Tour of My Fish Breeding Warehouse (2 Years Later!)

[@bangazboom9925]

The Rat! I thought your behind the scenes video was about to turn into a feature horror film when you went looking for the rat. I was all like, “Wow! This is taking a turn”

[@matthew_thefallen]

Ahaha same here 😂😂

[@allonaquatics]

@@matthew_thefallen gave me a real laugh!! So happy you left it in!

[@WetCoastAdventures]

I'm making a snack and sitting down for this AWESOME content. Thank you again for all your teachings, wisdom, and guidance for novice aquarists like me. Your brilliant mind is pushing this hobby forward in new ways, cultivating respect for the fish, and inspiring countless others all over the world to deepen their appreciation for fish and nature. Thank you, stay fishy. ❤

[@KeepingFishSimple]

You are so welcome!

[@allonaquatics]

Me too!

[@georgiee00]

babe wake up my fav fish guy on yt posted :D

[@turtleman190]

No go back to sleep

[@mitch3018]

AHAHHAAH BRO ME

[@mitch3018]

I JUST DID THIS

[@The1BlackKrow]

Take a drink every time he says "Bug Buffet". LOL

[@adrianzmajla4844]

Or "Like" haha!

[@bluepanther3043]

I’m drowning! 😂

[@T-Rexed]

I was thinking the same thing haha. Love the video but might as well as call it Bug Buffet Promo video 😂

[@norsefilly]

You would be dead

[@toiletfish]

It's not just this video, it's every video since he came out with it. My favorite fishtuber, but the forced bug buffet promos are a bit cringe.

[@matthew_thefallen]

I am always amazed by how you're such a young man and have this sorted out! 🙌 You are truly an inspiration Nick!

[@jodip719]

I just want to say that my fish absolutely love the bug buffet and green cuisine. To anyone in the US that wants to try it, it's worth it. All of my fish go absolutely nuts for it.

[@vonlurker1567]

How can I get it

[@jodip719]

@vonlurker1567 Google keeping fish simple and go to his website

[@JeFFmusKILL]

@@vonlurker1567 I think just ordering it from KFS website rn. I just ordered mine international shipping fee was around 14 USD

[@pushkatu]

Perfect timing for my morning coffee! 🎉

[@xc_OuMa]

I tried breeding Bettas 4 years ago and I might've watched some of your betta breeding vidoes back then. I got a solid batch but only 6 survived to adulthood. I conditioned them in ice cream tubs with a LOT of tannins, I used Indian Almond and it worked perfectly. Lost all of my fish from a flood and I lost interest but I set up a 10 gallon recently and bought a female betta. Love your stuff man, love seeing your business and your hobby grow.

[@chrisjewell8921]

Royal whiptail breeding- mine spawn every 3-4 weeks with 50~140 eggs. They are in neutral water, 25C, but with lots of oxygen from airstones and some flow. I also feed the parents heavily with frozen food and spirulina tabs. I leave the tank as a bit of an algae covered mess for the fry, and also feed the fry spirulina powder twice a day. Seems to work well but they grow very slowly

[@HITOPAquarium]

The aquariums are beautiful and I think their owners take good care of them every day

[@charlespaugh]

My friends and I started a new drinking game: you have to take a sip every time Nick says “Bug Buffet.” We were hammered by the end of this video. 😂We love you Nick!

[@Texasbiologyhelp]

I do net bags of crushed coral in all of my aquariums and it really buffers the water where I live very well.

[@thomasevans3387]

It is so refreshing to hear someone else struggling with CPDs. I have bred 1000's and I still struggle at times with them. Low calcium can be a problem for eggs, but so can everything else as far as I can tell.

[@markbradley5873]

I wish you all the luck with your new transition I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago makes me a little sad but I'll still be following your channel definitely😊

[@hc3021]

What an incredible video! So many helpful tips and tricks for those of us trying our hand at breeding. Thank you so much for this, and the entertainment with Sammy (?) stealing the show at the end was fun!

[@matthewcox5782]

Fishtube video of the year!

[@august2ryan]

I had a breeding colony of clown kilis before. For me its one of the easiest. I just leave them . But when I put some red cherry shrimps they stopped breeding or the eggs been eaten. The hardest for me is to keep rams alive 😂

[@nathanhoveyaquatics]

I love Tetras and have a few types but I'd love to do a 55 gallon with nothing but Tetras.

