@@KeepingFishSimple honestly i want to get an aquarium because i like angelfish and i think breeding them would be fun. you have inspired me to start cleaning up my room and make a mini "fish room" with one 30 gallon and 3 extra like 20 gallon tubs because i want to breed them thank u

I have a small colony of bronze corydoras. They've always laid a ton of eggs and I just let them be eaten or clean them out. I just talked to my local fish store about giving them away and they said they'd give me 50% of whatever they could sell them for. So I'm pretty excited to start setting up a nursery.
@@colincarrington4629 I started with a group of 8. They kept laying eggs on the glass when i did a water change with SLIGHTLY colder water. Then I would scrape the eggs off the glass with a debit card after like a day to make sure they were fertilized and then I put them in a separate tank so that they wouldn't get eaten.
I sell on eBay and aqua bid I sell guppy’s snail and shrimp super fun and your fish will always sell people want different genes and it prevents inbreeding post your fish don’t be scared once the first package is sent it’s a smooth ride after that! Best of luck to you
Thanks for your helpful channel videos, I've been with your channel since 2018 and I believe you're grossly underestimated. You inspired me to breed angels, plecos, mollies, and guppies. My dream is to get a fish room just like you. You are inspiering a lot of us and I believe I can say for all of the people that follow your channel you are our go-to person on fish tips.
I've been watching several videos about keeping fish/business today. And, I must say, you are a natural educator. Thank you so much for your generosity in frankly sharing your knowledge.
Hi! I bred Strawberry Finches for years and other rare finches. My kids were little and they just loved my hobby, it kept me home during there early years and kept them busy and entertained. Congrats! Now I am retired, maybe I should go back to my profitable hobby!
Good video, even if your tanks are a little bit small. You take good care of your Fish. Important for all future breeders, to speak with your local fish shop before you breed fish for profit. I know a lot of fish shops that don't buy fish from private breeders because of illness, sickness, quallitay, and the price the fish could have. For example, Bristlenose is such a common fish in Germany that no fish shop here will buy it from you. The most shops don't even want these fish as a gift. So do not forget to speak with your Shops before starting this hobby. They can tell you if they will buy fish from you or not and which kind of fish they need the most. Good luck to you and have some fun with the fish. 🙂
The most profit I've made was actually with snails. The clea Helena. I bought one because there were many little snails in my tank. Seems like it was pregnant, so that I soon had 8 of them. After 2 weeks it were 50. I took out 40 of them and sold them to the same shop I bought one snail one month ago. I did this several times. In the shop they cost about 4,50$, I sold them for like 2$ each. The people in the shop were so happy to see me every time 😂 That was a lot of fun. I definitely recommend those snails. They're pretty and keep the aquarium kinda clean. Killing little snails, eating the rest of fish food on the ground or eating the remains of dead fish.
yeah this is cool, my dad did this with m. opercularis until it was FORBIDDEN for shops in germany to buy fish from private people. until maybe 2016 or sth like this if you see m. opercularis is our region they are babys from ours
I am currently building my fish room in a bedroom downstairs. We buy 2 tanks a month. One 40 gallon breeder, and one 20 gallon high. Over here where I live there is a huge fish shortage. I plan on breeding for profit as well. But takes time to set up. Been fish keeping for years and I love the hobby as well. Cheers and continued success.
I love the way this guy rattles through the information. I feel like Neo in the matrix just downloading information. No fluff just smashing through the info, good stuff sir 👍
in indonesia it's 30 to 50 cent for the shrimp depends on the variation. but, in my experience there's some area where it didn't have any breeder of shrimp in here. so i think it's a go for shrimp
You enthusiasm in these videos has sparked an obsession in me from ten years ago when i was 17 and almost started a fish room like yours, Now i actually have money to afford it and might just go broke again because of it hahaha
Back then…the most profitable fish for me was…angel fish, flower horn, bettas and discus. If u don’t have space…my advice is pick two that u can breed easily and stick to that.
@@luannabrams Nice , we went shopping crazy during the lockdowns because it was so easy to order with home work... Now we are breeding less ;( And caring for more , İ want to fully switch to only 1-2 species , my favorite are barbs and tetras
Great to see your discus have finally breed for you. How old are they at the moment? What are you feeding? Whats your water change routine? Have you seen any die off in the batch? Sorry for all the questions, mine have just breed and are now sitting around 3 weeks of age so great to compare what you do' Cheers Oh yeah had my first spawn of rams the other week, didnt even know there was eggs, over night about a week of age they all disappeared :-( Gavin
The reason I watched your videos is because I was getting a couple neon Tetra And now I know how to take care Of neon Tetra because I watch your videos.
First off, love your vid's, I've found you to be a solid source of interesting knowledge, I've been in to hobby for about 5 years now and it's so good to come across a local channel! Question! How do you approach fish shops? I Started out breeding guppies and neo caridinas and had success with corys, I was able to sell them privately but would prefer to sell to a shop. My preferred LFS's knocked me back saying they only buy from wholesalers and of the couple of stores I approached neither were big chain stores, one store stated one of the other reasons they wouldn't be interested was the cost of quarantining the fish, so I'm curious what your thoughts are and if you have any tips or suggestions. Cheers from Melbourne!
My tap water has a high ph. How do I deal with this as I can just put it directly into my aquarium? Can you make a video how you deal with your water ph with so many tanks you have?
I just finished setting up my 3ft 150 litre tank and I’m planning on getting bristlenoses, corydoras, and angelfish as well as some Platys and some kuhli loaches and the plan is for them to all breed. I will be getting them all quite young so they are cheaper. (I got the tank for free and all the fish in total will be around $150) I want 12 Cory’s (6 peppered and 6 albino), 6 normal bristlenoses and 4 albinos, between 3-5 angels (will get a second larger tank for them once I see one someone is selling under $200, I paid $150 for a 150litre, 65litre, and 45litres tanks as well as all the filters and heaters that go with them and some basic fake plants and ornaments but I’m only use if live plants and caves
I enjoyed your interesting video! Have you ever tried any of the killifish? I found many species are a lot easier than people may think. Many of them are really colourful and they grow fast.
Rams *breed in my tank* Discus *breeds in my tank* Angelfish *breeds in my tank* Jewelfish *breeds in my tank* Convicts *breed in my tank* Guppies and bettas *breed in my tank* Shrimps *DIES*😃
"I may have this wrong." Mate, you're making a living doing the hobby we love, you're doing it right. If someone tells you that you're wrong as them to show you how they do it right. Not tell you, show you! Either you'll learn something I bet you most people who tell you you're doing it wrong have no experience with what you're doing.
Crystal red shrimp to better for me then neocaridina shrimp lol even though my water is more suited for the neocaridina. Haven't had much luck with the blue dreams
Are you still taking any orders on your website? It says your website isn’t taking any orders. What do you think of Bettas do you think they make good profit?
Awesome advice Sir. What's your opinions on breeding fancy goldfish for profits. Also can you share what foods you feed parents and fry during different stages of growth
If you could ever do a video on actually what to do with the corydoras eggs after they're laid to hatch them and raise the fry that would be so good! My Sterbai's lay eggs then my pandas come along and eat them cos I'm not sure how to hatch them
Great video! You should also make a video where you say how many fish you can breed in only one fish tank! Like can I have a breeding group of rainbow fish, a pair of briselnose and som Cory grow outs and still get fry?
sooo.... save up a toooon for suckers. buy a 400 gallon and a massive spawning group. then as they settle and listen to Barry Manalo, set up a 200 gallon with a few thousand varied shrimp and let them have fun and turn over tens of thousands of .99 shrimp. in the shrimp one it can double as a corral habitat and even a living room piece
I’ve been thinking about getting a 1000 L food safety IBC container and using it as a great tank what do you think I recently watched a guy cut the top off and turn it upside down and use it is a big filter overhead some sort of set up and put a basic auto water change on it thinking about plumbing a ro you let directly into it and an overflow with a constant drip system and some sort of canister filter with a long wand for sucking all the detritus out of the bottom and returning the water back like you quite busy so trying to make it as Quick and easy to use as I possibly can but maintain the highest quality water premiers be interested to hear what you think
Thanks for your video, I have now got loads of mollies and frys in one tank, they are multiplying at a fast rate, you have given me inspiration about breeding other fish, I do have garage space although my fish are in my living room pride of place. I will need to look at transferring my mollies even though my tank is large.
Endlers are a good place to start, they seem to sell very well. Unfortunately mollies are a little harder to shift but you may get lucky, all the best :)
These guys…
@KeepingFishSimple Are you still shipping as my birthday is coming up and wondering if I can still get some things from your store?
didn't notice until you pointed it out 😅
This video is going to cause a higher demand for these fish 🤣
Well I think we can all relate lol
I have the same issue! 😂
The reason why I started to watch your channel was trying to keep my fish alive. Now I want a fish room and breed for profit. ;p

