It must be such a rewarding experience to see life occur with your care!

[@KeepingFishSimple]

That's why I do it!

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

You've been watching the master. Keep on spreading and teaching. All the best Mark.

[@KeepingFishSimple]

I have! Absolutely loved your series and all your other videos! Really helped me out with my danios too. Thank you for all the help Mark 🙏

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

@@KeepingFishSimple No problem 😊 its nice to see your passion for the hobby. 😀👍

[@fishingaddicts4739]

Hey Mark

[@lofinations]

I just today juse this method and got spawned... Waiting for 24hrs

[@Andreas-gh6is]

I've just read a few papers about breeding neon tetras. Apparently survival rate is improved by feeding microalgae at first, and later "mixed zooplankton" rather than artemia by which I think they mean Moina and Daphnia. A Polish group discovered that you should re-spawn the parents relatively quickly, like a week or so, otherwise the egg number and quality seems to decrease. This works for up to 7 times. Maybe for a year, maybe for the lifetime of the fish. I think the former. They also said keeping the fish at temperatures above 22°C negatively affected fry output.

[@NeonTetraAquarist]

Congrats on the babies my guy😄

[@MagicMark-yz9xq]

At 4:10 when he says "He doesn't see any fry etc., there's actually free swimming baby. Pretty cool

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Wow. I honestly can't believe it worked. Well done mate! Even if something happens and you have trouble growing these guys, just getting them to spawn successfully is amazing. 👏 Great video bud.

[@liambomb1234]

Great video had been waiting for this

[@blobbertmcblob4888]

I don't have neons, don't plan on breeding them either. But it's the middle of winter in the middle of an ice storm and I'm bored and on a fish kick lately, so I have been binging fish videos lol.

[@ohrats731]

So cuuute!!! Their tiny little neon spot is precious. I’m hoping to breed my kubotai rasbora but they’re going to be microscopic lol. I could hardly see my betta fry at first and I didn’t even notice the eggs when I bred them. I have no hopes in seeing my kubotai eggs/fry, but maybe someday some juveniles will show up in my tank 😂

[@KeepingFishSimple]

You can do it!

[@tiffanyrosea.i.t.9239]

This was an excellent 2 parter 👍🐟

[@dawndare3949]

Thank you. I look forward to trying this.

[@hasinashrestha6307]

[@KeepingFishSimple]

It is coming

[@themulingman45]

Sick video mate.

[@user-rn6hg2hb2e]

I really like the intro~

[@BodgieFromStraya]

dude they came out soooo well! mice mate!

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Thanks a bunch Bodgie

[@rajiv9819]

Good to see them 👍🏻. I think you should have used some kind of mesh/netting at 3 to 4 inches above substrate so that 1) the eggs are safe 2) one has to leave this group for 1 to 2 days to spawn and scatter as many eggs. No need of java moss etc

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for the visit

[@TheWildInternett]

Look great, nice video

[@wataryoodoininmyswamp1305]

Really helpful video. My gold neon tetra died today and in the process of removing her from the tank, I squeeze the belly. I always do this when removing dead females from the tank to ensure no living fry or eggs are trapped inside... well long story short it was It was raining eggs.😳 I frantically screamed at my boyfriend to get a cup and the net to block off all of the other tetra from going after the eggs. I used a dropper to remove all of the eggs released into the tank and put them into a cup. I have guppy fry tank up rn, but since they are live bearers it wasn't hard to take care of them. I was going to put the eggs into my guppy fry tank, but the guppies all about 1.5 centimeters meaning they're big enough eat them like m&m's. 😭 Eggs and nowhere to put them, looks like I'm going on a shopping trip to the pet store. 😭

[@nabeeldraws506]

But they're unfertilized eggs?

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

Well done.

[@GooseLooseMoose]

4:07 you can see one moving on the bottom left corner. Awesome video btw.

[@baileydoesthings2945]

Yay I was waiting for this vid for forever

[@belgevetjestef6409]

Thanks man!!! I thought my neon was getting fat but she is just preg

[@shavinmccrotch9435]

I tiny bit of cooked egg yolk mushed up with a little water makes good fry food too.

