![ОРБАН приехал к ПУТИНУ и "отчитался" о поездке в Киев 😁 [Пародия]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_0ukDovOWq8/mqdefault.jpg)
Crazy to think that this was the video that started me on my CPD journey, ty LRB!!! 7 yrs later.
That’s awesome! ❤️
7 years later and this video is still useful to me. I just got my new 20 gallon long setup for mine a group of 10 and managed to capture some eggs! Hopefully all goes well as last time I had some issues with the eggs molding over. Going to be carefully watching these little guys
Usually the “molding” is from infertile eggs and or excess food.
Lucas, all I can say is You are the MAN ! Probably 1 of the best videos on breeding fish I have ever seen. Congrats, take a bow !
Thanks Russell! Much appreciated! : D
I started out with about 20 CPD a year ago, they were so tiny you couldn't even tell what they "really" were, some were sucked up when I cleaned the tank, some by the filter, some by "who knows what" and now I have a solid group and I keep adding breeding pair to a small little 20 Gal Tall and then throwing the eggs into this 10 gal I have in another room with nothing but CPD eggs and plants.. Now I have 7 males and 3 females and they have been spawning like crazy. I keep bringing them to my LFS and the guy keeps giving me credit. People are buying them faster than you would believe. I think I'm going to keep breeding them for a while because they're so beautiful, they are in such high demand and the LFS is giving me some serious credit because this fish is currently considered one of the most desirable fish. The LFS is charging $6 ea.
Thanks for making the video and sharing.
Thats awesome!
The best thing about this vid is the way Bretz says Danio!
Keep killin it Bretz.
Lol thanks
The production value of this was awesome. You are really doing great work. Thank you
Thanks I appreciate it! Your welcome : )
What a nice video! thank you for the patient and time you took to elaborate this video. I will get some of them for my display tank.
Thanks for the Info Lucas, Happy New Year brother!
Greatly enjoyed watching! very fascinating, and thank you for the time you invested in putting this video together for us to experience!
Your welcome, thank you!
I absolutely LOVED that footage of the breeding and the music was hilarious. I think I have CPD fry and wanted to see some to compare. Great video, thanks!
My favorite nano fish!! The name and the colors are just gorgeous. Can't believe you spawned them. They're so expensive around here. Thinking of getting some for the shrimp tank. Great video Lucas.
Thanks! I think they would do with shrimp. Def. one of my favs too. How much are they in your area?
L.R.Bretz's Aquatics I've seen 3 for $20 at one shop. $7 at another. It's expensive to get a school going. I have about 7 but I'd like to get more.
I have to pay 10.99$ for one!
Where I am, they're $30 each. I have 3 and am starting up breeding them so I can sell them cheaply to people (so they don't have to pay ridiculous amounts)
What a ridiculous prices! I breed them in small amounts here in the netherlands. Sell them for €2,50 Each. In store here they are About 4-5 euro's each...
As always Great video! Thank you
Great video! I found one CPD fry yesterday and this is the best video I’ve found on UA-cam regarding CPDs breeding! I’ll see if I can find any more fry on the glass or any eggs!
Great job on the Danios!
Thanks! Im excited about them. Just gone done collecting more eggs. Hope they keep it going. I need to get my bottom section of my rack done now. Good thing I hit up that $1 gal sale.
Thanks for a well documented video! I've had CPDs breed successfully in a community tank before (about 2 fry made it to adulthood), but it was all accidental... made me feel good that they like the tank enough to breed at least, but I'd like to do it on purpose some time.
They breed like crazy
Breed 100s closing up on 1000s from 3 females and 2 males after watching this. You really got me into celestials. :D
Thats awesome : )
Harika görüntüler. Emek harcamışsınız. Teşekkürler. Bu balığı üretmek isteyenlere cesaret verecek. Elinize sağlık.
very cool video! the different perspective was a great idea
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the perspectives : )
Cool. Love the fish.
Always learn something from you
just got 11 of these- set up 7 in 30L and 4 in fluval flora. Searched about breeding them and found your channel and subscribed- cool channel.
Awesome thanks for subbing!
great job Lucas!!!
Thanks!
great video man thank you
Best CPD mating ritual !!
Very informative.. ❤
Makin whoopee in the hay lol truly awesome Lucas
Lol thanks!
Love the intro!
Thats a great idea with the plastic cups, I'm going to have to give that a go.
