I show you my technique to strip holding females of eggs and get a good hatch rate. After we have removed the eggs I show you how to set up an egg tumbler.

I have never bred fish nor do I plan to, but this video was fascinating. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing. Haven’t thought of using a zip tie to open the mouth. That will make it a lot easier then opening the mouth like we do currently. I will try this out tonight when I strip our female of her eggs.

I would think the fish would resist more. Interesting-you made that look so easy 🙂

I was lucky to have a good success on camera lol slow and gentle and I have found they don’t struggle.

Thanks for the video! Did not cross my mind to use twist ties to strip eggs.

I found it useful when pulling from the Egyptians, they are even smaller

Awesome video Trent just stripped my first female and it worked thank you :) one question how long til they start breeding again ? Is there like a time they go through

@WeldonTanks 3 жыл бұрын

I have had females holding again within a week and other times it takes a few weeks. If you let them hold naturally the fish would go through the gestation period of a week or two before the female would release them naturally.

I’ve yet to try to pull eggs from mine. Wanted to try but just never have.

When you get them on a cycle you can pull eggs almost weekly

Trent do they predate on their fry if left for them to hatch them naturally. Very interesting .

@WeldonTanks 3 жыл бұрын

They do not. If you let them hatch naturally provide some cover for the fry but the parents will tend to them

When you strip the female and she releases the eggs, how do you know which eggs aren’t fertilized and should be taken out? Thanks.

@WeldonTanks 3 жыл бұрын

Eggs that have a yellow color to them are fertile. Eggs that are white are not fertile.

Great tutorial! Is it necessary to treat the water with the tumbler in it with anything special?

@WeldonTanks 3 жыл бұрын

While it is not necessary I have found that by using methalyne blue I get a higher hatch rate as it helps with fungus.

@@WeldonTanks thank you! I do have some in stock but I'll not use this round and see how it turns out. I tend to steer away from meds when possible. Great video and thank you for the response!
