When I was a kid we had a 200 gallon with mostly convict cichlids they bred like rabbits, but the would lay eggs in a cup and protect it
How about a top 10 fish in a bowl that would be real helpful
harsha vardhan 1 betta
2 betta 3 betta 4 betta 5 betta 6 betta 7 betta 8 betta 9 betta 10 betta that’s the top ten bowl fish make sure u buy a bigger bowl have one fish and change water every alternative days
U should put the fish name somewhere please I can’t spell their name
I’ve raised my platy fry from day one. I feel so proud. But I’ll have to give them up someday…
You should make a series where every vid you take one type of fish (guppies, bettas, swordfish...) and just break them down.
I agree with this person
Me 2
Yeah
@uWu wait... OH NO WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!!
Get this video done
Been breeding fish for nearly 50 years. Some other easy ones are the more common killifish , kribensis , and rainbows. Regarding shrimp , the easiest are the Neocaridina davidii (syn. heteropoda) types like cherry , blue velvet , etc. as they breed readily in normal aquarium water. Those in the genus Caridinia , like crystals , require specific water conditions created from RO water that is re-mineralized.
Actually , many fish are easy to get to spawn/breed. Raising the fry is the hard part. Many are very small and need infusoria to start off.
infusoria??
@@Blu3ni0000 yep a collective term including mainly single cell cilliates, prozoa, algae etc. like amoeba, paramecium, volvox
How about goldfish?

That ending though...🤣🤣🤣🤣
So I had to do some research cause all this time I thought endlers were guppies, when in fact, they are a specific species of poecelia like guppies. Interestingly enough, with the genus poecelia, is that they're all called mollies; with the exception of guppies & endlers. I'm guessing this explains why guppies can breed with mollies, but the resulting muppy or golly will be infertile.
Also, the family Poeciliidae, to which the genus poecelia belongs to, also includes sword tails & platties. I remember back in the 90s, a customer arguing with a Petland Discounts employee about the tank label reading "sword tail mollies" & that it should say sword tail platy. I'm guessing the customer was right...🤷🏾♂️
This is why I love this channel, I not only learn, but end up learning more because I'm prompted to research further....
Angel fish are so triangle shaped I think they should be called angle fish instead.
Lol haha
Lol
I think that was the original plan, but the guy who named them was dyslexic
skalare are called because they look like the mathematical skalar... dont knowe if they are related... im feom Germany 😅
ILLUMINATI FISH
Just became a fish mommy for the first time ever! I had two guppies that had NOT done a thing in over 6 months, i was convinced both were male at this point until a dew days ago there were BABIES! Just 8 but i cant handle more anyway. Havent lost any and cant wait to see them grow, it really is special!
They probably had babies every month but all the babies got eaten. Yeah, you kind of have to put the mother in a container where she can't eat her babies when they're born. With Endlers, you don't. They will eat 1 to 3 babies and get full and let the others live. Guppies tend to eat the WHOLE litter.
I just wanted to say thank you to John and Lisa. Their videos have helped me setup my first ever 65 gallon planted goldfish tank. Thanks to them I gained the necessary knowledge I needed to make it successful. The first few weeks the goldfish constantly dug up the plants but eventually they rooted deep into the sand. Again, thanks for everything!
I loved breeding my guppies until I had like 50 in a 10 gallon tank with no where else to put them. So I gave them to a lfs who was very grateful & gave me store credit which I used to get my filtration updated.
ajoyrod I didn’t intend to breed guppies... I started with 4... for a small tank... then I had 20 of them!!! 🤦🏼♀️ I ended up giving them away to people who wanted guppies for their tanks...
Thats what we do here, support our breeding projects with our breeding projects haha
I love how the Angel looks like it's nipping John's ear at 1:41 :)
I have baby bristlenose plecos, and balloon mollies and it is fun watching the babies grow up. I wasn't even trying to breed them.
I accidently "bred" my first single snail. She turned out hundreds (if not thousands) of baby snails that I didn't even know existed until long after she was gone. She died in some corner and I didn't know anything about snails; I still don't. She dissolved in her corner and left behind a shell. After changing tanks, I noticed that there were many snails living within the gravel. Before I knew about the baby snails, I was disappointed that the snail didn't last long; but she ended up contributing to the longest living legacy of the entire tank. That extra civilization under the rocks was a nice thing to think about while I watched the community and relaxed.
