Thank you for your support and encouragement! I'm glad to hear that you enjoy my videos. I will definitely keep making more and sharing my knowledge and experiences with tetra breeding.
Dear Bo: Thank you for sharing your process, of breeding this, delicate species. It’s good to see you are making progress, as you perfect your method. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar
Hi Brinegar, Thanks so much for checking out my video and leaving a supportive comment! I'm really excited to see that my breeding process is making progress and I'm constantly working to improve it.
Thanks, but I'm still far from being a professional. You can check out the rest of my videos to learn more about my experiences. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
@@bothetetrabreeder8734 I wanna breed emperor tetras, I have heard people have bred them successfully at 8ph but most tetra species breed at 6 or 5ph is it possible to breed a tetra species in neutral ph? where should I start from? What is the easiest tetra species to breed and raise
Hi, I haven't personally kept or bred emperor tetras before. But given their relatively low market price and widespread availability in my country, I assume they should be fairly easy to breed. They don't strictly require lower pH water conditions for breeding. I suggest trying to set up a breeding tank with a few moss cups and checking those cups daily for eggs. This is a similar approach to how I breed CPDS, and it might work well for emperor tetras too. Good luck with your breeding project!
Hi, sorry for the late reply. That's because I catch them to breed during the nighttime. All fish would look pale if they are kept in the dark for some time. And it's easier for us to sex them as we can see eggs in the female cardinal's belly
Hi John, thank you for your question! While I don't personally do water changes to trigger spawning nowadays, it can be an effective method. If you decide to do a water change, I recommend doing it after the tetras have been in the breeding tank for at least 7 days. You don't have to do it every day. Normally, they should spawn the day after you make the water change. If they don't, you can put them back in the community tank and try again next time. Also, it's necessary to keep the experienced females in a separate tank dedicated to future breeding projects. Once they have successfully spawned for the first time, subsequent breeding attempts are typically smoother.
Haha, in my country, cardinal tetras are not that expensive. But I do agree that they are one of the most beautiful tetras. I appreciate your well wishes, and I hope you achieve success with your breeding soon!
@@bothetetrabreeder8734 I have neon tetras and wild caught cardinal tetras. The ones you are breeding in the video are neon tetras. You have some cardinals in the main tank mixed in with the others. ua-cam.com/video/nPiDWxOZlnM/v-deo.htmlsi=bEeb4_-97wRTwdqv
breeders will often sell you a full batch of either male or female fish to discourage you from breeding. its a bad practice. best way to fight it is to buy smallest batches from multiple breeders. if you have 1 quarantine tank only then you can buy those batches over a time period.
Thanks for the insight! I agree that some breeders might use such tactics, which isn't ideal. Buying smaller batches from multiple breeders sounds like a smart approach.
Love these videos! Keep them coming! You maybe the only one on youtube with tetra breeding videos!

Is that BBS you put in tank?
HI Russell, yes, that's baby brine shrimp. Thanks for watching!
Hey Bo, which city are you from exactly?
Hey Brian, thanks for your comment! Actually I'm from China.
would you recommend doing 50% water changes every day and if not how often and what time should I be doing them?

yes,actually they can live there for a month without changing the water.
