water.
These are neons not cardinals
no, these are cardinals...🤣
@@bothetetrabreeder8734 I have neon tetras and wild caught cardinal tetras. The ones you are breeding in the video are neon tetras. You have some cardinals in the main tank mixed in with the others.

breeders will often sell you a full batch of either male or female fish to discourage you from breeding. its a bad practice. best way to fight it is to buy smallest batches from multiple breeders. if you have 1 quarantine tank only then you can buy those batches over a time period.
Thanks for the insight! I agree that some breeders might use such tactics, which isn't ideal. Buying smaller batches from multiple breeders sounds like a smart approach.
