My favorite fish by far are any kind of plecos. I like koi too and have recent taken my endeavor with electric yellow cichlids. That’s actually quite successful because I unintentionally seem to have about 8 fry swimming around from the two that paired up. They’ve got personality. I want to get blue phantom plecos because they’re just gorgeous but they’re harder to keep alive at least when I was a beginner. I hope to be able to retain them in the future
The fish trade is alot different over there. The Farwello catfish at my local fish store are $9 for full grown ones. And the super red are worth alot more than the blue eyed here.
Prices in Australia are wildly different from the EU. Zebra plecos cost around £80-100 at 1-2inch and I purchased Dark knight rams at £28 each at my LFS.
@@thijsdemeyer9049 that's unfortunately why fish(and other) are so expensive here in aus.. we have very strict biodiversity (if that's the right word) import restrictions, very necessary to protect native species and habitats 👍
Wow here in Canada a pair of apistogramma is 50$ max, I paid 800$ for 7 zebra plecos at 1" in size from a local breeder, wild caught discus are 80$ each, my red lizard whiptails costed 20$ each, these are in canadian dollars
What a great video mate! I’m happy for ya, you can see how hard you work and how dedicated you are . You have so much interesting content coming out all the time. Get a nap. Great work!!!!
I can agree that a beer at the bar (here in Massachusetts usa,) is about $8-12. But I'm searching for some of these fish and if they are in stock and available, prices are about 10-15% less here. yes that is for adult fish, not just fry. Very interesting in the average price differences and especially fish availability.
when you first started selling fish did you actually have some like business number ecc. or did you just get into shops and ask if they were willing to buy your fish? how do you think someone could sell fish without having too much "legal trouble"? (I've been watching your videos for quite some time and I think they're really nice and informative so keep on going!!)
Mate!!! I am in love with that dark rams!!! Just perfect!!! Please let me know when you have more!! I am from Brisbane as well and would love to know your facility… if its possible! Your channel is really nice! I am learning a lot!!! Congrats!!!!!
So funny hearing the Australian prices I live outside Boston ma and last week a guy offered me 5 leopard frog plecos for $100 there was 2 males 3 females I thought it was too much lol
I always enjoy your knowledge and videos. You need to stop paying attention so much to what others think or say. Guess that comes with age. Have confidence in yourself. Love the videos. Keep up the great work.
Honestly just looked up “my top 10 most expensive” and found this video. Honestly just wanted to find someone talkings about something cool their interested in and I definitely found it
Whooow, I am really very surprised how expensive some fish are traded in Australia! In Germany, for example, L201 costs around € 30-40, larger animals around € 80, L046, € 60-100, L134, ~€ 60, Golden Longfin Ancistrus around € 10, normal colored animals around € 8. The "Black Rams" cost around € 10 per animal in Germany.
Holy Cow, Nick! I had no idea these Plecos were so expensive! I used to keep freshwater tropical fish on and off for a few years and my go-to fish were always German Blue Rams which I think you call Blue Black Rams from watching this video. Anyway, I hope you have a super secure lock on the door to your fish room and never disclose its location to anyone. I have to ask though, what are the little creatures on your shirt?
Wow fish are indeed expensive in Australia! You and Justin must be killing it in sales of the black celestial rams!! L134s we can get her 3-4cm $60 each in the u.s , great video thanks for the price comparison🙂👍🏻
The fish in Australia are wild. I live in Sydney and it’s hard to find any nice fish less than 20 dollars. Corydoras are also wildly priced here, sterbais are hard for under 30 and we have some species here that are over 100.
Hello, I have questions I’m new to the whole breeding fish thing. My question 🙋♂️ is can blue rams and gold rams mix and do you think that’s a good ideas 💡? I live in the states.
Yes, you can mix every ram (microgeophagus) colour. The question is why you wanted to do that. If it's just for the looks/to increase the colour pattern in your tank, I can totally relate to that. But if you think you'll be able to sell crazy looking fry, that's most likely a big no. If you mix different colour strains with each other, it's likely for the fry to look more like the wildtype again. And most wildtypes are more on the boring-looking end of the colour spectrum.
hey. as i see in the video you have difference types of plecos in the same tank. they dont mix together? i mean one L046 for example can breed with a L471 for example?
@@KeepingFishSimple Hang in, just had a closer look at mine. Mine are the same colour but the red goes down the side not up the top. What the hell do I have?
only driftwood should be used in tank or normal wood will also be fine?seller charge huge with tht drift wood name here in my area.nice video as always.
"Normal" wood is also fine. But you should make sure to treat the wood before placing it into your aquarium though. Most people tend to boil the wood they pick up in the forest or so to make sure that any bacteria/fungus etc gets destroyed.
Love the videos, the prices are big different from where i live L134 fry its like 20 euro L46 fry its 75 euro, adult 100 euro for male 150 - 200 for a adult female
(Question)I'm on the look out for a rare fish I can keep to spice up my fish room a little bit so if u could help me that would be great it's not a massive tank 90l and tropical water there are plants in there to its all set up its just needs a fish now thx for the help
Hi! I love your video's! And i have a question. I have cristal red shrimp and one just gave birth to baby's. Ik is mij first time having baby shrimp and i noticed that one of the baby's died. Is this normal? And how many of them servive?
Interesting...I'm in FL and have a beautiful blue eyed, lemon longfin bristlenose pleco, but he's getting aggressive with my corydoras collection. My friend who works at a lfs sent me a pic of a columbian zebra pleco and I'm trading him my lemon longfin for that on Monday. I know he'll have a great home, bit sad to see him go. He said he's gonna be the centerpiece fish for his 75g tank because his fins and body color are just absurdly perfect, so he's happy to get thllmy BN and I'm excited to learn more about Thomas columbian zebra pleco. This guy knows what's in my tank and he said I'm set up perfect already in my 55g, and I'll post a video on my channel once I get him, but there's videos of my lemon longfin on my channel now...he's just stunning ..imo lol
It’s crazy how some fish are so expensive in Australia but cheap in the USA but it’s the opposite with reptiles. In the USA it’s very hard to get Australian Water Dragons or Kimberley Rock monitors so they are very expensive here. Just is what it is. Great video.
Any chance you wll make a new video about how you made your Black Knight Rams? Looking back at your videos it looks like you bought 3 "normal" black ones. How did you manage to Get the pitch black ones?
@@KeepingFishSimple I've watched it but that seems to be 3 normal black rams and not the Dark Knight ones. How did you mange to get them that dark? Love the videos.
Dude put some plants or cover in with your discus I breed thousands you need cover floating wisteria Australia water fern both work well keep going cool video
Hey mate one of your Discus has bad case of Gill flukes have a close look you will see it yourself great video I'm glad I don't need to pay prices you do
L134 here in germany 10€ in retail. All fish in this list are way cheaper here. The dark knight ram is about 7 €. You should move to Europe. Dven with the import situation in Australia, those fish shouldn't be near that prices
Whow on the first four, i can get them for half the prize in euro's, the gold 29euro, gold longfin i don't know but the commen 20 at most, the royal 120 a piece?