Thanks It works pretty good
L.R.Bretz's Aquatics have you tried different methods? Of only with the cups? Just wondering what method Will have the Largest amount of fry produced
Very nice video indeed 🤗🤗🤗
The CPD is one of my fav. small fish. So beautiful!
Very beautfiul! I love them too! My son found them in a Petco in our area years ago and the employees didn't even know what they were to sell them. I had 3.....I have one lonely little guy know!!! Wish I could find them here! I've even been to 3 fish stores in my area!
That was a great video!
Thanks!
Thanks for the awesome video
Thabks LRB 💗
Amazing
Soooo pretty!
That they are!
great video thanks for sharing man !
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
nice video Lucas
Thanks! I may need to get some more plants from you sometime. I nuked the others with meds :/ for the fish.
Good job!
Thanks!
Very cool. Need to wait until my CPD get big enough to breed.
Thanks! Gonna have to check out your channel some more saw you have a planted reef tank that is cool!
Super vidéo. Merci. Je vais j'ai beaucoup aimé le la vidéo 😎 cool !
Merci d'avoir regardé!
So awesome
I thought so
I just ordered my first shipment of shrimp from you!
Awesome! Thanks for ordering and helping keep the tanks running!!
Awsome Bretz... I will have to try. this method with the the Danio Rerio...
Yeah might work for you...
I think so...
Like the 1.04 to 1.07 👍
Oops never mind! Just saw this video 😅 i hope to start breeding some soon
Mine took up to 4 or 5 days to hatch. My pH was around 8 and TDS just over 200. Temp ranged from 70-78 but was usually around 73-74. That might be why it took longer for them to hatch. I don't know what they are eating but I am feeding them 4 different things in hopes one of them works and the water does have microorganisms, so far so good with about 10 of them. The adult pair were laying their eggs in some dwarf hairgrass I let float on the surface in a stagnant corner. When I moved it, I noticed a few eggs fall out and got them with a pipette. They hatched in a bowl I had with the two fry I caught in the tank. I had to move them back to the main tank since the bowl was starting to build up some nitrites. I had to remove the parents, since they'll eventually eat every last one of their fry.
@1:05 LRB doing a Max Headroom lol
music at the beginning lowered my iq by 7 points before I was able to turn it off
It was one of my earlier vids.
Love these little guys, but so hard to find around here. Hope you get enough to put on your site!
I have heard that from quite a few people. Should hopefully have some on there in the next couple months. People are already trying to call dibs on them lol. I have 2 groups going now so I can deepen the gene pool and have lots available hopefully.
that was a great video about t how how how how you breed GALAXY danios
Only thing missing is the Tone Loc song playing in the background. 🎶💜🎶
Hello, do you leave light 24h/24 for the fry ?
When I heard this music I couldn't help myself and put on some latex purple thongs, smeared some glitter on my chest and danced with my cat. She busted out the window and haven't seen her since. Thanks alot. I think you owe me free shrimp. I can send a video of me dancing if you dont believe me.
lol
hey there my friend, fantastic informative video, thankyou.
I have CPDs breading and a few fry in a well established tank, the only problem I have is I have spotted some dots I assumed where eggs but after seeing your video I think they are too small, so i was wondering how big are the eggs?
The eggs are decent size, the eggs in the video was taking with my phone and not a microscope or macro lens.
do you feed them anything when theyre this small? i have some fry in a separate container(they would stick to the glass in the tank then they'd be gone the next few days, i assume the parents eventually ate them). so far ive tried to feed them fine egg yolk, but i dont know if theyre actually eating anything.
I use the Sera Micron food. Being planted and mature tanks that they are raised up in provides small microorganisms for them as well and if the fish dont eat the micro food than the small organism will which in turn makes a cycle of food that doesnt sit and rot. Usually you can tell if they arent eating because you will see food fungus up or root on the substrate but if you dont see that then you may have the same type of cycle that I mentioned above going on.
watched liked shared 🐠🚔
Awesome thanks AquariumCop especially for sharing it!
Just found two eggs and I'm so excited! God I suck. Two eggs ya I know but for me that's amazing!
Nice, congrats! I check about every other day when I want to actively breed them.
Thanks that's what I'll do. Hopefully I'll have half the fishroom you have one day. Thanks for the videos.
1:02 hahahahaha that cracked me up
Lol i should of ran that for at least 10 mins to see if anyone would think the vid or internet was broken but then alot of people would of just be annoyed so decided against it lol
You have hindered air after hatching. I was still airing the same way. is it a mistake? When you are not using a filter, do you change some water? Thanks
I keep the air line going. I also do water change as normal routine.
