It's amazing its almost like they form off the egg rather than hatch from it. When they were bouncing around on the egg sack it reminded me of a South Park episode lol. I loved how they absorbed it over time and really started showing the personality at the end :)
+FearIsFunYT hi fearls, I'll be honest I have zero experience with gold fish. however there are quite a few cichlids that can be easy to breed like yellow labs for example. the saying with cichlids by some people is "to breed cichlids just add water"
That's so cool! At first they looked like little jumping beans, and I was concerned. It was also so crazy that they absorbed the egg and it became their stomach! Thanks for sharing, really cool!
That was so cute! At the end they were dying to get out into the bigger tank. We have a 55 gallon tank with cichlids & a smaller tank with smaller ones. They definitely are resilient, & love how they follow if u walk by, cuz they wanna be fed lol.
Angela Magic Salveson. following you is only one of the joys of caring for aggressive fish. Keep them happy and healthy, they'll do more than beg for food.
I Dont Care Enough To Write A Name - the closest to 'drowning' is probably the lack of oxygen in the water due to lack of filtering/water changes. i'm no expert though, so there might be a way.
+Josh B hi Josh. yes the egg is their food and is absorbed into what becomes a stomach essentially, once it is completely absorbed they begin eating normally. thank you for watching
I came here looking for a cute mammal .. but, instead i ended up staring at jumping beans for a long time Edit: hhhh im sorry i made a mistake !! pls stop attackinG mE
+Rebecca hilliard hi Rebecca. no normally the mother holds the babies in her mouth to protect them. the mother in my tank is very young so she doesn't understand yet. she may eat them. this apparatus simulates what the mother would do
Wow that’s super cool. They’re a very smart fish species. That’s neat how they use their egg sacks like that as food :) the babies are born with their first meals lol
+Ergo Sum Adrieyl it is a very cool and effective process for survival I think. I'm going to plan to do this with a larger species in a few months hopefully
+Adam Christopher haha thanks Adam. the way I see it even the negative comments are still a positive for the channel since they watched. but honestly there's no point in having arguments with hundreds of people
i made a egg bubbler before with just a net, a few flat rocks at the bottom and had the air bubbles hitting the rocks from underneath. Everything worked out and all fry lived from egg.
+Rubix Cube yes the water flows through to keep the eggs moving which simulates the mother holding the eggs in her mouth. if they aren't moving they die
Awww they are so cute. I have been watching my baby Mollies grow up for a few months now and it is amazing to see them develop!! They are getting so big!
That's pretty neat. Thank You for sharing. And REALLY Thank You for not talking through whole thing. Hate when people think they need to continue to talk through videos.
How did you get them eggs inside the little tumbler? They are soo fragile I would be so scared to hurt them while placing them inside, but it seems so perfect to have them inside there
Adam C awesome! Its a good way to do it.... my fry mostly get eaten but i get a few survive every so often. Its probably better that way as my 1 and only tank would become overstocked quite quickly. What is the species your thinking of?? Do you find the hatch rate is pretty much 100% using this method? I have a couple of my own cichlid vids on my channel if your interested to see. Cheers mate and keep up the awesome vids
+Sim W thanks sim I'll check you out. my next video like this should be on a few weeks and will be buccochromis rhoadesii yellow. I'd say the hatch rate is around 90 percent. there are usually always a few that didn't get fertilized and just don't grow at all
This is cool. I have no idea why it interested me in the first place, but it's cool. Seems like the eggs must have nutrients in them for the babies, since they don't detach from the body and are eventually absorbed inside.
Wow, you've done a very great job watching over their growing periode all those time... I've tried before as an amateur and none of them hatched... maybe the water temperature was wrong... What about mortality rate? Are they all survive?
I'm glad someone out there is FISHING out the biological details of marine life. I hope you FINish what you started. At least we get to SEA what has been KELPt UNDERWATER for so long by our limited resources; truly inspiring. I'd GILL for more information about our planet's marine life.
as for being a fish breeder for a while some time ago i never woulda guessed that the egg was actually their insides after they grew a little more thats mindblowing. ive bred guppies for a while and a few other kinds of fish and my favorite beta fish, for they were the most difficult i have dealt with but ive never seen this before its new for me, nice going though for getting the whole batch hatched
+Anasthasia Alex xandra thanks for watching. they absorb the egg for food until they are big enough to swim. I plan to do this with a larger species in a few months hopefully
Ive just recently begun keeping cichlids and absolutely love the hobby.Started off with just a few young ones in a 46 litre tank but am waiting for the delivery of a bigger tank now so that I can buy some more lol Ive kept guppies but pretty as they can be they dont have the characters that cichlids seem to have,theyre really interesting to watch ,thanks for posting this ,I enjoyed seeing how they start out :) Subscribed :)
Hello I have some questions 1 why were they still attached to the egg when they were growing? 2 why were the eggs bobbing up and down? 3 where do the eggs go when the fry are growing?
+Bree Dallas they absorb the egg as food until they can swim around and find their own food. the bobbing up and down simulates the mother fish holding the eggs in her mouth for protection. if they aren't moving they can rot and die similar to bed sores. thanks for watching bree
I thought the one behind it was a reflection for a while until they were gone lol. Also its so cool how they absorb the egg membrane back into their body for nutrientd.
Adam C it's quit the epic battle isn't it, so what, a African Rift Valley cichlid may have 30 odd eggs, without them being stripped she is going to loose quit a few of those in the wild, not accounting for duds she will eat herself, then the rearing of the fry constantly under the watchful gaze of every predator in eye shot of her territory, then sub adulthood and independence. It's amazing any make it!. I refuse to buy wild caught these days, what with added pressure of human population, and the understanding of the utter miracle that takes place to get that fish too adulthood. I think it could one day be up to us aquarists to support these amazing animals in the wild and not the other way round. Sad thought isn't it!
Whoa, that's wild! I would never have imagined them developing like that, I've only ever seen animals grow from inside the egg. Is this a common way for fish to develop or is it specific to this species? Thanks for sharing! :)
+Stefanie B thanks for watching Stefanie, it is interesting to see. it isn't common among all fish but this is pretty common among african cichlids which are fish from lake Malawi, lake tanganyika and lake Victoria. I hope to do this with a larger species in the future

