Woohoo!! I finally have my first batch of longfinned Albino pleco babies in my tank that had not had any breedings. I took your advice, moved things around and bingo!! Thanks for the advice.
CONGRATS!
Sitting in my fishroom looking at 200+ longfin albinos right now as I'm watching you!
Are they for sale?
@@MichaelsFishRoom sold to a lfs in trade for 2 zebra plecos....hopefully a male and female. Just waiting for them to get a bit bigger.
"I'm not the news, you don't need to hear this from me." -- Best bloopers ever.
LOL...just speaking the truth.
O yeah Mike!! busting out the bloopers👍👍
SO MANY OF THEM!
I bought 5 bristle nose plecos babies as a impulse buy.
Never have I ever been so satisfied for how far I traveled for these guys.
Cost me a whole $5 CAD and $6.50 bus fair. 😀
LOL, glad you like them.
My word you are BRILLIANT! I never thought of using those plant things for caves! I have a couple boxes of them and it never crossed my mind! I do have several Cobalt caves but that space at the end might be great. I never thought of it!
Glad I could help!
Outtakes are hilarious!
They are my favorite part.
No outstanding nose hairs, good show sir, BRAVO!
Trimmed before filming 😘
Michael's Room 😆 Feeling inspired to now, but naw...we’re all under quarantined anyhow.
Thank you for the extra content Michael.
Thanks for watching!
Noice!! Checking out your channel from a recommendation! Great video!!
Thanks Thomas! Hope you subscribe’
Great video Thank you.
Bloopers great too lol. Literally was laughing out loud at 12 30 Monday night ha ha
Glad to see I'm not the only one who has multiple brain farts in a day sometimes.
We aren't in lock down yet but have gone to only essential businesses open, social distancing & only go out if you need to etc . They have not closed schools in our state just yet but asked if you can keep kids home, keep them home . My 2 are home from tomorrow onwards.
We have had kids home for a week now, as well as I have been working from home for a week.
I will be happy when we are passed this.
I love Bloopers.. The End........ ~;0) Great video as always. The only other thing you didn't touch on was sexing of the pleco's.
Thanks for watching.
As I started this video in joke I said “mike and his giant nose has a new video” (no hate of course just a little laugh) and the first thing I see is a great close up of your face! Love it! Hilarious and made me laugh. Keep up the great videos!
LOL....I mean it is on larger size, just like my..........BELLY!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the great video. Just getting started into plecos by accident. Have one male albino and two female albino and dark bristle nose. Found out they had bred when I was cleaning out tank inside a nice china made resin decoration. So have fry in 20L. Wasn’t expecting 50 fry when I went to take it out.
Congrats! LOL
What are you going to do with them?
Michael's Fish Room already talked to local fish store to sell there. Just started taking my angels over there when all this hit. So hopefully they will be ready for some more angels and possibly some plecos after this is all over with.
Thanks
Anytime bro.
The fry my guppies had about a week ago have gotten so big!!!
Great Job!
Good info. Bloopers are epic. Coffee and peanut butter toast with honey. 👍
Crunchy or smooth?
Michael's Fish Room I’m a creamy peanut butter guy.....
TM Aquatics to bad. I’m a honey roasted crunchy guy, but I think skippy stopped making it. 😢
I couldn’t find anything that didn’t cloud the water, until I tried Extreme Aquatic Foods “cat scrapers”! The fish go crazy over them and my water is clear as a bell! Thanks for sharing!
I will have to give it a try.
can you make a video about the albino or the glassbelly or the ribbon guppy genes
No, I am not that smart.
Nice work
Thanks
I have a feeling these bloopers were all for me. Lol Thanks Mike. :) I think the brain fart is a disease and it's spreading too as the last few days I'm having the same symptoms. Great video Mike. Really good info. Be safe. I'm headed off to work soon.
LOL, yeah, just for you!
Be safe and please take care of yourself!
Good job as need a few laughs right now😈☺
Anything I can do to help!
Hi Michael, I’m subscribed to your channel, and love your unique way of presenting then. 👍
That’s the niceties out the way. 😂😂😂
I’m new to bristlenose plecos, I’ve got one large male for sure, and 3 other bristlenose of which I’m pretty certain 1 is a female, I’ve watched your video on breeding them. My water temp is 79f the ph is 7, but could you please tell what are the best water conditions for me to try and get them to breed. 🤔
Much appreciated Michael, I’d be tickled pink to see them breed. 👍🏴
Really just a boy and girl, clean water, some caves, and good food. That is all I do.