How long does it yake for cpd fry to grow to sellable size
I was curious, In the video you said you had used subwasser for spawning the CPDs. Is this correct, I have a lot of it and about to have a go at spawning. Cheers
Correct, I use that or moss or any other plants that a similar in structure.
I hope you start selling these in the spring
I hope so too! Plan on it.
What do you feed the fry I got a group from you at the GCCS and have fry !!!
0:36 what fish is that?
so, right now i have 14 cdps, and all the pale ones are getting chased around the tank by like 2-3 colorful ones each. are the females dropping eggs and the males are trying to eat them?
Possibly and more than likely.
Darn i forgot to fullscreen =(
I guess you will have to watch it again in fullscreen the way its meant to be lol
I love CPD's, the only thing I don't love about them is the price tag. $25 Australian dollars where I live.
I just subscribed Lucas.
Wow thats crazy! Thanks for subbing!
Lucas, I managed to find some CPD's for only $19.99 today here in Australia. lmao They little guys are so expensive!
CPD breeding is up next for me!
My CPDs are breeding at 300 TDS! I moved the adults and found 4 fry! I think the rest got eaten or isn’t surviving the harder water...
yay CPD babies
: )
Will they breed in hard water?
Hi i have fry in the glass, but hey do not want to swim and die. When do you start feeding? Thanks.
So the first day or two they stay on the glass, dont feed them yet until they are free swimming. I try to keep them in dirtier tanks that has microrganisms in it.
Thinking about trying this. Got a few questions. 1. How old must they be to start spawning? 2. Have you had success with keeping about 20 of them together and then they breed? 3. How can you tell when you should put them together and that they will breed?
They can breed at a fairly small size. I just keep 1 male and 2 females together and they breed all the time. You can keep 20 of them and pick your best one for breeding and you can tell male and female apart by size. Femals get plump with eggs.
What's this song that goes dink dink dink dink dink doop doop doop when they are breeding? I love it
Hey, LRB! I am trying to breed some CPD's and have a M and F in a tank. Though the male has done the little shimmy, he also aggressively chases her. What does this mean?
Thats all part of it, alot of fish breeding is males chasing females til they get them in the spot and she agrees.
L.R.Bretz's Aquatics wow just caught you on the congo live stream. You really are dedicated to your channel! Thanks for responding. If they dont find a spot they like, and he continues to chase her day and night, should I remove them and put them back in their community tank?
The love of the hobby keeps me dedicated to it and all the awesome people in the hobby. I would just keep a eye out to make sure she isnt to stressed. You can usually tell when females have eggs in there bellies or not and will be plump. They like to breed in mosses or fine plants bunched up. I dont think you really will need to move them our not. Maybe if you can find another female and that will increase your chances.
I don't have a way to set up another tank at this time, but I'm getting these guys next week and really want to try and breed them. Is there a way to catch the fry and put them in baby jail (a fry net) without hurting them? I think a turkey baster might work, but idk.
I wouldnt recommend putting them in a net baby jail but if you wanted to catch them and put them in another tank or setup I do have a video on how I catch baby fry just youtube search lrb catching baby fry.
Hello , what do you think about using a tank such as the betta trio to breed these I would use 2 chambers for the separated males and females then move the eggs to the third then finally put the adults back to a main tank and raise the fry separating by size until they could join the adults
Its possible maybe but very tight housing...
If i remember right on what the betta trio looks like...
L.R.Bretz's Aquatics I agree about the size I wish they made one with bigger chambers a diy tank might be my best bet
Great video! I have 5 CPDs and I believe they are all females. They all seem to be getting big and I'm hoping they are carrying eggs, and that they aren't sick. Do you know how long they carry their eggs for?
What size is this tank, as in what are the dimensions
Have you breed neons already???
great video.. i'm breeding these beauties as well at home! what I normally do is, put the breeding trio in a tank with loads of moss.. after a week I'll take out the parents and wait for fry.. this approach looks more simple. do you empty the plastic container daily? and what is the average amount of fry?
Thanks! The way you breed them is kinda how I breed my rainbowfish but wait 2-3 weeks because thats around the incubation time for rainbow fish eggs. But to get back to CPDs I have been emptying every other day since the incubation time of the eggs is around 48 hrs. Not really sure how many I dont really count I just know its plenty and now as shown in the video I am pulling fry and eggs.
