Breeder Selection | Canary OB Peacocks & Bronze Sailfin Mollies | Polyculture

[@VacFink]

I appreciate the time in the jar or aquarium because it helps show the fish better, the handling by hand isn't a bother for me but the speed of it makes it hard to see the fish and its coloring and pastern. Seeing the fish and your explanation of why you chose them is what makes these videos great. Without the time in the jar its sometimes hard to connect you selection points to visual queues on the fish. Thanks.

[@goliadfarms7029]

You are right, but given a few months, I'll probably claim credit for displaying the fish in jars and aquaria. Charles

[@VacFink]

@@goliadfarms7029 I guess credit can go where it matters to most. The only real innovation I've ever witnessed was man eating mayonnaise out of a jar with a pocket comb.

[@Crftbt]

Charles is so great an taking the time to explain everything. :)

[@goliadfarms7029]

Y'all spend valuable time watching our videos. I don't always think of everything to say in the videos. I appreciate the opportunity to answer questions and explain. Charles

[@psychedelichippocampus6226]

Wow that male Molly was breath taking

[@goliadfarms7029]

He is a nice fish and certainly deserves to be a breeder. Charles

[@fisherguy45]

A wonderful story about your grandmother and canaries.

[@goliadfarms7029]

My maternal Grandmother was great. I, unfortunately, didn't know my paternal Grandmother since she died when my Father was eight. My Grandma doted on me and transferred to me her love of raising things. Charles

[@MasterPhotographer]

I love. Seeing your “process” for breeding, and the colors are so vibrant. It’s almost like you’re breeding a rainbow! Charles, thanks sharing, and Susie, thanks for filming. 😊

[@goliadfarms7029]

Thank you! My favorite part of what we do selecting breeders and seeing the results in subsequent generations. Charles

[@daspinmonkey]

Those mollies are gorgeous! Cheers for the video!

[@goliadfarms7029]

Thank you. I like that strain of sailfin mollies. Charles

[@cosievee]

Those mollies are incredible! Although I’ve thought that of many of your fish! :)

[@goliadfarms7029]

Thank you. We hope to get our mollies back in full production. The double whammy of Hurricane Harvey and the Texas Winter Storm really messed with our mollies. Charles

[@royalfamilypets1772]

Who knew mollies could look so beautiful!! I mean wow.. marble is very nice. Good fish keeping!! DEEP EAST OAKLAND

[@goliadfarms7029]

I think mollies might be my favorite fish. We lost a lot of our mollies to Hurricane Harvey and the 2021 Texas Winter Storm but we are setting up outside raceways to raise many of them. Charles

[@royalfamilypets1772]

@@goliadfarms7029 I mean. Very nice fish brother.

[@FoxyFoxyShazam]

Beautiful fish all around! Hearing Charles say “pretty damn colorful” brought me a lot of glee for some reason. 😂

[@goliadfarms7029]

Did I say that? There is a reason they won't let me live stream. Both the cichlids and mollies are really nice fish. Charles

[@cosievee]

That made me chuckle as well. ;)

[@Dracobear13]

Charles, your love for this shines through in every video. GOOD FISH KEEPING!

[@goliadfarms7029]

Thank you. There is nothing I'd rather be doing than working with the fish in the greenhouses or doing something on the farm. Charles

[@farmfishandfreedom2933]

Fantastic fish!

[@goliadfarms7029]

Both the cichlids and mollies are nice fish. Charles

[@rayquatics23]

Good fishkeeping to you too

[@goliadfarms7029]

You too! I cherish my time in the greenhouses. Given no other responsibilities, I would never leave the farm. Charles

[@kenithburnett8074]

Thanks for the videos and yes we do like seeing your routine and what you do daily including setting up the vats

[@goliadfarms7029]

We will continue to do that, showing the good and the bad. Charles

[@robertforrest7956]

Thanks professor Charles... 😉👍 Awesome Mollies!!!! 😘

[@goliadfarms7029]

They are very nice, big and colorful. Charles

[@tracymanning1919]

Those canary females are nice!

[@goliadfarms7029]

It is nice to have females that are also attractive. Our aquarium maintenance company customers like them because they can have pretty females and keep the males happy and displaying. Charles

[@foreverautumn2315]

Critters are good - even spiders. Used to see tarantulas, but not any more. I must be going to rain soon here, the big female spade foot toad who lives in my yard came out the other night. She was hanging out by my patio ponds, waiting for stay insects... or hoping a fish jumps out, lol...!!!

[@goliadfarms7029]

All life is good! Interesting. Our spadefoots only come out after heavy rains. Charles

[@foreverautumn2315]

@@goliadfarms7029 Rain is so localized here we'll have a storm and get nothing but dust and wind, although a mile away they get dumped on by rain. Feel sorry for the toad, a few sprinkles is enough to bring her out in the summer. She has been in my yard for 15 years or more. Often sits under the drip from the AC system at night, digs herself a shallow impression and hunkers down under the dripping water.

[@trevorgregori9667]

Those are great looking Mollies. Do you have any idea when you will have them or a similar type up on your website?

[@goliadfarms7029]

We will start processing mollies in the next couple of weeks to see how our rebuilt breeding colonies are doing. Charles

[@dirtyoldfarmhand3]

Wonderful.

[@goliadfarms7029]

Thank you. Both the cichlids and mollies are nice fish. Charles

[@Exquailibur]

the Canary yellow on those fish is very attractive, and im not a huge fan of yellow as a color. it is also nice how the females are colorful too, they would make great display fish.

[@goliadfarms7029]

Our aquarium maintenance customers like them because they can have females and color too. Male Peacocks display best if they have females to court. Charles

[@DidisFINDen]

Prettiest mollies!

[@goliadfarms7029]

Well...not the prettiest, but they compete for the title! Charles

[@circlethewagons]

The mollies are the best I've seen in a long time. I don't keep mollies anymore, due to ick. From my experience, every molly I have ever had always succumbs to Ick despite all my treatments, blue medications salt baths etc. they just die. Is it my bad luck? or are Mollies just prone to Ick? Or is it just me? guppies don't have that same problem, from my experience.

[@goliadfarms7029]

Thank you. We like mollies. The critical thing we've found with mollies is keeping ammonia at zero. I haven't found mollies to be prone to ich. Charles

[@binub100]

You should write book on fish

[@BicolBackyardAquaria]

are selling the fish that are not selected as your breeders?

[@goliadfarms7029]

Yes, unless I decide to keep one or two as reserve breeders, the rest are placed in sale vats. Charles

[@kg2nc]

I wonder why Cats and Dogs love to drink Aquarium water my two cats love it.

[@goliadfarms7029]

Oso and Maya love fish water! Of course they also love to eat fish. Your cat probably would like to eat fish too. Charles

[@rossphillips7128]

My cat will only drink turtle water nothing else. If it works for him it works for me.
