I like the format but personally could do without the little voices added in etc. To me it takes amway from the more soothing national geographic documentary type style but not a big deal either way. Each video seems more polished and very impressive. Rank them right up there with the best of them at the big money networks. Great job.
I bought a pair of honey gouramis from a fish shop in Fortitude Valley in 1979. Three months later, I had batch after batch of spawn. They are the sweetest-tempered gouramis and the babies are almost as cute as baby corydoras. I still live in Brisbane, but need to pull my finger out and get a tank again.😏
It is one of the easiest fish to breed. I've even had them try in the bag on the way home from the shop. I prefer the wild colouration though. They are happy in a Styrofoam box with some plants. In Cairns, they'll breed outside all year round.
Most aquarium fish are easy to breed. It is difficult to feed the fry well in order to obtain full-fledged producers. This video shows how to properly rotate food
@@Davidova I wasn't criticizing Nick, just saying how easy they are. I find many people fuss over their fish too much and end up killing them with kindness. Yes, of course you need to feed the fry suitable food. unless they are in a big pond which becomes an ecosystem in its own right. eg i had bettas and pearl gouramis breeding in a large garden pond for 5 years and never fed them once. I don't know how many generations ended up there before I sold the house.
I have not kept a Honey Gourami in a few years....this made me really want to pick up a pair. I adore their little "arms" and they way they genlty touch things with them. Thank you for the fantastic footage and awesomely fun narration!
Hoping the bug buffet becomes available over here in the states soon. Appreciate your videos and they are why I started my fish room back up. Currently only up to 30 tanks but is very enjoyable and is my form of therapy. Thanks again
The bug buffet is available. I've ordered it twice. Shipping was long the first time, but just ordered some a few weeks ago and came much faster this time.
This is the best fish UA-cam video I have ever seen. I got some blue planet vibes from this. You are a regular David Attenborough. 5 stars! Always been my favorite and most inspiring fish youtuber. Keep it up.
I love Gouramis!!!! I was literally looking at some (not these types) in my local fish store yesterday! Also, the quality of these videos though... The lighting, pacing, music, shot selection... chefs kisses. This channel is awesome
I didn't know that the dwarf honey gourami breeding process is the same as the betta's. I will keep these fish in mind for my 20 gallon long tank. Wonderful introduction of this content.
So glad you made this. I've had my honeys spawn twice in the past few weeks with no success at raising fry. On another note....been loving all the Dean footage too, but when do we get to see the footage from your visit to The Garden Of Eder?
Thanks for adding the cross at the end! The red must be dominant. My guess is you’ll probably get a quarter of the yellows back if you cross the siblings. And a 50-50 split if you cross one to a yellow again. Super cool!
Thank you for being such an inspiration. FYI, I'm now a rainbow junkie because of your channel! I would love for you to come to an Aquashella! Any chance you will be in Dallas in May? Thank you again from California!
Maybe for next video try to explain about tank size does it need aeration, how to get or make the baby food, cause not everyone knows, and not everyone live in the same area or even country, hope it getting better keep up the good work
When you cross breed a mutation to a wild form, you will always get wild form colored offspring because it's dominant to any mutation. However, as the yellow form is recessive to the wild form, 50% of the young will carry the yellow mutation gene. If you pair back the offspring (that carry the yellow gene) to yellow, you will get some yellow offspring and the rest be wild colored but carry the yellow gene. Unfortunately you can't see which ones carry the yellow gene in the wild offspring from your first cross. Some might show some of the yellow and look a bit different than the wild form when fully grown. Specially in adult females you could see this. Love these type of videos, much more interesting than just showing a scaped fish tank. Happy breeding.
I love the way you make the videos it's freaking awesome... You should please try to breed kuhli loaches one day it will be awesome to see how you breed them.....
Are the banana leaves used to cultivate minute infusoria, as an astringent or just something to anchor the bubble nest on? I always add an Indian Almond leaf to any tank with eggs as the tannins have an astringent effect. They prevent any fungus from attacking the eggs though I remove the leaf after all the fry have hatched.
Hey Nick, awesome video as always... Just my thoughts... I actually am not a fan of the video with the little voices you added on , The videos with just the voiceover and background music hit it just right for me. Love all the work you put out, and wishing you all the success in your journey.
I have a 10 gallon planted aquarium with 8 ember tetras and a honey gourami. Is there enough space left for a school of corydoras? If so, how many and what kind should I add?
That's probably too many fish for one tank. If you and much more your ammonia levels will go out of control. Additionally Corys should really have a 20+ gallon tank because they should be in schools or 6+.
I love your videos Nick you are such a big inspo to a small youtuber and fish breeder like me I am only 13 and trying to breed fish for profit i have bred my bettas, platys ,mollys ,guppys and white clouds do you have any advice.
Could I do this in one 40 gallon tank with a divider to separate the male and female. And then when the eggs hatch add the male to the side with the female? Also will the honeys eat their fry? Or could I get away with leaving the parents there the whole time?
A pair of my opaline gouramis tried to breed in a 10 gallon My boy was working so hard on the bubble nest, but I never saw any eggs(( Probably the tank was too small as there were some other fish in the tank Great video! Do you plan to film the breeding of other species?
Hi guys and beloved father fish.i did tank just like u instructed us to do. I put dirt-gravel-put 6 plants,ad a led red and white light. Spong filter,and one pothos plant on the top of my tank. The problem that I have right now is that the water keep getting yellow ish after about a few days. I don't know what I can do more.the plants are growing nicely. I have 9 different fish in it.a hitter. Even my rock's got yellow cover on them. Please can u help me?I put so many effort and time and love and care I my tank and fish and now I just do not know what can I do more or what I did wrong.
hey man, a Brazilian fan here. I have an unanswered question, why do fish breeders use clay pots, plates or vases for breeding? Is there something special about clay, is it about the texture, color or something else?
Honey gouramis are pretty much the most fun breeding project that I have.However my gouramis don't seem to color up. Even after 9 months they are still gray with the black stripe...and those don't sell so sadly it is a species that I'm not likely to keep breeding.
Can you do a video on ostracods aka seed shrimp, and what to do when you have a bazillion of them in your cherry shrimp tank. I have set up a bare bottom tank, and preparing it to transfer all my cherry shrimp in, so I can completely break down the shrimp tank and rid myself of these ostracods forever. I can only assume they came in on some plants I bought, so my bare bottom tank will only have potted tissue culture plants put in it. I chose bare bottom, so I can suck up any ostracods that I may accidentally net when transferring my cherry shrimp and babies into the new tank. I am hoping I can then set up the tank again, the way I want it, with substrate, minus these ostracods, and eventually put my shrimp into an ostracod free tank. I have heard they don’t kill cherry shrimp, but they do make the tank look awful, like it’s got fleas. I did try several fish to eat them, but all they did was scare my shrimp and ignore the ostracods. I tried, guppies, CPDs, leopard danios, neons and corydoras. If you could make a video on these tank pests, it would be great, because I have found next to none on UA-cam, they only talk about what they are, not how to deal with them. They say don’t over feed, however when you have lots of baby shrimp, it’s hard not to, because you want to ensure they don’t have to compete with the ostracods. I’m in Victoria btw, and love your channel. One day, when I can afford it, I want to buy some of your homebred hillstream loaches, to add to one of my 5 fresh water tanks.
Let me know if you liked the style of this video! I filmed it on my phone lol

