Lowell sir , I don't have words to say but as a Fish keeper your channel and your work is not less than a gift for my life. From kid to now 19 year old always wanted and curios to see how fishes do in aquarium so through your hard and smart work I'm blessed to keep having interest in this beautiful hobby ❤ Hats off for your patience 👏🏻 🙌 It's worth it ! Much❤from india sir 🇮🇳
Your videos continue to impress! They're a masterclass in species profiling. Thank you for your efforts! There are many great fish content creators, but I don't think any of them are doing it like you. These videos are an immense resource.
Man you have become my favorite Fish breeder channel! The content is fantastic, can you do an overview of your breeding setup and your maintenance routines?
💯💯💯💯your videos are both satisfying and intriguing. Please, if you have time, upload more,but I understand if you can't,you are one of my favorite fish UA-camrs Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I LOVE your videos. Not in a wierd way, in a fishy nerd way 😅 But I have to confes, I've seen few of them multiple times... Please keep making them, and ofc, thanks for making them 🎉
I wonder if the non-predation extends to other species? I just received a group of praecox I wasn’t going to bother trying to breed due to not wanting to set up another tank, but maybe it’ll work anyways. Fascinating content, as always. Thanks for sharing your findings with us!
Hi thanks for the great video! I am planning on getting Melanotaenia Boesemani in my 30 gallon tank, and I was wondering if it is large enough for at least 4
Inspiring videos! Beautiful to see. A question: I have a 48 G (180 L) tank with 6 Panda Corydoras and was wondering whether they can live in 'peace' with a couple of Apistogramma? If they are fighting each other for territory it makes no sense and I can see the Panda's are quite curious. If yes? Which Apistogramma species would you recommend considering water quality etcetera. Thank you!
I would expect corydoras and some apistos to live comfortably together outside of territorial aggression from the apistos of they start breeding. That would be the case for any species
@@MakeMoreFish Yes, just hope the tank offers sufficient hiding space if apistos start breeding. The Panda Corydora's like relatiely low termperatures so maybe Apistogramma borelli are a good match or Apistogramma nijsseni? Will do some more reading. Thank you.
There is something that I have noticed, your bosemani rainbows have got that red factor or red hue to them whilst mine get more of the yellows with no reds, is it something with their quality or is it like your fish were selectively bred to have that red factor?
ive tried rainbows twice and for some reason it never worked out for me, my tap water should be "perfect" for them compared to some of the other fish i have kept but it just didnt go well
@@MakeMoreFish i have no idea, first time a group of 8 slowly all died out in the first 5ish months i had them then the second time was a group of 7 dwarf neons and all the males developed this growth/lump on their bodies... the lump was internal not external like ich and turned the whole area red i was never able to figure out what caused these growths no one i spoke to at a few LFS was able to tell me what they were and i was never able to get the lumps to go away but thru a cocktail of treatments was able to stop them from getting bigger and got the redness to go down a little, based on research and talking to ppl i assume it was a "tumor like growth" or a viral infection
@@MakeMoreFish sweet. I’m gonna breed the fish in a 10 gallon. Afterwards probs let the fry finish growing in a 20 after a couple of weeks in the 10. Is that kinda how you did it?
Your point about "first light spawners" made me laugh. People love to apply hard and fast rules to so much about fish keeping. There are no hard and fast rules, merely suggestions and observations. Also, I'd like to share a hot-take here: People who only keep males of a species because they are more "colorful" would do better to just have paintings or pictures of the fish. When there is clear sexual dimorphism, I like to think of it as getting two species of fish for the price of one (well, you still have to pay for them, but you get my drift). Not only will you get better colors out of those cherished males, you also get much better behaviors to observe. Case in point, my main display has a group of emperor tetras which have about the perfect sex ratio of 1 male to 2 females. Of course there is some chasing and bickering amongst the males, but the interaction with the females is super interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing your videos. They are truly a joy to watch and super informative.

Honestly you have the best fish content on UA-cam in my opinion and the best footage
💯
I have to agree. Clear, concise, helpful, beautifully shot and entertaining. Zero gimmicks. I love it here.
So true. There is just no one else posting this quality of informative content 😊

Thank you! I hope you get to have your own great experiences keeping fish
@@MakeMoreFish yes sir
There is no better fish keeping and breeding content on UA-cam than your videos

Your videos are both very informative and entertaining. Well done.
Also, thank you for the correct pronounciation of boesemani.
Sometimes knowledge is a curse. I'm going to breed apistogramma abacaxis just to make people's eyes twitch hearing the name
Best fish related channel on youtube, by far++
You seriously have the highest quality fish content on youtube. I can tell that there is a lot of thought put into each video.
I appreciate all your content. Always thorough and exceptionally informative
What a well done video! Videos like this make me think I should try my hands at some rainbow fish.
Nice job with both the informative video and the many hatches!
Awesome footage, Lowell! They are very pretty fish.
Love all your videos, thanks for sharing your experiences and expertise.

Very well done. You broke down several myths. Thank you.
Just lovely! Great footage and a lot of meaningful information!
Great video like always 😊 I'm breeding swordtails and guppies right now
I’m a simple man, I see a Lowell’s Fish Lab video and I say Hell Yeah
Again another great video. Thanks for sharing it.
Great video!
Nice job! I love Boesemani!
Ok I’m sold. Going getting some from my lfs today.
I LOVE your videos. Not in a wierd way, in a fishy nerd way 😅 But I have to confes, I've seen few of them multiple times... Please keep making them, and ofc, thanks for making them 🎉
Deal.
Prefect video, for a great fish to breed
Maybe try the zebra pleco next time?
Cuz your guides are all on point.
👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing video Lowell... Can you share what powdered fry food you fed the fry please?
Sure, that was new life spectrum's fry powder
Awesome! Have you considered trying garra flavatra by chance? I'd love to try them eventually but I have no idea where to really start.
I haven't, not yet anyway. If they aren't outlandishly hard to breed I might give it a try some day.
Beautiful! Are some of the fry coming to our August SAS auction by any chance? 😊
I expect so!

Did you ever breed congo tetra? If yes, please upload a video about congo tetras.
So im assuming if you have a pair in there own tank it should be really easy to breed them with starting them off on very fine powder foods
Very! As long as small foods are available the fry numbers are huge.
Hi thanks for the great video! I am planning on getting Melanotaenia Boesemani in my 30 gallon tank, and I was wondering if it is large enough for at least 4
In my opinion, yes. But my focus is on effective short term care, not multi-year housing
Great video. What camera are you using? I’m amazed the parents don’t eat the babies. Definitely not goldfish behavior.

have you've had any luck with chili rasboras yet? I've heard you talking about wanting to breed them.
I haven't had any for a while. They're back on the to do list
Could you make a forktail rainbowfish (the yellow one) video?
A whole fish room tour please
Yayyy another video 🎉

Wow again corydoras please please I'm waiting for it 🙏 😂

You should try breeding some vampire crabs it's so hard to get good info on those guys 😢. If anyone has a good source plzz suggest!
Could I grow out the rainbows in a 20 gallon?
I believe so. I did it in a 10 gallon

Do you know what location/strain these are?
Collection point was not specified, no
Rainbowfish look best on dark substrate.
I could see that
For some reason the like button is not letting me like the video. I tried several times
Comments are even better :)
First
But when I read comments it actually shows up last. Foiled!
