Hey man. You often talk about how important are blackworms for your fish but could you maybe tell us how exactly do you keep and breed them? I don't know much about it but a video on them or just on live foods in general would be awesome I think.
This please! I've kept them alive in fish tanks for months after buying them (they really just require lots of air bubbling and pothos and java) but have not ever had them multiply in any way that is a sustainable culture. (though, that could have been just how many i was feeding at the time...)
We were a bird keeper and breeder but some personal problem we stopped that. After that we start fish breeding till now not successful economically . We are following yours channel from the beginning. Your success makes us happy. Love from india
My favorite are the green also. One of my favorite tanks had 15 tiger barbs, a few rainbow fish, and denison barbs. That tank was always active. Fish swimming fast as heck.
Amazing video! I’m currently looking for a fish to breed, and those green tiger barbs truly are something else. Always enjoy watching these “breeding project” vids.
I just like to add a kind suggestion as an old aquarium lover. I used to do the breeding tiger barbs this way of buying 15 small ones, raising them with high protein diet untill the females got about 5 cmm when the miles of same group were 3.5 to 4 cm. Then I used to close the ratio of 2 females+3 males or 3 females +4 males . The breeding tank is best when it is 40cm width or more when the length should be 80 to 100 meter. I used to set a fine cotton mesh with about 200 pores/inch² the way that it srayed 5 cm above the botten of the aquarium . The depth of the water was not more than 25 cm totally including the 5 cm space at the botten. The Zebras lay aggs mostly near to sunset almost 70% of time. 2 days after transfering the fishes, the males are chasing the females in a very continous pantern and if you have time, you can see them lay eggs multiple times and about 10 eggs each time every 5 to 10 minuter during 2-3 hours. They will do it the day after if you feed them with living food but meticulously controlled by means of no remnant food in the aquarium. After 2 days I got used to transfer the breeders to their own aquarium letting them have more space with high quality food when the eggs got hatched even as 1000 baby fishes. I have done this technique so many times and I used to sell baby tigers in 100 to 500 packages. The only thing that could prevent me to do it 4 times a month was limitation of my time unless I would be able to raise 4 to 5 thousands of Tiger barbs every month. I am sure that this metod works very well. With best regards.
You make really great videos! I love baby barbs! Sometimes they will stripe young but then lose stripes when they get older. Barbs are trickle spawners which means they lay only a few eggs a day.
If you find yourself having trouble with larva developing in your breeding bins before the fry have mouths big enough to eat them, you can throw BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) in there in either bit form or liquid form. It needs to be replaced roughly every 2 weeks, so in theory you dose once and after 2 weeks the fry just eat the larva.
Hey Nick, thats kinda how my first zebra danio breeding went, put them in the basket for a few days, when I removed the basket to put the danios back in their tank, I couldnt see any eggs, but low and behold after a week I had over one hundred fry swimming around the tank... what a surprise. Have you ever spawned harliquin rasboras? i'm thinking on trying the basket method, with big leaf plastic plants in the basket...
This is awesome content! I've been wanting you to breed brabs for a while now, but you should really consider a prettier barb that could possibly be bred for profit. The "Black Ruby Barb" is picturesque. Gorgeous but aggressive. Also, "Gold Barbs" are beautiful as well and easier to breed. Keeping on breeding and putting out amazing content. I'm rooting for you 🤟
Thanks for sharing your content and experiments little brother, can't wait to see what you end up with. Breeding danios was super easy with your tutorial. You are appreciated!!!
That a fantastic breeding project nick! Tiger barbs are probly my favorite of the barb species! I might try to spawn these myself this summer as one of my breeding projects, thank you so much for this information, I will give it a go🙂👍🏻💯⭐️
My favorite is the green.I definitely want to get some more !I have seen the silver green tiger barbs,I bet those are a cross between the albino and the green .
What is the difference between spawning Rosy Barb fish and Tiger Barb in terms of water chemical, because I was able to spawn Rosy Barb fish with water as follows 50% tap water and 50% rain water.
I only have one more guppy left in my tank with a giant pleco. As soon the guppy is gone ill be switching to tiger barbs. Is a 90 gallon and im thinking to get about 20 barbs and 20 neon tetra as well
Love the video keep up the good work but I feel like some things are important for you to know with barbs. One thing to Note is that there eggs are adhesive so always check the Coco fiber next they are a larval fish so don't do anything to drastic in the beginning because it could impact development and other than that you are doing great keep up the good work
I thought the same thing! This guy can just throw some fish together in a bin and he always ends up with fry! It's amazing to watch, I want to try, but it's hard to believe it's as easy as he makes it seem lol
You should outcross some known strains of fish, such as golden white clouds, or albino morphs, with wild phenotypes then crossing back the spawn back to the strain. It would make for an interesting and educational video. More people should outcross new strains to introduce genetic diversity back into the strain, this would make them more hardier and healthier too. I think the fish hobby can improve their breeding ethics more.
I forgot to mention, checkout Cory from Aquarium Co-op about 4 years ago. He had 300 Tiger Barb's in an 800 gallon tank. It was awesome with all that schooling going on.
Great content man, I’m getting ready to breed my betta and I’m super excited. I’m not sure which color to try and breed her with though. The one I have now is a red so if anyone has a suggestion I would love to hear it.
I prefer not to crossbreed my tiger barb's, as I like the original one's. I color them up so the fin's are red with a dark black boarder. I do the same with my Tinfoil barb's. I've been buying my breeding basket's hear in the USA at a store called Dollar General for a quarter of the price. They are for gardening actually, but work great. Last week I was binge watching some of your older video's, and dude you were young. Not quite as good looking as me, but you'll grow into it.
My gold and black molly won't leave each other alone I noticed she was getting really fat so I had my husband go get a breeder box the first time nothing happened but a few days later I had the feeling I should put her back in with the Coco coir and the next morning we had baby fry. I think there are around 25 believe this is her first time I tried making and infusion I know I don't say that right tank water and yeast and I added a little bit of kale set it out in the sun and also keep it near the desks light during the day it is very cloudy and it never did clear up but I do see the little microorganisms floating around and I did try to feed that but it really clouds up my tank anything you can suggest to help me would be greatly appreciated they definitely don't like the red worms they seem to eat the Tetra food better than they do the flakes or the pellets which I grind up in my fingers I don't know if PetSmart carries black worms or how does start the oatmeal and where the culture comes from I love watching your program thank you so much I'm very new at this my husband got me a 10 gallon tank to put these new fry into out of the breeder basket which was very small and they are swimming all over the place

