[@kathleensauerbrei5199]

Oh my goodness I hope they go through the breeding process and lay eggs and the eggs hatch again I’d love to see some babies

[@SalvadorQuinn]

You scaring me with the title 😂😂

[@NanoFishRoom8]

Ikr

[@zwilnik]

Who knows more about raising geophagus fry? Joey, or mom and pop geophagus? Find out in this exciting episode of As The Tide Turns....

[@MichaelQuinn1407]

I would of put a divider in so no other fish could get near them

[@MrWanchaleom]

I was thinking the same. Cheap, quick yet effective.

[@codiwawi911]

Definitely hope theyre divided (and the light is left on for them) next time, I don't need to see proof that "they can survive left alone" I'd rather see little fishes and watch em grow, even if it's just to be sold or alike.

[@matthewj6154]

Yeah I was thinking this the whole time. Plastic frame and flywire, easy as.

[@BC-kx5zb]

Yep, all that room and a cheap solution. A simple divider would have worked.

[@Bavaoo]

Very nice that your Geophagus spawned!

[@christianarvidsson7359]

Next time they breed, you could just split the tank with a plastic mesh. You got the length 👍 the parents can still watch over the fry and practice with some help. And you can set some tape on the lightswitch so you dont forget.

[@stoneysscapes7544]

@christianarviddson7359 • That is a great idea a safety zone with a bunch of Joeys moss and th dividers doing the job 😢

[@LRBaquatics]

Great job at documenting the process and experience! They are really good parents! It’s a fish eat fish world. I wouldn’t be surprised if some come out of the rock work…

[@jackparkin1339]

It's always best to let them at least have 1 or 2 spawns and raise them in there own first

[@thekingofdiy]

Exactly

[@andrewchapman879]

If, by chance, it happens again, I suggest plugging in a small led desk lamp near one end of the tank, so you don't have to worry about those habits in the future.

[@massimomassimo5464]

Food for the angels

[@BadlydrawnBen]

At the end of the day they are a breeding pair of chiclids they will do it again and again and again, i would give them a nice big tank and get a good batch of fry to grow on

[@shel.b.1090]

Thank you for educating us joey. I am sure they will try again xxxx

[@garycolman4993]

But surely they would have been a handful left?? if they were hundreds??

[@benmilner9672]

How much is left from that last bag of M&Ms you had?

[@qr5354]

Thanks for the advice as I needed this knowledge.

[@ligerzero8685]

I lost Some Flowerhorn fry’s due to blackout. I had multiple breeding pairs in one tank and a lot fry tanks in different stage. Couldn’t have anymore tanks but they lived for 3 week then a black out happened and the parents couldn’t protect them. Was lucky I have batteries power air pump

[@NanoFishRoom8]

It sucks losing fish

[@BUTTA170]

Did other tank mates eat them, or did the temp drop too low?

[@gavinbrown4311]

Im sorry for your loss.

[@jondoe3556]

my friends always ask me why my fish keep breeding, I say water conditions nothing else and they are JELLY lol - Fry are HARD to have especially if your tank is stocked up and moving them is a hard thing but Joey I'd move those haha or PUT a DIVIDER in the side of the tank - come on bruhhhh!

[@T-Rexed]

Don't worry they will spawn again! Also would you recommend the dim light even when there's eggs or only when there is free swimming fry? Thanks

[@charlesdavis2891]

Thanks for always sharing the good and the bad. Good luck with your fight, bro.

[@booksrdevinkevin]

Love the new tank

[@user-ep4lb8ft8g]

Hey Joey, FYI. You can stay in Manhattan next week. The LIRR goes from Penn Station to Wantagh. Right outside Mulchahy’s very easy. That way you can have a nice NYC experience. 👍

[@rockstarcooper]

If you can grab the parents before they spit out the fry it will be easy to transfer to an isolated tank and let parents raise the fry. I had geophagus red head tapajos and was able to get the parents in their own tank and just let them raise the fry until the were big enough and put the parents back in the main tank. I ended up raising over 75 fry from that one batch.

[@carloss3809]

It's a wicked tank fish will breed weather you want them to or not you know that

[@budder2626]

I've always wanted to keep wild sveni i have a school of 7 tank raised that are about a year and a half old now one of my favorite fish ever

[@TheSalient1]

Awesome video thanks for sharing this

[@DjorDeanAnjo]

Question: How do they thrive in the wild if they need lighting when taking care of their offsprings?

[@jameshunt4097]

Moonlight possibly?

[@juanchinito]

You were already aware the first time you cant spot them. Then still you were nit careful enough to always put some lights on. 🤯

[@BUTTA170]

Literally as I am looking at the algae thinking "what a healthy tank to have that much alae growing while being so new", and boom... "I know i gotta clean the algae off the glass" lol.

[@karaleeann1211]

I guess it’s time to plug a lamp in that isn’t connected to a switch! Or remove the fry, or put a divider in, or…

[@hagenhilldesign]

Sorry about your fry Dude. :( But, thank you for the lesson on lighting. We learned something new from this. It explains a lot of our own experience.

[@62873milehi420]

I bet there is fry hiding somewhere

[@kennethgriffin9770]

What are your thoughts on using egg crate light diffuser for divide the tank in 1/3’s so you don’t have to stress so much about it.

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

It’s quite common for cichlids to eat their first couple of fryes. It have happened before and will happen again.

[@aquarium.talktv]

Damn!!! I wanted them!!! 😅. PUMPED FOR FINS N FURY!! AUGUST 17th 💥💥💥

[@its_elser]

they will spawn again

[@scottgordin9709]

Don’t beat urself up over it, it happens and I’d bet they’ll be laying eggs again!

