    Great video. We’ve use foam boxes to breed bettas for over 20 years and if I may, I’d like to mention that water will eventually soak through the foam. We use non-toxic paint to layer the inside to help retain water. Good luck everyone!

    • @Rick-the-Swift
      @Rick-the-Swift 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi. Could you talk a bit more about the process of breeding the Danios? For instance, the KFS guy says that if you put them in a tank together when the females are plump, then the next day "at daylight" they will begin spawning. Yet it looks like he is using artificial lighting, and on top of that he places a lid over the foam box to keep them from jumping out. I don't recall him saying anything about using light timers if he is using artificial lights, or whether fluorescents or LEDSs are better. Do you feel the fish need to see natural sunlight to breed? Also, I never really hear the issue of inbreeding within any of the fish breeding videos, but can't help but think it would be very difficult to prevent. As fish buyers should we just assume that that type of thing is more or less going to occur within the hobby?
      I'd really like to hear your input on this if you have the time.

    I LOVE these "how to breed" videos so much. You really make these tutorials actually simple (who would've said on a channel named like this) compared to other breeders who overcomplicate things or make them less easy to understand sometimes. Please don't ever stop doing these. Unless you of course run out of fish haha. Next time I'd like to see some more tricky egg scatterers, barbs or rasboras for example. I'm exactly that type of guy you mentioned - I always only ever bred livebearers and only now thanks to you I'm trying to get into egg laying fish!

I'm hoping to get some zebra danios in a few weeks, alongside gold ring and pearl (Albolineatus) danios, and this video should really help me when it comes time to try breeding them.

    Fyi, when you do a full mix of longfin and gold, your going to get some fry that are going to be gold x gold and longfin x longfin. So when you look at these results keep in mind you will have an unknown percentage of normal gold and longfin fish. Next time, for a true mix I would put males of all one type with females of all one type. So all female gold with all male longfin. Great video, I had a good time!

  • @DepressedApe

    The egg yolk is a great food in a hurry. However it can pollute the water if over used. I've found a couple small pond snails can help with anything that settles to the bottom. I used it the first time raising a surprise batch of pearl danio. Great step by step video filled with information. Keep up the good work.