Gotta say, your content is awesome. Makes me want to get a fish tank myself. Keep it up bro.
Thank you and I’m glad I inspired you
Get one bro!! You wont regret it!! Just got my first one not to long ago & i already want another tank lmaoo
@@mave734 yeah I might be getting one soon so I’m really pumped up for it. Who knows maybe I’ll try breeding guppies and stuff like that
I’ve got a fish tank without a fish yet(I’m getting a betta) and I all ready want another fish

yeah I live in The Netherlands and they are deffinetly not that expensive compared to Australia
Makes me want to start exporting them to Australia in some way or another. If that's in any way possible, it's certainly worth it...
@@thijsdemeyer9049 that's unfortunately why fish(and other) are so expensive here in aus.. we have very strict biodiversity (if that's the right word) import restrictions, very necessary to protect native species and habitats 👍
@@thijsdemeyer9049 you have to smuggle them, can't import legally.
Awesome video man! I LOVE those Dark Knight Rams. Keep up the great work man! Can't wait to see you breed ALL of these 10 fish! 👌

Your voice is so relaxing. Love your content. This is my hobby as well and it’s the best
You got 2 subscriber instantly cause you are so open concerning your fish breeding and business
i got a leopard pleco about a year ago for $94 and he’s my fav fish 🥲
Amazing video! I'd really enjoy breeding and selling fish in the states, and you're kind of an inspiration.
Thanks so much

My question was answered from the live stream! Sweet! Thank you :D
😉
So funny hearing the Australian prices I live outside Boston ma and last week a guy offered me 5 leopard frog plecos for $100 there was 2 males 3 females I thought it was too much lol
How do you line breed? I'm particularly interested in hearing how you line breed Blue Knight Rams
In South Australia atm zebra plecos cost $1200 and are pretty rare to come by
Boy I'm glad I don't live in Australia! I thought our US price of $350-400 for Zebra Plecos was high but OUCH! Those Dark Knight Rams are stunning.
In Russia L046 2,5-3 cm cost about 45-55 USD, Sturisoma Panamense 5-7 cm - 2,5-3 USD, L201 3,5-4 cm - 10-15 USD...
1:14 your dwarf neon rainbows look mighty
Thank you!
man prices in Australia are really high... but your fish choices are awesome. you should try breeding Dwarf gourami. or pearl gourami
I don’t like love to try those out
I would love lol
Spectacular black rams i've seen them from people that call themselves specialists but you got it going on
In Sweden we pay about 5 USD form apistogramma and all rams ink Boliviana 9 USD isch

I know about 10 stores, who sold l134 for 10 euro. Maybe it is a north german thing
Ye ik here in germany fish really are cheap like you said😢
It's almost not worth at all to breed fish in germany

Like holy crab everything here related to plecos are so expensive.

bro australia is wild. I got 3 juvenile L201 plecos for 25 euros from a local breeder. thats 275 euros less. Absolutely crazy
No frontosa on the list ?they are super expensive here in the us
Amazing that majority in the list are plecos
No surprise
What kind of plecos are those at 1:43 ?
one of the pleco shown in the tunnel looks like it had a fungus on it?
You can find only about 3 of all those fish in my country😅
Well done.
Bro, just check your Discus. They are breathing heavier than normal with gills sticking out. They may have some external parasites.
Have been treating them
In my country (Europe) Discus are A LOT cheaper but they are still kinda expensive and im not planning to have them cuz they cost too much for me.
Crazy prices. Here in Singapore we maybe pay around 10% of what you guys are paying?
Hi Nick I am after a good size male LF bristle nose .
A royal whiptail fish costs 2$ dollar's here in Ecuador. Lol
