Hello Blake, what a super fantastic species profile!! A great video and reference guide to such a gorgeous fish!! Thanks for covering everything from the care to the breeding and your experience with them!! Loved it!!!! I hope you have an amazing day 🙏🌿🐟🌿💚
Excellent video. One of my fav videos from you to date, could sense the passion. I was lucky enough to get mine to breed last summer and hopefully grow my population even more this coming summer
Great video. I had no idea you had these as well. Aaron is breeding them too, but it’s slow going. We’ve lost 2 females so we are down to our last female (with 3 males) but he’s got about 10 fry and 15 eggs at the moment. So far they are spawning most days. Hopefully if we are both successful we can swap bloodlines one day.
If the Aaron you’re talking about is Aaron Khor, I’m about to buy 4 honey blue eyes off him. I’m absolutely looking to breed, so could you give me the do’s and don’t’s from your experience with them perhaps?
@@caelanharamis5660 That’s the one. Have a chat with Aaron when you pick them up. Don’t have any special tips other than we breed them the same as luminatus. 2 spawning mops, one sinking, one floating. Species/Breeding tank (although they do spawn in a community tank, but eggs get picked off). Don’t seem to care about special water parameters. If you checkout my channel, i have a video of our luminatus spawning
Awesome! I’ll check out that video (I think I watched it before when I was looking at breeding my 2 luminatus), and definitely will be asking some questions when I grab them.
An absolute dream fish. I was lucky enough to get a few from Dans Fish (USA), so really, really appreciate your insights andreallyI hope I can keep mine going. I haven't even added mops yet (1-2 weeks here) and already have one fry swimming around! Too many plants right now to see what else is going on, but fingers crossed!
Hi I am in the mid coast of NSW and really hoping to keep them in my frog pond. Costa from ABC suggested that I should have them in my outdoor pond. Little did I know they are impossible to find. I really need to get hold of some for my children’s generation and their education. They would be so important for our eco system. I hope you could direct me to some good places that would breed them. Thank you.
Best place is to join ANGFA and ANGFA NSW groups on facebook and ask in there for a local breeder 👍 Alternatively there are some now on allfish2u.com.au, a really reputable online fish seller
Always been fascinated by these fish. Really enjoyed watching this:)
Cheers mate

Thanks Mary 🙏 so glad you enjoyed. Have a great day
Here pseudomogil are so underrated.
Awesome care guide! love these little guys and blue-eyes are really growing on me! love the video Blake!
Hi Blake,can i keep them with 5cory catfish and 5mollys in a 240litre tank?love your videos.😊
I wouldnt keep them with mollies, the water parameters dont match up for the 2 species.
RAM conditions?
Think i am going to do species only tank since are hard to come by here in Mex.
Those are a lovely little fish Blake! I've never seen them around here
great info as always Blake. Keep up the great work
10K getting mighty close!!!
🤞 i know I cant wait! Organising something huge!
Love the little sayings Blake uses… “rare as hens teeth” - “fish jerky” 😂😂😂
Keep up the quality content man, 10K in no time🔥
thanks so much! yeah I used to filter out my Australianisms but I think I will make more of an effort to include them :D glad you enjoyed
@@BlakesAquatics No problem. Definitely, unfiltered Blake is the way to go👌😂
😆🤣🥰
Great stuff mate. Very pretty little fish.
Excellent video. One of my fav videos from you to date, could sense the passion. I was lucky enough to get mine to breed last summer and hopefully grow my population even more this coming summer
Thanks so much mate 🙌 i am checking the weather all the time to get them back out into their ponds 🤣
@willbarker1998 are u still breeding these fish? If so, do u sell any?

What size tanks do you use for breeding & raising, and which foods do you use for fry?

love your content
Thanks so much 🙌
Probably a dumb question. Are honey blue eyes and pacific blue eyes the same or different? And what fish can you keep with them? CPD's? 😊
Same family different species. Any small peaceful species. Cpds work well yep
Have you gotten them to color up like the ones in the thumbnail?
They do during the morning and when they are spawning. Rainbows and pseudomugils vary in colour a lot across a day.
lmao fish jerky. nice vid mate
Are these still illegal to buy/sell?
internationally yes but you can buy within australia just very rare. Illegal to catch and sell I believe.
It is almost impossible to get them here in europe. People have to breed them more. When they are extict in the wild they 're gone forever.
100%
First 😃
Consistent winner!
