BREEDING Honey Gouramis | Day 1 to 150 

Let me know if you liked the style of this video! I filmed it on my phone lol

I bought a pair of honey gouramis from a fish shop in Fortitude Valley in 1979. Three months later, I had batch after batch of spawn. They are the sweetest-tempered gouramis and the babies are almost as cute as baby corydoras. I still live in Brisbane, but need to pull my finger out and get a tank again.😏

First fish that ever spawned for me! Love honeys

It is one of the easiest fish to breed. I've even had them try in the bag on the way home from the shop. I prefer the wild colouration though. They are happy in a Styrofoam box with some plants. In Cairns, they'll breed outside all year round.

I have not kept a Honey Gourami in a few years....this made me really want to pick up a pair. I adore their little "arms" and they way they genlty touch things with them. Thank you for the fantastic footage and awesomely fun narration!

You are the best.... inspired me ❤️ Mohamed form Egypt 🇪🇬

Hoping the bug buffet becomes available over here in the states soon. Appreciate your videos and they are why I started my fish room back up. Currently only up to 30 tanks but is very enjoyable and is my form of therapy. Thanks again

I love Gouramis!!!! I was literally looking at some (not these types) in my local fish store yesterday! Also, the quality of these videos though... The lighting, pacing, music, shot selection... chefs kisses. This channel is awesome

This is the best fish RU-vid video I have ever seen. I got some blue planet vibes from this. You are a regular David Attenborough. 5 stars! Always been my favorite and most inspiring fish youtuber. Keep it up.

Just got my first honey gourami last month, such a beautiful lil fish with an adorable personality 💛

Cute!

i loved the videography!! can’t believe this is with your phone!

Your "how to make more fish" videos are always great, Nick! Thanks for this one. Cheers, Mate! ~Ron

Wow super interesting and fun to watch! More videos like this please!

Wow i love this fish

Amazing documentary ❤

Really like this. Great content, as ever!

Dude the bug buffet is the truth.

Your video making quality is getting better day by day. Btw, I didn't get what was filter juice. Please explain more about it.

So glad you made this. I've had my honeys spawn twice in the past few weeks with no success at raising fry. On another note....been loving all the Dean footage too, but when do we get to see the footage from your visit to The Garden Of Eder?

Thank you for being such an inspiration. FYI, I'm now a rainbow junkie because of your channel! I would love for you to come to an Aquashella! Any chance you will be in Dallas in May? Thank you again from California!

I love the way you make the videos it's freaking awesome... You should please try to breed kuhli loaches one day it will be awesome to see how you breed them.....

Your videos are getting better mate ....hats off 👍 keep delivering the goods 💪

Keep up the great work!

Great video, I always like your breeding projects 🇯🇲🇯🇲

Awesome video mate! very inspiring 🙂

The little whiskers on the fry too ❤

Wow I literally just got a pair. I'm going to do the same thing! Amazing video once again!!

Awesome video as always 👍

INTERESTING :) THANK YOU FOR SHARING :) THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

loved breeding these so awesome

I like this style of video.

Lovely video. Lovely videography

Satisfying and relaxing ❤

Thank you so much for these little pleasure pills...always so fun to watch

Amazing Gourami! Nice video 🎉

The fry are adorable!

Love this breeding videos!!!😍

Nice video, thanks for work

Awsome Vid mate .... Thankyou .

I didn't know that the dwarf honey gourami breeding process is the same as the betta's. I will keep these fish in mind for my 20 gallon long tank. Wonderful introduction of this content.

I would love to see this experiment with dwarf gouramis as well specially blue with the red ones

I love these

Lovely fish

I love honeys. Part of my daily routine is to go get a "high-five" at feeding time from mine. He's an inquisitive little dude!

Cool Nick. Now the Trichopsis Vittatus. Really interesting fish too. Heading them is cool, like boulders in a glass pot.

I wanna try caring gouramis after wacthing this video

You are good!

You should try pygmy gourami (Trichopsis pumila), they are super cute.

Great video 😊 Detroit

Thanks for adding the cross at the end! The red must be dominant. My guess is you’ll probably get a quarter of the yellows back if you cross the siblings. And a 50-50 split if you cross one to a yellow again. Super cool!

i love honey gouramis my favorite fish

I've breed Paradise Gouramis, very similar behavior and process.