What kind of snail?
@@giftofthewild6665 , I was wrong; the Malaysian trumpet snails did not come from that snail, unrelated. It was just a Mystery snail.
I have a 40gal and omg these guppies are out of control!
There's a least 80 fry in this tank and I'm so excited to see them grow and also have some friends taking some.
Awesome video guys!
Anyone want some guppies
Mel Hernandez I want guppies
i want some!!
Hi can u send me guppies
ANGELFISH ARE AWESOME AND GETTING THEM TO SPAWN IS FAIRLY EZ BUT GETTING THE EGGS THE HATCH OUT CAN BE BE FRUSTRATING BUT WITH SOME PATIENCE SUCCESS IS INEVITABLE. GOOD STUFF J&L 😎👍
Here's the list -
1. Guppies
2. Angel fish
3. Endlers Livebearers
4. Shrimp
5. Platies
6. White Cloud Minnows
7. Danios
8. Mollies
9. mbunas
10 Peacocks
"Danios" - no specific species, just all of them
I didn't even think of breeding my little loves. They did that on their own 😍 x I'm a proud owner of 17 balloon mollies 🥰... x
every time I listen to John hosting, I can't resist myself from laughing.. I like his humor.. Lol... God bless and keep on throwing those helpful info upon us.
I would add N. multifaciatus to the list. These shellies are pretty easy to breed. Clean water, heat at 78, sponge filter, and some shells or PVC pipe for them to breed in. Bonus they are way more interesting to watch the family dynamic of the colony.
Same with Neolamprologus brichardi types and julies
African Cichlids are just the most fun to breed. Love your list. Thank you for all your great videos
I agree with raising them up ❤ i love bettas and being still a beginner it can be tricky, had a fry loss (not sure what happened) then had bigger fry trying to eat other fry anyways now I have 6 🥺 and they are so precious, everytime I walk by the tank, it makes me happy knowing it isn't a lot like others can achieve but ... they look beautiful and are growing with different colors. (Also plan on keeping them all lol)
Yes! Angels are fantastic. Can't get enough of them.
That last bit with bob made me laugh out loud in the lunch room at work. I got a lot of weird looks lol. Great video
I have to agree about angels being easy to breed. We bought 8 and ended up with a breeding pair. We were NOT expecting that. In fact we didn't really want breeding. Several batches of eggs laid on one of the canister filter's intakes inside the tank, then we noticed the parents moving the fry by mouth to one of the decorations. Never had any fry survive very long. We're going to watch your other video to see why we can do differently this time. We're starting the tank fresh and I've decided angel fish will be in there again.
I believe you have to give the fry baby sized food. I've not done angel fish yet but I have had to really crush up some fish food for my Endler babies.
This last is like "it's so magical knowing you raised this fish from fry" and I'm thinking what's the easiest thing to breed to keep my bass and catfish fed? 😂
Bass need to eat too, lol.
Guppies probably.
Corydoras are super easy, too. I got a few in in my guppy tank and have just about as many baby corydoras as I do baby guppies
How?
Awesome stuff as usual!! Love it
I am probably going to breed fish soon. This will be my first time and now I know which ones to breed
I used to breed guppies, goldfish and bettas and I know the feeling of getting attached to every little fish and how special they feel🤩
Hit like for the last 30 sec of this video! That was classic!!!! Loved it!!!!
I can get any fish to spawn by serenading them.
Ahahaha that footage was awesome ahahhahha
Lol
You do be jammin tho
I'm confused I'm new at this and I looked up what that meant so what you're saying is you sing for them😂
You both have a great professional dynamic I love it
Thanks... always fun and fascinating to watch your videos 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Awesome video KG Tropicals.👍
Ive a question could you do a video on the top 10 easiest fishes to raise from eggs or fry to adults.
Breeding fishes are mostly IMO the easy part but raising fry and necessary requirements for growth are the real challenge.
Thank you for sharing
My baby green swordtails and redtail Dalmatian platies have officially replaced their parents in my tank. I didn't realize how easy it was to breed them until I got them home. It's crazy, but a lot of fun! Mosquito fish are also very easy to breed, like guppies. I just wish that I had known that the mosquitoes were mosquitoes before I put them into my guppy tank. :( They killed all of my guppies and took over.
