Not here to bash on you, but my frys are growing rapidly and I haven't changed my water every other day. In fact, I let the water evaporate and slowly refill it up to a certain point as needed. From my experience, you should feed them 2 to 3 times a day and keep the temperature around 78°. Plants also help a lot along with high quality filters. Just saying. 😎
Agree, I’ve never done a water change on my outdoor mini pond. The rain takes care of keeping it topped off and with lots of plants, my water is crystal clear!
The only reason i don't change the water is because the parameters are fine! Why would i change out good developing water? I too wait until evaporation takes away a good amount of water.
Something interesting I found was having algea buildup all around the breeding box helped them grow really fast. Had two batches of endlers and the second batch born 3 weeks after the 1st grew double the size and had color before the first started showing. The first was in a planted breeder box with snails which kept the algea non existent and the second was with nothing except a ball of Montecarlo that ended up full of algea as well. They gre so rapidly that they were transfered into a tank before the 1st gen
I feed my fry the same food as my breeders but I crush it up with all the pent up anger I have and it turns into tiny fry food and powder which they love to nibble on and I had placed my algae infested plants in there so they have some greens to graze on.
The last trip is absolutely true with a doubt. I once hatched annual killifish into two different containers I had a available, one was 5 gallons the other was a very small container which I can’t remember the water volume it carried. The ones in the 5 gallon grew considerably bigger and reached a peak of 1.5 inches while the ones in the small container stayed minuscule at only 3/4 of an inch approximately. Same species btw. However I didn’t notice any difference in their lifespan as they both lived just under two years.
Can't confirm this but I always assumed it was based on the hormonal concentration in the water. This is true for goldfish, so I always believed it to apply to most fish. That's probably why frequent water changes help too
Well actually they've proven that fish will grow to their full potential if you are changing water out constantly just wanted to mention that. Its not the size of the aquarium necessarily its the water quality that stunts their growth.
Thank you for this information, I have a pair that laid about 100 eggs two weeks ago. It was the first spawn and they were great parents but all the babies died, I had no idea how to feed them and by the time I figured it out it was to late. Now a week and 1/2 later I now have around 500 wigglers I have everything set up now.
I had 9 baby goldfish fry and they ALL died and it was so sad but we found three lying around in the tank and they are currently doing good and look like they are healthy and growing so I’m happy we actually found more! :)
I was accidentally given a fry at a stores long with some ghost shrimp, and I’m doing my best. I don’t want the little guy to die, but I literally don’t know what the heck kind of fish it is... I’m thinking it’s a goldfish, but I can’t be sure.
@@diktat6558 It was a goldfish! A FANCY GOLDFISH. Now he’s in a big tank with plenty of room. His name is Kimchi ❤️ He’s probably the size of a Hershey Kiss. And he has a baby snail friend named Hershey haha
For those of you who raise fry that are too small for baby brine infusoria is a great live food for the first 1-2 weeks of life and is very easy to culture at home.
Do you have those fry in a separate plastic like box sitting within your tank? What are you using for water filtration for the box? I have my fry in a net box so the water is the same as the rest of the tank but it appears as if that not the same as your set up. Can you give any details on that? That would make a huge difference in how many water changes the box needs.
This is an old video but I must say I really liked tip number four. I think it has a lot to do with bigger tanks tend to be more stable and easier to care for.
Yes... and I read that fish produce hormones into the water and if there is a lot of them that will stunt their growth, that is why water changes are also so important.
thank you sooo much this is very helpful!! my ballon molly has been pregnant for a while now and i separated her into a second tank (3 weeks now). after going out, i came home at night and found fry swimming in the tank! i was soooo happy citrus had finally given birth :) around 20+ but i can’t count properly yet! sad i didn’t get to film the birth! love the tips 💜
I did the same thing to my Swordtail I separated her and in one day she gave birth to maybe about 15 fry her belly is still fat tho am wondering if she will give brith to more fry
Hi I don’t know if it happen to you but I did a water change and the day after they all had ick.-. And they all died I have 2 a live which I can’t fix with medicine because they are going to die because of the medicine
I'm saying this on every video where people make claims about how often to change water: Don't tell people how often to change their water. Tell them water cleanliness and quality are important for sure, but water changes are a bit contentious because you're throwing the baby out with the bath water, literally (the baby being anything beneficial). In a perfect world, we wouldn't need to do water changes, and in actual fact, you may not have to do them depending on how heavily planted your tank is, how many animals are in it, how big it is, how much and what type of filtration you have. There are other factors beyond that as well, such as how successfully you've set the stage for an ecosystem, lighting, etc.; but at any rate, Don't tell people how often they need to change water when you don't even know their situation.
@@akuma-_-4630 I can't tell you about every guppy out there, but mine are about that old and they're not coloring up yet. I wish they would so I can separate the males and females into different tanks so I can control their breeding.
This was the comment I was looking for! Wish more people would realize that water changes aren’t necessary if you have good water conditions. All my tanks are heavily planted with no co2 and I rarely have to do water changes, 1 being a over a year since I’ve changed the water, all I’ve done is topped it off every week, conditions have maintained pristine!
