What a killer video! Whoever is editing these really hit the ball out of the park on this one! You've come a long way mate you should be super proud

[@michaelgeorge4643]

This was his best video yet in my opinion. Which was probably helped by the fact that pea puffers are ridiculously cute lol

How to keep fish simply: start a fish store, breed every type of fish simultaneously, produce high-end nature documentaries.

[@PufferFishes]

Nice

[@sharonjack8582]

I have had a pea puffer for 2 years in a 5.5 gal tank of male guppies. Heavily planted with enough ramshorn snails. 'Puffy' has taught me WHAT he wants. #1 He eats the snail eggs and newly hatched snails. #2 When the elder snails die off, he comes to the glass and lets me know to add more adults to lay those eggs.#3 I have never seen him eat an adult snail. He gets mad at the occasional one that he suspects is not laying enough eggs and PUSHES the snail over. That's all. CONCLUSION - there is a wonderful BALANCE in this tank due to the snails constantly cleaning while Puffy keeps them from over-populating. TWO YEARS of this now. I LOVE it!!!!!!😊😊😊

[@elijahjenkins965]

Bro you are a legend! I've been told by anyone who knew what pea puffers are that they are literally impossible to breed in captivity and you just did it like it was easy.

[@christianleeperrr7641]

The footage, audio quality, documentary style, microorganism footage, in my humble opinion this is the best thing you’ve produced on KZbin by a large margin, I would eat up longer versions of these.

[@kernalbert4939]

I feel the opposite. I get it. But I don't want Discovery Channel Foley work and slick visuals, I want a guy passionate about fish talking about breeding fish...

[@temperaturecheck]

@@kernalbert4939watch someone else?

[@goberianchloex3646]

@@kernalbert4939 well what you morning about then, you have both! This young lad does both and does it well and amazingly is as humble a person as can be. I bet his partner helps a lot too but the poor women of these creators don’t get enough credit. Behind the scenes I mean x

[@papayin5930]

This is one of the best breeding videos I have ever watched. U are killing it and slowly becoming one of the faces of this hobby, keep it up ❤

[@mimzywhimzy]

This was as fantastic as any top tier nature documentary I've ever seen. Fabulous on every level; from the story to the soundtrack to the camera work... Bravo. Just an absolute treasure!

[@lisasaxon7828]

I’ve been breeding for the last 2 years and adore them all infact it’s sad when they find their new adopted home. I lift out the mop n shake it into a tub or just do a siphon n check the water. They’ll spawn usually after lunch into the eve at times as you’d know it’s 5 days til hatching. I keep my eggs simply in a dish floating ontop of water that way I can double check on things at a close glance. I chop up the blood worms really small so they can try eat from about 4 weeks old Looks like your doing a grand job daddy, luv the “yum” sound affects btw…aren’t they just the most cutest lil guys to keep. Well done n cute video 💙

[@JohnDoe-cd6ro]

This was an amazing video. I felt like I was watching a high production value doc like _Planet Earth_ or something.

[@AndrzejLDotEu]

That was brilliant 😁. The added sounds of puffies slurping was just highlarious! 🤣🤣🤣

thank you so much for saving these endangered species so that i can see my favourite fish species in near future as well

[@maurelius8344]

the quality of this video is amazing. Congrats.

[@-EJ00]

I have 6 pea puffers, 6 tetras, 7 oto's, and shrimp in my planted 40gal tank. The puffers are such cool little things.

[@ericb4492]

Omg. The price is quite literally 10 times cheaper here in Canada! Great job breeding them!

[@januszzagula6412]

In Europe (Poland) under 2$

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

Yeah, your average LFS in Canada can probably import them in bulk from huge wholesale fish farms in the US and Asia. Every single pea puffer in Australia is locally bred (normally by hobbyists), and we’re not allowed to import them. Only a few years ago it was normal to see them for sale for $250AUD each… the price has about halved since then, but they are still a pretty hot commodity.

[@IndoorEcosystem]

This was a super cool video! ❤🎉

[@dt2568]

Omg the editing on this one is amazing. I loved all the sound effects!

I don't usually comment on anything but i have a pea puffer and I LOVE THIS VIDEO. Its a real work of art, and so moving as well. Please never take it down ...more puffer content please!

[@clive-yu]

High Quality Content!!

[@nrledites7120]

Mate you really put that together Perfect. Highest of Quality well done.👍

[@KushyCouch]

One good thing to mention when keeping Pea Puffers is to make sure to treat them for parasites. Do it when you get them and after a few months bc parasites can and will hatch after a few months. I lost 2 when I kept Pea puffer to this parasite, 1 not long after getting them and another after a few months bc parasites hatched.

[@biggusrichard1721]

I lost mine too first time ive cried from losing a fish

[@sharonjack8582]

I like your videos! This one is FABULOUS!!! I have a pea puffer in with my male guppies in a 5.5 gallon tank. The reason all is well is 1) the tank is FULL of live plants for lots of coverage 2) there are a LOT of ramshorn snails. 'Puffy' single-finnedly manages the WHOLE colony of snails by himself. He eats the snail-eggs AND the baby snails. He leaves the adult snails alone. As the adult snails eventually die off from old age, I add more snails from my other tanks. Puffy works everyday checking the eggs. He does NOT bother the guppies. Occasionally the boy guppies try to get amorous with him and he just swims away, lol. It is one of the great joys of my life to watch this 3/4 inch fish manage this snail colony. It is very important to add more snails when the old ones die naturally of old age, after laying lots of eggs in their life-time. 2 years now, this has been going on. LOTS of plants encourage the snails laying their eggs, and give Puffy lots to keep 'interested' in. He carefully SCANS every square inch of the tank for his dinners. AMAZING little fish. I am so grateful to know and be able to observe him.💦🙏🐟

This and all your new uploads are hitting the right spots, you and your team (if any) deserve many more views, subscribers and fruition. Kudos to KeepingFishSimple 🙌 ❤😊

[@DonnaArnold1981]

Really missed your breeding videos, it feels like it’s been ages. You replied to me a few weeks back that you would be realising some new breeding content. So I was so excited to see the upload. 😃 This one reminded me of mini documentary, like something that you could show in schools etc, great job 👏🏼👍🏼 Don’t get me wrong I still love your raw breeding content too and will watch whatever you put out. I love all your breeding/raising fry content. 🐟😊

[@Alex-S.]

Brilliant video! 👍 Love the sounds efects 👏👏👏

[@HarlanFord]

Number 1 favourite video!

[@s0neskim]

I used to have two of these because i caught them by accident. Unfortunately at the time, I don’t have any knowledge nor experience in keeping fish except for my grandparents. So I decided to place them in their smallest pond and they died because the water parameter was different with the ones they’re used to. Didn’t know it would be so expensive!

[@blujeans9462]

Your recent videos have really gone to the next level! Excellent...and all the best!

[@dustinking4004]

[@knabdank]

its nice to see these going down in price like a year ago they were around $200 or $300 for one, now im seeing them going for as low as $70 which is great for someone like me who cant afford to spend almost half a weeks pay on a single fish and ive really been wanting some pea puffers! hopefully gonna wait till i see them down aroun $30 though.

[@nicktaylor1970]

The video editing has got so good, this has got more comparable to a documentary then to a youtube video. keep it up.
