Right on! I should really set up a breeding tank for mine. I've got some just beluga sized females lol

[@thatonedog819]

Yes actually - tea is just tannin water. That's exactly where the flavor and color comes from. Tannins in the plant matter

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

Cheers from my fish room channel in Chicago, where I am a subscriber to yours! I really appreciated this video and your ingenuity building the spawning rig. i look forward to seeing an update assuming you do one :)

[@zodiak2461]

I want to try breeding my green neon tetras but I don't have soft water. My tap water is 7ph. I have a bunch of catappa leaves. Can I boil them to make tannin extract and use that to fill my tank? any tips and help are appreciated.

[@mexico_verde]

I love your videos 💚
I vote for seeing the reproduction of mosquito rasboras.
Greetings from Mexico 🙌✨

[@rz9888]

Thanks for the awesome video and inspiration. Have you tried breeding Chili Rasbora before?

[@AvatarAquatics]

Nope, I have them growing out now :)

[@ericng1503]

What are the water temperature and water parameters?

[@AvatarAquatics]

Soft water, 0 GH/KH, ~6 pH, temp is at 78-80F

[@theaquascapecorner]

congo tetras would be amazing, maybe branch out from tetras and do some anabantoids?

[@garywatson7714]

Nice video, how many fry did you end up with? I hope to breed my green neon tetras soon 😊

[@bipuldangol]

do congo tetras please

[@happymcslappy3640]

Mr helpful man! Wanna try do a full step by step rotifer acquisition, culture, feeding video?

[@michaelhair7828]

How long should the fry be in the spawning tank before moving to a grow out tank with "normal" tank water?

[@WildCastOutdoors]

I don’t recommend moving them until they are a few months old and able to join the adults. Make sure they are acclimated slowly

[@Ingoivalde]

Since they were in there a week, did you do any water changes in the breeding tank?

[@AvatarAquatics]

No, but if you have a larger breeding group of fish than me then you should clean the tank or add a filter for oxygenation.

[@happymcslappy3640]

SUBSCRIBED!!

[@pyroteamgelderland2380]

hey, could u give us an update on your green jade colony?

[@sujayc6864]

They don’t need oxygen?

[@guugleisinvadingmyprivacy2431]

Can you please do a video about breeding coelacanths? Sarcopterygians are sadly under-represented in the aquarium hobby.

[@kaden.slone04_biology]

I don't think he owns them sadly. They require large tanks.

[@PaulsFishroom]

You need to invest in an RO unit it makes producing clean soft water so easy.

[@AvatarAquatics]

that's on the shopping list :)

[@Venoms_Rage]

Chocolate Gourami

[@gonfreakz1393]

Iced tea is 100% tannin water hahaha

[@takeshitky253]

That collecting water isn’t very scientific…… so I’m moving on to different video
