AWESOME! So cool to see, my fish mate but never see any baby fish at all. My filter might be sucking them up.

[@dr.monkeycrew.animalia9956]

Might be.. i just used sponge filter and did partial water change about 15% every 2 days.. i didnt siphon the bottom tho.. i didnot want to disturb the fries..

Hello, should you feed the breeding couple normally during breeding or should you rather take a break from feeding?

[@kyozanuro]

what is the best filter for snakehead?

[@dr.monkeycrew.animalia9956]

Snakeheads usually dont like fast flowing water so i used candle filter and changes water every week

[@shahbazhossain4977]

I have some gachua how i know which one is pregnant ?

[@shukrishukri1570]

those filter machine is On or Off during breeding?

[@dr.monkeycrew.animalia9956]

Power head was off but sponge filter was on.. i didnot even clean that tank until the fries were 1.5 months old.. i didn wanna risk parents to become aggressive..

Sir need one pair how to buy

[@weirdghost7468]

Hi sir..can I rear 2 male 1 female in 1 tank.? Will they bite each other?

[@dr.monkeycrew.animalia9956]

Yes it is possible, but if they form a pair they might attack other one..

[@nelsontokihara4273]

Do I still need to feed the adult when they start laying eggs or wait 1 day to feed them

[@dr.monkeycrew.animalia9956]

You will have to feed the female but the male will be holding eggs in its mouth so it wont accept anything until eggs hatch..

[@ajithp3283]

Hiw to understand male and female

[@dr.monkeycrew.animalia9956]

We will make a separate video on that please stay tuned

[@jerryhawj91]

I recently breed my channa gachua four times and all four times the female ate the baby without the males even knowing. I feed the female 3 times a day everyday with a full belly just so she wont eat the baby fries but she still does it. is that normal or just bad patenting from the female or do I just keep breeding until the female gets the hang of becoming better parent? what should I do to prevent the female from eating the baby fries.

[@dr.monkeycrew.animalia9956]

Yes that is normal for new parents but if it happens constantly then that female is incapable of rearing its young ones.. it is the male who holds eggs in its mouth.. may be u need to change the female if it frequently eats fries.. thank you for your comment..

[@ryanlian04]

When should I feed the fry

[@dr.monkeycrew.animalia9956]

Well i fed these fries in about a week.. started with hard boiled egg yolk ..

[@kiranthomas2319]

Gachua and limbata are different right?

[@kalaskarvenkatesh84]

What was the facundity (number of baby's)

[@dr.monkeycrew.animalia9956]

Well we had about 90% of survival rate.. approximately we got about 300+ fries in the end..

[@sujalthapa4595]

Bro will they fight? If I put unpaired 1 male 1 female alone in a tank? If you haw to pair them? I am going to buy 3 inch 1male and female will they pair? Or fight?

[@dr.monkeycrew.animalia9956]

I kept 10 juvenile pairs in my growout tank.. later they formed pair in community tank but didnot fight.. things went wrong after they spawned.. parents became aggressive towards each other in a separate tank.. after i removed all the fries..

[@dr.monkeycrew.animalia9956]

So i dont think they are going to be aggressive towards eachother.. make sure you keep them together in good tank size.. there is high probablity that they will form a pair

[@Hyraladen]

So these are native snakeheads? And you'll be releasing the offsprings to help it's population? So awesome

[@dr.monkeycrew.animalia9956]

Yes sir.. thats the plan

Well lets just say pollution and habitat destruction..

[@taitieu1805]

well, there are many species which are having a great number in the captivity aka aquarium, but they are losing their home in the nature and have no place to return. the natural environment which a species is belong to are as important as the numbers of that species itself.
