Dalmatian Mosquitofish 30 Gallon Update (Melanistic Gambusia Holbrooki)

[@kenjiro2676]

Mosquito fish are just hardier versions of guppies and endlers, but what makes them standout is that they are very temperature tolerant, something that endlers and guppies lack.

[@Green-Hoe]

only downside is they’re very aggressive towards other species and are fin nippers

[@kenjiro2676]

@@Green-Hoe yeah I’ve learned about that recently in a US native fish group, mosquito fish are little assholes.

[@fadhilthevisionary1518]

That dalmatian is a beauty!

[@njvikings1]

Hello, have you sold off yet? Looking to breed color into the Gambusia.

[@famousamos]

They're a little bit bigger than the guppies right? The females look pretty similar to guppies

[@EastAllenAquatics]

Woojong with the Word they're very similar. But native tibthe US. I'd say they are a bit bigger. Especially the females

[@TCS_Aquatics]

These are very interesting to me, do the males retain that coloration always? It doesn’t breed out over time?

[@EastAllenAquatics]

I have not kept them for a long time now, but I never saw the coloration diminish unless you interbreed them with the non-Melanistic variety. The key is keeping the females only with the melanistic males

[@JohnDoe-xq8sk]

Bro please tell me where I can find some of these for sale.

[@8hunnit40third2]

Gotta catch them badbois

[@jordanruebush3159]

Do you have any melanistic for sale?

[@8hunnit40third2]

I do

[@PlayGroundCars]

Where did you get your least kilis? Been trying to get them for so long, can they cross breed with the gambusia?

[@TheShmeebitdog]

Can the hybrids survive over winter in frozen ponds?

[@EastAllenAquatics]

Stephen Greenlese no I think 40-50 degrees is the cap for these fellas

[@TheShmeebitdog]

There are videos showing hybrids of guppies and minnows in ponds surrounded by snow water not quite frozen yet but in the 30’s but good to know maybe it will take more then one generation bread to female minnows

[@EastAllenAquatics]

Stephen Greenlese the ponds may be heated

[@TheShmeebitdog]

True but some commented that the water temp was in the 30’s but idk I’m a noob I just want some nice colorful fish for my out door pond and don’t just want typical goldfish and koi

[@EastAllenAquatics]

Stephen Greenlese maybe the western mosquito fish can handle that. But don't let it freeze up

[@terramerc733]

How did you breed those polka dot gambusias?

[@rustyequipment2181]

arent those dalmatian males just SuperMale variants?

[@EastAllenAquatics]

No, these are more spotted than the supermales. I could be wrong however

[@Ethical_living]

I want some of the spotted ones

[@EastAllenAquatics]

adventures with logan I finally sold them all right before the cold hit this year. I do still have least Killies though

[@Ethical_living]

East Allen Aquatics ok

[@harolddiaz9402]

[@brandonlasvegas]

Great video 😎 Can they be crossed with mollies 🤔⁉️

[@EastAllenAquatics]

They are not of the poecilia genus so I would not say so

[@andrea_6405]

[@rayb4643]

Hold up....did you breed Gambusia with a Guppy?

[@EastAllenAquatics]

Ray B nope. It's a rare strain

[@TimMann]

We figured out how to eradicate mosquitoes on our aquaponic farm entirely by accident. There's a comment below that says "disappointed when you said you weren't sure if the fish had made much of a difference.....". Well, they will. IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH! If the mosquitoes weren't eradicated, and I mean ERADICATED, not just "less of them", then it was because Mr. Mythic Guitar Company didn't have ENOUGH of them! Here's a Word document that explains how to completely get rid of mosquitoes forever. And just incidentally? It makes FOOD as a by-product. We live on a 7-acre farm in the tropics and have NO mosquitoes! None. There's a free 2-page download on this page that explains how this works: www.friendlyaquaponics.com/eradicating-mosquitoes-aquaponic-farm/ With Warm Aloha, Tim

[@marineone9981]

That is not a male, it's a female (.55)...pregnant too. Males have little (swords) underneath.

[@EastAllenAquatics]

There is a male center frame at .50 spotted