After watching this video I will be attempting to breed Thai oranda goldfish, always been my favorite would like to share their beauty with the world
I would like to see a blog on breeding shrimp also I've always wanted to breed neon tetra and I can now thanks to you. you're a legend.

Oops i mean your right side and my left🤣🤣
Great to see your discus have finally breed for you.
How old are they at the moment?
What are you feeding?
Whats your water change routine?
Have you seen any die off in the batch?

And now I know how to take care
Of neon Tetra because I watch your videos.
I have so much schoolwork to do why am I watching a video on how to breed fish for profit at 3am
Appreciate the time you've taken to give us this info man
Good information every time I watch. The fact that you have a full time job breeding fish is very cool. I wish I had your “sticktoitness” at your age.
Another very easy fish to breed are convict cichlids or polar parrot cichlids! You should try breeding them too.
That's a good idea!
My mate feeds his convict fry to his Oscars they breed so much
This is the video I have been waiting for!! ❤❤
Nice stash Nick!
Thanks!
Sigma rare fish profit margin 😱🤑 He must have many uncles…

How much demand do you have for your discus. Do you ever have a hard time getting them sold to make room for new ones?
So glad I found your channel mate loads of good info, was watching a MD video and yours popped up after it was so glad keep up the good work 👏 👍

Holy cow at the angelfish!!
Awesome advice Sir.
What's your opinions on breeding fancy goldfish for profits.
Also can you share what foods you feed parents and fry during different stages of growth
Will do soon
Whenever I end up having to much fry I never can find anyone interested in buying fish, how do you sell yours?
If you could ever do a video on actually what to do with the corydoras eggs after they're laid to hatch them and raise the fry that would be so good! My Sterbai's lay eggs then my pandas come along and eat them cos I'm not sure how to hatch them
Scrape them off, stick inside a breeder box an make sure water can run through the box or it'll grow fungus. Feed them after the yolk sack is gone!
Great video! You should also make a video where you say how many fish you can breed in only one fish tank! Like can I have a breeding group of rainbow fish, a pair of briselnose and som Cory grow outs and still get fry?
Thanks for the idea!
