Raising and Feeding Tiny Gourami Fry

[@jovelitooo9705]

The frys are just like betta frys. So tiny and fragile. And also I think breeding is a lot more easier than rearing the frys. Please keep updating us. I hope you successfully rear and grow the frys to adulthood. Congratulations

[@kaimukibackyard148]

Absolutely! Raising Fry is Harder than Breeding Fish. That's actually the second part of my title for upcoming video.

[@heldersanches]

I was surprised to have sparkling gourami fry just a few days after i had bought 5 of these wonderful fish. Uncountable fries were hanging like minuscule bats under a frogbit floating plant. I quickly prepared an old small tank with water from the main tank, add some pothus and waterlilies roots to the tank and carefully moved the floating plant from one tank to the other with a small mug. Then I used an old Moulinex 1-2-3 machine to convert into a very fine powder a mix of dried shrimp turtle food, tropical fish flakes and cold water fish flakes. I tried to raise some infusoria but only succeeded in time for the third batch of fries. It's been an amazing experience. I've had fries for 3 times in less than a month!!! From the second batch only a few survived because I wasn't expecting it to happen so soon after the first. The oldest are now over a month old and I'm still quite unsure how many will survive since they are still so small and fragile.

[@kaimukibackyard148]

Great accounting of your experiences. Yes, I think gouramis are easy to breed, but raising their tiny fry is very hard. Same experiences on my end too.

[@tallydane2770]

Thank you for the scale, it really helps me out

[@kaimukibackyard148]

Great

You never disappoint Kamuki, best of luck!

[@candy9229]

WOW ! I'm impressed. Good job. Thank you for sharing.

[@kaimukibackyard148]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@hinarichan7504]

That fry food is really good my mollys love it

[@movingwater7312]

nice! if i can give you small piece of advice: you can use coffee grinder to grind any dry food into very small powdered particles small enough for fry to eat. cheers!

[@kaimukibackyard148]

Very nice advice

[@kerigray5897]

so happy they breed for u

[@kaimukibackyard148]

me too, thanks

[@PSLVY1996]

They got babies now wow!!!

[@kaimukibackyard148]

I'm pleasantly surprised by these events

[@redviraltv5701]

congratss ! i can't wait to see their color

[@kaimukibackyard148]

me too. i suspect they'll all be blue, but I need the brood to live and grow to be sure.

[@aka1278]

So excited!

[@kaimukibackyard148]

me too, hard work though...

[@rpn8160]

When to start feeding the gourami

[@kaimukibackyard148]

In an established outdoor tub, I'm sure they're finding all kinds of things to eat. In an indoor aquarium, you'll need to feed as soon as they become free swimming. You'll have to have foods small enough for them or they'll die.

[@rithwiksreechand8603]

All The Best........

[@kaimukibackyard148]

same to you.....

[@dhothaka]

My gurami fry tanks has lot of mosquito larvae. How can I get rid of that. If I add a guppy pair, will they eat the fry? The fry are 2 weeks old and tiny. I need to remove the mosquito larvae. Please help.

[@kaimukibackyard148]

How can I keep my gourami fries alive??

[@kaimukibackyard148]

I'm no expert, but what I learned, I already posted here in this video.

[@connorwinfield195]

There so cute

[@kaimukibackyard148]

yup... :-)

[@lakshmammav6446]

What is the food to first day baby

[@kaimukibackyard148]

Basically finely crushed flakes

[@aarongatt6581]

do you leave them in tanks outside?? if yes do you make water changes, and whats the weather like in your country, and what about cats?? do they try and eat them? i would like to know because i am interested in leaving them outside too.

[@kaimukibackyard148]

Yes, I leave outside. Weather is in middle of recommended temperatures for tropical fish. The cats drink water from my tubs, but don't bother with the smaller fish that I raise. Your questions are the most common questions I received, therefore I made a few videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZXXYYGsbJWeq5Y explains why I don’t need to use filtration or aeration. kzbin.info/www/bejne/el6wqIGwfLKdi5I shows how I clean my tubs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJSlgp55i7qHra8 shares what books recommend for temperature.

[@aarongatt6581]

thanks so much!!!!

