I remember being a kid and making hundreds of dollars breeding fish, danios, bettas, plecos (spawned guramis in my mom's footbath) had a whole ass setup in the basement Styrofoam boxes and aquariums everywhere, pure joy, your videos make me feel that way again♥

[@juliemcgugan1244]

I made 6 grand breeding shrimp during the pandemic. It is a great hobby! I only needed 2 tanks, both on a shelf in my room.

[@jackofalltrades0001]

Thank you for still posting the video. If it was perfect everytime, I would constantly be asking myself why I am not getting the same results. This is super helpful to see.

[@mhunt7843]

Your “fails” are what people need to see. Besides, while I understand why you are calling it a fail, you still tried and got something all while showing us something. We learned do you didn’t fail. Love your videos.

[@osborndegrandez6729]

I just want to say a huge thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience in fish breeding. Your dedication and passion are truly inspiring! I'm new to breeding myself, and your content has been a fantastic resource to help me get started here in Kenya. I’d really love to connect and maybe even chat with you to learn more, especially from someone as experienced as you. It would mean a lot if you could get back to me-looking forward to hearing from you!

[@desireeperkins7352]

I don't have anywhere else to post this! I just completely accidentally have baby fish! I broke down a tank, put a wad of moss in a bin with tank water and set it aside for well over a week maybe close to 2 weeks. Went to deal with the moss tonight and found 40 babies! They are either thread fin rainbows or dwarf rainbows. So excited. Hopefully I don't kill them moving them to a better situation. There was just too much yuck at the bottom of the bin, no filter and no heater. It is a miracle. Maybe not but it feels like it! Yay! Fingers crossed!

[@S.Trades]

Congrats! Exciting stuff! 💪💪💪💪💪Can you hatch out bbs? Gives them the best start!

[@desireeperkins7352]

@@S.Trades fingers crossed. I moved them to the 40 gallon tank that I broke down. Its new purpose is a nursery.

Does it have a filter? Otherwise, 50% water changes each day! Best of luck!

man the fish community is very chill mean while in some big internet Dramas, i mean this is just keeping fish who cares i realy love the community keep up the great work nick loving the breeding videos ! : )

Yeah, the number of channels I have unsubscribed from over the past few months, due to all of the politics and religion encroaching on their unrelated content. I just want to enjoy my hobbies! I'm not interested in engaging in politics and religion on youtube, thanks!

Put a radio in your fish room playing 247, constant out side noise helps fish stay stimulated.

[@steve-adams]

The mesh! Damn, should have thought of this ages ago. Thank you for that. 4:37 They are really really cool! I wish I could find short finned zebras here though; they're impossible to find despite checking for years. Every failure in this hobby tends to translate to a success in terms of learning. As in most things. This is great information to share.

[@seangere9698]

Try using granny grating. The plastic grid that you find in the sewing section of arts and crafts stores. It works so much better. All you have to do is get some PVC pipe cut 2-4 cm / 1 to 2 ince long pieces. I glue a stone inside the pipe to weigh them down. Drill a hole through one end and zip tie the grating to the top of the pipe, letting them stand vertically. Then, place them in the bottom of my trays or buckets in your case. Fill up the tray so there is 8 to 10 cm 4 to 5 inches of water over the grating and add the fish. This works great for just about all small free swimming spawning fish. I use this mostly for neons, glowlight, and cardinal tetras, but I have had huge success with killing fish as well as danios of several species.

[@S.Trades]

Huge success with killing fish? 😅 Well done! 💪💪💪💪

[@amx1820]

We used to do this with plastic rectangular pots, jackfruit leaves and pearlweed during the covid lock down 😅

[@kaisac.]

In my climate, im able to have zebra danios outside year round in my goldfish pond. I think your bucket method is perfect for someone like me. Ill just be breeding mine to add to my pond, dont need hundreds. I think it's cool you showed the trouble you had, and getting a lower batch.

[@jtkeepingfish]

I’m actually currently breeding some zebra danios too! So great timing for the video!

[@kaileemccurdy]

I love that you share the good and the not so good. Keeping it real

[@garageaquatics2023]

Actually . . . still a success. Great instruction s and lessons, Nick. Thanks! ~Ron

[@jamievetter601]

I use a far easier method. I keep the Danios in a heavily planted tank until l want babies. I remove the adults, turn off the lights and wait. The fish will hatch over a period of weeks. Use minimum soft light for a few hours each day until all are hatched. I also keep ghost shrimp in the tank to keep the tank clean. It works every time.