L.R.Bretz's Aquatics thanks for the reply! I'll go try that!
how do i grow microorganisms in my aquarium good sir?
No filters, plants, and food. Less water changes.
What size aquariums are in that rack?
The CPD were and are being bred in 10gs
Your Blue Gularis blow my mind. Still waiting for some eggs to show up on your sales page! Just yours- no one elses will do. And I just realized Celestials breeding activity is identical to White Clouds. Is that an undergravel filter in your hatching tank?
I usually only sell the fish. If im going to go through and pick all the eggs I might as well raise them.
What fish species is it being shows at 0:40 ?
Hey man can you explain how to recognize the differences between male and female?
Which aquarium filter is that
Not sure I dont really use filters. The sponge filter is made by Haartz and I have yet to find it online.
Could these eggs hatch and develop in main tank? In a well planted tank with moss and no big fish.
Yes but usually the parents will predate but if enough coverage or the removal of the parents in a no filter setup as long as it isn’t very deep tank. Baby fish like shallow water especially cpd since they live in shallow waters in nature.
what temp are this tank ?
around 74-76
What type of water flow is ideal for this fish? Can they tolerate a high flow rate (5-10x)?
They dont really require flow, although Im sure they can handle it. Not sure how fast of a flow rate your talking but in the wild they dont really have any flow rate.
I have 15G with the filter generating a circulation rate of 150 GPH.
awesome video! can you tell me whats that fish on 0:38? thanks!
Blue Gularis Killifish
I have the same larvae in my tank.
Wonder what they are... Havent been harmful to anything so I havent bothered with them to much and the fish seem to love them.
My guppies eat them up. I have heard they were a form of a gnat but I haven't seen any parents. Just the swimming larvae.
Sounds like good fish food
Why does everytime my fry hatch it can't swim and just go at the bottom then the next morning it all died. I used aerator only, with no heater. What should I do.
Should the water be not too high for the newly hatch fry?
Correct its best to raise them in shallow water no higher than a 10g. They do not free swim when they are first born, they stick to the glass or bottom and sit there for a couple days til they are free swimming. Try not to feed them to much too. Thats why I like dirty tanks so they can naturally graze.
L.R.Bretz's Aquatics I put them in a cataffa juice with aeration.should I feed them now a little crashed egg yolk?
L.R.Bretz's Aquatics how many days should they be free swimming ?
So the fry will eat algae and microorganism at your algae cold water tank , nice ❤
I wouldn’t say it’s really cold water it’s mid ranged in the 70s
I see egg at my aquarium , i hope they hatching 🎉
7 days fry journey sir ❤
Do you think assassin snails would eat the eggs in the 48hour period? Or most would escape?
what is that at 0:41 ?
Blue Gularis Killifish, I have a few videos about them.
what are you feeding the fry?
Sera Micron Food
L.R.Bretz's Aquatics thanks! what kind of plant is in the container?
It has riccia and clado algae. I have been using subwassertang and giant fissidens as well.
The eggs dont neet methylene blue? Might get fungus?
No, never had a issue. Prolly cause they are planted tanks and have lots of microorganisms.
I asked my fish a lot of eggs, but the hatching rate is less than 5%, why is that, how to incubate the eggs? thank
Maybe infertile or the way you are handling the eggs. Put eggs in rainwater then when they hatch put in natural dirty environment
boiled egg yolk is great for CPD fry i give mine that
Just boil a egg and throw it in or you crush it up or what?
L.R.Bretz's Aquatics hard boil an egg, split it, and the yoke is good for all kinds of young stuff
I can't even find the Celestial Pearl Danios here in Kern County!, CA I love them. Had 3 and 2 passed after several years and now I have a lonely pearl danio! Do you sell them online? Thanks for sharing this!!!
Sorry to hear you cant find them where you are. I do sell them. Theres a bit of a wait list for them than my Patreons get first dibs then will announce on here.
I have been hoarding a bunch of them.
Can you add a link for your Patreons? I would love to be on your waiting list for Michelle Angel. May I ask how much you usually sell them for? I've actually been looking for them for at least 3 to 6 months. I would love to get them from you when available! Thank you Lucas!
How long does it take them to grow up to at least look more like their parents, juvies stage I guess is what I'm wondering
Im not really sure havent gotten that far. Im thinking a couple months.