[@ankitdiwakar9669]

my guppy fries are starting to die day by day...majority of them are 1 month old and some other are 14-18 days old....please suggest me what I'll do to save them

[@kaimukibackyard148]

It could be any number of reasons. Please list the facts surrounding your guppies dying. For example, how many guppies, what age(s), what size tanks, temperature, other conditions. You may find that other viewers of my channel will chime in their assessments too.

[@waelomanvlogs6792]

Congrats

[@kaimukibackyard148]

Thank you

Kaimuki Backyard welcome :)

[@lonelywolf3209]

Do i need an air stone for aeration with my recently hatched blue gourami frys ? Please reply Thanks in advance 👍

[@kaimukibackyard148]

If the tubs are large enough, you can get by without aeration.

[@zekepereira5171]

My female broke the nest now all the babies are swimming around the tub

[@kaimukibackyard148]

okay, thanks for sharing

[@baraiyanaynesh9553]

Sir what is the best food for gorami's fry, which food you give to fry's?

[@kaimukibackyard148]

I'm sure infusoria is best followed by baby brine shrimp. However, I'm severely time limited. No time to culture infusoria, and heaven forbid would I have any free time to mix salt water and hatch baby brine shrimp. Therefore, I do what's easy and just let the microbes form in the larger outdoor tubs and do only what I shown in this video. Literally, I do nothing more.

[@markp3457]

what do you doto unhatched eggs?

[@kaimukibackyard148]

nothing, they disappear somehow

[@markp3457]

@@kaimukibackyard148 only few silurvive :( less than 10,, most of the unhatched eggs were full of algae. Im trying to breed again with other pair, but now i will try to put some methalene blue. After the eggs were hatch, do you still not remove the male for how many weeks?

[@lifeisfishy1416]

Hey I have a guppy fry dropping soon. Can I put the fry in a 2 gallon tank because my guppy only give birth to 9-14 fry?

[@kaimukibackyard148]

yes, 2 gallon can hold them for awhile. Change water often though, every two to three days. In a week or two, either change water every day, or get a larger tank, say 10 gallons.

[@lifeisfishy1416]

How much should a water change be ? Like how many percent

[@karljoe33]

What will you do if all of the gourami fry are grown?

[@kaimukibackyard148]

not sure. I doubt I'll get that many to be fully grown.

[@ojay9850]

nice video once again.......unfortunately I've lost my female gourami in the breeding process. I am going to give it a few months before placing the other female with the male and see if all goes well.

[@kaimukibackyard148]

good plan, are you going to share it on KZbin?

[@ojay9850]

I'm not sure as yet but if I end up doing so I'll leave a link as a comment for you to see

[@tripleorder8618]

do you use a filter?

[@kaimukibackyard148]

I don't

[@tripleorder8618]

now i know i dont need one thank you

[@ismailshariff4463]

Can I keep gurami 3 femails and 1 male together? I kept them for more then 1 month they did not breed is that necessary to keep the 1 pair in separate tank

[@kaimukibackyard148]

On 3 females with 1 male: Yes, you can keep together. On setting up a separate breeding tank: Yes, you'll need to do this. I have videos already posted on what I've done.

No, not enough protein.

Prawn and algae?

I don't know how you'd get the prawn fine enough for the gourami fry to eat. You're just going to have to try it. On the algae- gouramis aren't vegetarian.

I like this video very much .Thanks friend for your this video. Please friend give information about identifying male and female guarimis and breeding tips because I want to breed them.I have being breeding many livebreares your videos are very helpful thank you once again,I am from Bangladesh .

[@kaimukibackyard148]

Basically, for these larger gouramis (blues, pearls, moonlight, snakeskin), you use the dorsal fin. If it's pointed, it's a male. If more rounded, it's a female. I posted several earlier videos with the parent gouramis and you will definitely see the difference in the dorsal fin.

[@zelphernide5758]

Vinegar eels would be tiny live food for the frys. But I have never seen vinegar eel cultures in hawaii. Something to keep in mind for next time.

Most die off. I've only managed to get around 40 or so to grow up to the 1.5 inch size at which point I sold them to a pet store, which I showed in another video.