[@SindhuHalesh]

Should the oxygen pump to be set up (for fry and also while the fish are spwaning)? Does only adding stones help?

[@grantflippin7808]

egg yoke paste/powder is a good starter food, also

[@jrcell5832]

Can you use brine shrimp to feed them at this stage

[@akshatchoudhary4412]

Awesome video👍🏻 No air pump or sponge filter in the tank?

[@KeepingFishSimple]

No need

[@ninjanoodlechop7557]

Can you use uv lights to spot the fries?

[@deborahinfinger5658]

Is there a filter in there? And is the heater a must

[@Fazli_zakariah]

Is infusoria have smell ?

[@car_go_brooom7747]

can you put the fish in the food kit thing

[@clashofspirit4899]

What temperature did you set in that tank ?

[@cesaringonz]

How long until you start to see the fries? I follow all your advise but it has been 5 days since i retrieve the adult neons and, apart from a few unfertilised eggs I haven seen any fries. Thanks for your videos.

[@alyssadavis5128]

Yay! Fry!

[@KeepingFishSimple]

The best!

[@jimgeorge7390]

Instead of peat moss, can coco peat be used?

[@Robby454]

So I recently got neon tetras to go in my beta tank and I’ve noticed that they are breeding. It is just a normal 10 gallon with a sponge filter. What should I do?

[@George-ow9nl]

did u use ro water or just tapwater to breed neon tetra

[@MagicMark-yz9xq]

Would they still breeding in a community tank or only if u separate them?

[@TristanDB_]

i randomly spotted some neon eggs in my aquarium but i d'ont have an infusoria kid. do u have any advise.

[@user-iu1hx7eq8n]

Do I have to seprate the parent after the eggs gets hatched

[@justbegod508]

Hey bud my fish kept laying eggs on the top of the water and they kept being eaten by the others so I waited till they laid the eggs and the male wiggled next to her then I scooped out the little eggs floating all around and put them in a separate tank . Will I be able to hatch them in here ?

[@KAAPNW]

you can see fry in the moss at 8:55. Are there any conditions for the eggs to hatch?

[@dylanjdias]

Can i use a sponge filter during this phase of the breeding?

[@rotor7135]

They’re so tiny they respond greatly to water movement, they’ll get pushed around or sucked to the sponge

[@xapriliztheshizzlex]

You can totally see them at 4:11 ! Someone get my dude a tripod! 😩

[@orekampung]

How long did u keep the parents together?

[@followtheflip2172]

Hey man I’ve been watching your videos over and over and I followed all the steps and my neons spawned! However I noticed all the eggs where white in color. It’s only been about a day, but my experience with spawning koi fish, white is no good. They’ve been fat for a while and didn’t think much of it but over feeding, do you think they spawned infertile eggs since they hadn’t spawned in a couple months? I’ve had them since July

[@chinakickz893]

name of song in the video ?????

[@yourxiao4951]

😎😎

[@cantfinesseafinesser1528]

I had glow light tetras, they always spawned, but they never hatched...

[@rayyaanjessani2158]

How many gallons is this tank?

[@ryancunningham9776]

Just wanted to know I’m getting this right. I put them into there own fish tank with a filter and fatten them up. Then I put them into a different aquarium without a filter and just a heater so they can breed in the weed. Then I take them out after an hour and a bit. And let them sit with the light of to grow up

[@zanobi]

I think you leave them overnight in the dark in the second tank. They lay the eggs in the morning. Then take them out late morning or afternoon?

[@KcMapping]

at 4.12 you can see a baby fish in the moss

[@kurioscomics]

Can they survive in a tank of ghost shrimp

[@lucaborst8136]

When will there be another fish tank review? Love the vids

[@Neorish1]

Are the eggs much smaller than danio eggs.

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Yes

[@Neorish1]

@@KeepingFishSimple do take video or photos of fry growth 5 days interval for a month and make a video. There is less information about neon tetra fry

One of my tetras got pregnant on accident! So now I'm here wondering how it's done :)