[@user-hq6ds6ty8g]

Do you have a video on that process?

[@Leahslittlepatchofparadise]

Good on you mate, I love your honesty and integrity ❤ Also, all of my beautiful rainbow fish, and shrimp that I ordered from you are absolutely gorgeous and doing great❤

[@JulieSimmonds-z2j]

This is a great video, completely authentic. It doesn't always go swimmingly, even for experts!

[@ChucksFeeesh]

You have truly become a master, I enjoy your videos so much. I've learned a ton. Ty ty.

[@PeterPanbe]

I know nothing about fish, but do know a little bit about plastics/physics. Would it be possible your mesh net (nylon) was repelling water, causing a thin layer of air around the holes, and as a result the eggs would not easily "fall through" the net. I would experiment with netting in other material (that are not water-repellant), or netting with larger "holes"

[@jimmied2838]

For someone breeding for their self this is great. As far as breeding for profit probably not the most efficient way but still if u set up multiple buckets u could end up with a lot of fry. Great video

[@OpticAgressivo]

Its these type of videos that keeps people interested in the hobbie!! Gives us new goals 😂 keep it up

[@mattc7782]

Not a fail, just another step in the learning curve

[@nemanjanenadic1192]

Thank you. I also failed with breeding super easy fish so many times and I was wondering why me because everyone was saying that it is super easy. I found out the hard way that I actually have to make lots of effort and give into it as much as I can even if it is easy to breed. It was really hard to go through all of that process. This hobby is definitely demanding in many ways even if you just want to have a nice looking aquarium, whereas producing more of the fish and plants is much harder but it’s one of the things that makes it fun. Nice to see that I am not the only one who fails sometimes.

[@jayhman2143]

i love keeping fish simple !!

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

2:36 I can relate to that.

[@EJSKATE1]

Bahaha

[@WetCoastAdventures]

You rock.

[@krzysszwajnos5511]

I did this method with my celestials. I recommend catching them in the dark then putting them in the bucket with the light on. As soon as the light turns on they get active and shove themselves into the moss. After that I left the moss in the bucket and left the fish eggs to hatch. I use the mesh to separate eggs and the fish but I found that my trouble some and the eggs would get stuck on the mesh and get damaged or impossible to find. My yields before I removed it were 3-8 hatches after I put in 4 females 2 males in the bucket everyday. I found better success when the mesh was gone. I just checked the bucket and I so far have 10 with 2 more days of fish getting ready to hatch

[@markvonwisco7369]

30-50 fry seems like a very successful spawn relative to the number of parents to me

[@bongjamesbong00420]

I have no trouble breeding them, the problem is growing them and having good numbers of them after a month

[@NYGOLD]

The advantage of breeding egg layers on a bucket is, after you remove the parents you can swirl the water in the bucket and all the eggs will gather in the center. At this point you can use a turkey baster and suck the eggs up easily or just make all the eggs dizzy. LOL

[@strider5119]

I dunno if they're the same as other fish, but I've found with a few that the first spawn or 2 has a low survival rate and it improves over time. I had this specifically with small plecos though (BN, Pepps and L397). First batch would end up with maybe 25% surviving, next was a good 50-60%, everything after that was 90+

[@NoCO2fishtank]

I just had a single blue Danio and a bronze cory pop up in my spare tank 😂 probably because I moved some foxtail and must have grabbed an egg or 37. I'm just wondering how only one of each survived.

[@kevindorekens]

I tried this a few times with my zebra danios. It usually worked, but most of the offspring ended up deformed once they got a bit larger (already with the stripes). I think the parents had weak genes. The parents have died by now at about 2 years old. Maybe I'll try again later.

you should put a little monitor in the bucket with netflix on.

Zebra always work well no matter how you do it but those other are pretty hard to make do it. I'm trying that for almost a year now and it's not working I tried many ways to do it but they are not like zebras, zebras are super easy others not ..

[@jennysoderstrom]

So interesting

[@randomman4938]

Are the Pearl Danios known by something different in the US? When I Google, I only get Celestial Pearls, which is a totally different species. I was gifted some danios a year ago, and based on your video, I am sure they are the same as the Pearl danios in your video

[@justinread4381]

Here is a tip from 30 plus years ago. Try about 100mm of large marbles as a base. The eggs fall through and you should get a huge spawn. Side note, why danios ? They are cheap worthlessness fish.
