Wow! You are a real professional fish farmer. It's a big job to raise baby fish and provide them with the proper food. Micro worms are raised from broken down cooked rice, right? I didn't see how the male fertilized the eggs. I know that both parents take care of the eggs.
I raise my Microworms in oatmeal. The male fertilizes the eggs by passing over them and releasing a cloud of milt. You can't see it, but it's there. I have a longer more detailed video about it that will give you a better view of how it works. ua-cam.com/video/txdMWsj0kfY/v-deo.html
@@TheDave333 Thank you. I would never reach this level of fish care and breeding. I can only have one aquarium at home, so my best option is to buy new fish from the store. Your videos are very informative and fascinating to watch.
You make some of the. Best fish videos! I had a pair of angels that laid eggs but somebody ate them by morning. I just purchased 4 more angels. They are such an elegant fish.❤
Unfortunately, I don't see them enough to be able to put together a whole video. But they're very similar in habits to bluegill. I have videos on bluegill. 🐠🦈🐟
I'm impressed by the quality of the video and the narration is great! These were always my favorite fish back in the late 60s and early 70s they seemed to be very popular.
@@TheDave333 Thank you very much! This is the first time I've heard from an expert say that doesn't trust activated carbon. Is there a reason for this? 😮 Is there something I should know?
Activated carbon leaves a very fine dust in the water that gets on everything. It can even affect the gills. Activated carbon can also remove beneficial trace elements from the water that the fish and the plants need to be healthy. It also loses its effectiveness very quickly and needs to be replaced often. There are a lot of unknown effects if its not used properly. There's more information about the potential problems online if you'd like to learn more.
i have a female koi angel in my tank , and one day , i saw her laying eggs on the driftwood , but the thing is , she doesnt have a partner , one male blue angel was with her while she was laying eggs and he is smaller than her , is it possible for a angel fish to lay eggs without a partner ?????
A great fish to have in the tank, I was surprised how large can grow in a large tank. It was 5 years old given from a friend and I had it several years after. A easy to talk to pet after a bad day at work! Feed it and it understands lol
Dave, you spoil your viewers with so amazing videos almost everyday 🤗! Very entertaining to watch fish development from egg to adult. What was first - egg or lady fish? This question is still unsolvable for centuries. Why you hatch them in separate aquarium? Isn't growing with parents more beneficial - microflora transmission, observing and learning from parents etc. I'm just asking.
Oh, here's the point. Let's hope they will stay in fully health (here they are veeery healthy). 🤔 for egg including life potential at least lady fish is needed before.....who earlier hatched from egg ! 😲. Egg first hmm.. well, unless we accept cosmic egg at very beginning 🧐🥚
The old saying is "which came first the chicken or the egg?" And the answer is always the egg came first... Here's why = The egg existed long before chickens evolved. Reptiles, amphibians, and fish were all laying eggs long before birds evolved. So, the egg came first. . . The chicken is relatively new on the scene. It was the early reptiles who first developed the calcareous egg with its hard outer shell. This type of egg was needed by the early reptiles who placed their eggs on land, rather than in water. The hard outer shell was needed in order to retain moisture during development. So, yes the egg came long before the arrival of chickens. 😁
@@TheDave333 It is difficult to disagree with your scientific arguments in the context of evolution. If we're talking about evolution of the egg shell , it's fine. Anyway egg is egg, calcified or not, bird or fish. What about the first egg? Today's science is afraid to dive deeper into nature of life, how it arises and functioning, without unnecessary prejudice. Following this trail, it may turn out that the egg is first as life essence. But let's not assume that such term must be always literally an egg, rather a symbol term for something including the real origin of life. Despite first impression that hen was first,after serious out of the box analysis egg was first 💡
@@TheDave333 I've asked AI today about egg and hen issue. It has answered similarly to you (evolution) but it not excluded another points of view considering different approach to subject and how deep we go. Everybody can be right, this topic is endless 🤣 Have a beautiful evening!