[@steveholmescoastalsafety]

500l tank for tetra and Tiger barbs. This works very well and they provide endless colourful entertainment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHKko56GiKeWirs Need to treat them to some "Bug Buffet" - ever heard of it? Top tip - plant the roots in a small bag of peat and stuff it in a coconut. Keeps the eco system natural 😊

[@palimike83]

So, I started putting my granule food like bug buffet into a pepper grinder and it's been great for making the food easy for the fish to eat.

[@jonathanwegweiser4659]

Finally bought both bug buffet and green cuisine. My rainbows and tetras I bet will love it. Keep up the good work

[@pushkatu]

Hmm… your fishroom looks way more green and colorful than in the last tour I’ve seen. I wonder if Adrian’s fish room has inspired you to use more plants in your tanks. It looks amazing!

[@mperry2906]

French Blue Star Endlers are an underrated fish! Great tour, thanks for sharing.

[@JeFFmusKILL]

😄Just ordered my first Bug Buffet from California, happy that you are shipping internationally now. Any plans on establishing a distributor in America? International shipping fee is quite hefty. Thank you, can't wait to try the food!!

[@jonathantanner9098]

Added two large spawing mops to my pygmy cory tank as i have been struggling to get them to spawn and 3 days latter they are laying eggs!!! Hope it encourages then ottos

[@mattm95]

Would love to see a video on collecting the Teewah creek rhads. Just got a group of adults a few days ago

[@mitch3018]

Thank you very much . Amazing content always.

[@egserrano19]

Edwin from Costa Rica , thank for all your tips !!! God bless you !!!

[@ElementalMJ]

I knew you messed up when shoving that mouse tote back towards the pile of other stuff. Glad to see you putting a rat terrier to work! 🙌

[@dawnvarty657]

Perfect way to spend my morning! I love the hair, BTW.

[@BadlydrawnBen]

Top tip for breeding all whiptail species, place an air stone in the bottom of the tank with a stream of bubbles going against a loose piece of glass all the species i spawned laid eggs in the bubble stream then i took the glass out to hatch the eggs

[@kwackytankslap9339]

I find separating male and female CPDs then introducing them together in a new tank is the best way to get them to spawn

[@FaultAndDakranon]

I hope you can breed lots of native fish ❤ I really prefer them for outdoor ponds, so they don't cause problems if they accidentally wash into local waterways in a flood.

[@slamboy66]

Crushed coral doesn't work well with lots of water changes. I use a 8" Granite Stone Grinder and pulverize dead snail shells to get calcium in the tank for snails and shrimp.🐌🦐🦐🦐

[@green_oasis]

Nice one. Thanks for showing

[@nathanhoveyaquatics]

I have a pretty good group of Ameca Splendens/Butterfly Splitfins and they do a decent job at eating algae. They will go at BBA but they don't destroy it like I'd like them to but something's better than nothing right.

[@Lord_8_1]

Those aquariums are beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@garysoutar451]

Would recommend sand with your shell brooders. So they can arrange the shells they way they like in the sand.

[@birbarmygeneral]

i use my shrimp tank to hatch and grow baby fish to a certain size to max out my tanks

[@hiissh]

Thanks!

[@nsgg2178]

sublime lime

[@cesardias7579]

Thank you for another great video full of great tricks :) Maybe i can give you something in return... here is my trick on gold fish breeding on aquarium: I had some goldfish breeding on my little fish room a couple of times, just for fun! But... Mine never used those mops! On those couple of times i got successful i moved 1 female and 2 males to a big IKEA container (50/60 liters) with original aquarium water, and a piece of "egg crate" covering all the bottom of that container and few pebbles to keep it 1 or 2 centimeters above bottom. Those 3 adults have been there for 2 days and get them back to their original aquarium after. They left all the bottom of the container and the interior of the "egg crate" covered in eggs :) Removed that "egg crate" only after the eggs hatched. The only problem will be on what to do with all those little guys :) If you cant get a spawning on that mop, you can try that way! Maybe my gold fishes were too lazy to stick them on mop, and find it easier to scatter them all over the bottom :) Cesar

[@asredden]

Could you put some Amano shrimp with the catfish and remove the cherrys to help with the breeding.? That would control the breeding problem to keep the shrimp in control and still do the cleanup work maybe.

[@tinamou855]

Great trip!

