Raising Angelfish from eggs to fry..

[@MasterAquatics]

great video paul.

[@kevinv6378]

I like how you keep it simple with the tools you use. All basic things you find at grocery stores. Good job

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

Any time I learn or come up with a way to make it easier or cheaper I try to share with others, I don't mind supporting the aquatic industry to an extent I no they gotta eat, but... I don't want to pay for their vacations..

[@DJ_LittlePea]

I love breeding and raising fish it really does give you a few sense of satisfaction 🤗🤗 nicely done video I enjoyed it and learnt a bit too 🤗

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

PsychedelicBabe That's what its all about, sharing the knowledge.. Thanks for tuning in!

[@shippingexpert]

Just had a spawning. Will try your gallon jar method. Looks like it works well. Thanks for a well narrated video.

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

Steve Finestone It has worked great for me, significantly increased the overall numbers. I highly recommend it, so best of luck.

[@NextGenAquarium]

Great Job Paul. I love raising fish, I haven't tackled angels. I mainly breed plecos but once I get enough space I may take the bite hahaha

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

Next Gen Aquarium RODI's are a little pricey but there are a lot of freshwater hobbiest out there using them, you never want to use just straight RO water, the fish need some minerals in there water to correctly perform Osmos. So basically you start with hard water, run it though the filter then add back in what is needed for the types of fish you are keeping, in your case Apistos love very soft water so you won't have to add much..

[@lonnietran1925]

Pauls Planted Aquariums hey paul do you ship angelfish ??

[@narrateanewtunnel2352]

Great video Paul! Thank you. Question: Can you show us how you do the water changes on the babies in the bottle? Thank you again!!!

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

Laura Wrenn I can tell you. since the gallon jar is in a ten gallon tank filled with conditioned heated water it draws it's water in from the 10g down through the bottle through the bottom foam piece up through the lift tube and back out to the 10g.. So all you do is change out the water in the 10g to refresh the internal water..

[@JohnSheehan72]

Really cool video. I just started into this a few months ago - right now I am just trying to keep my fish alive. Unfortunately my tap water is extremely hard and high Ph. I am trying Apistogramma Borellii in a 44gallon tank - but I know I won't be able to breed them in my water conditions... One day I would like to give it a go though. For now I'm still just trying to learn the simple stuff. Thanks for sharing!

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

What you need is a RODI unit (Reverse Osmosis Deionizer) it is a special filter that strips all the chemicals and solids out of the water leaving you pure H2o you then add just a little of your tap water to it and you can keep and breed the Apistogramms..

[@JohnSheehan72]

I was looking at those - I know they are used a lot in saltwater tanks but I got mixed information on using them for freshwater tanks. I wasn't sure how they would be in a planted tank - but I know it would take care of the hardness of my water.

[@johnday8204]

Well done Paul thanks good commen sense and nice koi angels 😇

[@davidsfishtanks9347]

Great video sir !!

[@barbiearollado4475]

Beautiful fish

[@bigjayinga]

Great video, great info, thanks

[@nihalchinthake]

Hi! Nice video but the bubbles are way too near the eggs and moving the ‘clutch’ too much. There are easier ways to hatch them, putting the leaf containing the clutch in Tupperware box with a small sponge filter and some Indian almond leaf being the easiest method so far. Anyways, lovely videos with great clarity. And last but not least, the parent pair is beautiful and the young ones even better, especially the colour! Amazing isn’t it, when you see them spawning, the wigglers, the juvies, the whole experience! Saludos from Spain!

[@aashiquekhan2325]

My water TDS is 270 . Earlier my angel laid eggs and the hatching rate was very less . Now if I remove the eggs from my parental tank to RO water jar after the parents spawn / fertile the eggs . Will the eggs hatch?

[@danfloros4267]

egg yolk just as good as brine shrimp

[@sheilaedmonds5306]

How do you get plants that you can trust to put in your aquarium? I purchased some and put them into dime sz. Babies and it killed them all.

[@brianagius5937]

I have mine and are free swimming for 2 days now...they told me to leave them for 2 weeks..can i take them and separate them in a new tank? Also can i do waterchange if they are still with their parents im afraid they will eat them..

[@precymae1346]

Nice video...how long they will stay in the jar?

[@pestarrest5360]

This was an excellent video. Thank you so much this helped me a lot.

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

I hope it helps you out, and thanks for tuning in!

[@philthytanks4952]

Great vid dude, my angels (1 black lace and 1 phillipine blue) just spawned and I’m figuring out how to raise them n posting video updates on my page

[@rhetthanks6835]

Great video

[@rkurianm]

How do you change the water from the fry jar......

[@brianagius5937]

Mine spawned do you leave lights on at night or not?

[@nina2592]

How long did u keep them in the gallon jar?? My husband just poured ours out after 1 week into a 20 gallon...he removed our pair ike and tina to leave just the fry..now the pair are back in our70 community tank..but i think we should have kept them in the 1 gallon for 1 month till they were bigger..open for suggestions!

[@hajjdawood]

Mine spawned in a 125 gallon tank full of other anglefish and worse they spawned on glass, what should I do? Divide the tank? Leave it and see what happens?

[@susankirkland5356]

Anyone see a problem with a large snail (not the ones that get out of tank) cleaning the bottom of an angelfry tank? My tank is 20 gallons, and on the floor, so my siphon doesn't have much juice, and doesn't get the debris out very well - so I am looking for some extra help - and I have these 2 snails in the community tank...so I borrowed one. I have no eggs, I have fry that are all free swimming, and they have been so, for about 1 - 1.5 weeks....some are 2xs as large as the others, so I think they may have hatched at different rates, or something. Any helpful comments appreciated.

