5 Ways to Make Money Breeding Fish - With 1 Tank! 

At 21, you’re making good money doing what you enjoy. Looks like you’re continually growing as well 👍 That’s way better than most people in their mid life. 😃

This was so interesting! I’m just getting into the hobby but I was curious about how people breed and sell fish. I’d love to see a video about how you package fish/plants to ship safely and affordably :)

Mate, take away the profit and you've just told everyone how to have a simple, awesome tank for enjoyment. Another great vid, well done and thank you.

I started out inheriting a 29 gallon tank with an old deformed western Australian Rainbowfish and three enormous Chinese algae eaters. I dove in researching the rainbow and CAE care,bought a 90 gallon,and it’s been an addiction since. I now have 12 species of Rainbowfish,plecos,endlers,ramshorn snails and 8 tanks. I breed the rainbows for fun,and rehome the babies as they grow. I should probably learn how to do this for some sort of profit. I enjoy it so much,there’s always more to learn,and watching babies grow from tiny little eggs to active,healthy,curious and beautiful fish just lights me up. I’m in Canada,and I’d be over the moon to be able to live in Australia and see some of my beloved species in their natural habitat(which I understand is increasingly at risk). Loving your videos!

The knowledge you have given me today in all the videos I watched so far is priceless

You DID give us a lot! Thank you.

I think this video was much more useful than you think! Top work, you’re an inspiration! 👏🏼

Great content my man thinking of building my own fish room soon meant for breading. I love the way you can keep it fun and informative

Just getting into the hobby and really enjoying. Have 3 small tanks throughout my home and it's great being able to literally go and watch a little eco system go by.

Great vid bro, I appreciate your insight. Your content is always so helpful. Your delivery is articulate and on point!!! Great job 👍

This was great! Very smart idea of using basically a community tank to maximize compatibility and variety with species that will breed together! Awesome video!

Been waiting for this! I watched your videos and successfully bred my rams. I will try this method!

Thank you! You are such a nice young man. Your parents did a great job🥰

Appreciate the video I’ve been in the hobby my whole 21 years of life but just getting into breeding so thank you for these videos really helps

Excellent. That’s the first time I’ve had it explained and it makes perfect sense.

Just found your channel and loving the content!

Very helpful advice man great video! Gives me some ideas to start my breeding tanks I honestly was thinking fish in different tanks with different plants like Amazon sowrd' moss ect but adding it all in one with a clean up crew is a good idea plus more room for my personal tanks aha

Your videos just keep getting better!

Gimme a tour of your fish room! Good content though, I love seeing helpful info getting out and encouraging people to do more in the hobby.

High quality vids lately, the work you have been doing is impressive, keep it going bro! Greetings from Norway!🤩

Awesome video nick! Thankyou for a very informative video 😊

another great video with heaps of useful info! thanks!

its awsome to see and recognise a local fish store in your video keep it up :)

Great video and informative!! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips😊

The most impressive thing about this video, is the dedication and knowledge in your art at such a young age.

When I was 18 I used to breed guppies and donate them to kids. I've really missed it lately and wanted to start a small scale operation like this. Thanks for the tips. I'll be researching more but so excited too 😁

Learned a lot from your videos! Keep it up :)

Could you talk about how you plan your breeding based on demand? Do you make sure you have a certain number of a juveniles from a species each month? Or do you just keep raising whatever is spawning? Thank you for all the great info.

Great video, thank you for the info. Maybe you can do something on how you ship the guppies, shrimp and snails. I was always wondering how that is done.

Hey great job and great information for the beginners.

Very informative thank you!

YOU ARE GENIOUS MAN! love your videos!!!

The previous lemon danio video tutorial works wonder on me The set up work very well Even with only 1 pair i get like 30+ fries Thanks mate

I really Enjoy your videos, very good explinations and style. Thanks for shareing

This was great! Very smart idea of using basically

Thanks! You have great content. I have learned a lot from you.

An awesome video with great ideas! Thanks

thanks! im thinking about starting a business and this helped alot!

Thanks for the honest from the start💯💯💯

Very good tips. Subscribed!

Fantastic info. Thanks!

Well done!

Thank you! Awesome video!

Love the vid mate still waiting for my plecos to mature so I can breed them feels like forever lol

Lol sitting here with 5 Tanks, mini pond and several smaller glas containers after starting with 1 mixed tank a year back looking for ways to optimize for breeding for profits having basically most of the stuff you mentioned. guppies, red and blue shrimp and tons of snails thinking about putting plecos in the 200L. I kinda became addicted to glas containers but makes fun. Great video on breeding fish for Profit for Starters. Fun to see so many similar ways and also learn from your experience. And yes more containers make it easier in the longrun but 1 is a good start you can achieve a lot from if combined well. Thanks

You're very appreciated!

Great video! I am wanting more ideas like this. Endlers blue shrimp and SRLF bristles in a 40gallon is my setup. Works well but want to do another tank with different things maybe micro crabs/rasboras/water lettuce/ java moss/corys

Ive had a 55 gallon for years now.. i put bettas, green cory cats and bristlenose plecos in just to have.. bristlenose started producing babies and got me interested in the others as well..! Found your channel and love all your content..! Cheers from Michigan in the states

Thanks. I was thinking an interesting video would be to discuss the various avenues you utilize to sell your fish and realistic avenues to pursue for amateur breeders.

Love your Content. Thank you

Another great video, thanks.

