  • How can you safely pair your fish?
    In this video I introduce a new pair. The male ends up rejecting the female so I switch to a new male and a bond is struck.
    I explain the behavior your seeing and go over what to look for in their interactions. I then leave tips and tricks to help this go smoothly and keep her safe.
    For those really intereted it is worth the whole watch.

      honestly, not really. his content is great, but its a niche, few hobbyists like to breed, and even fewer breed hybrids.

    Hey Dan, what do you recommend if my female is flaring and twitching, but my male chases her. Is that breeding behavior? The female is about a 2 1/2-3 inch RKM SRD and the male is a SRD 4 1/2-5 inches

    Do you frequently change water for start them to breed???

    • @Nemesis0513
      @Nemesis0513 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      More water changes are for keeping the eggs safe and preventing severe infections, but a mix of water changes, increased humidity (rain), heat, and protein(live shrimp, frozen meat chunks) all help with the breeding process.

    hey dude i plan on breeding a male red dragon and a female kamfa .My question is what if the female is more older than the male ? the female is about 5-5.5 inches right now about a year old and the male is about 4-5 inches thats only months old do you think they would still breed?

    • @Nemesis0513
      @Nemesis0513 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s fine, but the male needs some beefing up. Males are usually older and larger, but it’s possible for the female to be the bigger and older one. As long as the age difference isn’t more than a year or two.

    • @Nemesis0513
      @Nemesis0513 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Um, okay? It depends on the species, but the quality of the fish is a big factor.

    Do I wait for her tube to drop before I let them have a "play date"

    • @Nemesis0513
      @Nemesis0513 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rob, you don’t have to. In most cases, that is smarter, but some fish like convict parrots require some playtime. To be safe, let it drop first.

  • @tncsfishkeeping1088
    @tncsfishkeeping1088 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    and if the male is too small what can i do to speed a growth of a male? I've already tried fasting him then giving him a ton of meat protein stuff for two dayz

    • @yourfishkeeperfriend8884
      @yourfishkeeperfriend8884  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Aqua- John try feeding him alot and her not alot. Also keep them in seperate tanks. if hes interested in breeding he wont grow as fast
