Solid information, with spoken citations! The absolute gold standard for informative videos. Bravo, and well done.

I have golden wonder killies, and they are beautiful fish. Though, they beat the tar out of each other if given the chance and yes, jump out of the tank. They are super easy to spawn, mine are now 4th generation. I just transfer floating plants between tanks and their eggs hatch, it’s always by accident

I got a dozen rosy reds and quarantined them and used the aquarium co op quarantine trio and they all survived and are still doing well without a loss 2 years later

Sounds like your tank is too sterile. Those fish need all the wild bacteria, micro fauna and funk that is found in nature. They had nothing to forage on in your tanks. Commercial fish food is junk.

I got about 70, my kou kept eating em 😂 but they ARE his food tho so no biggie

These guys eat cyanobacteria! What other fish, shrimp, or snail that you know of that eats cyanobacteria?? I had a huge cyanobacteria problem and these guys worked relentlessly to keep it under control. Constantly picking on it throughout the day on driftwood and large rocks.

I'm thinking they may be a better to "Sea Monkeys". They are very active and very easy to keep alive and reproduce.

Great for garden ponds. Goto variety add to goldfish and koi

mann get back on youtube i enjoyed watching your video alot, im going out today to buy rosy reds

I'm new to keeping wcm, just subscribed, impressive video, what really made me stop to subscribe though was when you suggested I check out WC Dynasty, I thought that was really really cool of you and as I was about to look them up I thought, "oh, wait, I should subscribe, this guy's really in it for the community." Thank you!

Very informative, thank you 👍🏻

Great video. Thanks for giving them the love!

I'm currently keeping 10 in a tank with 4 tiger barbs, all are happy and healthy.

good stuff, very informative. would be cool to try.

I would def buy healhy bred rosys from you

In my experience with skinny disease I've found the following to be dramatically helpful. I don't know what part of this adopted procedure does the trick but.. Identify illness (nearly always present what appears to be collapsed or sunk in throat. Immediately isolate to prevent spread but to also stop any competition for food. Increase oxygenation. Feed seed shrimp without restriction for about 2 days, this is high protein and acts as a dieretic helping cleanse the bowel. Then change to high fat high protein flake and feed it to its fill about 5 times a day till it's back to healthy weight. I've never had it reoccur after this. I usually do this for 2 to 3 weeks before putting it back with others, then I watch closely to make sure it isn't underfeeding. It seems they get too weak to compete, isolate themselves and starve out while picking what is essentially dust off the floor of your tank. Hope this helps someone as it has saved my ptsmrt fish numerous times.

Hi,Gaudgeon Peacook killi fish,thanks

Thank you for the well summarized lesson, sir

Can you do a video on the red shiner?

I agree, these are great fish. I keep them outside year round, they live about three years, and get pretty chunky. Fun fish to watch from above, too bad they are so badly treated in the hobby. I think those who use them would rather pay a bit more, so that they may offer healthy food to their pets. Nice video, thanks!

I live in Vermont and bought 5 rosey minnows 5 years ago for 10 cents each. I bought them as feeder fish for my 500 gal outdoor goldfish pond. I now have about 30 of them and they are about 2 inches long and happy AF.

I got scuds by accident too and they totally infected my shrimp tanks and I had to start all over.

One of my minnows died today and I feel so awful and I don’t know if I was feeding them enough and i just wanna cry

Do they eat fungus biofilm?

I just found some while fishing from snagged lake plants. I found a bunch of small green ones and two medium sized tanish orange ones.

I want to add Rosy Red Minnows to my outdoor pond in Northern Virginia, but am afraid of introducing disease. Is there a good source for healthy Rosy Red Minnows?

Since it looks like theres a picture of an Medaka Yo-kihi? on this video I thought I'd ask a question. Some pictures for sale online are brilliantly orange while others are washed out, have very little color, & are more transparent. Is this due to good strain vs bad strains, male vs female, and/or can these brilliantly colored fish wash out and loose there color when they're stressed or not doing well? Thanks Again for The Video & if You or any other viewers can answer this for me.

Hi Sony, just stumbled into your video & really enjoyed your information. Had the wild type years ago. I've been researching small coldwater fish & decided I'm going to try Gold WC's. My goal is to start small & see if I can improve the gold coloration.

Just starting my white cloud breeding project thanks for the video ❤

Great job i have a blast doing stuff like this. Keep up the great work sonny

Used to study genetics? Im sold

I only have one angel fish 🐠 however everytime I purchase new angle fish my exsisting angle fish keep on kill new angle fish what should I do?

I've found medicated fish food really helps for rasing minnows and wild caught bluegill. Also reccomend a mix of Para salt mixed with prazipro. Seems to hold up well. Fishbendazol works great as well had great success with it.

Very good

nice video. Im just beginning my adventures in breeding egg laying cherry barbs. Do cyclops copepods harm eggs?

Very informative and well documented video 😊. Worth watching

Excelente information I ve never see such detaliled explanation, best facundo from Argentina

Really love the dedication and hard work you put in

Some pointers: salt is a great way to treat parasites. The adults can get a salt bath when they get home from the store and you can add a few teaspoons to the tank. As for fry rearing... your green water setup was not nearly green enough. The fish will not eat the algae cells, only filter feeders can. So you need little plankton to eat the algae and the fry will hunt that... which means you can't even filter a green water tank at all. They had too much empty space to roam with not enough food. They need to be completely surrounded by food to get enough. An infusoria culture (paramecium) is just the ticket. Then you can progress to vinegar eels and baby brine shrimp or daphnia. Egg is a no-go since it will foul the water without filtration. Hope that helps, good luck

Nice video but I just want to say hardiness of rice fish varies a lot based on different factors. Longfin types always need heaters. Many new fancy varieties coming out of Japan need heaters. In most ways they are very like goldfish or guppies, the simplest varieties that have been around a while and the species are obviously very hardy just like comet goldfish, mosquito fish, etc, but super-fancy goldfish and guppies are sometimes a huge pain to keep alive even in ideal aquarium conditions.

Last year I added around 5 dozen from the local persmart to my pond. Only about 9 survived and made it through winter. Right now I have several dozen babies growing and living well in my pond, with koi, goldfish and a frog who made my pond home. I don't know how more haven't gotten eaten but they are so fun to watch and doing well so far!

I really like them. A few years back I had an aquarium with just a few Rosy Red minnows in it and they were so lively and I really enjoyed keeping them.

Great video, I bought 25 from a koi pond company for a new pond I put in my garden in new Mexico. I put them in about 6 months before I added goldfish just to be sure my water quality was good. I must of got lucky because I only lost 5. After a year the only problem I’m having is that they seem to over be over populating my pond. Not sure what to do about that? I agree with you that these little guys are amazing fish. They seem to handle a wide range of water temperatures. They also keep the pond free of mosquitoes. Do you know if they will slow down on their breeding since they have established a good colony?

i see you have some long fins with a different order of red and yellow areas in dorsal

Minute 2:00 That is a endlers fish , is not a guppy

Awesome vid! How’s the breeding going?

yeah these are great i do find keepers in the UK become a little lazy with them but i have kept them in ponds too

What happened to the channel. I just stumbled into this very hidden gem only to find out it's been inactive for 4 months. I hope you are doing well thse are some really good videos. Very informative and I enjoy them as well!!

Me gustaría conseguir a estos pequeños pero aquí en España no los encuentro.

Hi, great video. I have a question. Can water temperature curb or increase aggression ?