[@kariskitchen7562]

question how do you do a water change with out sucking up the fry

[@THEWATCHERISLOOKING]

Do you sell them afterwards. I can’t imagine you keep all these.

[@yazunakarmi3315]

do the wigglers die if they fall at the bottom of the tank? (bare bottom)

[@FallenAngel-he5ko]

hi Paul, can you please tell me how long until my Angelfish fry should be ready to sell

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

Sorry it took me so long but I have a new batch of eggs that should be grown out enough for sale in about two months..

[@cesarmejia3473]

Do You have koy angelfish for sale and how do I contac to you.

[@beth-rg8bm]

Fine mesh!

[@blueiceaquatics8205]

cool video!

[@purplesuninthesky]

Mine all died the parents started eating them then I started separating mom and dad and none survived.

[@ramblergreeneyes]

My angelfish spawned on the glass of my community tank, unbeknownst to me! I just realized what I was seeing were eggs! They are in a 60 gallon tank with lots of other fish who will probably eat them alive!! Is there any way to get the eggs off the wall and into another tank by themselves so I can save them? How would I go about accomplishing that?

[@ramblergreeneyes]

I've never had fry before. I've been an aquarisist for 2 years now and never had any of my fiah lay eggs or bear fry live. Total newbie here!

[@lindaford8513]

When you injected the brine shrimp into the large jar of fry, did you take the blue tube out? It didnot look like you did cause it was present when you demonstrated putting the shrimp in. Can you tell me how to get the shrimp into the jar? I got confused and watched the video again. I still missed it. Help? Please

[@nina2592]

A tube is put through the sponge and then its fed thru that.

[@beth-rg8bm]

Daphne can survive just fine because they are freshwater, tiny and won't die and pollute your tank!

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

Well if you're living in the States I would love to get a culture from you if you have one available?

[@christophersomerville8736]

DUDE GOOD VID BUT U HAVE TO PUT SOME PEP IN , THE STEP I WAS FALLING A SLEEP LOLLOVE THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF THE JAR THO

[@pamelafox5882]

How would I be to buy some of your KOI Angle babies?

[@paultrunick6806]

Sorry.. I'm in the process of a move so i'm not breeding the Angles at this time, check back first part of next year..

[@Tatananoriders]

Sir How many days we should keep fry in pickle Bootle

[@bailey.j3193]

i have these fish and when they lay eggs they eat them so i put the eggs in a jar with a heater would that be okay ?

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

You need to have an airstone to keep the water heavily aerated but not so much that it throughs the eggs/fry around and you will need to do at least a 30% water change in the jar every day. Once the are free swimming you need to move them into a tank of their own (5g/19L or better yet 10g/38L) with a sponge filter and a heater and still do water changes at least every other day. As to feeding check out my videos on raising Baby Brine Shrimp. Best of Luck!

[@rajibthapa3966]

Please make short video with English subtitle.

[@beverleyhelmbold]

Do you use the same tank water that the eggs were laid in ? ! am struggling to get to day 3 wriggler stage ! fungus is just so bad - tried to do it artificially as well as leave with parents ! nothing is working - used meth blue and fungus still is ramport ! any ideas ?

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

My first thoughts; are the eggs actually getting fertilized, un-fertilized eggs will fungus over within a day. So if you haven't actually seen wigglers you may not have a viable couple?

[@beverleyhelmbold]

@@PaulsPlantedAquariums Thanks for the reply Paul - I finally got wrigglers - but only on day 6 ?? do you know why ? I keep reading that wrigglers usually come around 60 hours ? why did mine take so long ?

[@Steamyarmpits]

Did your website get hacked?

[@wolfqueen-zs5nu]

Awesome

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

Got a whole new batch I'm currently raising right now, new videos on my channel..

[@beatatarczon1402]

those bubbles are killing the fry

[@fuzionsteel4902]

Where do u sell them

[@paultrunick6806]

Most of them online through "AquaBid"..

[@fuzionsteel4902]

Paul Trunick k

[@bakuloza6383]

You have made this video very complicated. You will be surprised I don’t use filter, heater, no frequent water change. I don’t remove eggs from parents. No methyl blue nothing. I just give best food to parents. That’s all and my success rate is very good.

[@vicp6828]

as long as their bellies are orange there fed.

[@mzapiain1]

DO YOU HAVE ANGELS KOI FOR SALE?

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

Yes I do. If you take a look in the description above you will find a link to my Aquabid posting, there is also a link to a streaming camera where you can see them free swimming in their tank..

[@Tatananoriders]

Sir How to clean not eated brain shirms baby from peakle jar

[@beth-rg8bm]

Why not Daphne!

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

I've thought about that but after talking to three different breeders I was told that BBS was the most nutritious for the fry?? And I don't have a culture of Daphnia, but I would love to try it!

[@tesbarnett45]

Question., why do breeding parents eat their eggs?

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

The further out of the wild Angelfish are breed and inbreed (as in the case of the Angelfish in the video (9th or 10th generation captives)) they tend to lose their parental instincts. I have a pair of Philippine blue Angelfish that are third generation, they just recently spawned and defended their eggs and young savagely, unfortunately, the other tank mates got to them little by little until all were gone, but on the happy side I did take out some of the eggs and I'm currently hand raising approximately 40 happy and healthy young P. B. angelfish. Check my channel for recent video on this, and thanks for tuning in...

[@tesbarnett45]

Thank you for your reply. Keep up to great videos.

[@PaulsPlantedAquariums]

@@tesbarnett45 Hope it was useful, raising them from eggs is for me the pinnacle of working with tropical fish! You might want to check out my latest videos, I am currently raising some Philipene blue Angelfish that might interest you..
