Dear Bo: It’s lovely to see that you are having terrific success breeding Hemigrammus erythrozonus. I do believe these are easier to breed than neon tetra (Paracheirodon innesi). Are the eggs of erythrozonus also photosensitive? Please advise. Thank you for sharing these, terrific close-ups of your, adorable fry and juveniles. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar
Hi Brinegar, Thank you for your kind words! Yes, breeding Hemigrammus erythrozonus can be somewhat easier than neon tetras.I'm glad you enjoyed the close-up shots of the fry and juveniles.
Dear Bo: I thought I had the process down, breeding Tanichthys albonubes. But, it didn’t work, for me, last time. I moved on, to Poecilia wingei. Wingei will breed, as long as both gendered adults are kept healthy. Currently, I’m trying to select breed a blue strain. Thank you, for all you do, for the FishFam Community. Sincerely, Brinegar
Amazing! Interesting to see their glowlight line to develop! As a side note, how do you condition your tetras for breeding & do you lower the ph to trigger their breeding?
Thanks for your comment! Sorry for my late reply. In my experience, most tetras, including Cardinal tetras, don't require acidic pH to spawn. To condition them better, you can separate males and females and provide a daily diet of live food. Some effective methods to trigger spawning include: 1) reducing lighting, 2) feeding live food, 3) performing water changes, and 4) lowering the pH (although this is demanding and often unnecessary for my bred tetras since they're not wild-caught).
Just wondering, how many Fry did you get in total? From what I have read, the fry are sensitive to light but I am a little skeptical of this! What do you think? Have you ever try breeding lemon tetras?
I've had two batches so far. The first one had fewer than 10, while the second was around 100-200 eggs, but sadly, less than a hundred of them survived. Regarding their sensitivity to light, I can't say for certain yet, but I've always kept them in a dark environment before they become free-swimming. As for lemon tetras, I haven't kept them myself, but judging by their market price, it does suggest they might not be the easiest to breed.
Beautiful! Feels amazing to see their life stages starting from their birth! Awesome work. 👍
They are! Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for the growth video Bo these are some great shots 😀😀👍👍
Glad you like them!
You are so talented!!!
Thanks!!!
I love your video!

Feeding guide from day 1 of free swimming ? From which day can they eat bbs
from day 5-6, it depends on temperature.
Pink?
sorry.
@@bothetetrabreeder8734 What color did they have?
@@acvaristicacudichis They have a red stripe.
