    G'day Brother Biggsy, glad to see you do some coverage on Rainbows. Yeah, breed like rabbits, but their fry are a pain to cater to. I have a five week count down to the Rainbow collecting, field trip ( Cairns, Australia ) as we've discussed. Will be filming several episodes for the channel, including underwater footage. Just got the camera housing. There will be a lot of morphs seen in the wild for the first time, that are not seen outside of Australia. Great to see you've hit the 1000 sub milestone, congratulations Brother, keep em coming. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi,oi,oi! Jason

      I was very heavy into rainbows in the late 80’s-90’s there was a gentleman from down under was very much involved in getting eggs to us on the other side of the pond. Ron Bowman?
      Nowadays there’s so many new species coming out of info and Papua. So many new amazing fish so little tank space

      Yeah, I know Ron well. He getting a little long in the gills, but he's still active in ANGFA. Top bloke, he's done a lot for the hobby.

      Thank you kindly Jim.
      My fishroom is in such chaos as I struggle to get the farm to bed as winter cane really early. Once winter is fully here life begins to settle a bit so I can concentrate on the numerous projects I have planned for you guys

    Nice one Biggs. I’ve always wanted to keep killifish but haven’t as of yet. Maybe this video will inspire me to go out and get some 🤔

      Definitely hope so. They are so rewarding. Aphyosemion australe, striatum, Fubdulopanchax gardneri if any flavor all amazing species to ‘cut your teeth’ on. Prolific, easy to keep and feed

    Perfecto! Thank you. I used these mops when I was raising guppies. They work like a charm for all kinds of fish. Hey, just remember lots of adult men like to knit! (luvs)

    Chris, have you ever tried black ,plastic garbage bags cut into strips?- Seagrest farms in Florida does that and I was impressed by the results. I personally am partial to that "camo" wool you have there.

    • @themadaquarist

      I did many years ago but not for this purpose. I shall be down at Seagrest in February to do a whole series of videos. I may have to do some investigations.
      Thank you kindly Nancy

    Can you leave these spawning mops in the tank permanently
