Using frozen blood worms works great for parents as a little cube thaws, it drops worms and gets eaten falling. They love it. Btw a great companion fish if not breeding in bumble gobies and ghost shrimp to eat any uneaten worms on bottom. I’ve done this and never had compatibility issues, even with shrimp.
My order of Bug Buffet finally arrived today!! Placed my order on 27 Oct and it landed 15 Nov: Australia to Texas in 19 days! Probably going to need to break this giant bag down into more manageable portions - 900 grams is significantly more than I thought 😅😬
My 4 are breeding like crazy too! Doing a similar thing to you except I take the eggs out and place into a ziss breeding box. Helps a lot with the losses. Great video Nick, thank you for the pea appreciation. Love my puffers ❤
I absolutely love your videos. You have so much knowledge at a young age! 2 questions for you. 1. What material is the String yarn mop stuff? Lol 2. The worms you used to feed are blackworms?
Good afternoon and good mood! Please tell me which water parameters are the best for breeding Carinotetraodon travancoricus. Thank you and good luck to you. I am watching your video with great pleasure!
I’d love to have these but am very disabled and can’t go out and get them live prey. They are really adorable! From what I’ve seen they are also personable and quite smart.
Love your videos ❤ love your work and am a big big fan .. 😊 loads of wishes from India .. Please could you make a video of how to setup a simple fish room . For new breeders/hobbyists.. easy water changing systems and how to set up a neat air pump and the optimum piping and the likes . I have just started to breed guppies and am facing so many challenges with just 4 tanks ..
I have a 10gal specifically for pest snail breeding, i just throw a net full in and they seem to chunk up a lot in about a week and then I'll separate and breed them
what temperature should these have and when they have laid eggs what temp should the eggs be at in the water and do any water changes need to be done where the eggs are?
Thanks for this great video! I've been doing pretty good with eggs, but the fry dies on me. Is it better to move them into a seperate tank or use some breeding box floating in the same tank? Ive been trying the 2nd, they died after a few days.
Awsome .....maybe it's just me but u uphold the one thing that's had me fish keeping for 30 years this peaceful patient vibe u have ....fishkeeping has always relaxed me n kept my anxiety down ....never lose that
Your videos are great thanks. I have 5 and get 2 to 3 eggs every couple of days. My problem is that I cant get them to hatch. I put the eggs in a hang on breeder box with water temp at 27. They develop in the egg but never hatch. Do you have any suggestions for me? I saw in one of your previous videos that you were keeping the temp higher.
Hey, I was wondering what your thoughts are about putting some pea puffers in a community tank? I was thinking 4 females with some Cory’s, neons and a female Brislenose pleco. The tank is 210 liters.
Can I ask something do the pea puffers eat snail in your tank or just worms and bug Buffy I just want to now it. Also I love your videos 💙 I hope you can replay thank you
Already are, Last year they were $200 each roughly. Getting to around $66 each in shops now and private breeders even cheaper. Soon it will be the same as the rest of the world where they are only a few $ each
I have 2 pairs. The older pair, after throwing some snails, started showing mating behavior. They are too young in my opinion but it's still cool to watch.
I have 3 pea puffers in a 15 gallon tank, I keep the water temperature at 77, and I have both floating and planted plants and my pea puffers are breeding. I was actually hoping they would not but here I am.
Great videos bud.... I am however concerned for the power lead hanging over the tank!!! Be very careful showing stuff like this in the background as these days inspectors use any source to catch people out including media. On a brighter note keep up the good work and make sure you have as a minimal safety switch installed. ;-)
Depends on your tankmates. Ideally, fast moving and peaceful tankmates are best. Avoid long finned fishes like bettas as peas have been known to nip at their fins. With that being said, most pea keepers agree that a species only tank is the best option.
See is was told not to leave the food in the tank because they will eat till the burst n die….?? Anyone know how true that is or how often that happens?
i have good news i managed to breed my white clouds i will start selling them next year maybe i am only 13 ya so i will not spam you with the question on how to breed white cloud mountin minnow.
Put methylene blue in your hatching tanks for better hatch rate. Put more males, like 6 males to 4 females ratio for better fertile egg rate. Change that "spawning mop" to palm fiber to reduce risk of damaging the eggs.
Oof massive oversight. You are sooo right. He needs to do a parameters video.. parameters are typically negligible I find though.. some are pickier than others, but I think temp plays more of a role than say PH/GH/KH. Of course I’ve only bred cherry shrimps and cpds and rock hard city two water treated with prime and PH down 😂
Just got my first pea puffer last week. Also just met Cory from Aquarium-Coop today. Side story.... Ty for all the inspiration from your vids.
Our LFS in Ohio had a fahaka for 30$ lmao healthy as could be. So sad I didnt have space for him :(
I just got my first pea puffer a few days ago.
I live in southern india, this is a native bread here. Its awesome to sea them swim in rivers in Large groups.
i got into the hobby because of your videos, thank you
Loving all the pea puffer breeding content. I have a group and are also trying to breed them. Thank you for sharing your tips!
Are you having any luck?
0:54 the cutest thing. 😊

