I find when breeding Plecos the Dad’s typically do a good job raising the fry. Not always, but most of the time. It makes it easier for you also. Congrats 🎉
I agree, leaving the eggs with the dads usually gives the best results. I've got my fingers crossed I have similar succes with my L397 group here in the UK.
They also have to learn how to be good parents. Sometimes it takes a few spawns, but their fry will actually know how to care for their offspring. Maybe you want a monopoly though haha 🤔
@@boddiesbuddy1380 My 8 397's are about 14 months in age.. I've had them now for 10 months... any advice on foods? I have many many wood options, they do semolina and algae tabs, come out for flakes, but I don't know if there is a best combination to make them 'ready.' Back when I did Bosmani Rainbow fish, simple frozen brine shrimp once a week and a water change 8 days later made them 'ready' but I've got no clue on these L397s. Bristlenoses were easy and often, so waiting to see but want to help them along so any words you might have are appreciated.
ADd to the tumblers some small catappa leaves. Boil them and let them cool discard the boiling water and ad the leaves to the tumbler. These leaves have amazing antifunga; properties, plus they make the water soft and slightly acidic, plus they promote aufwuchs growth great for otocinclus and plecoes.
Good video, with good content 👌 I'm a fan of plecos. You're right, the drop in temperature associated with the proximity of rain and storms helps to trigger spawns. It's like a simulation of the rainy season with a reduction in atmospheric pressure. Thanks for sharing 😄
I keep an app on my phone that watches the kili barometric pressure. Where I live 1014 is 'medium' and usually find it at 1020, but when a storm/rain comes thru it drops to 1008 and lower, making all my fish more active.
So awesome! I bet you were run off your feet! The whiptail fry are amazing! Names for your new betta: 1.Amaranth for the male, and Hyacinth for the female... Thanks again for taking the time! 😁
Congratz on the breedings! I have breed my Royal twiggs/whip tails multiple times. I leave the fry with the parents and have lots of anubias or Java Fern in the tank. For the fry to graze off of. I feed the tank new life spectrum grow and various types of algea wafers. The fry can't be moved around like plecos as they are quite fragile. I don't move them from the tank until they are atleast 5 cm. Good luck!
Dude no way your channel grew so much, I had been following since around 4,000subs on my previous account just recently have I found my way back to this channel and you’re almost at 100k 🤝
Great vid. Thanks! Note at 6:50 your greater than signs (>) are not in agreement with your statement "less than". Can you clarify which one is correct?
Nick, it’s definitely worth setting up a 20l tank that’s dedicated for egg tumblers. I have one and I keep it with the meth blue running and it makes a huge difference.
I recon as soon as you shaved the stash they didn't see you as a male bristlenose anymore and thought it was safe to breed hahahah JK. Good job bud going awesome, going to prob order some peppermints soon so hopefully you will have some availabile. Keep on keeping on
Great!!!! It look like my fish room 😉 : I have spawned L393, L201, L066, L340, Sturisomatichthys Panamense, Bettas, Pterophillum Scalare and Cory's (Venezuela Black, Orange, Panda, Adolfoi, Trilineatus)... And handmade pleco tubes 😊
Great video. Love seeing these updates and the progress. Have you considered putting all the egg tumblers in 1 tank so you can treat them all with anti-fungal in one go?
Sorry for off topic question. How big does the Peruvian Altums that you have grow up to be? Would you be able to make a video on them? Very keen to buy some from your website. Thanks in advance!
I remember when my L397 first bred, eggs basically twice the size of peppermint eggs, but half as many. I also found it a little harder to feed L397s, they seem a lot more picky/finicky than pepps.
@@thetwowheeledintrovert3367 occasionally cucumber, and watermelon. If they're big enough, some sinking protein pellets are good too, especially if they're breeding.
@@thetwowheeledintrovert3367 I sometimes sink cucumber with a fork, other times I'll boil it for a little while, then allow it to cool. It'll go soft and sink by itself, and seems to be easier for fry to eat then
hey i just want you to know that breeding dumbos is much more harder since of his long fins that will be harder to wrap thats why they usually breed a halfmoon female cross a dumbo hmpk male betta and you will get the babys you want but u can try just a heads up and keep his tank very pristene because they are so prone to fin ripping and they are very prone to fungus but other wise they look good
I like the mustache, but I think a goatee would be even better 😁❤️ That's not what I'm here today, I enjoy your incredible videos!! Congratulations on all your breeding projects!! It has been great following your journey !! Thank you so much for sharing!! I hope you're having a great day!!🙏❤️🌿🐟🌿💚
Keep it up dude I’m in the uk 🇬🇧 I love your videos currently breeding wild Oscar’s and black lines pike cichlids you look better without the tash btw happy breeding
im watching your vedio more now bro im not a breeder but i want to do it for hobby and i did't understand the equipment your using what is the egg hatching jar and how do you change temprature by individually or full room temprature
@@KeepingFishSimple problem being is I keep my tanks outdoors. So typically I keep them at 26-28 already. But with being summer it's never below about 27ish so I might just try some ice bricks
With your peppermint colonies what size tank do you have them in and in what ratio of males to females and how many do you have in a colony. I have peppermints myself but have only had 1 spawn from them awhile ago and thinking i may need to change something up. With your bredding tanks are they the standard 2 foot tanks or are the custom sized and are they custom lids or home made ones?
Hey man, just made a new acc with idea on sharing my knowledge on breeding tetras and other sort of egg scattering fish. Gonna be honest, i love what you do. Charismatic enough to where people like you, but not over the top like most youtubers. With pleasantries out the way, i would like to ask a serious question about conditioning fish, which i dont see a lot of people, or actually any place on the internet talking about. Live foods are the way to go, frozen are a good alternative, but what about places that are not in the US/canada that are harder to get their hands on live food? With corona stuff going on, here in serbia we only got access to grindal worms and micro worms from local hobbyist that kept their cultures going. So i started my research of alternative methods to conditioning, since getting some live / frozen food is ridiculously overpriced. Didnt find much, i'll tell you that... Any ides? Maybe even do a video on how you condition your fish since you have a decent size fish room, and those prices must stack up. Why conditioning is important? Well, for someone looking to make a few extra bucks on the side, you cant get far with selling 10-20 fish comparing to 200-500 per spawn. And wasting all the food, electricity and time on 10-20 fish is less than ideal. So if you could spend few hours daily raising fry, you would much rather want to get as much out of that as you possibly can, hence the conditioning part. Thanks for taking your time to read this long post, wish you all the best mate!
I need some important advice, I plan on buying guppies & kribensis cichlids. And breeding the both kinds (Not in the same aquariums dont worry) But are 2 aquariums 125 liters each enough for those 2 kinds to be in? (separated) So 2 aquariums with 125 liters each , Or do I need 2 aquariums with 200 liters. I rather have bigger aquariums than people say due so my fish can get the best life possible. But I feel 125 liter might be big enough.But thoughts?