[@thekingofdiy]

I’m not at all. Usually parents eat the eggs 3-5 times before the hatch. Then eat the fry a few times until they get it right. The point of this video was how important ambient lighting is.

[@youtubeaccount3834]

Sorry to hear that

[@just-a-crayon4]

Love that tank and hope you have more fry to raise!

[@jbres909]

good evening sir been a looong time subscriber great content i am looking for your opinion on what large cichlid would you suggest for my 135 gallon thanks for your time

[@lllSherrilll]

In nature they would have had a chance, but in a tank? How truly sad.

[@hydrostream76]

wow great vid I'm hoping to see you at Fins of Fury !

[@thekingofdiy]

I’ll deff be there! It’s an event I created!

[@HeftyReefs]

She wasn't spitting them oot

[@danielvelez4001]

It will happen again soon❤❤😂😂😂

[@joelingtonmcjoule5603]

if it wasntl the lighting tthey likely died off from lack of food, you've gotta feed them pretty intensivley in the first few days. microworms/bbs in a small tank you'll have great results. if the parents suffer heavy losses early on the lose interest

[@justwho1]

great information

[@nathjohn6538]

A divider in the middle of the tank might have worked?

[@2Jim2u]

Congrats and condolences at the same time. Could a floating breeder box work in situations like that?

[@MatTheDragon]

It is better in the future to make a divider in the tank easy to handle the parents with there fry

[@rafaelrecometa8973]

Best

[@jlo3688]

EPIC TANKS

[@markbusey1593]

Its not like they wont have another batch of fry in a few more weeks!

[@ryangraham9125]

Make a mesh divider

[@kevrsv4570]

They will go again dude, trust the process and hopefully next time you'll have some survivors for the display 😎

[@mickeysr5817]

Great video 😊 Detroit Good luck

[@jazzparty7439]

🧐

[@JackDemp719]

Usually eggs can take up to a week to hatch? At least with the many central south american cichlids...

[@Kdot_osrs]

I lost 11 chilie rasboras due to lights going off.

[@terrellgaskin6073]

I would put better fish in that huge long tank. Them fish stay in on area could have put them in a smaller tank. IJS

[@gbeeshrimp]

They'll spawn again Joey

[@EFIHE]

MY GUPPIE GAVE BITH JULY 19TH

[@awcm1507]

man i found ONE single electric blue acara fry the day after i saw easily a hundred the day before and pulled it out and put it in a separate tank fingers crossed

[@tuttabob]

After the trip.. for 15k I am definitely making them breed

[@QoQReptiles]

I have a friend that used to breed geos and ones they go they will do it again. These are the mistakes that you will never do again 😅

[@briancooke2435]

I thought you knew that they held them in their mouth that's why I didn't say anything I've had them breed before for me but I also had in red jewel cichlids and fire mouth cichlids I like the African Red Jewel cichlid also they seem to get along for the most part

[@thekingofdiy]

I was trying to make the video more entertaining

[@theajpeezy13]

I get youre Canadian but its mouth brooding not broding lol

[@briancooke2435]

Check the filter they may have gotten through

[@kazBrown4350]

Awww nooooo been said maybe have a divider at the ready 😢

[@shannonstibor6967]

Timing was off. It's sad, but it's nature doing nature things, and as unfortunate as it may be sometimes and to look back at how you could do things differently, this is how you learn things. Mom was doing her thing, it was working at first and you had other things going on. Not your fault. As someone who will stay up all night researching and messing around with ways to help my tanks, fish, snails, etc if something is off, even I'm not upset with you so I'm glad you aren't beating yourself up. Good luck next week! And good luck with the next fry if they try again. $15,000 would be a nice little thank you for taking care of us, Joey from them 😂

[@alexwurse7465]

do fish not have night vision ?

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

I guess they must have out in the wild 🤷🏼‍♂️ No, obviously the don’t need any dimmer light. In the wild it’s pitch dark in the night and they manage to raise fryes, so naturrally they can and will raise fry in the aquariums. It’s only naturral too, that the first couple of egg laying is eaten by the parent fish, and it’s probably what happened here too.

[@jonathankool1997]

No. Night vision varys between species based of the kind and amount of Rods in their eyes.

[@dannyipwn1203]

Joey ! I’ve been looking for geos for so long now. I’m in Washington state. How can I get some of these for my 150g ?!?

[@TheTeamfreeup]

What part of ny are you going to be in i can recommend some LFS

[@noisyaquatics]

Damn son

[@infinitzresources7478]

Sveni sells at Rm10 here a piece... 4-5" size... Hahaha

[@thebreakingwinddialoguessh7801]

15k is very wishful thinking

[@rizla75]

aww dont cry .... they not rare at all ... aslong have males and females they lay regular ..,so soon have eggs again

[@i_need_more_coffee6050]

Why does the Fish has to be cauthe in the wild ,if a breeder has them and the fish from the breeder are more stabel . And how do you Save the Fish from power failure , do you have a generator or batteries.

[@icarlsw34]

Im thinking tank divider would have been useful. That way you could keep the angels separate from the fry.

[@thekingofdiy]

If I were aiming to breed them and was interested in taking the scape apart, sure!

[@Seaassassin]

Hey Joey You will probably get canceled because of this video. I promise for the first ten seconds of the video I tough you were kidding with that scientific name. I could have sworn you were talking about some other geo Phagus 😂😂.

[@michaellondon9238]

hi

[@tylertran93nsx]

Theres a thing called tank divider, cant believe you let them all died and didint watch them like your own babies.

[@rhondafitzpatrick1646]

couldn't you put a divider in the tank next time? give mom and dad 3ft... just a thought.

[@Edward..de..lanndo]

Talking of a little dim...

[@TheFROST513]

First

[@Pontus_To]

Joey killed 300 fish in 1 night
