I love your yard and all the beautiful plants!
Thank you
This is so informative! Great job, fantastic reporting!🌻🌼🐝 Keep it up 🙌
Thank you
It is winter here in Canada and I've set up a 20 gallon with ricefish to grow out before setting up my patio tub for breeding this summer. I'd love some tips on getting them to breed indoors and also for how to safely transition the fish from 8.2 ph hard indoor water, to much softer lower ph rain water. Thanks!
I’d drip acclimate them and add crush coral in the pond to raise the ph. Indoor breeding is exactly the same as pond breeding only difference is separate the fry so all the fry that hatch on one day stay together and the otherwise they will compete with each other and only the ones that hatch first will raise up.

Thank you
I'm not a big fan of the Yarn Mop because I don't think anyone can say that a little fry can wiggle through, what the owner puts down. Give the mop enough room to expand to free the eggs. Scour Pad Mops on the other hand is promoted in some countries because it is better for the female to rub the eggs onto.
Even after many inspections I have never encountered any issues with rotting eggs/ fry or issues with fish getting stuck in the mops.
I have 5 strains, Orange, Red, Black, Pearl Galaxy, and Ouka.
I’d love to get some proper red ones would instantly be my favourite
How do u get green water??
I have Aussie birds drinking and washing in my containers . You know how a bird takes a bath? In my opinion that moves eggs in my garden.
Yeah it could be the bloody miner birds
Do you worry about dragonfly/damselfly larvae?? I've definitely lost a few fry to some :(
My ponds operate on “Thunder Dome” rule’s survival of the fittest leads to more robust fish. As I ado things in the ponds and I see them I will remove them but I don’t go out of my way to do it.
But if they are an issue for you just use some shade netting or mesh to prevent them from getting in.
Hi friend, do you know if there is any variety of Pseudomugil that can live outside in pond at winter?
It depends on your location and how cold are your winters are?
Any issues with the black plastic increasing the water temps out of range?
Edit: I breed Bosemani Rainbows. No problem getting them to get it on, just takes forever for the fry to get a decent size abs color up. Even with a good diet they're slow growers.
No but I always have plants that partially cover the surface of the water so temperature swings are at a minimum
Most rice fish are, the only ones I breed are Dwarf Neon Praecox.
Do you use the air stone or anything to put oxygen into your buckets?
I don’t but when they are outside they culture algae that do it and when I have them inside I keep them in lower numbers per bucket so they don’t need an air stone with the natural gas exchange between the water and air.
How would you recommend removing pond snails that got in rice fish ponds? I am trying to breed them and didn't learn of this issue until I already had a lot of snails in the ponds. I normally do nothing to remove them.
If they are in tubes drain and clean the tub if they are ponds there’s not a lot you can do unfortunately
@@duthieaquatics Thanks for the help seriously. idk why it never really crossed my mind to just dump it and restart lol. I've also taken to separating eggs by hand from the mops to help prevent possible getting into the egg containers. I forgot to reply before but now over 2 weeks later I have lots of fry from all my ricefish!
@@someguy3167 haha that’s completely fine I keep forgetting to edit my videos and upload constantly. Glad I could help
Can I keep rice fish outside here in India? Summer here is very hot..40+°c
Should be able to we had days that hot here too but you might want to make sure that you have plenty of plants around the pond to shade it from the sun especially if it’s not a big pond
I bought 5 hope I got some females. Can you do a vid on growing lotus?
Yes I can
Do you need to cycle the bucket, or are fish put straight in ?
Not with spawning mop going straight in it acts like bio media
@@duthieaquatics so I can just throw a tub outside with water and put some rice fish in and they'll be fine ?
@@Triall00 as long as you’re monitoring them and don’t over stock the tub yes
@@Triall00 I would cycle it for 2 days and let the chlorine evaporate out. adding some plant material from another tank would be a plus. They can sustain cold temps but dont do it, they will not grow much in the cold.
Is bare tank better to grow rice fish?
Not unless you’re frequently changing water
Can pls help me i have rice fish keep dying..they become skinny..
My pond has no filter but lots of plant
But they are with other fish like cherry barb and cloud . mountain ..im in aust but my fish keep dying .help!!😢
So the things that could be happening are:
1. The other fish are outcompeting them for food
2.They have internal parasites like camalanus red worms
3. They have a bacterial infection like TB which is causing them to waist away
I recommend separating them and trying to feed the live foods or frozen foods and see if they are eating properly and gain weight again. Check to make sure there are no worms like this 🪱 poking out from their anus.
And if none of them are the problem treat with antibiotics but keep in mind some bacteria can’t be treated.
Omg U reply thankyou sOoo much❤.❤.
Oh dear I think they might have bacterial and parasite can it be treated ??sob* I think it has TB...I bought many colour rice fish most died out cry*...
PLS help how do I treat them??
Thankyou
@@_LoV3_ lavamasol for the worms and a fish antibiotic but do them as two separate treatments I made a video on deworming in my channel already. But I think you will need to go to an aquarium shop to find out the best place for the medicine
Okay thankyou !!!I i will go check out rest of Ur video❤@@duthieaquatics
@@_LoV3_ good luck
Easier to breed, than guppies ???
Yes because you can separate the fry way easier. If you can raise guppy fry you can definitely do rice fish
@@duthieaquatics Well. Rice fish îs preety hard to get in here.
Not known species yet.