I heard in Australia the price is overly high. Here in China L201 L270 L397 fries are about 3-4$ each about 5-6cm. I breed about 26 species and I really really wished I was staying in Australia. Will make lots of profit there

What do you feed your peppermints?
Any thoughts about breeding L190's?
Great job super happy for you. I'm a new to all this breading. I saw a video you done on neon Terra are you gonna try a bread them again?
Yes I will
great video, keep it up!
Great job mate keep up the good work 👍👍
Another awesome video! What do you feed your peppermint bristle nose ?
I’ll say in next video. Most veg matter but some protein when breeding
Just wondering what you've been feeding your l270s? I've been feeding a mix of micro pellets, carnivore wafers and frozen bloodworms/brine shrimp.
Sounds perfect, use rainwater and drop temp from 28/29 to 26
Also make sure your caves are tight enough
@@KeepingFishSimple problem being is I keep my tanks outdoors. So typically I keep them at 26-28 already. But with being summer it's never below about 27ish so I might just try some ice bricks

Have your hillstream loaches spawned? Mine I've had a lot if you'd like I can send you a picture on how it's set up.
Not yet
I uploaded a quick time-lapse of mine on my channel not the best angle but you can see all the fry and a little on how it's set up.

I was doing all my usual rounds on my tanks, and I found a lot of catfish eggs everywhere.
Great job bro..
Just ♥️
Thanks!!
With the L201 plecos are u also breeding shrimp or are just adult shrimp safe
What kind of fishes can i put in the same pleco tank?
May I know what was the rough size of ur L333s and L397s during spawning? Thanks!
