Breeding and Raising Celestial Pearl Danios (CPD): My Journey So Far!
Вставка

- Hello everyone!
This is part 1 of my video documenting my attempt to breed and raise CPD (Celestial Pearl Danio)，also known as Galaxy Rasbora.
The video mainly showcases how I set up the breeding tank, waited for them to lay eggs, and collected the eggs.
Then I waited for them to hatch, grow, and finally fed them with a combination of egg yolk solution and baby brine shrimp (BBS). The video provides a detailed record of my 17-day journey in breeding CPD. However, this is only part 1 of the video, as currently, the fry are still very small and can barely consume finer-sized BBS. Moreover, on the last day, there was an issue with diseases, resulting in a high mortality rate among the fry. Therefore, whether they can be successfully raised to adulthood remains uncertain.
In general, breeding CPD is relatively easy as they lay eggs readily when provided with good food and a separate tank with suitable breeding medium, such as moss. The hatching rate is also decent. However, the challenge lies in raising them to adulthood. Unlike tetras, CPD fry have a longer hatching time, and their feeding behavior is not as aggressive as tetras, resulting in difficulty in feeding them finer-sized BBS. If we do not have an ample supply of infusoria or rotifers in the early stages, it can be challenging to raise them. I had to rely on egg yolk solution, which unfortunately led to the mortality of many fry later on.
I hope I can successfully raise them to adulthood.
Thank you for watching!
大家好！
这个是视频是我尝试繁殖并养大火翅金钻（也叫银河斑马）的part 1视频。
视频主要介绍了我如何设置繁殖缸，如何等待他们产卵并收卵。
然后等他们孵化，成长，到最后用蛋黄水+BBS喂养的经过。视频详细记录了
我17天繁殖CPD的历程。这只是part 1视频，因为现在它们还很小，只有
一半能勉强吃下细卵丰年虾，而且最后一天还经历了疾病问题，导致很多
夭折。因此能否顺利养大还是个未知数。
繁殖火翅金钻总得来说产卵很简单，只要喂它们好吃的，单独捞到一个稍微大一点的
鱼缸（尺寸60X30X30CM左右），放上繁殖媒介-莫斯水草，他们就能很容易产卵。
而且孵化率也很不错。
困难之处就是养大它们。他们和灯鱼很不一下，他们孵化时间比灯鱼长，鱼苗
平游后，虽然体型看起来比灯鱼还大，但是看他们温和的进食方式，不如灯鱼那么的有攻击性，导致我喂他们细卵 丰年虾他们都吃不下
所以如果我们前期没有草履虫或者轮虫的话，养大还是有点麻烦的。我只能用蛋黄水，导致后面夭折了许多小鱼。
希望我能顺利养大他们。
谢谢大家的观看！

Dear Bo:
I used boiled egg yolk, to feed fry, when I was in grade school. I found it to be a very tedious process, requiring numerous water-changes. I’ve had super-terrific success, with vinegar eels, as a first-food, for white cloud fry. I have a friend who is setting up micro-worm and infusoria cultures. I hope to begin using these foods, for smaller fry, in future.
I sincerely hope your fry are not diseased.
Thank you for sharing these, amazing shots, of your fantastic, breeding success.
All my best,
Sincerely,
E. J. Brinegar
Dear Brinegar, yes, feeding egg yolk to fry is a very tedious process, but it is pretty convenient to come by. I only wanted to feed them just before they are able to consume baby brine shrimp. CPDs are actually the first type of fry that I've fed which takes so many days before they can eat BBS. Sadly, all my diseased fry have passed away, but fortunately, the remaining ones are healthy and able to eat BBS now. I appreciate your well wishes for the health of my fry. Thank you for your kind words about the breeding success shots I shared.
I could kick myself for purchasing a fish, about which I was unsure. The blue Endler I bought, Saturday, swam with a bit of a wobbling motion. I knew better than to chance it, but purchased it, anyway. Today, I returned the fish, which passed, suddenly, Sunday, for a refund. I asked the Manager if he will get more Endler's and he said that he intends to do so. I hope he comes, with more "Japanese blue Endlers," as that specimen had terrific coloration.
Hi Brinegar, I'm so sorry to hear that! Was it the blue endler you showed in your last video? But he looks so lively and healthy, how did he just die
Yes, it was a blue Endler I purchased, at my, local Feeders Supply. I don't know why he expired, suddenly. Physically, I saw now issues, such as ich. However, since his swimming was a bit wobbly, I regret purchasing him. In future, I'll be more selective. The Manager at Feeders said he intends to stock Endler's, now. However, I do believe I'll stick with the stock I have, as they come from three sources and I have a few that are blue.
I love your breeding videos! Have you ever thought about breeding Glowlight Tetras?
Thanks for your comment! I have received a lot of suggestions about breeding Glowlight Tetras before, and I will definitely consider covering that topic in my future video. Thanks for your support and following
Great video we love these galaxies 💫💫😀😀👍👍
Thank you 🤗
LOVE DEM DANIOS!
nice close ups. they may have been eating on some micro fauna on the glass.
9:15 love the snail clean up crew
Thank you Madcat!
Thank you
Welcome!
Interesting video!! Very pretty fish too!!
Thank you very much!
Most awaited
Thanks for watching!
I am so tempted to attempt to breed fish now! I don't know if this is possible but there are some machines that you can use to pulverize spices, and some people use them to pulverize fish food, it makes them as fine as dust, would it be possible to use pulverized fish food to feed fish fry? Just a thought, thanks for sharing!
Hi Sergios.
Absolutely! Breeding fish can be a fascinating and rewarding hobby. I think egg yolk can just do the job, and that's only for the first few meals before the fry are able to eat BBS. Just remember, BBS is the best nano fish fry food, so as soon as they are able to eat them, we should feed them until they are adults. Thanks for your comment!
@@bothetetrabreeder8734 Understood, thanks Bo 😁
You're so welcome!
Can you please tell me the the water hardness, ph and temperature??. Thank you
Hi Kumar, I haven't tested the TDS of my water, but it is pretty soft. GH is around 2, pH is around 7, and the temperature is 26-28 ℃. Hope it is helpful.
very nice content, great! i have subscriped your channel and looking forward for more. thank you for share
Thank you for subbing!