You must have been in my head when I was thinking yesterday that i wanted to try breeding some pea puffers again.
Great video Nick. Great to meet you on the weekend. The Luminatus are going great ❤

Great video Nick, thank you for the pea appreciation. Love my puffers ❤
How long do you keep them there? What do you feed them at first and when do you move them to a growing tank?? Sorry, thats a lot of questions 😅
I absolutely love your videos. You have so much knowledge at a young age!
2 questions for you.
1. What material is the String yarn mop stuff? Lol
2. The worms you used to feed are blackworms?
Please can you do a video on chilli rasboras. From breeding to raising fry
Great video Nick! They are cool little fish in the flesh 🙂
Good afternoon and good mood!
Please tell me which water parameters are the best for breeding Carinotetraodon travancoricus. Thank you and good luck to you. I am watching your video with great pleasure!
I’d love to have these but am very disabled and can’t go out and get them live prey. They are really adorable! From what I’ve seen they are also personable and quite smart.
Plenty of people sell ramshorn snails online and you can set up a small breeding tank and basically have unlimited live food for your puffers.
Tengo problemas con mis peces globos figuras 8, se le come las aletas a los otros peces del acuario !!! Que puedo hacer??????
Love your videos ❤ love your work and am a big big fan .. 😊 loads of wishes from India ..

Pea puffers are the cutest
Great video Nick as always when are we going to see the baby zebra pleco video?
The adults don't eat cherry shrimp?
Interesting video! Way better than the vlogs in my opinion
Such killer footage!! ❤ thanks for sharing. They make me smile. You made me laugh.

Peas are so cute!
So helpful. Thanks Nick!!!😊
Do you cultivate and grow out the black worms yourself?
Thanks for this great video!
I've been doing pretty good with eggs, but the fry dies on me. Is it better to move them into a seperate tank or use some breeding box floating in the same tank? Ive been trying the 2nd, they died after a few days.
Smaller spawning container might see more fertilised eggs?
Awsome .....maybe it's just me but u uphold the one thing that's had me fish keeping for 30 years this peaceful patient vibe u have ....fishkeeping has always relaxed me n kept my anxiety down ....never lose that
Great work 👍 I never knew the peas can be that big 😮
Your videos are great thanks. I have 5 and get 2 to 3 eggs every couple of days. My problem is that I cant get them to hatch. I put the eggs in a hang on breeder box with water temp at 27.