Thank u so much John & Lisa that was a very interesting video! I was keeping marine fish! I loved it but it used far too much electric so I'm trying to make up my mind what fish to keep! 😃👍
I accidentally bred platies. Didn’t know I HAD them till they were about an inch long;must’ve been hiding in the decor. There were ALOT in there! I kept a few but with a 10 gallon I didn’t have a lot more room. Sold them to my local pet store and made a good 30 or 40 bucks. 40 bucks more than I thought I would have! 🐠❤️🐠❤️
11:27 you said that with such a straight face. good for you hahah.
I love watching you two. You guys know alot about fish and aquariums. Have you guys ever thought about owning a tank or 2. Lol
I once bred bushnose and found them to be easy too - Problem is, I had to sacrifice them and their fryes some Echinodorus leaves... But if the plant is big enough, it can withstand the damage and recover.
I can remember my mum running in to tell me the goldfish in our pond we’re beating each other up but then I walked outside and saw them chasing the female around and she was terrified it was funny after I explained that that’s how they breed
Yeah goldfish are really rough when breeding, the female does get beaten up quite a lot.
LMBO 😂 Bob S. is too funny 😂
I always love how when John mentions angelfish it always makes him smile 😀😁
Ooh I’ve been waiting for something like this
I love the vids and talk about timing!!!! My Convicts just had babies.
Great video and tips guys. Do keep making great videos of the hobby. I got into hydroponics last year and saw tomato seeds develop into full fruit bearing plants. It is a unique and wonderful sight to see baby guppies grow up. 😀
Love the ten things videos. The ending was great go Bob
Great video and great information
Wow thanks guys.....I’m off to buy more tanks now lol
Im setting up a shrimp tank right now. Cant wait to have a bunch of baby shrimp
I just picked up 3 pairs of red swords. Cant wait to see what happens
I didn’t mean to breed them, but they do not disappoint.
"You're gonna look at them a little different knowing that you took care of them since birth"
@me to the guppy that was born the day I got my first guppies.
Hahahahaha the tribute to Bob was histerical
Hi ,agree with all you said about Guppies, but mine eat their own fry.Keep up the good work.
Great "Bonus" footage!!! lol
Top 10 videos are the best
Thanks
I accidentally got good at breeding goldfish...
Teach me how
How??
Slightly raise the water temperature by a few degrees
Geo Ragg r u for real? Like deadass?
@@kin7891 yes I have a tank 16 babies, and I gave 30 more to the local fish shop
Great easy to breed selections!
Love the ending
Lmao 🤣 bob at the end
One of the easiest fish to breed are the cory catfish. I had cories breed for me several times in a two-gallon bowl with no heater, filter, or lights. Furthermore. I rarely change the water.
Cories are like bettas they breathe air. But they are better suited to life in bowls than bettas because they can tolerate cooler temperatures, particularly the salt and pepper cories, which are the ones that breed in my bowls.
I have also found kribs to be easy. The easiest cichlids are generally thought to be first convict cichlids, and second kribs. My kribs have breed ten to fifteen times in ten gallons or less, once again no electrical equipment and only rare water changes. Once or twice they breed in a five-gallon tank. It is far easier to give kribs away than to give convicts away.
On the other hand, I knew a guy who had angelfish breed in a five-gallon tank. I do not think I ever tried to keep angelfish in less than a twenty, but they breed for him in five.
Go bob go that was awesome
Omg thanks
My experience with Guppies and Endlers the difference them is that in true Endlers are identical in color pattern, where as Guppy males vary in color pattern from one individual to the next.
I'm not sure if you have a video about this, but can you make a video on how clean your tank when you have babies in it.
Aww thanks
Black Convicts definitely should have been on this list.
I didn't know angelfish were easy to breed!? Ive been told they were hard but thanks for the advice
They aren't hard to breed once you have a pair. The reason people say they're hard to breed is just because you have a male and a female doesn't mean they'll pair up, so you usually have to get a juvenile group so that they can choose. The problem comes as when they mature they'll become aggressive to all other angels other than their partner, so you have to keep them all by themselves or with their chosen partner. You could just buy a proven breeding pair though, but they'll be more expensive.
