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.

@@GonzaAH10 Thank you

Brother content is the most important thing here. Thank you

Why not?

@@indikasilva7177 thank you indika.

Thank you.

Thank you.

@@sydneysangels great. Please update us about your breeding projects further. Thank you.

@@dulithashanuja3674 Thank you

@@Dumiaq ok. Please give the credits to serendib aquatic youtube channel.

@@SerendibAquatics Thank you so much!

Yes. You are correct.

The purple I talked about I always reminded with 2 or 1 dominant male and the 6 females. The males are very aggressive towards each at least that's my experience

@@adrianzammit4990 what is the tsnk size and what is the total number of live stock in that tank. Pencil fish are bit aggrassive only when they have breeding behaviours according to my experience. But males will fight .. with enough space and dense vegitation will keep the less dominant one in their protection. Daily feed them atleast 2 times. Then they will do good. But as a fact wild cought pencil varities will take long period of time to seattle in a home aquarium.

@@adrianzammit4990 thank you.

Thank you.

Community planted tank 120p Female feeding tank until full of eggs 30p and 60p. Breeding tank 30p. When you breed small tank may be more effective.

Thank you

@@victorjohansson6168 ok beother. This is the 2nd vedeo of my L46 pleco breeding project. My 1st video contains the triggering procedure for spawning. But suggest to go through all 3 vedeos. This all 2 videos about breeding. It is not worth to tell about breeding. That is why i prepare these videos to guide for successful breeding through all difficulties.

@SerendibAquatics "the shocking truth about breeding L46" get out of here!!

@victorjohansson6168 Thank you.

@@victorjohansson6168your tripping bro 😭😭 this is a perfect follow up video to his part 1

Yes agree with you . Thank you very much for share your valuble knowledge with us. We need much more input with your experience. Thank you.

Thank you.

@@greenmachinesweden actually it may be not there. But they will live well in my tank

@SerendibAquatics And they do fine in my unheated tank that goes down to 5c in winter. However they do not breed during that period. In summer they go outdoors in a black tub that goes up to 22-23 degrees in peak of summer. Then they breed like crazy. I cant help to wonder what keeping medaka in unnatural hot water does to the metabolism and life span? There are studies on koi and it affects life span greatly.

@greenmachinesweden brother i agree with you. Medaka will thrive in asian contries that naturaly have high temperatures also. Yes as you mentioned that high T may be a cause of reduce lifespan of the fish. According to my expeeience medaka can easily tolerate wide range of water parameters.

@@rogermorgan9877 yes, they will live together.

Most probably it will provide the best climate for them.

@@praveenvenkin1366 yes brother. Bettas are strong fish. We can do like that also.

Thank you brother.

@@michaelhall9339 check in local fish shops brother. If not available in local shops please let me know.

@@kfdugdsjksedokqdlfdnh2620 congratulations ! Thank you.

@@indikasilva7177 thank you.

@@dulithashanuja3674 thank you.

@@100presi7 no.never. Keep the egg yolk part in the fridge. You can use it for 2 days. Every 3rd day you should take new egg yolk. Or if possible daily.

@@SerendibAquatics Perfect thank you!!!

@@100presi7 thank you

Thank you. It is already in my bucket list. When i have the fish i will do a detailed breesing guide.

@@100presi7 at day 1 free swim of fry. Should remove the male

@@SerendibAquatics wouldn’t the male start eating them when hatching specially if it is a new dad? I got scared cause i see him picking on the nest too much. I just removed it. They lied the eggs 28 hours ago 😅 did i made a mistake?

@@100presi7 no.no.it is ok. Keep without dad. It is ok. Be patience

They will free swim tomorrow. No worries.

@@100presi7 could you please give me an update about your breeding project?

@@sabinekatsavrias4422 i will correct it bro. Thank you

Thank you brother. I will do a quarantine vedeo.

Thank you brother.

@@madusank2424 thank you. Not for selling brother.

@@SerendibAquatics ගන්න පුළුවන් තැන් කියන්න පුලුවන්ද

@@EyezLikaFox̌ could you please keep a breeding mop in the tank and remove the moss. Otherwise they will lay eggs in everywhere then you will not be able to collect eggs. When you put the mop then everyday you can take the mop out from the tank and check. Then you will find some eggs

​@SerendibAquatics i wish I could take the moss out but its attached to several things and then my neocaridina would not be happy. I do have a spawning mop in there but they've shown no interest in it. Just with the moss and some other live plants. 🥺

@@EyezLikaFox̌ then we can use another method to breed them. 1) please take males and females out from the main breeding tank. 2) feed them in separate tanks. Males and females in separate tanks. 3) remove other fish from your moss tank. Shrimps are ok and keep them in the tank. 4) after 10 days. You can put the males and females to the moss tank and next day you can do a 30 % water change. Then they will breed . After seen the breesing behaviour, next day you can remove adult fish. Then fry will raise in same tank.

​@@SerendibAquatics wow ty for taking the time to give me such thorough advice!! Unfortunately.. I only have 2 tanks. My 55g community tank. Which have my 1.2 blue eyes, 10 cardinal tetras, 2 brass tetras, 2 hillstreams, 3 Cory's 2 otos and 3 kili clowns and a bunch of shrimp. I just set up a 5g to breed blue jelly neos and figured if I get eggs, I'd put them in the 5g to grow out. So I dont have the tanks to separate my fish 😢

@@EyezLikaFox̌ then increase the density of moss. Then some fry may be survive

Yes we can.

Ok i will do it in upcoming vedeos. Thank you

@@mohdamiruddinbinramlidoa thank you for your valuble words.

@@EyezLikaFox̌ yes they will cross breed. Fry are much more pretty. When you mix red neon blue eye with spotted blue eye you can hace babies with redish pectoral fins and spotted body and much more varients in between both species.

But the only problem is when the pure blood line break we can't predict the gene expression of babies. It may be vary with huge range.

@@EyezLikaFox̌ thank you very much .

@@tracys.6033 thank you. Go ahead with group of 8 or more they will breed for you. Good luck !

@@indikasilva7177 thank you. We will do a breeding project on coral red pencil near future.

@@fishlifetv1617 thank you. Male should remove after 24 hours of egg laying process. Can keep up to 48 to 72 hours according the behaviors of the male. If male is continue to guard the fry, better to keep until free swim of the fry. In my case male try to eat fry. Then i removed him bit early.

@@SerendibAquatics copy on this, many thanks!

@@thisisafact9181 brothere it is available in normal pet fish stores here in sri lanka.

@@SerendibAquatics Thanks for the reply , but shops I know always say out of stock or unavailable , that's why I was looking for someone who do deliveries

@@thisisafact9181 where are you from ?

@@thisisafact9181 brother usually with any new planted tank shipments they will come. But due to hight dimand it will Out of stock early. Here in most of pet fish stores have CPD

@@SerendibAquatics yep that's the case , every time I ask for them either they are out of stock or unavailable

@@thisisafact9181 where are you from?

@@Ebi-iu2bn thank you.

If it is used tank you should keep the tank and all decorations dry atleaset 48 hours. Then you can use the tank. In this vedeo we are talking about treatment for the diagnosed ICh.