You said regular water changes about 20x but for some reason the girl at my local said do not change the water so frequently and use Prime instead. Not sure who is correct? I don't have an amoonia issue but a nitrite issue
Do you have a large tank? If the are fry you can use a hose without the suction tube on the end. And if the tank is smaller near the floor you can use a turkey baster if nothing else, but a cup works to take out small amounts into a bucket for changes. Another tip is use a small colander to pour the water onto your tank thru it to not splash up the bottom.
What i do sounds kind of dum but I take an airline tube and on one side I put the medicine thing that you can suck things up with and stick the tub over the small end and put the other end of the tub in the tank and you then can start a siphon without sucking up any babies except you do have to be a little careful for the first week or two because they are curious. Hope that makes sense!
Fry don't usually accept food for the first 24 hours, so I wouldn't worry if they don't eat before then. 👍 Ground up flakes, dried brine shrimp and blood worms are a great diet for them. I've raised fry on flakea alone and they have all thrived wonderfully. Good luck!
Great Video :) i would like to know how you keep your zucchini at the bottom dir your catfish ? My is always floating. And I would like to know how many percent of the water should i change when i do a water change ?
Even better, boil it for five minutes or until the white colour is greener and then drop it straight into a tuppaware box filled with ice cold water and after around 30 seconds they will start to sink!
Could you please get back to me on this question... I don’t keep my fry in holders in main tank as they are way too tiny when hatching. I breed celestial pearl danios (have approx 77 at 5 to 9 weeks old and just started collecting eggs for a new batch 2 weeks ago) and have just bred my sparkling gouramis. I harvested the CPD eggs out of their moss spawning dish and placed in a fry tank. With the gourami I placed 3 in a small tank they spawned once then a 2 days later spawned again adding more eggs to the newly hatched fry nest so there’s 2 batches a 2 days apart. I then removed the adults 7 days later and 2 weeks after that I removed fry into a specific fry tank. Im actually adding the new cpd eggs to the fry tank with SG fry already in as they’re still very small apart from 2 SG that were the alphas I assume n grew bigger quick. I find it really difficult figuring out how to water change often in young fry tanks as they fry often are near or on bottom of tank and so tiny they’ll get siphoned up. Apart from placing stocking over end of tube I don’t know how to do it so I tend to not do any water changes for week. “OR” I’ll try do one then have to search thru the dusty siphoned water to find any sucked up fry. Any tips for this? I’m in Perth. Great to see us aussies in the fish game. 💙🐟Lisa
Every fish is different but from my experience the fry tend to school up and stick to one side or the other. I siphon the side they aren't on until they get too nosy and come over, then give it a break and try again, eventually getting it all over time. The more important part is the water changes than getting all the debris out, gotta keep the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate low in the water. Just changing water will be helpful even if you can't get to everything on the bottom that needs to go.
what i recommend is getting some java moss and amazon frog bit. doesn't have to be frog bit but in my experience it grows a lot faster and has bigger roots than some other floaters. a good cheap light is the nicrew skyLED. for filtration i would use a small sponge filter. you should also be feeding 4-5 times a day. I've been doing it this way for a almost a year and my nitrates have never gone past 20 ppm and that was the first few weeks. even tho i feed a lot i still need to add a few pumps of easy green a week for the plants.the only reason i do water changes is when i get tired of looking and the detritus but i cant even remember the last time i did one. keep the temp 80-84 to keep them hungry and you should have matured fish in no time.
when you say water changes do you mean the water in the breeder box or the whole aquarium? i have fry in 2 breeder boxes hooked on a 30 long and do changes on the boxes but only do changes on the whole tank 20 percent once a week.
Hard to feed fish 3x a day working 14 hours. Lol. Overall great video though. Always feed my fry crushed flakes aswell as brine shrimp. They only get shrimp 2x a week though. Dont want to get them dependent on solely shrimp.
I'm getting up to do it at night.. doing 4x feedings every 24 hour period. 5pm, 8,12, 5am I do the cleaning and water change after the 5pm feeding each day. Might not be ideal but its working. I only work like 11 hours a day though so I have a 12 hour slot to do things. Boy are they ready to eat at 5pm when I get home though!
"Top videos, lots of good information! 🙏🏽 One question: in this case, if the maternity ward undergoes constant water changes, there's no need for further replacements, right?"
You mention about putting the fry in a larger tank, but your fry are in a breeding trap? I let my fry free swim and take their chances. I have floating plants which seem to work for me.
About the point about them growing faster with larger tanks, I think it has to do with the amount of material, like algae and other microorganisms that are present in a larger tank. Larger tank= more organisms to eat.
