5 Fish You NEED to BREED in a 10-Gallon Aquarium

[@GirlTalksFish]

If I may be so bold, throw some amanos in with the mollies. They breed in brackish and live in fresh. Double whammy, potential food source, and all babies should be able to go together into their fresh tank. Also, I have sailfin mollies in my local water in the southern USA. Silver guys with black flecks. I have not harvested them, just interesting. Also, I have crystal red tail platies. Gets to looking like 101 red tail dalmatians after a while. They really like my laceleaf water sprite, and the red root floater, until they're large enough to feel less threatened. I just got rams. They laid their first set of eggs in a log, even though there are flat rocks. They were summarily eaten. By them, maybe. I keep my water at 82. Not everything in that tank likes it hot. Hot water also speeds metabolism from what I hear, which may lead to a faster end of life for some fish.

Girl Talks Fish Guppies and Platies 😊

[@ericmoreno6940]

Cool mollys are really nice fish

[@cannibalholiday]

Honey gouramis! :) The more duckweed on the surface, the better. I put a newly bought pair in the 10g and they spawned less than a day later. The babies are soooo cute.

[@GirlTalksFish]

@@joshszooofanimals5416 I totally want to try platies next!

[@OnefishTwofishROC]

One word for you...ENABLER! Lol! And I love it! Great video for anyone with that "spare 10 gallon"...which means pretty much all of us !

[@GirlTalksFish]

Lol, right?? I totally want to breed all of them this year!

[@UnfilteredAquarist]

@OnefishTwofishROC if you can do all this with just a 10gl....... image the endless possibilities with a 20gl!!!

Thank you so much I have a 10 gallon that I am board with I will use some of these love you you the best

[@GirlTalksFish]

Yes! Can't wait to hear what you breed this year.

[@graceschlafer5191]

Why does she not have more subs??? An eloquent speaker, informative and effective videos edited beautifully, and a genuine personality. Irene you are amazing. I love your vids so much

[@Mr.Plant1994]

My current breeding project I’m putting together is with 10 10 gallon tanks and 2 20 longs. I plan to breed crayfish. They are not that difficult to breed you just have to separate them in stages because they are all so cannibalistic. Gonna be a ton of fun and a hell of a setup. I want to get rusty crayfish to become more common in our local hobby. Trying to make the more naturalistic variety’s more popular.

[@justarandomdiamond2993]

Hows it going now?

[@fishfolk4059]

Love this video! German Blue Rams are amazing fish to raise. They do surprisingly well when moved on to a colony set up -- we've had 50+ in a 55 gal, all very happy, spawning regularly once they are 4 months old. Feeding some brine shrimp can be one of the helpful "triggers" to dwarf cichlids to get them spawning. Also try a large water change leading up to a full moon (crazy, I know, but it often works).

[@GirlTalksFish]

Ooo, thanks for the tips!

[@joshszooofanimals5416]

Great video and information 😊👍🏻 I’m gonna upload a video on guppies in a 10 gallon aquarium soon lol

[@liamcarter3509]

Since I live w my parents I cant have any more tanks (i have a community 16 gallon and a betta in a 5) but my dream Is to breed guppies and shrimp

[@NebulaMK]

Did anyone else get messed with when she said, “Hi, I’m Irene with girl talks fish!” I know about the change but dang I’m going to miss. “Hi, I’m a gamers wife here!” You’re the best Irene!

[@GirlTalksFish]

[@FeatherBeautiful]

I don't even have fish but I ALWAY watch! You have really good content! :)

[@GirlTalksFish]

Oh my goodness, you're too sweet!

[@teksupddg]

Mollies. great surprise add! Looking forward to following along.

[@karvytan6273]

Hi Irene! Can't stop watching your videos! Such great content! I'm currently stuck with my 10-gallon as I don't have space for anything bigger. I also made the mistake of using artificial plants instead of live ones so i am currently in the midst of ammonia and nitrite spikes. Water changes practically everyday. But I am not giving up! And my plants are otw so hoepfully that helps! Anyway just wanna thank you as I am learning a lot!

[@bentgenetics8623]

I'm trying to breed white clouds now. Have about 20 eggs, good luck wi6your breeding program. Thanks for the video.

[@hellohehe4099]

Love ur videos! U have the best info and a really relaxing voice xD. Im gonna get honey gouramis and corydoras like in ur old tank!

[@GirlTalksFish]

Thank you so much! I really liked that combo. :)

[@kerrypitt9789]

If you keep them well fed they don't eat the babies, but that means a crazy population. I have heard of the possible overpopulation but so far they seem to be self regulating. These are my favorite fish to just sit and watch.

[@GirlTalksFish]

Yes, I should've mentioned that the amount of food you give them will regulate the population! Thanks for mentioning that. :)

[@johnwood738]

Have fun, I am working with a small group of super red bushy nose short/long fin trying for a very dark red line . But it’s in a 55.

[@errk25]

I have some platinum cobra fire tail guppies growing out in a ten gallon with their mama. I had what I thought was just a couple of stray pygmy cories in there too. But I just spotted four pygmy cories in the tank. I think maybe they bred as there's lots of cover in there. I love fry of any kind.

[@cannibalholiday]

I've been keeping P. pulcher in my 55 gallon and moved them over into a 10g to breed last night. In the 55g they've never shown ANY interest in bothering the shrimp. So when I moved the honey gourami fry out of the 10g last night, I left some of the shrimp in that tank behind. This morning there were no shrimp. Just two very content kribs. Oops :D

[@tonibauer2949]

Casey Wagner aaaawwwwww. 😕

[@thelovelyjerald]

Convicts and firemouths are easy breeders , too.

