    Thanks for the update. Things are looking good, and ofcourse I was particularly interested in the Pygmy Corydoras.
    I did a bit of maintenance of my UNS 45U yesterday, and released the single juvenile (and previously sick) Pygmy into the wild.
    He/she bumbled about for a bit, but soon found his/her parents. I was slightly concerned about the number of adult Pygmys, because I only ever saw 4 or 5.
    Luckily, because I trimmed a lot of plants, all 8 of them (I knew I had lost 2 beforehand) soon started hovering like helicopters, together with the young one.
    I mentioned a 2nd juvenile earlier, but I guess that one didn't make it.
    This video gave me an idea to do a breeding attempt with them before I move them to a new home, later this year. Thanks again!

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  Рік тому +3

      You should definitely try breading them. They are so tiny and they just love being kept together in big numbers. I sold 20 of them yesterday and 10 will be sold next week.

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  Рік тому +1

      Yes I would assume all of that is going behind the scene at LFS but I am not sure if they are doing the breeding part. Unfortunately I don't have a LFS near me so I don't have a clue what happens there haha

      Funnily, Fish Room Tour videos seem to get a lot of views on UA-cam so I think you will do well. Maybe a master Breeder fish room tour title?

    wooow I'm inspired by this.... been wanting to do this breeding for profit for a while... it can help pay some of the tank hobby expenses lol... so I finally did it and I got three 10 gallon tanks but I'm limited to 3 tanks for now.
    currently i'm trying to decide what i should breed and sell since I have to be very selective because I only have 3 tanks to work with

    • @IMaqua

      @IMaqua lol true enough... any recommendations on what fishes i should breed with three 10gal tanks?

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  Рік тому +1

      Not much you can do with that aquarium size, maybe shrimps. Neocaridina. Every fish species I have changes 3 to 4 aquariums (containers) before I add it to the final adult aquarium (sellable size). You need to a lot of space, aquariums and most of all time for it to be profitable. If you wanna do it just as a hobby then it is fine; because you are in no rush to breed or sell. I will do a full fish room tour soon where I will show and talk about all the tanks.

    • @ToughTrainerK
      @ToughTrainerK Рік тому +1

      @IMaqua yeah neocaridina shrimp is one of the ideas I thought of... thought of doing blue dream, bloody mary and a cull tank
      I saw some of your videos seeing some tanks that are less than 10gals doing breeding. So I assumed those less than 10gals are just temporary growing out tanks until you move them to a bigger tank?... what is the final adult size aquarium ?

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  Рік тому +1

      I have different breeding aquariums. Ranging from 10, 7 and all the way down to 4 gallon tanks. They are only breeding tanks and I usually pull out the eggs and leave the parents in the breeding aquarium. After that I have small grow out containers plus Fluval hang on breeder boxes. When the fry is big enough I move them to a small fry grow out aquarium (7 gallon). I will explain everything in my fish room tour video where I will talk about all these things.
