Thanks for watching

[@andrewgoldfish]

Great info thanks for sharing. We love the dragonflys in our garden but if we do an outside goldfish breeding pool we'll definitely do a net cover like you recommend to keep them and other critters from being a problem.

[@eipelppaenif]

I love that arrow animation it's just so perfect and made me giggle haha

[@ADHDbuilt]

Part of me half arsed it, I should have found proper images for the arrows, but then I half arsed it.

[@eipelppaenif]

No way, the way it is now is just too perfect haha! love it

[@Mariemaymoore]

Oooh i dont fancy doing it this way. Do u have to add water conditioning to the fry breeding tank?

[@ethanschwar1481]

Great video definitely most informative on KZbin. Once I breed my goldfish and I have the eggs do I just put them in the pool or do I have to have an air pump in the pool as well to get them to hatch

[@ADHDbuilt]

Both work, they need water movement to stop them going nasty though.

[@clairebyrne1725]

I have 3 gold fish in a normal bowl and change the water every few days. But after watching I think I may have throw out eggs I don't know as white weird stuff was in bowl so I emptied out but then I saw some of program on fish. Should I change the bowl to a tank??

[@sarahk4047]

Where did you get your daphnia? My first babies are 2 months old and are still silver white, when did your colour?

[@SimplyBetta]

Great vid, very interesting!

[@ADHDbuilt]

Thanks!

[@TheBritishReactor]

Hi Nice Video, I managed to Save some eggs and put them in a tub, its been almost 2 weeks now and most of them are doing fine, but i have notice 1 or 2 dead ones every once and a while and i'm worried it will kill them all off, what are the possible problems of why some are dying, i have a airstone in there, the water levels are the right height. what do i do.

[@ADHDbuilt]

Hi. The airstone might be your problem if they are tiny, they get stuck to the air bubbles and get stuck on the top of the water. Remove it until they are a bit bigger.

[@jenniferandreaboyke7488]

Hi my name is Jennifer I live in Trinidad and Tobago I love the Info .

[@ADHDbuilt]

+Jennifer Andrea Boyke glad you enjoyed!

[@Mariemaymoore]

Do all the fry survive?

[@asfentantono]

Hi, Just wondering if thge outdoor breeding will also work in cold weather? My ryukin dumped lots of eggs in May (in Sydney Australia). I am keeping the fries indoor at the moment, but I like the idea of keeping them in a large volume of water outdoor like what you have done. Less work and no messing around with brine shrimps hatching. Thanks, AT

[@ADHDbuilt]

Should be fine in Sydney! The temp isn't that much different, maybe wait a month though.

[@auspicious113]

Hi do you just fill the tank pool with tap water or rainwater. great video thanks

[@ADHDbuilt]

+Michael Rawnsley hi Michael. I use the fish tank water to top up. Otherwise it'd need to be filtered water to remove the chlorine.

[@jay13982]

Good explanation I might try this tho I breed goldfish and feed them differently.

[@ADHDbuilt]

I'm glad you're enjoying. How are you breeding them?

[@jay13982]

Colum Black-Byron well this female ranchu I have only lay eggs in the morning around the am. Missed at least 4 batch. I lay out a plastic container holding my female and two other males and by morning I just move them inside. Atm I'm feeding micro worm I'm not having any chance hatching bbs but so far so good beside culling.

[@sriprasad22]

lot of helpful information. thanks for sharing :)

[@ADHDbuilt]

Thanks Sri, I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@michaeljensen4260]

Nicely done, good infor.. cheers

[@jberry7640]

Pearlscales are so cute And would it be possible to breed a black moor with a fantail? There the two I have but I don't know the gender of them yet as there only about 5cms long and quite young

[@ADHDbuilt]

I'm curious to see what they look like when they are big!

[@lisafoster4468]

How did you change water without accidentally catching fry?

[@lisafoster4468]

Wonder how well that would work for african cichlids.

[@DANVIIL]

Do you eat the carp or are they for entertainment?

[@thegamingpuffin1845]

I live in Canada how do you think the cold and crazy weather will effect the daff-nee-ya?

[@ADHDbuilt]

I think during your summer, they'll be fine, but not much chance over your winter. They breed quickly though.

[@leeluutells]

Great info and video

[@ADHDbuilt]

Thanks Leeluu!

[@lisafoster4468]

Thanks for this. I've been thinking about raising goldfish, but I wasn't quite sure of how to raise the babies.

[@ADHDbuilt]

I hope it helps!

