HOW TO BREED HUNDREDS OF NANO FISH AUTOMATICALLY! (EASY TUTORIAL)

[@mr.octopus6972]

This is by far the most comprehensive of the many videos I've watched on the subject. Thanks ! ✌️

[@sydneysangels]

Thank you, I truly appreciate the kind words. I worked pretty hard on this video and I'm glad you liked it :)

The best baby fish breeding I have seen in a long time. Well done.

[@sydneysangels]

Thank you 😊 I appreciate that!

This reminds me of something you would create in a Minecraft automated farm.

[@highflyinmayan5051]

Pure genius thanks for sharing. Another tip for treating breeder boxes out there, a vegan product called "Grapefruit Seed Extract" or GSE is very effective in cleaning your glassfront and plastic surfaces to prevent algae adhesion as well as serving as an antifungal! Comes in a bottle, wet your mag cleaner in the tank and drop 5-10 drops of GSE to the wet pad and just go to town cleaning inner surfaces. Works fantastic alongside monthly or bimonthly hydrated bentonite treatments at boosting fish vibrancy and gill health!

[@sydneysangels]

Thanks! Oh wow, that's a great tip. Thanks for sharing that! I've never heard that one before and I'll be sure to give it a try. Thank you 😊

Looks like you are having a good amount of success. nice video.

Thanks Blake, I got the idea from your channel and from the Aquarium Library! I'm looking forward to trying it with other species as well

Great system. Love it 🫶

@@sydneysangels you are one of the main KZbinrs who got me into breeding fish just my first eggs just hatched and can't wait to get more. Thanks

[@freshwateraquatics7593]

​@@sydneysangels I also I'm going to buy some of your amazing cpds when I can save enough money I really want to try and breed them like you. I guess I'm going to have to get my first job to support my hobby 😂

[@NYGOLD]

Great video!!! I made an egg collecting device out of a funnel, hose, airline, and a breeder box. Same results different approach. I like yours better, the high walls on the main container are a must to catch the most eggs. Keep the fry videos coming.👍

[@sydneysangels]

Nice work! That sounds like a great DIY approach. Thanks! Maybe I'll make a video on how to breed rainbowfish next!

[@NYGOLD]

@@sydneysangels Yeah make a rainbow breeding video, that should be good. If your interested in seeing how I did the D.I.Y. egg collecting device it's here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6ewnHydipJkq7c

[@slaughternut]

I’d recommend putting about 1/4th the amount of moss you put in for breeding, makes life a lot easier and automatic!😁love breeding these little guys, there starting to fund my other projects very nicely!

[@sydneysangels]

You're absolutely right! I'm using about that amount this time around and the results are a lot more automatic. Absolutely!

[@Jack-gh3vs]

This video came at the perfect time. One of my female CPDs is looking like she’s about to burst. I have an empty breeder net in their tank so I’ll probably just move the female and a male in there for a couple of days with some susswassertang and then move them out before any eggs hatch. Great video!

[@sydneysangels]

It sounds like she's loaded with eggs! I hope you get tons of them! Thank you very much :)

[@creedmooraquatics]

I've been looking forward to trying the Penn-Plax + Fluval together, glad to see it working so well!

[@sydneysangels]

It's been a really nice way to breed some fish with my busy schedule. I saw it on a few other channels and I had to try it myself!

[@JeFFmusKILL]

If anyone is trying to safe a little money, I used a regular funnel with mesh as a substitute for the aqua nursery. Then just adapted an airline into the tubing connecting the breeder box. About 25% the cost of the nursery

[@sydneysangels]

Sweet, thanks for the tip!

[@yoshikawa1980]

It was a great video! The egg collecting device was innovative and very informative. Thank you. From Japan😊

[@sydneysangels]

I say go for it! Thanks!

