‎ Breeding fish is one of the most enjoyable parts of the fishkeeping hobby. Let's talka about how to create an ideal environment for raising baby fry. Most fish are egg layers, livebearers, or mouthbrooders, and some species even display parental care. However, at some point, the baby fish will need to fend for themselves, so add lots of plants, hardscape, and hiding spots so they can escape from predators. Plus, feed them tiny foods that will help them grow fast and healthy.

Hi is it shrimp safe and available in the uk? Cheers mate

Mine was a black Molly too! Got me loving the hobby for over 50 years I’ve never been without a tropical fish tank.

[@jarrodsteele4868]

My CPD's are breeding in a heavily planted community tank. Super exciting! Life finds a way.

[@DannysAquariums]

I really enjoyed seeing my Kribensis fry grow up. Breeding fish in general is fun!

[@ArchangelHornet]

omg thanks for mentioning to start on small tank get their appetite going and gradually increase the tank. i seriously believe this is one of the untold secrets of successful fish keeping. this i believe is one of the secrets in getting fish to eat better! everytime a fish of mine slows down eating, i put them to a smaller tank and get them to eat better till they get to a glutonous way of eating then I increase the size of its tank. i myself usually start on 10gal, goes 20 then to the big tank. that way they know me, they know the routine, they know where to find the dropped food. and yes i make it consistent where i drop the food too so they can catch it immediately and prevent the filter from sucking most of em up.

I'm am beyond excited to see fry from my Celestial Pearl Danios!

Good timing! My fish just had babies today! (It was a surprise to me) 😂

Watching this for my future apisto fry

[@Jagthunder1]

What about once they’ve already been born into the main community aquarium? I have a 36 gallon bow front with lots of plants and rock structure. My mollies came from pet store pregnant. 3 days after I put them into my only tank I own, they started having the babies. How do I feed and raise them in that tank? Every video I watch is like a breeding type video where someone is set up to keep everything separate. I have 8 grown up mollies, neon tetras , pleco and blue Ram that all share this tank. What about us newbies? I’ve got no clue other than I’ve crushed up my pellets and flake into powder and hoping they can find it when it reaches the bottom where they are 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🙏🙏

[@Shakodancer16]

I have basically made my own concoction of foods. I have the fry food from coop for my babies but for everyone it has flakes, micro pelletes Betta pellets, and shrimp pellets. Everyone will eat everything no matter what!

[@kasperaquatics]

Thank you for sharing, we can always learn more that helps us in the hobby.

how did you know i needed this video thank you

[@piercett917]

Hey cory on your comment about having an appropriate size tank. Where does it become an issue of stunted growth because of a tank too small with too many fish?

[@ricardodeleon5065]

One day I saw white little round things everywhere, on my moss balls on the plants, on the glass. I got so worried I did not know what it was, or what to do, if it was going to harm my fish, lol it was panda cory eggs.

[@sharonjack8582]

Good video!!! Thanks!!!😊

[@TheRealEvilSink]

The easiest and most hands-off way is to have a established tank with a working ecosystem, where the fish can feed themselves. I have accidentally raised hundreds of babies, i am in the process of trying to find homes lol.

[@peterbedford2610]

Took two goldfish out my barrel pond 2 months ago. Forgot about the pond .....checked it and there is at least 50 little black fish that are about a half inch long. Eating algae. I guess

[@decorativeaquarium]

Thanks a lot for the sharing

[@lruddy8820]

Ive never ‘fed’ baby fry i just feed the tank like normal and i get lots of babies reach adulthood

[@tonyadams4726]

Thanks for the tips I actually wanted to put the eggs in a 20 gallon just for the worry about waste. What about substrate I want to do Cories(fell in love with them by accident lol) so I was putting them on a sand substrate

[@missouriman197237]

Great video

[@brianholdridge1860]

I am an accidental fish daddy or is it fish grandfather. My Cherry Barbs in one tank and Hillstream Loaches in another tank are baby factories. Both are community tanks with plants, driftwood, and rock piles for the babies to hide until they get big enough not to be food.

So quick question so I just bought a 55 gallon tank iv been using a 29 gallon tank for awhile now but I have glowfish tetra angelfish guppies etc catfish glow sharks is it good to have different type of fish in the same tank or should they all be in different tanks ?

It would be cool if you toured a brine shrimp company. How are they making billions of eggs that dont hatch? Or a fish food company walk through That would be cool

@@Ilovetogame195 hi yah, same same thing is happening in my tank, but unfortunately only 10 of the fry survived, I believed I separated them too early from the parents. I’m on my second set of fry, I left them for 3 weeks before separating them but their not growing as fast as they should and a few have died. Do you have any tips for me.
