Nano Fish from the Genus Boraras - Vol 1. Boraras naevus and Boraras micros

[@michaelmadsen5077]

Hi there. Great video. When are the other videos of boraras coming 🙂

[@coolwater411]

If u do a 1 hour video on all 6 Boraras species I will WATCH IT I have a tank dedicated to them!!!

[@johnnybest6386]

What makes u different from the rest is that u show the wild habitat and that important because not alot of people have the privilage that u have .... Thank you Rock onnn❤❤

[@chrislukhaup]

thanx a lot !!

[@ShrimpSanctuary]

such content deserve more watch and attention because these are quality information necessary for aquarist and thriving of the fishes. Love all the Boraras!

[@TheFishRoom]

Thanks for producing such a brilliant video Chris.

[@chrislukhaup]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DansFishau]

Excellent video. I keep a small group of 5 Boraras brigittae that I love. I have mine for about a year and a half and it has taken a long time to get their colours to be vibrant. I also found that moving them to a small tank (40cm) made them much happier than the large 4 foot tank i kept them in originally. Boraras brigittae are very difficult to obtain in Australia. I'm very much looking forward to your video on Boraras brigittae and watching the entire series. Thanks for the great content

[@chrislukhaup]

thanx and greetings to Australia..i need to come back in the next 1-2 years..would like to film the Spiny crayfish

[@darrylmoore5847]

That was great, I am looking forward to the next video.

[@damirl77]

Your macro shots are beautiful. Boraras are my favourite fishes and can't wait for your next video!

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

Cheers from my fish room channel in Chicago! Tiny, lovely jewels. Thank you for this insightful video essay on the Boraras.

[@intothefuture1.618]

Was looking for a more comprehensive take on these unique species, loved the video, great work!

[@joekollar9582]

Looking forward to the rest of this series. Boraras brigittae is such a spectacular fish. I keep about 12 in a 20 gallon long (75 L). I want to add more to the shoal. Maybe I'll add some of these other species for a cool variety.

[@jonisolis9645]

Thank you for sharing these delight little ones with us! I like videos that are not too long. This long is great!

[@chrislukhaup]

thanx a lot for letting me know 🙏

[@courtneyt800]

Thankyou Chris for everything you do.

[@chrislukhaup]

thanx for your support

[@IndoorEcosystem]

Brilliant video on such a great group of fishes.

[@Thekaysun]

First genus I really got attached to when returning to keep fish. I've seen Boraras Micros be referred to as 'yellow polka dot rasbora'.

[@chrislukhaup]

That is interesting..i have to check on that..

[@MZUNGUWILLY]

Hallo Chris. I could react on this in German, but i think English is better so everybody understands. In the Netherlands we call B.uropthalmoides the Glasrasbora. For the micros i would want to suggest the name Common Rasbora, as they are mainly colourless. Actually these little fish belong to the Danionidae, so they are more related to even Danio's then even the Rasbora's. In our shop we always had them on tapwater to, GH 9, KH 5, pH 7.4. I think it is important to know if they were wildcaught or farmbred for the acclimatising. Sunda Danio can be more sensitive indeed. To my personal experience most of the nano fish are actually very hardy comparing to much bigger fish. We had a whole wall with only nanofish in the shop.

Asante.

Chirs, love all the things you share!! Get to learn something everytime!!!!❤ And live vicariously through your travel thank you

[@chrislukhaup]

Thanx for following.

[@BiotopeAquariumTV]

Thanks Chris

[@robertfaber6796]

Well done.

[@TarasTankFriends]

Really great video on these beautiful tiny fish! 🙂👍

[@deeppeacenature265]

This inspires me to have them again! ❤

[@chrislukhaup]

thats great ..i really love them. i think they are one of the most beautiful Nano Fish...

[@jimyupangco9138]

Hi Chris. Thank you so much for making & sharing this video. I certainly learned a lot and will adjust my tank parameters & habitat with the insights you have shared in mind. 🙏🏼❤✌🏼

[@FrancoisBarbier-d8d]

Such a nice video. Very informative. I like being able to see each individual scale! When do you release the next part?

[@begenes]

Very informative, and very interesting. Thank you for an excellent video.

[@johnnybest6386]

I love how explain things thats hard for us dummies to know but you make it simple to grasp in a short style..... thank you king

[@ViceArancibia]

Sehr Schön. When is Merah video coming out?

[@MeowtroidPrime]

I've kept a school of ten Boraras brigittae for years now, and honestly they're some of my favorite fish - I love their personality, and their fire red color. I hope to see the follow up video about them because I'm always trying to find good information about them, but there's so much conflicting info online due to fish shops and even wholesalers selling other Boraras as 'brigittae' even when they're actually mepha or urophthalmoides!

[@zamoranojesus88]

Great information about the fish Chris. I have a question I couldn’t find the channel of Yosuke Kubozuka.