[@isaiahevans2026]

What did you add to the water once it turned green I couldn’t quite catch it and subtitles spelled Japanese

[@TealStarSusan]

That was very interesting ! Thanks.. I started our pond in summer 2015, and my friend gave me 7 of her best goldfish! Strong and about 4-6 or so inches. Within months I had fry .... lots of fry .... then last summer I got more fry. So right now ... we have fry of all sizes from tiny 1'' things to about 4 or so inches. ALL are black.. with that bronzy tinge on their bellies. I keep expecting them to change to what I think of as adult colours .. but no! The originals were all orange, some with white tales and one with two white spots that grew to form a white 'saddle' (not raised) ... Can you tell me ... are they likely EVER to become golden ? In my friends pond none of her fish are black ! Thanks for your help from the Brit in northern Portugal !

[@ADHDbuilt]

What sort of feed do you have them on?

[@TealStarSusan]

Hi ! Usually Tetra pond sticks ... they seem happy enough with it. I crumble some for the smaller fishes ... I 'd like to buy daphnia here in Portugal but have never seen any ! Even buying plants for oxygen is impossible ! Fortunately I do have lilies and other plants ...

[@ADHDbuilt]

+Susan Miller sometimes it's the protein content that brings out colours. Give them a proper feed.

[@chab3ly]

You should add some goldfish and more talking to your IG. It’s why we watch you

[@ADHDbuilt]

Hi Chab3ly. They are difficult to take photos of in the tank, and I don't want to pull them out for a photo for IG. You don't like the cute dog photos?

[@Hosemastenbrook]

Do "mosquito dunks" effect the daphnia?

[@woodsythebastard]

Hi Doc I live in England how do think rain would effect the daff-nee-ya ?

[@ADHDbuilt]

Doesn't change it at all :)

[@KILLER9676]

Is he taking the piss? daff-nee-ya live in water! I went to a boat pond in London and the water was teeming with the stuff!

[@jacobfurnish7450]

1 - Do daphnia eat algae? 2 - So you just put the fertilized eggs in a system with air stones and daphnia? What temp and what PH? 3 - Do you have to protect eggs from sunlight? ty

[@ADHDbuilt]

+Jacob Furnish hi Jacob. The daphnia eat the algae, a lot of it. I didn't measure the temp, but it was standard spring temps. When it's warm enough for them to chase, the eggs will be fine. pH was rather high, sat on high 7. Didn't protect from sunlight, was fine.

[@jacobfurnish7450]

Thankyou...I might use daphnia to control algae at my schools aquaculture facility. Ill put them in the biofilter.

[@ADHDbuilt]

+Jacob Furnish only problem with faster moving water is that they'll get caught in the filters. They need still water.

[@MistressOP]

can you feed sourdough starter? it's the yeast you use to make bread. wild yeast that you keep in the fridge.

[@ADHDbuilt]

I did that actually. I had a pizza dough leftover, and fed the daphnia that. The water went cloudy for a while, but the populations of daphnia went wild.

[@MistressOP]

Colum Black-Byron so perhaps a live culture is better than trying to add a dead one. thanks i'll give it a try. in a cup

[@ADHDbuilt]

I think the sourdough starter has a larger amount in there, I didn't mention it because I wasn't sure how safe it was. It should be fine though, they can eat flour, yeast, so together should be fine.

[@whatsupdoc3385]

great info. it's pronounced daff-nee-ya... hope that helps.

[@ADHDbuilt]

I'll remember that! Thanks for watching!

[@DaybirdAviaries]

Is "germination" the right word for this? LOL Great video. Thank you for sharing.

[@ADHDbuilt]

I'm going to go with yes!

[@andypham2093]

Hey, do you sell your goldfish? Im looking for some orandas and I live in Adelaide.

[@lachlanross3646]

Can u only do this in summer or can I do this in winter

[@ADHDbuilt]

I'd aim for spring-summer, problem that you'd run into is water temp. And unless you're running heaters, the fish won't breed unless the outside temp is right.

[@foxcouleefarms]

Good Job!

[@ADHDbuilt]

Thanks Mate!

[@octavaindavis8215]

Hey, how do you know when your goldfish is ready to spawn. I'm trying to hand breed goldfish but before I buy them I need to know what to look for. Please reply back asap.

[@ADHDbuilt]

It usually happens when the water warms up, you can trick them into it if you have a heater, but otherwise when it warms up. But they'll start chasing each other, and won't spawn until they are ready.

[@adindanurul9321]

@@ADHDbuilt does it depend where you live because my goldfish are breeding in rainy morning/season

[@ADHDbuilt]

@@adindanurul9321 doesn't matter on location, just on water temperature. You can trick them into breeding of you play with water temps.