Do you have 10 for sale? Will you ship to Idaho? How much?
Thx Nick, been struggling breeding my school of 12 for months. Can u send me a link of ur bbs hatchery.
is there any way you could do an in depth breeding tutorial on barbs? My black ruby barbs are not breeding, thanks
Hey, I was wondering what your thoughts are about putting some pea puffers in a community tank? I was thinking 4 females with some Cory’s, neons and a female Brislenose pleco. The tank is 210 liters.
Yes I’ve had a setup like that and it was great. Have good plants for cover and you’ll be perfect.
Are your puffers 100% fresh water or do you use some brackish?
What size tank do you have for your group of 10 puffers?
how many gallons do you suggest for breeding 5 - 10 pea puffers?
Temps? An TDS? Feed the babies infusoria cyclops?
Awesome video as always.
Why are they so expensive in Australia? (And will these things eat cherry shrimp, or mainly small snails?)
Hi, are you in NSW? If not, do you post fish to NSW? Thanks
do you have to deworm the pea's ?
Can I ask something do the pea puffers eat snail in your tank or just worms and bug Buffy I just want to now it. Also I love your videos 💙 I hope you can replay thank you
What a great video! Top shelf brother!! ❤
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
How many puffer nuts are there in 1 tank? and how many centimeters long and wide is the tank used? Thank you in advance
thanks bro!! always wanted to try pea puffers!!
Do youhave a video on how to breed Oscars?
Hope you can find a better way for you to breed more pea puffers. Thanks for sharing your video s I find them interesting to watch. 👍
hopefully one day they will be more accessible in Australia
Already are, Last year they were $200 each roughly. Getting to around $66 each in shops now and private breeders even cheaper. Soon it will be the same as the rest of the world where they are only a few $ each
@@mrdilgames6546 i still see them for around $100 and that feel like gate keeping to me. its all too common in Australia though these days sadly
@@mrdilgames6546 Where? Searched in victoria and they're still $$$$
I have 2 pairs. The older pair, after throwing some snails, started showing mating behavior. They are too young in my opinion but it's still cool to watch.
Please make a video introducing black worm breeding.
Yay, 🎉more pea puffers😊🎉
No way I just bought some of them they are happy and actually get along with my shrimp and fish
How is the peace after 11 months doing?
I found they are peaceful as babies and go balistic once they grow up.
Do you own white cloud mountin minnows??
Hello, how can I solve the problem of teeth dying after collecting eggs, not being able to ovulate
Can you please make a video on fish you can breed passively
I have 3 pea puffers in a 15 gallon tank, I keep the water temperature at 77, and I have both floating and planted plants and my pea puffers are breeding. I was actually hoping they would not but here I am.
What‘s the water Parameter? Gh/kh/ph/°C ?
greetings from miami,florida 😮

Love your videos keep up the good work
How do we buy a group of pea puffers from you
How do you keep your blood worms in there like that?
Very cool thanks for sharing
Maybe once u get a bunch of eggs in the container keep 1 male in them seprate to fertilize them?
WOW!
Lost my mind last weekend. Our LFS had a baby fahaka for 30$ healthy as could be. Shame we don’t have a 200 gallon lol
Are pea puffer fish friendly to other fish?
No
Depends on your tankmates. Ideally, fast moving and peaceful tankmates are best. Avoid long finned fishes like bettas as peas have been known to nip at their fins. With that being said, most pea keepers agree that a species only tank is the best option.
See is was told not to leave the food in the tank because they will eat till the burst n die….?? Anyone know how true that is or how often that happens?
No they’ll stop once they realize they can’t fit any more food in them lol
What are the red worms?
Bloodworms
2:26?
they are blackworms not blood worms
Love your videos man! Keep it up! From North Carolina USA
Thanks bro!
Doing good mate!
Can anyone sugest me to buy live fish inernational shipping
How come the eggs can’t just be left alone with the adults?
i have good news i managed to breed my white clouds i will start selling them next year maybe i am only 13 ya so i will not spam you with the question on how to breed white cloud mountin minnow.
Do shrimp eat pygmy eggs?
I managed it by accident in my large tank theyre in, i have so many i dont know what to do with them
Where are you located?
Very cool
can you keep these guys in a community tank?
The hormone thing must not always work because of my first ten 7 developed into males.
Awesome bud they’re a very expensive investment if you’re buying them to breed
👍🏾
Put methylene blue in your hatching tanks for better hatch rate. Put more males, like 6 males to 4 females ratio for better fertile egg rate. Change that "spawning mop" to palm fiber to reduce risk of damaging the eggs.
You cannot get pea puffers in the U.S. right bow. I’ve tried everywhere
I literally got 4 today 💀
👍🏿👏🏿
Still no water parameters.
Oof massive oversight. You are sooo right.

Of course I’ve only bred cherry shrimps and cpds and rock hard city two water treated with prime and PH down 😂
If you look at his older videos, there is another pea puffer video, which includes all water parameters info
@@AstralApophis Yep, and he never returns to these videos answering any questions either.
😍😍😍
Yesterday I found a single pea puffer fry with my male and two females 🙈
Day 1 for asking for gorami breeding
Do they puff up😂😂😂
can we just call them what they are. SPACE SHIPS!! (Think of the Lego-Movie
Here about $100 each. Breed this like digging a gold mine.
My p’s stick there eggs to the glass never anywhere else …and he’s not lying black worms make them lay