@@creationsbyblu9563 im pretty sure he does have a video on his blackworm set up, check his channel!
Goated comment
I ' ve some problems with them cause blackworms are hosts of parasites. For example they are intermediate hosts of tapeworms
@@creationsbyblu9563 black worms multiply asexually, you have to cut them in half and then the two parts will grow separately on their own
Greens are my favorite too. Also can’t wait to see the fry grow.
probably the best fish breeding content out there! keep it up and you will go places
Your kidding right? He didn't have a clue (no offense). There's much better info out there
We were a bird keeper and breeder but some personal problem we stopped that. After that we start fish breeding till now not successful economically . We are following yours channel from the beginning. Your success makes us happy.

Love the content mate, all the way from the Uk! Keep up the great work and super excited to see the new premises come together. 👍
All the best mate
Hi from Hungary,
Thank You for the content. It was nice to see the procedure of the breeding. Beautiful little fishes. 👍
Keep up the good work! 👍
10:51 wonder why the eye changes color! lol nice vid man
Love the video ❤❤❤❤
Great Video! Hope you can update on the Shrimps in the Drums! Thanks!
I love your breeding content.
Its really an inspiration for my own setup. I breed celestial danios with this method, it works so well for me.
Great fun, Nick! Thanks.
"Puntius nigrofasciatus" u should try that one out, the males do some cool spinning when they are ready to spawn.
If you find yourself having trouble with larva developing in your breeding bins before the fry have mouths big enough to eat them, you can throw BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) in there in either bit form or liquid form. It needs to be replaced roughly every 2 weeks, so in theory you dose once and after 2 weeks the fry just eat the larva.
The barbs fish fry are lovely 🥰
Hey bud it would be nice to see them growing up yous should make a video a couple of months down the line from breading them.
Great video and good explanation of what you did and how you adjusted
Hey Nick, thats kinda how my first zebra danio breeding went, put them in the basket for a few days, when I removed the basket to put the danios back in their tank, I couldnt see any eggs, but low and behold after a week I had over one hundred fry swimming around the tank... what a surprise.