[@siggyincr7447]

It's been decades since I last kept fish, but I do remember looking into breeding Harlequin Rasboras and reading they have more success in breeding with young males and older females (or was it the other way around?). And the article recommended adding a group of well fed young fish to a group of older ones to initiate breeding. Not sure if this is something that is well known, but maybe it might useful to try.

[@johnbessell]

I have had success breeding my otocinclus in one of my planted tanks have turned 1 male and 2 females into a colony of about 40 and they are still breeding for me. Infact the last spawn was last week.

[@nehireotarulkka8092]

Please describe what you did, that would be so helpful! Water parameters, planting, tankmates, temperature and water changes...

[@johnbessell]

@@nehireotarulkka8092 My planted tanks is set at 24°it is scaped with an aqua soil base covered with a dark fine sand. Hard scape is Seriyu stone and some drift wood. As for plants I have used anubias coffeefolia, Java moss, anubias paco, cryptocoryne Wendtii, Echinodorus Bolivianus and Micanthemum Monte Carlo. Tank mates are cherry shrimp and bladder snails and recently corydoras. Even with the snails still averaging 10 fry a spawn to free swimming. Water parameters PH 7.6 GH 150 KH 120, Alkalinity 120, water changes about 30- 40%. Have also noticed they do enjoy tannins in the water. Have found that once they were settled the seem to spawn about every 4 weeks and I don't fuss over them. The started about 4 weeks after they were added lighting schedule of 12 hours on. Hope this helps anything else happy to share what I have learn. Happy Otocinclus breeding

[@FishCapadesProductions]

Love the tours! Keep it up! ❤❤❤❤

[@Brandi-qc7lx]

More on the rams please!!!

[@Missunderst00d1]

Ive recently just started working with some green dragon breeder plecos and i just got my first spawn with a good batch🙌

[@Nevoexpo]

Its finally time for you to get a Discus tank.

[@FaultAndDakranon]

Oh! The foxtail is nice, I have one at home that doesn't look like anything I have found online... I don't know whether it's a new subspecies, or if my tank just makes it grow weirdly.

[@FishCapadesProductions]

Yes please on the angel fish video! ❤️ ❤❤❤

[@DiamondSerenity-ov4eg]

Totally Peanut Butter jealous, I wish I had my own aquarium shop with my own cute Aussie

[@Jordan-fd7rb]

love the progress! Could you please share what you use as a mat under the tanks?

[@Everything.On.Wheels519]

How dare you post a video that's over an hour when it's midnight where I am in Canada 😅 Guess I'm staying up late now lol

[@Everything.On.Wheels519]

I had a rat flood my fish room 😑 It ate the lines for my RO system and it ran full tilt on the floor for about 12 hours. Took me over a month to catch it.

[@chevyfish4028]

I have found green water to be the absolute ultimate for raising fry. Thanks for the tour.

[@teal_2v338]

Hey did you made an update on the killifish Eggs you Hatched from mail?

[@ryanbarton6739]

I was wondering if you could breed hillstream loaches with cherry shrimp?

[@ryanbarton6739]

Not you particularly just in general

[@markcarpenter1922]

When your video first starts, the tanks in those racks that say “rainwater”. What size are they? Please and thank you

[@JaapAardappel]

Intrested what the possibilities are for cold water fish that look awesome. Any suggestions?

[@alancai9903]

Nick can you please do a breeding video on l046s when they breed again?

[@adrianzuralliv1384]

Nice one. Amazing content

[@McAquatics]

What size do you use for your breeding tanks with the plecos and shrimp?

[@nathanpanka5411]

Any plans on brining bug buffet to a US distributor? Definitely want some but that shipping is a killer.

[@elvinsworld11]

Lovely

[@Aedony]

I would love to see you make a video about blueback blue eyes!

[@canadiannavywife434]

Awesome video. Liked, shared and commenting. Question... Could you please do a time-lapse for a couple of different tanks from when you feed them in a 24 hour period of time and do a time-lapse for the way you get the fish/snails to clean a dirty tank. Please and thanks. Hugs from Esquimalt

[@canadiannavywife434]

Oh and.... #KeepingFishSimple as for the rat... get a cat!

[@sabinekatsavrias4422]

need to do a whole backroom special once the rats gone lol ...i was really into learning how you do your tetras now ...hahaha i loved your im not gonna crack up face .......

