3 Fish that You Can Breed by Accident!

What are your thoughts on the easiest fish to breed? All three of these fish bred for me with virtually no effort, but fishkeeping isn't always easy. Please feel free to share your questions or responses in the comments down below. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next one!

Thanks for the nice video mate. I love my fish keeping videos that show fish more than the presenter. I remember when I was about 9 or 10 we had a community tank with all the stuff walmart sold. One day we found a goldfish fry in the filter. Ever since then it's piqued my interest. Now I have 5 species of plecos breeding, betta hendra, giant danios, neos and jae barbs. It's such an exciting feeling seeing the fish spawn and raising the fry.

Thanks for watching! And that's awesome. I've only bred one plecos species this far, but I'm hoping to breed more in the future. What species have you bred?

[@StonerInMN]

We had convic cichlids in our flowerhorn tank and they bred it was really cool.

[@August_Duwell]

That's awesome! I've never kept convicts, but I've seen them breeding in fish stores before. Very cool to see.

I've seen most of my fish species showing breeding behavior. Why you don't nearly ever see babies is besause eggs are getting eaten as soon as they come out.

[@August_Duwell]

Very true. I've had success with a few tetras and corydoras with lots of cover in the tank. What species have you observed the behavior in?

[@mr.octopus6972]

@@August_Duwell Of course it goes without saying, any livebearer which have a Huuuuuge advantage over other species. They are the only one as of right now that make babies for me. Other than those I've seen pink neon tetras doing their thing, corydoras, pearl galaxy danio, emerald danio... well I could continue but like I've said they have pretty much all done it. My problem comes from my bad tendency to overcrowd comunity tanks which leaves almost no chance to any egg layer to reproduce. I know for a fact that my corys have laid eggs on the glass because I can still see the spot where they where glued but I have yet to see one egg... Tho this might change since I'm planning on having a fish room this summrer and multiply my tanks to have only one specie per tank and d.i.y. commodities to easily fetch eggs.

@@mr.octopus6972 Wow that sounds awesome. Yeah I like the idea of getting like 6 fish, breeding up to the hundreds and then loading a display tank with them. I think I'll try it with my fancy guppies in the near future.

moved 7 white clouds to a 55 gallon i was prepping for a cherry shrimp tank, kept them in there for about a week then moved them out. found about 12 babies, at first i thought they were copepods with tails? i keep the light on nearly 24/7 and feed crushed flakes every now and then. i hope they survive!

[@August_Duwell]

They're so tiny, right? I'm pretty confident they'll survive. Watch out for your shrimplets though, the white clouds might use them as an occasional snack as they get bigger.

[@tunary_pp9955]

Great video! What is the name of the plant in the thumbnail ? It looks awesome

[@August_Duwell]

Thank you! It is Anacharis...also known as Elodea. I like it because it looks nice, grows fast, and my herbivorous fish will snack on it if they're hungry and I haven't fed. Thanks for watching!

[@Tawanpawatt]

Can you share about fish that dont need oxygen ?

[@August_Duwell]

All fish require oxygen to survive, but if you're asking which have less demand, I'd say white clouds are a good bet. They don't need a heater, and cooler water has a higher oxygen capacity which would lead to less need for water agitation. Some species like bettas and other Anabantoids can also breathe from the surface, making them potentially good options for a low-oxygen environment. In general, though, I highly recommend at least an air stone for any aquarium you may be setting up. It can only do your fish good.

[@MrTodfoulk]

Anabantiformes bro all have auzillaty breathing organ. big assed lung fish too. fish rock!

[@MrTodfoulk]

nice channel/content....i will be a smart ass and say discus, oscars, whiptails, depending on water conditions lol yeah they all surprised me too. i still cant sex an oscar. anyone? :) discus r easy.

[@August_Duwell]

Thank you! I'd say with Oscars you probably won't know for sure until they display spawning behavior.