[@chrislukhaup]

Its called discovery planet. If you dont find it send me a pm on insta and i wull send you the link

[@Cleeon]

Will have dedicated black water aquarium, for them

[@laurabustos6560]

I am in love w/ the B. naevus but San Diego seems pretty far behind the big hubs of the US. I have seen them for sale online but nothing locally so far😮‍💨. I can only find B. brigittae locally. I think getting any Bororas young, as juveniles if possible is less stressful too? I haven't had any issues with my Bororas acclimating but I have gotten them all young and bred locally. Edit; I agree with you 💯. I've heard so often that they're a shy genus and you never see them. But mine know when it's feeding time and they always all come out of the plants. Otherwise I see them scooting through the plants all day, they don't seem overly shy.

[@rhondafitzpatrick1646]

first time watching your channel, Corey from aquarium co-op highly recommended you, I love the content!

[@chrislukhaup]

Cory is my friend. 😊

[@jonisolis9645]

Chris Lukhaup, how many aquariums do you have? Love your pretty tiny fish!

[@chrislukhaup]

at the moment 13 i think ;-)

[@assiahinarkansas]

Great video. Thanks!

[@civilexpo7974]

Thanks for the information, beautiful fish! Really love boraras and rasbora. Do you also have in-depth information for Hengeli Rasbora ?

[@chrislukhaup]

Video about those will come as well

[@tropicalfishlover]

Nice video! I had B. naevus in a 100 L with lots of plants and there were fry survive among the plants!

[@CowboyTed]

Great vid son.

[@lauravictoriatanks]

Very informative and beautiful video 😍 The boraras species are my favourite fish to keep, especially with shrimp!

[@taqveem]

Great informative video! A question if I may, have you tried keeping the different species together in the same tank, do they school/shawl with their own species or do they mix and accommodate? I was thinking of getting two types of rasbora in the same tank.

[@chrislukhaup]

they will mix as they are not direct schooling fish...

[@TheSnakeOil]

Banger! 🤘

[@its_elser]

i have seen them as micro rasbora

[@theviolentone]

My fav fish b.maculatus..but they used to jump from tank

[@Lisa.Sparkman]

Thank you so much for talking about these little tiny fish. I am looking forward to getting some and setting up a tank with them and I was hoping to keep some neocaridina shrimp with them. Can they live in similar parameters that the shrimp like as well? I hear they prefer a harder water.

[@chrislukhaup]

these guys go with a low ph and that is great for Caridina and Neos..so soft water is better than hard water.

[@alexalb2012]

Hi Chris, Boraras are all superbs. What is for you, the smallest boraras (except micro)? Saw Neavus is considered the second smallest but looks like they all does the same except maculatus and micros.

[@junrycalvo]

Thank you for this informative video. Here in our country no one documented the native species of our rasboras until it went in the wild due to our local government releasing invasive tilapia to their natural habitat. 😢 This documentation will help alot the newer generation in the future.

[@AgeOrmstad]

Cool video man 😎

[@johnnybest6386]

Can u please a video of how to set up a tank for black water like their habit

[@animegod1714]

Hey chris, what light are you using in this video. Is it a rgb or just a white light? The color looks very enhanced

[@chrislukhaup]

i use the lights of Twinstar...they are great to film ;-)

[@animegod1714]

@@chrislukhaup do you have these fish under normal white lights? I want to see their more natural colour.

[@-AndrewR]

👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks u for mak8ng this videos ....i hope u make all the PENCIL FISH SPECIES VIDEO LIKE THIS ALSO I APPRECIATE U AND WHAT U BRING INTO THE HOBBY JUST BESIDE YOUR MUSICIAN PROFILE ...... I TS GOOD TO BE KNOWING BY ALOT OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE. SALUTE TO U

[@Aedony]

Hey Chris, have you been able to breed any of them? It's still on my bucket list, I have a group of like 12 boraras naevus for a couple years now but wasn't able to breed any... I tried several different setups as they are Freileicher but without success. Sadly, for about a year, I haven't seen them mating anymore. Maybe they are too old now or my conditions aren't right (anymore)? :(

@discoveryplanet

[@Beb_73]

What's the point of claiming there will be more volumes when almost a year down the line nothing has happened? Such a shame because boraras are interesting fish to keep

[@Poplora]

Well I like the video so you get a like and a subscribe ❤

[@chrislukhaup]

Thanx❤

[@05cinnamon786]

Ye syes yes yes tell us more. How do you breed them????!!!

[@chrislukhaup]

mainly adding a lot of leaves,low ph and lower the water level..

[@05cinnamon786]

@@chrislukhaup thank you. I'm collecting rain water from my roof to make water changes to the fish tank. If I'm not mistaken rain water has a lower ph which is ideal. However I am worried about external fungus/ bacteria infecting my tank that might come from water collect from the roof. Any suggestions? Also love the video; chilli rasboras are my favourite fish and I am trying to breed them.

[@chrismelb100]

id also love to one day breed Boraras brigittae, I understand they need low ph