[@sentwigz1807]

amazing video as always! any tips on killing cyanobacteria so the shrimp can eat it? i read shrimp wont eat live cyano and i've got a tank starting to develop some.

[@robmcculloch2611]

Do you dry the banana leaves before putting in tank or fresh from plant?

[@its_elser]

you got yourself at ratatouille

[@calebcologna8681]

I’ve been having trouble getting my Pygmy cories to start breeding, the boys are often chasing the girls around but they’re just not making it happen. The tank is already pretty soft, maybe I need to put some RO water in the fridge and suddenly bring the temp down, I just can’t figure them out

[@Ghostoad]

Are you using primarily 20 high for breeding and then growing them out in 2os?

[@bluepanther3043]

Question for you Nick. Do you keep a lid on your blue eyes? Specifically the spotted blue eyes because I do but if you don’t need to I’d much rather not. Thanks anyway love your videos!❤

[@benellis241]

Is there any chance you have a bug buffet distributer in the UK? Dying to try it out but the shipping costs far too much!

[@somebodyelse9696]

Pretty sure he’s Australian

[@SleeperBBQ]

Nice vid Thank You

[@lmathews61]

Great video!! As for the rat 🤢…you should have covered the container (with contents and rat) and took it out as far as possible from your building and disposed of it…🤷🏽‍♀️

[@SzymonWasiak]

Bro the rat moment what a BONUS :D

[@Nigelaquaticsfish]

Hey bro use plastic containers for the food bye little mouse thing

[@WildPursuit1]

How do you have black worms living in your tank? Everything is find says they need cold water

[@amichan9461]

Yay i wish i could visit you but I live in California I’ll visit you when can get some free time

[@FaultAndDakranon]

Brisbane is not a tourist town 😅. Nice place to live though :)

[@toddbigeasy]

Whose doggie.

[@thenamesfrog85]

U can squish flakes into powder too bro, whenever u talk about that i laugh coz thats how ive raised many of these fish you say cant be done that way

[@babyzdog4324]

Love the tours, maybe you should submit the ghost clips to nukes top 5 haha.

[@LeaoJo]

what size are the breeding tanks and do u use substrate for them?

[@fishingnh4543]

My gfs dog keeps eating brine shrimp direct flakes... if he can reach it he gets into it hes a mini Australian shepherd

[@BIRD152]

Please make a video on breeding black skirt tetras.Please

[@Kyddoemiko13]

I gotta get some bug buffet. You gotta find another secure method of keeping rodents out of your stuff 🤨 They can build a nest out of any loose material paper, tissue, foam, cotton pads. And if any food is left sitting around it's an instant invitation.

[@AnthonyDeanChannel]

I like your videos I was watching the video of your shrimps, what food do they eat, and how long do they live? thanks

[@mrdilgames6546]

Are a lot of those tanks the blue planet series ones? Like 65L, 150L and maybe even 200L? Just asking because I use the same and was thinking of sticking to them. If you have success with them and haven't found anything cheaper at those prices either then I'm guessing they are the best on the market here.

[@HollandAbsher]

I have ghost here ..i thought .oh no .hes glt them too...i woke up to my cabnet door opened .and it just dint ioen easy .you really jave to pull on it to get it to open ... Question have you done a video on how you make your green water ..love your channel .im from Kentucky USA

[@PraiseHisBlood]

very nice video

[@MattiaTamos-pm2bc]

It has become a recurring Joke between my animal keeping/breeding Friends, how some species are allergic to Love and attention and only breed If you forget about them lol

[@danbaker2619]

Maybe it was a chupacabra? Awesome vid as always.

[@LeaoJo]

did you start with one tank and then make profit from breeding then buy 2 tanks then 3 and on and on or did u buy them from the fish and youtube

[@yashtapase3821]

Why no more different cories ?

[@saunderskay8684]

I HAVE A QUESTION DO YOU CHANGE THOSE BANANA LEAVES WITH TRUNK AT SOME POINT OR THEY JUST SIT THERE ALL ALONG NEWBIE QUESTION THANKS

[@DiecastGTRGarage]

When can we get bug buffet in the UK?

[@SliceradioAu]

Darkness for breeding whiptails.

[@Darryl.M]

Does anyone know where I can get some Japanese Blue Endlers in or around Brisbane?

[@macksir8938]