It is and isn't true at the same time. If the fish have to forage further for food it's possible for them to be "fed starving" where although they are eating, they are spending too much energy to get the food. A larger tank is easier to maintain water quality on, and yeah that and enough room won't stunt growth, but you have to be mindful when they are young that too much space isn't a good thing either just as too little space is bad. I like a 10 or 20 gallon for the first 30-60 days and then 55g for them after when the smaller tanks get too crowded.. it seems too keep the food in front of them with minimal effort until they are strong enough to really go looking for it at distances. The less calories they burn the faster they grow. Of you have live plants, likely you do have the microorganisms so there is that but a couple hundred baby angels will burn through them faster than they can reproduce. I also had luck with Hikari first bites my fry eat it from the start and growing well, and I supplement with flakes ground in a 25micron screen so they will be used to eating flakes when they are ready for that step.the downside though is their bellies don't turn orange like they do with baby brine shrimp, it's hard to tell if they are eating or not at first until you see them pooping and know for sure they are eating. So that's an advantage to the babybs. The hassle of making them all the time is the downside.
When do you start feeding them? When can you put the lights on? When to do water change? Is it after 7days not sure when this is supposed to be done for neon tetra
So all my fish dyed thanks to hail…in a Canadian summer…(I have a pond so) anyways I got a new batch of fish, and 6 fish turned into 200 within the rest of the summer, if you’re a newbie, I highly suggest guppies to breed.
What should I do if I didn’t know my fish spawned had to take the eggs up but when I did a lot of gross stuff got in the tank but they are so tiny so I can’t get the stuff out without sucking them up or the eggs
Just place the male and female guppies together and they will most certainly breed. My guppies in the community tank keeps breeding non stop so i always see the females getting pregnant
Big tank with live plants

Water change

This kid is sheltered n it shows, has no real idea of what he's talking about. Do some more research before you go giving inaccurate advice
Fish tank stunting growth is a myth and not true. as long as fish got clean water nd food, it will grow
Did you breed them in that container? That’s an interesting idea.
Frequent water change for fries will result to faster death and not faster growth .

I have 3 adult guppies in a 162L... That's it. My apologies, I skipped a water change. I think my filter can handle it.
Whatcha looking at?😂😂😂
"Top videos, lots of good information! 🙏🏽 One question: in this case, if the maternity ward undergoes constant water changes, there's no need for further replacements, right?"
You mention about putting the fry in a larger tank, but your fry are in a breeding trap? I let my fry free swim and take their chances. I have floating plants which seem to work for me.
Why do you look back so much
Instead of all this faster and faster , how about taking it easy and enjoy your fisk , there is no need for this gro faster
Kjeld Larsen If they don’t develop on time they will more than likely die.
Fry are much more time consuming then adult fish, not everyone has enough time to feed their fish like 3x a day lol
i've never changed water for all my aquariums since like a year ago and everything is super healthy haha
About the point about them growing faster with larger tanks, I think it has to do with the amount of material, like algae and other microorganisms that are present in a larger tank. Larger tank= more organisms to eat.
It is and isn't true at the same time. If the fish have to forage further for food it's possible for them to be "fed starving" where although they are eating, they are spending too much energy to get the food.
A larger tank is easier to maintain water quality on, and yeah that and enough room won't stunt growth, but you have to be mindful when they are young that too much space isn't a good thing either just as too little space is bad. I like a 10 or 20 gallon for the first 30-60 days and then 55g for them after when the smaller tanks get too crowded.. it seems too keep the food in front of them with minimal effort until they are strong enough to really go looking for it at distances. The less calories they burn the faster they grow. Of you have live plants, likely you do have the microorganisms so there is that but a couple hundred baby angels will burn through them faster than they can reproduce.
I also had luck with Hikari first bites my fry eat it from the start and growing well, and I supplement with flakes ground in a 25micron screen so they will be used to eating flakes when they are ready for that step.the downside though is their bellies don't turn orange like they do with baby brine shrimp, it's hard to tell if they are eating or not at first until you see them pooping and know for sure they are eating. So that's an advantage to the babybs. The hassle of making them all the time is the downside.
25% faster with water changes??? I’m guessing ur just saying shit lol. Please provide evidence or support such a significant claim
How to clean a fry tank?
I have 12 unexpected fry from a comet and a shubukin they're 4 days old now and are still holding onto the side and will not eat.. is this normal?
When do you start feeding them? When can you put the lights on? When to do water change? Is it after 7days not sure when this is supposed to be done for neon tetra
So all my fish dyed thanks to hail…in a Canadian summer…(I have a pond so) anyways I got a new batch of fish, and 6 fish turned into 200 within the rest of the summer, if you’re a newbie, I highly suggest guppies to breed.
What should I do if I didn’t know my fish spawned had to take the eggs up but when I did a lot of gross stuff got in the tank but they are so tiny so I can’t get the stuff out without sucking them up or the eggs
My molly fries are so tired ......what should i do?
No 🍟! Fry!
bro how to breed guppies bro 😶🤔
Just place the male and female guppies together and they will most certainly breed. My guppies in the community tank keeps breeding non stop so i always see the females getting pregnant
do he has the same mannerism like Gordon Ramsay when explaining in front of camera
Thanks for the tips.
I always give my fry a bath atleast one a week, it helps there conficence.
Is it true that good bacteria is yogurt, and is good for your fishtank
Not helpful
in a box breeder after the fry is born do you have to take the mother out? can you please answer me thank you love your video
Put the fries in a shallow tub for 15 days and feed them bbs. See their growth. then put them to a grow out tank
