How I Bred Dwarf Neon Rainbowfish at Home

[@annienelson4218]

This might be the best fish video I’ve ever watched. Super informative and great quality!

[@SlickNick3]

Great video love the up close of the fry inside the eggs so cool to see!! Keep up the breeding you’ve really been doing a great job breeding several different fish now and do a great job of giving us the best chance at mimicking what you did to hopefully have some success as well

[@Jakes5.7]

Just got 6 in my 20 gallon long tank I’m liking the addition so far

[@k0olmini11]

Your camera work is amazing!

[@lucasfaley]

Looking forward to the Panda Cory video!

[@barstat1002]

microworms and then grindal worms work very well as well and are easier and cheaper to culture. I love your videos BTW.

[@ShadowWolf184]

which is smaller Microworms or Baby Brine shrimp? thank you 🙏

[@steve-adams]

@@ShadowWolf184 Late response, but microworms are quite a bit smaller.

I got 26 German blue rams super cheap 2 days ago. They have started pouring up today (at least 2 pairs). I’m going to pick my favourite pair and then 2 backup pairs and 2 spare females and I’ll put the favourite pair in their own breeding tank and the backups and spare ones in my 55gal community/betta sorority tank and the rest will go to a friend. I’m super excited about breeding them.

[@MakeMoreFish]

Good luck! They're a lot of fun

[@huntermclaren322]

Excellent video as always, my friend.

[@andrewgoldfish]

Wow awesome footage of those eggs. ❤

[@laughlife6787]

Thank you for the great content and information. Would like to know what type of pellets you are using for the adult rainbow? Looking forward to next video's.

[@MakeMoreFish]

Xtreme nano pellets

[@kilrkitty0818]

I apologize if you said it and I missed it but is this breeder a 10gl ? Great video going to start my breeding project with this fish soon 🎉

[@shackleDev]

Hi lowell, would overcooked egg yolk be a good fry food? The particles are very small, arround the same size if now smaller as hikari first bites. And it is full of protains + fats

[@MakeMoreFish]

Probably, Ive heard it mentioned many times but I haven't tried it myself. I've talked to at least one very successful breeder who uses powdered (dehydrated) egg yolk as a fry food. Sounds worth a try :)

[@Aus_Aquatics]

Great video! You should try some blue eyes (pseudomugil) soon!

[@MakeMoreFish]

I have some luminatus. Very cool fish

[@avo089]

How long until they grow to around 3 inches/adult size?

[@MakeMoreFish]

9-12 months maybe? I've never raised them that long before selling them

[@jasonlimweizen]

off topic question but i just bought 20 neon rainbow from online, and i said to get all males, i only got 3 from the looks of it, and they are all juvenile, does the males develop red fins early on or do they look like female and then colour up when they reach a certain size? help please

[@MakeMoreFish]

I recall my males' fins turning red pretty early on, but that's only one anecdotal experience.

[@FishRfun]

I have super hard water. Live in FL. PH about 7.8, TA 120, KH 8. New to the hobby. Just bought a 55g tank. Does anyone know a good quality online breeder. I'm thinking rainbows and platys. Also wondering if I could add CPDs with those fish

[@CrowntailHalfmoon]

Incredible Sir. Congratulations on your success. .👏👏👏Can you share how long it takes to grow out the rainbow to 1 inch?

[@MakeMoreFish]

3-4 months for me

[@timfletch]

What age "ish" do they start breeding ?

[@MakeMoreFish]

I cant say, precisely, but comfortably under a year. That I believe would be a true statement. The question is, how old are the individuals you came home with? That's the part I can't account for. Boesmani start breeding at only a few months old. Praecox may be the same. I didn't collect eggs from the second generation so I don't have data on it

[@hammad3180]

What should you feed if you dont have brine shrimp? Can you continue with the fry powder?

[@MakeMoreFish]

You can just keep feeding dry food with an increasing size. First a powder, then fine grains, then nano pellets etc. First bites might be a good next step after the powder. Finely crushed flakes maybe.

[@hammad3180]

​@@MakeMoreFish oh thts a relief😅

[@lemonlizard1]

Great video! Have you considered breeding green neon tetras? They're harder to breed the normal neons & there isn't much info on it

[@MakeMoreFish]

Interesting.. I might do that then. I'm working with emperor tetras right now but will be looking for other species afterward.

[@endreholthe8317]

How long on frypowder before they were big enough for brine? Love the videos 👍🏻

[@MakeMoreFish]

The first couple of weeks or so. They do fine on a fry powder for longer than that but I like switching to BBS at the soonest opportunity

[@SaadKhan006]

How long do fry take to grow to 1inch?

[@MakeMoreFish]

3-4 months for me. Very slow

[@mensb1936]

i love you please keep making videos

[@tobibert23]

Nice Videos keep it coming :)

[@artigotale]

The females are actually pretty colourful too