I loved it and I say more little voices! Some people need to learn to have fun and not take things so seriously!
All your videos are great! Like this format a lot. Recently bought 8 zebra plecos so more zebra content would be great 😆
Loved this style dude!
First fish that ever spawned for me! Love honeys

Cool Nick. Now the Trichopsis Vittatus. Really interesting fish too. Heading them is cool, like boulders in a glass pot.
No surface agitation for weeks while they are still fry? So no sponge filter during this time?
Fantastic video thanks! Can you tell me more about your filter juice.
Really like this. Great content, as ever!
Maybe for next video try to explain about tank size does it need aeration, how to get or make the baby food, cause not everyone knows, and not everyone live in the same area or even country, hope it getting better keep up the good work

Thanks for a great video😊Could you please explaine what the filterjuce is??
I love honeys. Part of my daily routine is to go get a "high-five" at feeding time from mine. He's an inquisitive little dude!
I love the way you make the videos it's freaking awesome...
You should please try to breed kuhli loaches one day it will be awesome to see how you breed them.....
Amazing documentary ❤
Please explain filter juice. Can you just squeeze a used sponge and expect to get infusoria?
Wow I literally just got a pair. I'm going to do the same thing! Amazing video once again!!

Thank you so much for these little pleasure pills...always so fun to watch
Keep em coming these are the videos i like to watch
Great video, I always like your breeding projects 🇯🇲🇯🇲
nice video I have in the past bred bettas, and pearl gourami's they cannot be that difficult. by the way what size tank did you breed them in .
If you feed them so much, how do you keep the water clean and at the right parameters?
Will you be making a video on how your hillstream loaches are doing, did they have any fry 😮
I have a 10 gallon planted aquarium with 8 ember tetras and a honey gourami. Is there enough space left for a school of corydoras? If so, how many and what kind should I add?
That's probably too many fish for one tank. If you and much more your ammonia levels will go out of control. Additionally Corys should really have a 20+ gallon tank because they should be in schools or 6+.
*Adding Corys would be too much fish. You're probably fine right now
The little whiskers on the fry too ❤
The fry are adorable!
please teach how to make infusoria from filter juice
loved this style, adored the little voices! you have a great sense of humor! 😊
Can I keep the water heater on while breeding??
perfect video, aren't guramis able to crossbreed with bettas?
Man filter juice... I was struggling feeding my Dwarf Gurami and trying to keep the tank water clean. I'm going to use filter juice TY!.
Bro can you just help me how to feed decapsulted bbs for opaline gourami which are newly born
I loved the little voices you added in. Such a great contrast to the otherwise serious vibe of the video. Keep up the great work, Nick!
Satisfying and relaxing ❤

I've breed Paradise Gouramis, very similar behavior and process.
loved breeding these so awesome
I’ve kept a few goerami’s but died quite often. Really frustrating back in the day. But they are beautiful fish
Can't get mine to spawn at all :( I notice there was no filter going in the baby tank, is this the best way to get them to spawn?
how about the first meal being boiled yolk
Lovely video. Lovely videography
Hi guys and beloved father fish.i did tank just like u instructed us to do.

I wanna try caring gouramis after wacthing this video
You should try pygmy gourami (Trichopsis pumila), they are super cute.
Amazing Gourami! Nice video 🎉
I like this style of video.
They are super easy, but if you want to go real east with allot of color go to paradise fish (macropodus opercularis).
love this type of video!

Love this breeding videos!!!😍
Can u feed them bug buffet soon as there a day old
Does anyone know if these fish eat aquarium hydras?
breed polar blue parrots plz. They are fun to look and have a playful character
i love honey gouramis my favorite fish
What the fq? Bubble nest? I thought it's just over oxygen so i remove it whenever i see more bubble on aquarium???😢
Nice video, thanks for work

Why is my red gourami not coloring up
Most waited for the project. I tried twice,but since it is summer in India i didn't get results.
I love these
If you breed the red-yellow mixed fry with each other, you might get different results. There might be some recessive genes in there
Great video 😊 Detroit
Lovely fish