[@FF-so6lb]

I think I got a pregnant balloon molly from pet store. If these fry end up being mollies I’ll be so excited. They are so cute, at first I wasn’t sure if they were guppies (b/c I have both in my fish room). As they grow up, they look completely different

[@theanimaladdiction]

Ever thought of dwarf cichlids fo that 10 gal. Jribwnsis cichlids, rams, apistos, or something like that. I wanna do that. I have electric blue rams growing out in my 55 and im thinking some apistos and kribensis to add to the community with them. Ill take the pairs out whenever I want to breed them.

[@hellopeeps4722]

Awesome video 🌱🌿🐠

[@GirlTalksFish]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@theplacetobefunnyvideos562]

i have them baloon fish them spotted and white mollies and they had babies but one fry got born yesteday but i didnt get the save it in time so sandly the one fry/fish got eaten but now ive put the pregnat fish in a breading prenant netted hang over the side in water thing so hopflly it will lay again but they bread really easly

[@-8_8-]

I am attempting breeding least killifish and pest snails (to feed my yoyos)in a 5 gallon, and have crystal red tail platies, and 2 pairs of rams, in a larger tank. They both have overflows. I am using poly to block the weirs. I am thinking of switching the poly to a tight sponge. Sorry Cory, not the wide open ones like you sell. But I do have those on my intake tubes for the big tank, and I've never had to clean them because of debris. The other thing is food. I like the Fluval food. They make some that's probably the waste that falls off the bigger pieces, judging by the size. Perfect for tiny mouths.

[@GirlTalksFish]

I've never kept killifish before, but they're also on my bucket list. There are whole fish clubs dedicated to them, so there must be something addicting about them. :)

[@jasonyang5296]

Ballon mollies are soo cute

[@GirlTalksFish]

I personally think so too. 😁

[@twunderaquatics1770]

My first fish I ever sold were sailfin mollies. Which I turned around and bought another tank with. I think I was13 years old. 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

[@GirlTalksFish]

That's awesome!

[@Mr.Plant1994]

If you want white clouds to breed you have to lower the temp to 65 or below. They are more likely to breed at those temps

[@ryanisright3559]

Platies!

[@GirlTalksFish]

Ooo, I so want to try them soon!

[@owietooneowietoall]

Im so tempted and I have 2 spare 10s but I think Im at my pet limit lol. Im also still raising up a betta spawn

[@GirlTalksFish]

Wow, congrats! You're braver than I am. :)

[@JeremyGoneWildPets]

These are great suggestions Irene! And oooh balloon mollies are so fun!

[@GirlTalksFish]

I've come to like them a lot! They're very active, they go after algae, and they definitely recognize me as the food god. 👩‍🍳

[@AnnaKim1321]

[@mantisaddict]

Awesome video very interesting

[@GirlTalksFish]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jamesgreen9372]

Thanks for the information! Jim

[@benjaminsilvert1880]

I recently stocked my tank with endlers live bearers. I thought the parents would eat the babies. They did not eat a single one. I also hoped that my white cloud mountain minnows would keep the population size in control. The mountain minnows don't pay any attention to the babies. I have just separated the females into a bigger tank, cause there would just be too many fish in the tank.

[@GirlTalksFish]

Congrats on your success! If it really gets out of control, you can feed less, re-home some adults, or get a fish who will eat some babies.

[@theanimaladdiction]

My fancy guppies just had babies. I made a vid on how to speed up the pregnancy I'm about to post. Anyway it's just too easy to breed them

[@briankepner7569]

Ella summer Everglades, dwarf pygmy sunfish. A parent can live in a jar and they lay one egg a day in the crook of a plant

[@khusnulblekty3874]

[@dynamicdeadhead]

3:06 What is that stick you’re using? How do you use it?

[@couch1596]

Great video! What do you recommend I do once the guppies start producing large amounts of fry. I plan on only having a 10 gallon tank and don’t want to overcrowd. I’d hate to kill the fry, is there any approach to this?

[@Wesley-kd9zf]

Trust the way to breed ramz are Lots of plants and shells

[@brandonlasvegas]

Great video ❗️ I think Cory is correct ⁉️ When I buy mollies and put then in my super soft water they die after two weeks 😢

[@RandySoWavvy]

brandonlasvegas yeah they’re like guppies the harder the water the better and happier they are

[@GirlTalksFish]

Ditto! I ended up using Seachem Equilibrium and some aquarium salt, and they were much happier for it.

[@remberguzman3673]

How about breeding kois or bettas??

[@nhojdan1.037]

Is this okay as a begginer soon im getting a 10 gallon tank... is it good if it's for breeding/comunity? I have 3 gallon tank right now

[@SpiritAquatics]

Hi, I have a 5 gallon. I think I'd like a betta. Can I keep anything with one? It's a new tank. Cycling for 1 week so far so is ready for fish soon. Lots of plants, wood and hiding spots. I don't like amano shrimp after they started attacking my fish in another tank. I do like cherry shrimp but don't trust a betta with them. And snails don't interest me. Any ideas?

[@SpiritAquatics]

Do you think pygmy corydoras would work?

[@rifraf6135]

@@SpiritAquatics i would say no, since corydoras need some space to roam and they like to be in groups, which 5 gallons wont allow.

[@tonibauer2949]

Rafiur Rahman/RifRaf maybe 4-5 otocinclus or Kuhli loaches. They are both very small as adults. They should be fine together and ok in the tank with a Betta if you do needed water changes. Check for temperature needs of all and put places for all to hide and plants.

@@GirlTalksFish and good for you for doing so. It seems most people have to abandon working in pet industries because of bills and overhead.