@@MichaelsFishRoom
Much appreciated. 👍🏴
Looking forward to buying a female and placing my order for a cave! Great advice!
Awesome! Thank you!
I've seen your other channel an interesting branch out. I would like to challenge you to a cook and video off. How about Beef Wellington?
I don't do wellington.....Sorry.
The thing is everyone needs essentials,
When a sick person goes and buys essentials from the same place as healthy person is where problems occur.
*If your sick stay home.*
*If your showing flu like symptoms, stay home.*
If you need essentials and your sick ask someone close to you who is wearing a mask and gloves so they don't spread your germs to go and get these essentials.
It is advised you shop online. If Amazon doesn't have "it" doesn't mean you local big name distribution center (Walmart, Canadian Tire, etc.) doesn't.
Wash your hands, cough into your sleeve, follow the stuff we were taught in kindergarten.
Don't eat the playdough!
LOL....but playdough smells so good!
I got the wood! (and caves)
I completely forgot about your awesome caves!
24 comment i was sleeping you posted early
Late! I usually post at 10 AM EST!
Love it.
Thanks!
What is some great food choices for the fry?!
th-cam.com/video/33KM07qY8Ic/w-d-xo.html
Coconut shell for plecos a cheap and great driftwood alternative. 👍
They'll eat coconut too.
Really? I didn't know that!
Ryan StonedOnCanadianGaming I use the fake coconut shells, my convicts love it.. they sit at the entrance looking out into the aquarium.. each one has its own coconut condo
Hello Michael. What kind of insulation did you use for your fish room
Just the styrofoam board type. If I had to do it all over, I would insulate much better.
I have a super red, a calico and a green dragon
Nice
Please try bok choy. They love it and other then it being a little pricey it’s pretty cool
Pricey = not for me!
OMG! I forgot the wood! My lemon, blue eyed plecos bred. I had to move them out of the tank because the tank has killi fish in it. I totally forgot to add a piece of wood to their grow out tank. Going to get the wood now.
You're Welcome!
Great video!! At what size would you recommend is best to sell your plecos? Thank you for sharing!
The bigger they are, the more money you make from them!
At least 1.5 inch.
Thanks Mike :)
Hey Michael when will u have those purple guppies up on your website?
Maybe 4 months?
Love your pleco videos! Im in need of a super red male. Bought 3 last year and they all turned out to be female. Now I can't find anymore. I know you can't sex juveniles accurately, but do you have a link where I can buy a few from you and cross my fingers for a male? Thanks!
Www.michaelsfishroom.com I will try my best to find a boy!
Kje aquatics has some sweet pleco caves and are made in the us to look like logs!!
Yeah he does! I completely forgot about those, I suck!
Michael's Fish Room I didn’t know if you had seen them yet, keep up the great work!! Thank you for so much information! I share the same love for the 20 long tanks!!
I don't know if you are aware but a US gallon and a EU gallon aren't the same and most people in the Europe don't have any idea what one is as it was made illegal to use any thing other than the metric system when selling things a long time ago
Not my problem, but thanks.
Can they breed in a community tank?
Yup, but it depends on what is the tank if the eggs survive.
Northfin are pretty expensive for someone on a budget. Any other suggestions for a wafer? How about Kens?
Never tried Ken's. What about Extreme Cat Scratchers or Cobalt Shrimp and Veggie?
I am new to fish keeping I have a API freshwater testing kit what should the ammonia nitrite and nitrate levels be
0, 0, and you decide. Some people say 40PPM and under some say less.
I breed them for fun !!!! I’m trying to breed L333’s now - unsuccessfully😩😂💚🇬🇧
Good luck! I know my buddy TM Aquatics has bred them.
Michael's Fish Room I’ve been watching TM Aquatics for info 👍
Good info. I have one tank of red and albino longfin plecos and one tank of just albino longfins. The red male and albino female have bred several times and have had only brown longfins. The other tank has not bred at all. I have red females but they have not bred!
What is different?
Nothing that I am aware of. The red females are in with the red male, but he rathers the albinos. The other tank has both adult males and females. I will rearrange the tank and see what happens. Why do I only get brown longfins from the red male and the albino females?
Mine won't STOP breeding and I don't know what the heck to do with hundreds of little albino bristlenose plecs. Just noticed one of my males has a lady trapped in his cave. Again. I feed mine lots of things, but primarily Omega One Veggie Rounds.
Sell em!
Hav a question how do I breed bristle nose plecos? Asking for a friend.lol
LOL....I'm not telling!