[@adindanurul9321]

@@ADHDbuilt oh okay thank you so much it really helps

[@JackieTuCool]

pearlscales aren't as robust as orandas and ur lucky to find one past 6 inches without some sort of problem which explains why ur oranda fry are bigger, over all great video keep up the good work!

[@ADHDbuilt]

I didn't know they didn't grow as fast, but the orandas came from good stock.

[@giobelkoicenter]

I also culture daphnia magna it is easy to culture than the other daphnia species, also I prefer hand breeding my goldfish it is easy and can produce thousands of fry

[@ADHDbuilt]

They work well! I'll have to check out your channel.

[@giobelkoicenter]

Yes, it serves as filtration in my newly hatch koi fry also in addition when I feed my koi fry hard boiled eggs they eat the leftover and this maintain my water quality, thanks for checking on my channel

[@ashiquemuhammed1104]

do i have put the gold fish along with the eggs

[@ADHDbuilt]

The goldfish will eat the eggs given the chance.

[@DadePomsouvan]

In America we pronounce it Daph-Nia, what happens to the Dahpnia when the goldfish get bigger, do large goldfish eat daphnia also?

[@ADHDbuilt]

+Dade Pomsouvan they stop eating them after a certain size. Not worth the hunt.

[@NessysSanctuary]

thank you

[@ADHDbuilt]

Anytime!

[@DadePomsouvan]

How do you tell when the goldfish is ready to be hand spawned?

[@ADHDbuilt]

When they start chasing each other is the normal sign.

[@jalaljalal7265]

What you feed your goldfish pls

[@ADHDbuilt]

I feed them skretting fish feed. It's an aquaculture feed.

[@edgeofforever7720]

"You know they are ready to breed when they start chasing each other" In the ocean as is on land.

Usually not pack rape in humans though.

[@JamesSmith-nj6bq]

Would you say it went swimming

[@ADHDbuilt]

I would. :)

[@magzire]

the algae is the reason why the water stays healthy

[@ADHDbuilt]

Only issue is too much of it. It'll suck all the air from the water overnight and the fish will die :(

[@marthanewsome6375]

Why was that black fish swimming on it's side?

[@ADHDbuilt]

I think it had a genetic problem, it didn't make it :(

[@umieyana34]

thx

I hope it's useful!

[@bobbybuck8564]

how do u no wen theyre ready to bread

[@ADHDbuilt]

The boys start harassing the girls, chasing them around the tank.

[@ashmitaparajuli8984]

my gold fish is chasing from yesterday when l have to separate

[@ADHDbuilt]

+Ashmita Parajuli if they are chasing, they've probably already dropped the eggs.

[@ColonelKlink100]

I guess you don't have to worry about hawks, raccoons, and other predators there? Of course not raccoons in Australia, but there isn't anything else there that would eat the fish?

[@ADHDbuilt]

There are some birds that like to get in there, but it isn't too much of an issue.

[@kzkiren1791]

yeah so i tried handbreeding but they get infertile most of the time

[@ADHDbuilt]

I had a 95% success rate with that method. Did you get enough milk from the males?

[@kzkiren1791]

+Colum Black-Byron yep got enough of milt from males. maybe the female is infertile since one of my females is just months of age

[@katierose6040]

Does anyone know where to get daphania or able to ship some to sa

[@FKJ_WORLD]

Your video is interesting. I just hand bred some Koi and goldfish myself. I also have a Channel on KZbin check it out also ( (Fish Keeping Jamaica). I however have factors you don't have. I live in the tropics where i do not experience seasonal changes like you do. I however have the issue of mosquitoes breeding in fry ponds and occasional hurricanes and heavy rainfall. Daphnia and other little stuff you would use is not readily available in Jamaica. Instead I make Infusia from vegetable cutting( just that it smells terrible). Great Video , continue your series God Bless.

[@ADHDbuilt]

Glad you enjoyed! I'll have to check out your channel.

[@FKJ_WORLD]

I did some hand breeding of Goldfish the other day. I realized that a number of the eggs got fungus. Just waiting on the fifth day to see if any of the fries do hatch. Do you use Carbon to keep smell of water in chck? I did this with Koi and Gold fish. I usually allow them to spawn naturally. Regards

[@bigfroggy22]

thats hilarious the dragonflys perfectly represented evolutions the fit live and weak die, however fuck those dragonfly things for latching onto goldfish

[@ADHDbuilt]

I know! I squished many of them.

make the eggs hatch before putting them in the dapnia tank