[@ChaoticCannon]

Very helpful. Thanks. Have been trying to figure out how to breed my danios buy they are in my 210 gal main community tank and I only have a 5 gal hospital tank. This helps. Thanks

[@sydneysangels]

Oh awesome this setup should work perfectly for you. I'm glad! Thanks!

[@kendraowen2841]

Ha .... genius.... I already have that breeder thing you use for them to lay eggs in. I would make one comment. I was not happy with the flow in it. Even if I turned the air up high it wasn't pulling the babies down through the funnel and into the side nursery as it was designed to do. It does perform better if the outlet to the nursery side is under the water but I don't see a solution in your set up for that. Anyway, last time I did some work on my tank I took it out and cleaned it well. Then I took a glue gun and sealed up the slots in the birthing side below the green funnel part so that it could only pull water through from above and through the funnel. I am very happy with the results. Now I can see a good flow going down through the green funnel part from the top and it seems to have improved the flow pulling debris into the nursery side. I just did this like a week ago so I haven't had a female birthing yet to watch how well it works with fry vs. debris. The reason I like this birthing thing so much is that while you have a female waiting to give birth it provides flow vs. stagnant water ... and it pulls debris to the nursery tank making it easy to keep the birthing side clean. I would think that your system would be improved by doing the same. I would think it would improve pulling the eggs down through the mesh, through the funnel, and into the updraft stand. I don't know how big the eggs are .... if they are small they could find their way out of the breeder system through those slots. I mean ... I realize with water flow and gravity only a few would happen to drop through the slots ... but this would prevent even that. and damn you ... now you have me wanting to set up this system but I don't have room for even two 10 gallons. Also ... the only fish I'm interested in breeding and sell for enough money to make it worth the headache is shell dwellers and this would not work for them.

[@sydneysangels]

Thanks for the tip! I'm glad it solved your issue. I seem to get quite a few eggs through mine at the moment so I'm not going to mess with it but if I have any problems down the road I'll try your idea! Thanks again!

[@legionaquatics]

Awesome video!! I have a 10 gallon full of java moss right now and my friend said he can give me a bunch of cpds for free. i'll definitely try this!

[@evergreenpsyche]

I havent watched the whole video yet (saving for later) but after watching the intro, I wanted to ask, what are the implications on inbreeding when going from 6 fish to 600? Been wondering about this for tank-bred fish in general too

[@sydneysangels]

Good question! Well, those 600 fish have been bred from that original group of adults plus a few offspring and another group purchased later on. Since the majority of the fry never see the breeding tank. I haven't had any problems so far

[@pedrovision6987]

New sub man...great video...I like it when I can learn...thank you! Greetings from Finland.

[@Spiinafex]

Great Video, really did explain a few things in more detail than what I've been currently doing. My problem seems to be getting the cpd's to lay eggs in the first place. what are you doing to adults? ratio? feeding schedule? lighting schedule? I'm from Australia, so unfortunately buying some more directly from you isn''t an option. Keep up the great work!

[@ritchiemathews1794]

[@drachior]

glad you cleaned that up. i'd complain but i have no idea just how many tanks you have and how long it takes to take care of all of them. If you had a finer mesh net on the bottom of the breeder box, would that help seperate the poop from the eggs?

[@TheAquariumLibrary]

I’ll be curious to see if you have success with adhesive eggs. It catches a crap ton of non-adhesive eggs. But to the best of my knowledge I haven’t seen anyone try it. You wouldn’t be catching the eggs, but rather the fry as they hatch off. I’m glad to see other people using it and having success with it. I was getting really annoyed with all my other previous attempts, as it sounds you were as well. If you use it for other types of fish I’d love to see that!

[@giftofthewild6665]

Good point. I'd love to know if anyone has tried this idea with fish that lay adhesive eggs too.

[@sydneysangels]

Thanks man! I first saw this idea on your channel as well as Blake's Aquatics. I am planning on moving this around the fish room to see what else it works with. I would be interested in how it works with adhesive eggs too. Like you said, it would more or less be catching hatching out fry but I bet it would work