🌟 Wow. I dont have the words for this guy 🙌🏾 but im glad i found the channel.

Thank you so much! New sub!!

Your Blue Dream shrimp are amazing!

Thanks Buddy Realy Simple n moretivated...

Your vídeos are quite informative

Great video man

Loved the video, I was on the fence on trying to breed for some extra income... while I'm probably a long ways off from doing it... this video has given me confidence that it is possible to do it... btw have you had experience using duckweed to act as a natural filter to bypass the issue of ammonia and other similar things? I saw videos and read some info on that and it has additional income results too if you sell that stuff

Excellent video! 👍👍👍

The betta at 0:18 is so beautiful !!! Is he a galaxy betta ? Great video as always

This is actually a really easy idea 💡

Nice video G

Thank you great video!

Ur honest word 🤗keep fish simple

I'm double this kids age, had multiple careers, and I love how intelligent he is. I hope you are a rich man by now. You've helped me so much with my hobby.

Good information thank you

So I have Hawaii Variatus Platies and Endlers breeding in my 55 gallon planted tank. The bottom dwellers are Borneo Loaches, Panda Corydoras, and snails(Mystery, pond/bladder, Malaysian trumpet snails, and ram's horn.) However, I only ended up with 1 female Endler fry grow, whereas 30 Platies matured out (3 males so far).

This was plenty, thanks. I can at least get started and learn the ropes.

Check your local listings. From where I live, endlers and ramshorn snails don't really sell very well. They're basically free. But that's just in my area.

Cool vid I may try this

Could you do a video on selling fish at shops and whatnot? Would be very helpful!! Love the content

Shrimp always kind of interesting, gonna try that

I just bought a small rack of 20longs that I plan on using to breed, so excited! Not really focusing on the profit, more so looking just to enjoy and learn. I have a small colony of shellies that are going to be moving into one of those 20 shortly, then the next one will be a shrimp tank, and not sure what the 3rd is gonna be yet However, I definitely plan on selling some obviously 😂

VERY-GOOD EXPLANATION VIDEO :) THANK YOU FOR SHARING :) THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

Thanks for the suggestions. I have blue shrimp, guppies & platys that are breeding so it would be great to make enough money cover the cost of my aquarium equipment. 🙏

Thanks for ALL your hard work and knowledge you share with us! In this video you say we might have to "reset the tank up" for the shrimp, what do you mean by that?

Whoa bro you definitely did something right 😂 I'm 24 and work construction and landscaping. I bet it's super rad to raise fish for a living bro you should be proud

Nice topic

Aye this is good we same age doing the same method 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 good luck you can make that milly

21 years old. WOH. that very successful !

I think you gave a lot for your video. For someone to do it for a hobby and have their expenses paid I think that’s pretty good. I saw others mention it. I would be interested in knowing how you package/ship to guarantee survival.

A 55 or 75 gallon with a breeding pair of Jack Dempsey or Gold Saum/Green Terror also is a good way Calico convicts in a 40B as well

I would add a floating plant to all of these methods as well.

Thanks!

I respect you for doing what i planned to do as my dream Life, sadly the lack of finances from my family and the Place where i live male It impossibile unless i work my ass for 10 years to get the resources needed to start

I have an ecosystem tank like that with guppies, shrimps, snails and plants. But the type of shrimps I keep can get a little bigger than the guppies so if they don't get enough food, they'll eat the guppies instead if they could catch them. So I keep the water level high so the fish could run from the shrimp.

Great video the only fish I’ve bred are CPD’s I got about 30 fry that survived all were females. I was still happy to be successful though. I’ve had a pair of rams I got young and they paired up for about 6 months now still no eggs but every morning they do some dancing and lip locking with each other. I’m missing something 🤔

im having trouble breeding my bristlenose plecos. also keep up the great work! :)

I have really learned a lot from you. Wished you lived closer would love to have some of you fish.

A few months ago I found fish breeding. I have a large rack built with 18, 10 gallons tanks and I’m absolutely hooked it’s not easy and it’s not cheap . It’s a huge task every day that’s what will keep people out of it it’s heaps of work

Nice video! Can you make a video about how to sell fish and shrimp, please?

I have a backyard pond with White Cloud Mountain Minnows. They procreate very quickly.

I like breeding for a simple reason to see new young lifes

Shrimp are a bit difficult to bread with other fish in the tank. They work well with snails, and perhaps Neon Tetras, but basically, if a fish can fit a shrimp in it's mouth it will eat it, so the larger shrimp will survive but most of the babies will be eaten. This especially happens if the other fish in the tank figure out that there are baby shrimp in the tank. Once they've had a taste for baby shrimp, they will hunt them :-(

Love your honesty - so many people promote things as how to make a quick buck. The set up and maintenance is an expense, and a time commitment. If anyone can make a hobby profit a little that's good. So managing expectations is great. You are amazing for someone so young to be so knowledgeable, eloquent and credible. Respect!

I think I'm going to set up Option 1 for one of my tanks. Thanks for this video. It's super helpful!

I'm thinking some nice blue show guppies and some dwarf orange crayfish. Most of the guppies in fish stores where I live are all mixed and thrown together in a tank. The orange crawdads sell for $20 - $25 a piece when you can find them. If it would pay for supplies that would be cool.

I'm considering it. I literally have every fish I love spawning

Interesting; do you have a list of these recommendations?