Males have a red caudle fin.
They are my favorite schooling fish. I'm fond of the standard color.
ive seen all my barbs have red tails but they are defenently not all male as i have 14 fish
That a fantastic breeding project nick! Tiger barbs are probly my favorite of the barb species! I might try to spawn these myself this summer as one of my breeding projects, thank you so much for this information, I will give it a go🙂👍🏻💯⭐️
The string stuff u had in the water did u check to see if any eggs was on it?
My favorite is the green.I definitely want to get some more !I have seen the silver green tiger barbs,I bet those are a cross between the albino and the green .
The greens are also my favorite! It is so hard to find a quality green barb in the states... I bred them once using marbles as media.
Thanks dude, love the little barbs!
I have huge barbs and cant wait to try and breed them im going to start tmr to try and breed for the first time im very exited

Hi you have a fan form Iran 👍
Some fry is better than no fry. Good job 👍
I only have one more guppy left in my tank with a giant pleco. As soon the guppy is gone ill be switching to tiger barbs. Is a 90 gallon and im thinking to get about 20 barbs and 20 neon tetra as well
congrats so far can't wait to see an update in a few months on them and see how there coming along :)
Love the video keep up the good work but I feel like some things are important for you to know with barbs. One thing to Note is that there eggs are adhesive so always check the Coco fiber next they are a larval fish so don't do anything to drastic in the beginning because it could impact development and other than that you are doing great keep up the good work
Great Job Kiddo!! 👌
I love tiger barbs and neon tetras
Thank you for valuable input
What lights do you use for your fish tank

THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
I would love to see you breed goldfish or guppy again . Nice vid keep going
Great Video, Thanks
You make it look so easy
Noticed the net with bent handle, guessing because of clearance. It would be great to see a video with your tips and trick for netting fish.
Never tired of your content 🤩
I really like long fin tiger barbs.
My albino tiger barbs passed away yesterday 😢
wow !! i wish i could do the half of what you can❤❤❤
Interesting breeding the different kinds of fish
if you see this message than ping this comment and with that great work keep it up love the vids!
The thing with tiger barns is they have to be left a few days. They only lay a few eggs a day. Try for like 3 days.
10:47 why does the baby close its eyes?
Final
Thank you so much 🥰
I already breeding them💪
Hi, I luv your videos soooooo much. I live in Brissy too, I was wondering where abouts your new shop will be located, so that I can come!!
The video i have been weighting for
Awesome, like the breeding vids would like to see one about kuhli loaches please 🐟
Great informative vedio!Thanks
What actualy 'triggers' the spawning? Them being in close proximinity and the coco fibers, or just the lights coming on?
That was a pretty good video
Could you do a breeding guid for beckfords pencil fish?
Hi can you share the link
Of
The basket you used for breeding.
I cant find that pond basket with such big openings
This here is my fave fish
Shouldn't you equalise the water tempreture before transfering the fish?
Where did you get that cool plastic cup be great for taking photos of small fish
Love this mate! Is there anything you CAN'T breed? Nice work :)
I thought the same thing! This guy can just throw some fish together in a bin and he always ends up with fry! It's amazing to watch, I want to try, but it's hard to believe it's as easy as he makes it seem lol
curious if you could try to breed yoyo loaches. thx
Hey your amazing at what you are doing

There could be eggs in the coconut fiber
Greatt
Keep going bro

Do you need a heater for when your breeding the tiger barbs?
I forgot to mention, checkout Cory from Aquarium Co-op about 4 years ago. He had 300 Tiger Barb's in an 800 gallon tank. It was awesome with all that schooling going on.
i would love to mix some corydoras and neocaridina and for middle water microrasbora galaxy, What volume should i aim for? 100 liters or bigger?
bro plezz update on danio cross
Great content man, I’m getting ready to breed my betta and I’m super excited. I’m not sure which color to try and breed her with though. The one I have now is a red so if anyone has a suggestion I would love to hear it.
what lighting do you use for your tanks with plants? aquarium lights, or something else
Make a detailed video on all your fish food
Hey I'm interested in if you get worms detritus worms and how to get rid of them or do you keep them
How old do cherry shrimp have to be before you can sell them?