I love you man 😎
I know
I have two chocolate bristlenose and have been struggling with breeding. One day I noticed nearly 30 babies all over the wall of my 20 gallon. Within 2 weeks, the babies dwindled one by one, til I was left with a single baby. It has continued to grow out in the same tank for the past 6 months. Since then, I've seen my male eject hatched eggs from the cave, but no babies.
I have cherry shrimp and endlers in there. Possible they are interfering with hatching? Could they have killed the babies?
I doubt it. Plecos are pretty good at protecting the eggs. What are you feeding the a babies?
@@MichaelsFishRoom on the first batch, I fed repashy super green, repashy morning wood, hikari algae wafers, and bug bites pleco formula. There haven't been any new visible babies since the first batch.
do you have the white bruselnose plecos there not the albino or the blue eyes but white like a paper
Nope, never heard of them. Are they ancistrus?
Omg, laughed my butt off @ "he makes sure the babies are confident so they can leave the cave". 😆😆😆
You can get the plant spikes on Amazon too.
LOL, I am glad someone picked up on that.
I put a link to the spike in the description.
I need to figure this out (say I as I need to get rid of about 1000 Super Reds)🤯🤗 I guess this was a rough video to make 😊
Hmmm. I need to get some plecos once the weather warms up in May.
How much?
Email me. thankstocalvary@aol.com
True that how much. Looking to get some for sure.
Not finding your title in google
He so funny
And handsome.
Can I breed shrimp and plecos in the same tank
I have never done it.
How do you tell the difference between a male and female?
Look up the skirt.
I breed loman drop ancistrus and I'm working on growing out 6 Rio tocantins ancistrus to breed
I'd be interested in buying some lemon drops.
Sent you a message on Facebook
How do you determine the sex of the fish
The females are always talking and the males are always not listening.
LOL
Males have bristles, or at least bigger ones.
Bloopers cough cough I’m fine you can buy the shirt love it
LOL....you should buy the shirt.
Michael's Fish Room I know I want one. no money right now 😢
what is your favourite strain of guppys from the ones that you have and those that you don't have or plan to???
My favorites are the mutts. I would like a great purple cobra in the fish room.
Sir most of the breeder told not to feed Carnivores diet for Pleco because they are herbivores is this right?? Pls reply
Most are omnivores. What kind of pleco?
@@MichaelsFishRoom Sir I have Bristlenose Pleco
Great info! How old do you think they are when they start breeding? I have 4 in separate tanks, 3 are pretty young a few months old, then I have one a bit older and I think it’s a male because I see whiskers growing, I would like to breed them, I do have a 20 long I’m going to set up, just curious if they are to you g
They are slow breeders, unlike guppies. They usually start breeding around a year.
GOOD LUCK!
How often should you do water changes during the breeding?
Too many other factors to say.
What are you feeding?
How much are you feeding?
How often are you feeding?
What is the filtration?
How often to you clean the filtration?
What size tank?
What are the inhabitants?
How much and how often are you changing now?
What are the water parameters?
This is just off the top of my head......
Can I have one please
Sure.
I wanted to sell. My mutt guppies to my local fish store and he told me 25 cents each he selles them for 2.50 or something like that I said can you trade he side no so the only way I can sell them is on offer up I sold like 7 or 10
Guppy boy woah $2.50 isn’t bad especially if they’re decent looking.
That's the issue. The LFS know's you have no other place to sell them. You have to figure he is buying pairs at about $1 a piece or so. Make a counter offer, $1 per pair in store credit. Or bring him your absolute best pair and tell him he you can sell these at $3 a pair easy so you want $1.50, then see if he will haggle.
Michael's Fish Room ok thank will do
Guppy boy good luck kid
LFS is a ripoff u rather sell online
Pleco
The female is always talking and the male is never listening.
OK, OK, do you mean Bristlenose pleco's?
My favorite fish named after a guy with a camera ( not so dumb) .
Stacked up a bunch of the water spikes and most of my Pleco’s prefer the back of the caves made by the back of the back points not meeting.
Outside the caves?
Michael's Fish Room the caves made by were the points don’t meet the seem to like that area. Picture the back of three the triangle,space in the middle.
Hot daddy man
Nice new intro
Lol...you like?
Very much
I think you should do a video, at least one, or you don’t pause or edit that you just have to work around your mistakes. 😂😂 and as part of that video you could answer comments to the haters. 😂😂
LOL....like a live stream!
Michael's Fish Room yeah like a lifestream but with a specific topic still. Lol sometimes the outtakes are the best part. 😂😂
Mike u need a script .. lol .. u didnt tell ppl how to tell the sexes
Lol...script, we don’t need no Stinkin script!