I’m on my 3rd attempt to raise fry and it’s going well 100%due to The Dave content!! but some of the fry are bigger and more developed finnage than the others - is this normal? And how can I tell if they are all growing at the correct rate? Like, how many centimeters should they be at 4 weeks? And do we start aging them at wriggler stage or? They started free swimming around Nov 14th 2024
@ianallen738 yes he does but he points to juveniles and I’m on day 25 if we count from wriggler stage. So many questions ! This hobby is my favorite as it is never boring
I'm happy that my videos have been helpful. Some fry will grow faster than others even when they're just a few days old. Some fish are just healthier than others. . . To increase the growth rate, change the water as often as possible. At least 50% twice per day. Keep the warm to increase their metabolism, let's say 82 degrees F. Super clean warm water is vital for rapid growth. Next comes food. The trick is to give them a near constant supply of high quality food, while not spoiling the water. And that brings us back to water changes and clean water. If you're doing all three of these things (clean water / warm water / healthy food) then their growth rate will be as fast as their genetics will allow. I don't have the data to give you the exact measurements for each time period, and even if I did there's so much variation that it wouldn't be very helpful. Aging the babies begins on the day they hatch.
@@TheDave333 a Million thanks to you dear Dave!!! This helps me SO much. I really trust your knowledge base and am so grateful you take the time to put out such quality content and reply to your fans. My kiddo and I watch all of your videos ❤️
@@TheDave333 Thanks for your reply, how old do you say they are? Ive kept a few angels, been to every single fish store in our city, and watch millions of youtube vidoes about fish, but i never seen a angelfish with nuchal humps, but now that I think about it, they are cichlids, just havent seen that on angelfish tho. I clicked on the video cuz my attention was vaught right away with your fish, exceptional!!!
Awesome video! I can't wait to go to Heaven and swim in Holy Water! Just curious, how many Angel's do you guesstimate there were at the end of 160 days?
Hello! Thanks for watching the video, and for taking the time to leave a comment. It's really hard to say because I don't keep track, but if I had to guess I'd say 10 or 15 % survive to adulthood.
@@TheDave333. I am thinking that the parent Angels are older than six months old. How old are the babies when they are old enough to spawn? I heard you say they start pairing up at about six months old. How long is their courtship process?
The parents that you saw in the video were a lot older than 6 months. I've had them for years. . . Generally, angelfish reach sexual maturity and start pairing up at around 6 months of age. And if a pair are housed together for a long time, then the courtship process only last a few days. But if they don't know each other it can last a week or more. Much depends on where they're going to lay the eggs and how much time they have to spend cleaning it first. Distractions such as other fish can also delay the process.
You film the best videos,thank you for what you do🐠
I agree 100%!!
Thank you so much! 😁

Hi 😊 Just a question. Why didn't you use activated carbon instead of doing water changes to remove the methylene blue? - Ramón
I don't trust activated carbon, so I never use it. I've also put the eggs into distilled water and used nothing for fungus, and it worked out fine.
@@TheDave333 Thank you very much! This is the first time I've heard from an expert say that doesn't trust activated carbon. Is there a reason for this? 😮 Is there something I should know?

🎉Thank you, I benefit a lot from you. Thank you very much.
I have a question, is table water good for hatching eggs?
I don't understand what you mean by table water. You can use distilled water, RO water, or water from the breeding tank.
Thanks a lot Dave. I am breeding angels since 1976 and still learning. Is there possibility to discuss some details?
Breeding angels since 1976. . . Wow! I didn't start till the 1990s . We could communicate via email.

Yes, it is possible. I've had single females lay eggs without a male present. It's probably time to find her a good partner.
A great fish to have in the tank, I was surprised how large can grow in a large tank. It was 5 years old given from a friend and I had it several years after. A easy to talk to pet after a bad day at work! Feed it and it understands lol

They are Philippine Blue Angelfish ( Pterophyllum scalare).

They're old fish. So they're very mature, and it takes time for the male to grow a big nuchal hump.
