The Night Routine in The Fish Room *** How to setup a BBS hatchery ***

[@herbeenc8042]

That's it? People make it so complicated to hatch bbs in other videos that I never felt confident enough to do it myself but, watching your video I'm definitely doing it now!!. Thank you.

[@JustinsFishRoom]

That’s awesome to hear!! I am glad you are giving it a go. It is really that simple😊

[@Bad_Nana_1966]

Lots of work but your fish are a testament to all your labour, beautiful fish and learning lots! Thanks from Canada 🇨🇦

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Thank you Lianne! I really appreciate your kindness and support. If you ever have questions that aren't answered in the videos just send me a message on any of my platforms and I will reply ASAP:)

Great work mate. Definitely show more of the discus and the l201.

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Thanks, will do Steve!

[@DasEmpress]

Thanks for showing how easy it is to hatch BBS, Justin! Others make it seem so complicated! I have a new 55gal rimless coming, so I'll definitely try it when I'm set up and have some fry (of unknown type as of yet!)!! 😉

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Oooh sounds like some very exciting times a head for you, my friend:) Definitely keep it simple and everything else falls into place!

[@masteraquaticsjustcallmeed5115]

Justin, definitely add Discuss content, that would be awesome!!! Your Mom's Discuss are just stunning!!! I really LOVED the comment about how fish fry aren't growing as quickly when they are over stocked in a tank. I was wondering why my fry were taking so long to grow in one tank and in the other they were 5 times the size! DUH!!! Cleared that up real quick!!! Bigger tanks does help!!! Another thing I noticed was that the fry I left in with their parents also grow faster!!! I'm guessing that survival mode kicks in as well!!! I agree with your technical process for BBS, fresh live food is 10000000% better for the Rams. They just like eating moving food! Lol!!! They are cichlids after all...Little carnivorous bastards!!! To help you with the Duckweed... I literally take it and dry it out and make "patty wafers" and feed them to my Corys and plecos. THEY LOVE IT!!! And it doesn't cloud up my water. My Koi's and Goldfish also devour them as well. As always LOVE your content and I am always glad to see you deliver it with vital significance! You have a dignified teaching approach and I really enjoy how you are self taught!!! Which allows new and not so new hobbyist to take a chance and try new things!!!

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Wow! I must say your comments make, not only my day, but my whole week!!! This does really mean a lot and I am so happy keepers and breeders like you are a part of this JFR family! Thank you for always being so positive, supportive and just so darn kind:) I will have to look into that duck weed solution - sounds like an awesome way to kill two birds with one stone in my pleco tank:) Thank you and I really hope you have an excellent week:)

[@janellechew6193]

@@JustinsFishRoom Just wanna let you know how much your videos have helped me. I have some serious issues trying to find some beautiful German blue rams in my area in the United States. One of these days I would love to keep discus.

[@gustavogarcia1948]

Hey Justin, about algae wafers, I have not used them personally but have heard very good reviews about Hikari algae wafers. I have seen multiple KZbinrs using them as well. They come in different sizes and based on their webpage, they are specially designed for herbivorous fish, these wafers contain high amounts of spirulina and chlorella algae and they are specially formulated so they do not cloud the water in your tank. Think you should give them a try and maybe do a test on algae wafers for us to see which is best. Saludos y bendiciones from Guadalajara.

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Thank you for the suggestion. This seems to be what I am being advised generally so I must look into it. This definitely could make a good video so I will definitely consider it for a future video.

[@pelhamsaquatics]

Hello Jason, the algae wafers I use are the hikari brand, they seem quite decent. Also I have found for the plecos once or twice per week I will give them a slice of zucchini or cucumber on a stainless steal fork to weigh it down, I leave it in for 24hrs it does not seem to cloud the water. Also repashy gel food is magic for them, I use the soilent green flavor with a tad of spirulina powder added in. Sorry I ramble so much🙂 the nighttime routine is great! Can you believe I have not ever used bbs yet? After this demo from you that will change! Thank you mate🙂👍🏻

[@JustinsFishRoom]

I can't believe you've never used BBS!!! I am glad you will try it and see how you go - let me know if I can help further with the process initially. Thank you so much for the tips too. I will definitely try this and see if it improves the milkiness in the water. Have a great week my friend:)

[@janellechew6193]

You the best 😉. I enjoy all your videos. They have been so helpful!!

Thanks my friend! Glad to hear you got something out of it:) Hope you have an amazing rest of your week!

[@gavogr]

Question about the bbs feeding, Is the. Stuff in the Baster in salt water still? You not worried about the salt water mixing with the fry in the tank? Good tip on the mixing I will give that a go now as I’m just about to make a new batch

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Hi there Gavin! I have done both and there is no difference as the regular water changes get rid of the salt very quickly. I do also strain the liquid sometimes but I find I loose a lot of BBS doing this method:) Looking forward to your parcel arriving!!

Hi justin sorry I know it's off the subject but my male Kribensis keeps killing the female once they have fry,I was told to remove him,please can you advise, thanks from SA

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Hi there, my friend. Sorry to hear this. Unfortunately this is such a common occurrence with Kribs. I would try get another male as I have had males that are really aggressive and others that are very calm and peaceful. So you just need to find a calm one🙂👍

About how old is beluga and your other celestial rams? They’re very big and my males are still on the thin side

[@JustinsFishRoom]

They are about 6 months old now. They are huge fish for sure due to good breeding and good conditions. Skinny rams are unfortunately very commonly found in the majority of the stock out there. Try find a good local breeder who spares no expense with their fish and setups and you will definitely get a good pair.

[@miguelsfishtanks1070]

How do you harvest the bbs because I want to set one up

[@JustinsFishRoom]

I might have to include this into a video in the future as I just use a large pipette and keep topping up the water to maximize hatch rate.
