So glad to see the Vienna Guppies are thriving in your tank. If they continue to breed well for you hopefully you will have enough to sell on your website to spread them to other hobbyists. Not sure why you don't have any plant or moss in the blue velvet shrimp tank. I have MTS and ram horn in my shrimp tank and the shrimp population still explodes. My tank is filled with moss and floating plants. I feel that when the shrimp foods, especially any powder type, get caught by the moss or the roots of the floating plants, the snail can't really get there so the shrimps have a monopoly over those foods.
I've been using the breeding box (with hornwort) method for my guppies with great success. I put a female in, let her drop, let the fry grow for 2 weeks in the box, then move the fry to the main tank. I clean out the box and then put another female in that's close to dropping. So I get new fry into the main tank about every 2 weeks. That seems to be working well. I definitely have found a 50% or better improvement in fry survival using the breeder box method. I was averaging about 8 fry per batch found in the main tank. Now I'm averaging 15-18 fry in the breeder box. And at 2 weeks old the fry and big enough and fast enough to evade the adults and juveniles that might try to eat them.
I have that same snail catcher. Works pretty good. I don't mind the pond snails in the tank, but I sometimes overfeed the guppies when they are in the midst of breeding, so I get a few too many snails.
Great looking guppies. Love the salvinia you sent me great product. Looking forward to getting more tank space in the future so I can get some of your guppies.
The SERA snail trap would probably be perfect to get the pond snails. The shrimp might not be able to get in the trap. After that, the eggs are easy to spot and you could probably squish em!
Tom, do you just breed your longfin Whiteclouds with a breeding mop? I have some longfin Whiteclouds and want to breed them. I would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
I been watching these videos and actually am also disappointing that the red ear koi guppies did not produce any red ear offspring - keep us updated if further offsprings appear with any red ears.
How big is your room? Mine is 15×9 fr part of the room and 15x12 for the other part. I have 36 tanks in the room. Just loving your space. My dad said, "Dang now when you get a bigger room, you do that." I love my room, but to have a room like yours would be phenomenal!
You have some nice tanks. I see you use a lot of wood. What kind is it and where can I find some big enough for a 30 gal. tall? Have not found any tall enough. Nice guppies!
How are the koi tuxedo guppies? I’m extremely interested in getting some, been hunting them down all over the internet but haven’t quite found what I’m looking for. Also interested in some Philippine blue angelfish as well.
@@fishboy1415 same here. I just noticed some superficial similarities and always wondered what the Vienna guppies strain had originally been described as
Strange question - but have you bred guppies & shrimp for profit? I’m thinking of getting in it with a 5 G & 10 G may get a 40 for the guppies. Focusing on pandas & or dumbos if I go the guppy route. For shrimp I’m thinking of high grade red cherries, pumpkins or blue dreams. There aren’t many people where I’m at that sell shrimp. Since I got the 5 & 10 right now just might go with shrimp, but I don’t know if’s even worth it and or will make me a decent profit. Someone I know pulls $100 weekly for his shrimp where he’s at.
Question My blue Gourami has been guarding a bubble nest for the last week. I just scooped up the nest with a Tupperware. I have about 50 tiny fry darting around and I don't have brine shrimp. Can they survive on ground up flake food.? What can I feed them? 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟👍😮🤪

I really enjoy your videos
Greetins from Spain
Those Vienna Guppies are absolutely gorgeous!
I alway use a Petri dish to catch snails. The trap I bought works good on pond and ramshorn but the trumpet snails not so much.
there is something pleasant about you videos . good vid fish boi .
you plants look so beautiful oh yeah so does the guppies!!! 😍
Great looking guppies. Love the salvinia you sent me great product. Looking forward to getting more tank space in the future so I can get some of your guppies.
Thank you for your support!
@@fishboy1415 are you using gladiator shelving or Husky shelving?

Great timing Sunday morning before my finals game. let's go
its so cool that we have a fish named after our country
Great update I always enjoy your videos. 🐟🌿👍😊🎃
Great videos as always
I think I will try a similar jungle look thanks for the inspiration.
Finally love the vids
Love your videos!! Beautiful fish!!

Either a breeding mop or a bunch of java moss
Thanks!!
Love to see new content, keep it up bro!!👍🏻

I think 16 x 20
Can't wait for the Vienna Guppies to go up for sale! Any way to pre-order?
Cheers,
Chris
why they cannot produce without a single red ear is really weird. defiantly unfortunate
another great video. what do u use for ur awesome plants?
Thrive once every few weeks
If you wanted to capture shrimp passively how would you go about doing that?
You have some nice tanks. I see you use a lot of wood. What kind is it and where can I find some big enough for a 30 gal. tall? Have not found any tall enough. Nice guppies!
spiderwood and manzanita, try LFS, its difficult for sellers to ship larger pieces
@@fishboy1415 thank you! Sadly we have very few independent fish stores left in our area and those that are still here carry mostly nano tank stuff.
Nice as usual

Working on getting the numbers up, there was a video on them 2 weeks ago
@@fishboy1415 yeah I saw, I’m just trying to hunt down somewhere like a trio or so before the cold sets in.
Do you run co2? Your plants all look amazing and you don't seem to have hair algae. Is it because of your frequent water changes?
No CO2, just random fertilizer once and awhile
@@fishboy1415 Amazing
When do you think you'll have the vienna guppies available on the site? Thanks!
How similar do you think the “Vienna guppy” from Aquarium Co-op and the Aquatic Art’s “red lace micariff” endlers are?
I don't know that strain

where did u get that puffer stuck to the glass? saw it near the end of this! Looking good