Love your channel! New subscriber!
I'm surprised I didn't see convict cichlids on this list XD
this was informative thank you
Neolamporagous Multifasciatus!
Do mouthbrooders spit out the eggs/fry when they eat? Or do they just not eat for a few weeks while they take care of the babies?
They don't eat.
Bought 80 guppies last week. Hope they multiply 🐠 🐟
The fact that I can actually have true angel eggs is the deal sealer for me.
Awesome!
I always have great success with breeding my African Cichlids!
Great vidios
Mah what a grate channel
I'm surprised convicts cichlids weren't on the list
Same here! So easy!
I also found them to be much more prolific than livebearers.
Love the Convicts, feisty little thinks especially when their breeding
I have a 16 gallon, heavily planted tank with mollies and patties, about 11 altogether. Can I add a male and 2 females guppies to it? Or will the babies overtake the tank?
Cool video, I do have a question about white clouds though. I have a group of 8 in a ten gallon with live plants in the brown substrate with a piece of wood. I have a sponge filter cover on my side mounted cleaner. I also have a air stoneas well. I feed then flakes and dried blood worms, dried brine shrimp and tube worms in a regular rotation. My question is will this types of food sources be ok for just hatched babies? I also have another question about shrimp keeping. This tank I now have my clouds in was a tank I set up to be a shrimp tank only. Well, I bought about 30 cherry shrimp from 2 different online sellers and within about 2 weeks every one of them had died, starting with the larger ones first. I feed them the same rotation of foods as above plus the nano blue pressed tabs everyone seems to say they need for the extra calcium and minerals they need. I checked my Ph and hardness and they are within the parameters they needed. SO what went wrong? The tank had been set up for about a week before I got them. I used the filter gunk from my older established tank to help start and cycle the tank plus put a handful of snails in to get things going. What did I do wrong? Thanks for putting out some of the best videos on TH-cam about this hobby.
Shrimp need cycled substrate; ie, the tank has to be in function for at least 2 months.
Hi there with guppy’s if I only have one male and one female in one tank will it work
I bought some feeder guppies n kept them in a small pond to feed my fish i thought i feed all of them but 3 were escaped n with in a few weeks i saw 30 to 40 babies
I'm an aquarium technician and pretty much every tank I service with yellow labs has babies. People think I've done something special but really all I've done is keep the water clean.
Mollies,Guppy, Platis, swordtail dan endler's is the top 5
If you want to know more good easy fish. Look at any designer fish. Super red bristlenose and electric blue acara are examples. to get to those designer colors, they have to be easy to breed, or it will take way too long to do
I have a lot of luck with Sword Tails. Would you say they would be the 11th easiest to breed?
The ending!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Hello new to this page
I'm getting my new tank and fahaka puffer next week. Was meant to be getting puffer two weeks later but now it's same day. Want to cycle tank immediately and been told to use Api quick start and Api tap water conditioner. Then add him straight away. Would you say this is OK. I have other aquariums but always cycled naturally
What is the black and white vertical stripe fish with blue eyes in the guppy tank?
I was wondering that, I think it's a clown kilifish?
Sorry am late but love the video 🙂
I bought a ghost shrimp from PetSmart for 0.36 cents! To me that’s a steal
Mine have been alive for nearly a year and are so huge!
What about neon tetras fish . Are they easy to breed in groups?
My kennyi cichlids bred today in a 20 gallon tank
Nice!
It’s so true when you raise fish fry to adulthood to have a special connection with them. I had 8 mollies with one dying a few days ago on my 1 year anniversary of fish keeping who was a female. I now have 3 females and 4 males.
Get some more females or give one or two males away, aren't they harassing the females too much?
Theres too many males for the females. The males may have harassed her to death. You should have at least two females to every one male for live bearers.
guys i love your videos im 9 years old and i had a guppie but it died and then i saw your video and theve been alive for 5 years
Will black mollies mate with marble mollies and will Pilaties mate with a different color platy?
I got myself a male crow tail betta fish and 4 black phantom tetras in a 10gal
For me I think I just only have goodluck with mollies, every month they gave birth but luckily not all survives since some are maybe eaten away, some died for unkown reason and some died after having babies.