Why do the eggs stay on them
It's amazing its almost like they form off the egg rather than hatch from it. When they were bouncing around on the egg sack it reminded me of a South Park episode lol. I loved how they absorbed it over time and really started showing the personality at the end :)

Awesome, thanks for watching
Wow! That was super cool to watch! Were those like eggs?
Thank you. Yes they were eggs that transformed into fish
That's actually wicked cool. Took my a while to actually notice there were little bodies attached to the eggs lol thanks for sharing.
+anime fan thanks for watching. I hope to do this with a larger species in the future

Hello I have some questions
1 why were they still attached to the egg when they were growing?
2 why were the eggs bobbing up and down?
3 where do the eggs go when the fry are growing?
+Bree Dallas they absorb the egg as food until they can swim around and find their own food. the bobbing up and down simulates the mother fish holding the eggs in her mouth for protection. if they aren't moving they can rot and die similar to bed sores. thanks for watching bree

I thought the one behind it was a reflection for a while until they were gone lol. Also its so cool how they absorb the egg membrane back into their body for nutrientd.
haha several people have said that. thanks for watching
Amazing how so many survive in the wild! So vulnerable for so long!
+Geoff Saunderson honestly a majority do not make it from everything I've read
Adam C it's quit the epic battle isn't it, so what, a African Rift Valley cichlid may have 30 odd eggs, without them being stripped she is going to loose quit a few of those in the wild, not accounting for duds she will eat herself, then the rearing of the fry constantly under the watchful gaze of every predator in eye shot of her territory, then sub adulthood and independence. It's amazing any make it!. I refuse to buy wild caught these days, what with added pressure of human population, and the understanding of the utter miracle that takes place to get that fish too adulthood. I think it could one day be up to us aquarists to support these amazing animals in the wild and not the other way round. Sad thought isn't it!

Whoa, that's wild! I would never have imagined them developing like that, I've only ever seen animals grow from inside the egg. Is this a common way for fish to develop or is it specific to this species? Thanks for sharing! :)
+Stefanie B thanks for watching Stefanie, it is interesting to see. it isn't common among all fish but this is pretty common among african cichlids which are fish from lake Malawi, lake tanganyika and lake Victoria. I hope to do this with a larger species in the future
Awesome! :)
