I would like to replicate semi wild conditions, I am from Costa Rica so the tropical weather is a huge advantage as well as the water chemistry. I think that I will have the substrate be leaf litter to give hiding space for the eggs and to have a infusoria culture living already in the tote.
I thing breeding in small breesing setups give much more success rate than large setups. But in 120 setup you can go ahead with breesing meathod 2. Put group of adult fish and much more hiding places. They will thrive in it and breed in it.
Ok bro. Put some dark pebbles and put the leaf litter on top of it. Eggs will go to the pebble layer. It will have more survivel rate. Infusoria you can grow in separate setup and when you have seen some spawning behaviours in tank. You can start infusoria small volume 2ml dilute with 20 ml of water and distribute in vegitation. Then if have fry they will surview.
I absolutely love your videos!! Can you do a video on how you quarantine? Do you pretreat for parasites? I'd love a detailed video on it. And your videos are FULL of great info so im sure a quarantine video would be great coming from you!
A nice video. They tend to catch some fish diseases, like ich and some kind of fungi issues. Sometimes tiny white worms like things (Dermosporidium) can be seen on their skin. Need to quarantine them thoroughly before put them to your fish tank. One of the best fish to put into a blackwater tank setup. Thanks for the great video content again.
@@SerendibAquatics Amazing video to be honest, I want to encourage you to please please please keep breeding them in captivity, they are about to be prohibited here in Colombia because they are not being found in the rivers they usually live in. Its reaaally sad, i've spent a couple days without being able to sleep because the fishing business here are not finding any and they are twice expensive as before. Thank you for helping us conserving this awesome fish, is my favourite one.
It's an interesting video but also be mindful that purchasing wild caught cardinal tetra actually helps preserve the Amazon rain forest in Brazil and Colombia. People living and fishing in these areas also protect the area they live in. Fish are caught very gently and cared for all through their journey across the planet. Besides, cardinal tetra populations boom and bust every year. The methods used don't cause over fishing. Mine were imported from Brazil for this reason. If these fisheries would no longer exist, the forests are at risk of being exploited for logging, mining and farming. An awful lot of the Amazon rainforest has already disappeared this way. This has also caused a lot of fish species to go extinct because of habitat loss. I also feed Dr. Bassleer! And occasionally live foods like daphnia or tubifex. Put live tubifex in a floating net and they'll pick off the worms falling through with a huge appetite!
@@TheRealTMar Thank you very much for your valuble input. I also agree to that point. There are much more very beautiful tetra varities there in amazon. We will try to import them for breeding. 🙏
the intros are very darn close to a deal breaker .... I cant stand videos that go on an on about what you " about to talk about " actually after typing this you are still talking about what you are going to talk about so im out
Video eka niyamai..
@@srimalsilva3568 thank you.
Hi, great video. I want to try to breed them in a 120gal tote, from you experience what would you recommend?

@@indikasilva7177 thank you.
yes my fish also the same. Best thing is 14 days quarantine before put the main tank.
It could be because of the export process, here in Colombia they do not suffer if well handled.
@@kevincetina7594 yes it is true brother.