Hey Nick, awesome video as always... Just my thoughts... I actually am not a fan of the video with the little voices you added on , The videos with just the voiceover and background music hit it just right for me. Love all the work you put out, and wishing you all the success in your journey.

loved this style, adored the little voices! you have a great sense of humor! 😊

They are super easy, but if you want to go real east with allot of color go to paradise fish (macropodus opercularis).

breed polar blue parrots plz. They are fun to look and have a playful character

Thanks for a great video😊Could you please explaine what the filterjuce is??

Noticed new edit, style, and delivery.. it’s awesome

No surface agitation for weeks while they are still fry? So no sponge filter during this time?

Will you be making a video on how your hillstream loaches are doing, did they have any fry 😮

betta macrostoma next

please teach how to make infusoria from filter juice

If you breed the red-yellow mixed fry with each other, you might get different results. There might be some recessive genes in there

Man filter juice... I was struggling feeding my Dwarf Gurami and trying to keep the tank water clean. I'm going to use filter juice TY!.

I love your videos Nick you are such a big inspo to a small youtuber and fish breeder like me I am only 13 and trying to breed fish for profit i have bred my bettas, platys ,mollys ,guppys and white clouds do you have any advice.

peace be upon you sir and try use bigger aquarium sir

Please explain filter juice. Can you just squeeze a used sponge and expect to get infusoria?

1mm long!? lol really? That’s particularly small how you saw them is beyond me lol. The feeding footage was awesome. Impressive camera.

❤❤❤❤

2 am upload lets gooooo . I want a dwarf blue gourami so bad ❤

BRO PLEASE LET US KNOW when you have some gold honey gouramis for sale!!!

Are the banana leaves used to cultivate minute infusoria, as an astringent or just something to anchor the bubble nest on? I always add an Indian Almond leaf to any tank with eggs as the tannins have an astringent effect. They prevent any fungus from attacking the eggs though I remove the leaf after all the fry have hatched.

Most waited for the project. I tried twice,but since it is summer in India i didn't get results.

Can you do a video on ostracods aka seed shrimp, and what to do when you have a bazillion of them in your cherry shrimp tank. I have set up a bare bottom tank, and preparing it to transfer all my cherry shrimp in, so I can completely break down the shrimp tank and rid myself of these ostracods forever. I can only assume they came in on some plants I bought, so my bare bottom tank will only have potted tissue culture plants put in it. I chose bare bottom, so I can suck up any ostracods that I may accidentally net when transferring my cherry shrimp and babies into the new tank. I am hoping I can then set up the tank again, the way I want it, with substrate, minus these ostracods, and eventually put my shrimp into an ostracod free tank. I have heard they don’t kill cherry shrimp, but they do make the tank look awful, like it’s got fleas. I did try several fish to eat them, but all they did was scare my shrimp and ignore the ostracods. I tried, guppies, CPDs, leopard danios, neons and corydoras. If you could make a video on these tank pests, it would be great, because I have found next to none on RU-vid, they only talk about what they are, not how to deal with them. They say don’t over feed, however when you have lots of baby shrimp, it’s hard not to, because you want to ensure they don’t have to compete with the ostracods. I’m in Victoria btw, and love your channel. One day, when I can afford it, I want to buy some of your homebred hillstream loaches, to add to one of my 5 fresh water tanks.

Can't get mine to spawn at all :( I notice there was no filter going in the baby tank, is this the best way to get them to spawn?

Bro can you just help me how to feed decapsulted bbs for opaline gourami which are newly born

Honey gouramis are pretty much the most fun breeding project that I have.However my gouramis don't seem to color up. Even after 9 months they are still gray with the black stripe...and those don't sell so sadly it is a species that I'm not likely to keep breeding.

👍🏻👍🏻

Could I do this in one 40 gallon tank with a divider to separate the male and female. And then when the eggs hatch add the male to the side with the female? Also will the honeys eat their fry? Or could I get away with leaving the parents there the whole time?

Can u feed them bug buffet soon as there a day old

Do you breed them or they each other

Hi guys and beloved father fish.i did tank just like u instructed us to do. I put dirt-gravel-put 6 plants,ad a led red and white light. Spong filter,and one pothos plant on the top of my tank. The problem that I have right now is that the water keep getting yellow ish after about a few days. I don't know what I can do more.the plants are growing nicely. I have 9 different fish in it.a hitter. Even my rock's got yellow cover on them. Please can u help me?I put so many effort and time and love and care I my tank and fish and now I just do not know what can I do more or what I did wrong.

Does anyone know if these fish eat aquarium hydras?

1:37 WAS THAT ELMO?!?!?!

mine has bloated up like a golf ball :( i stopped feeding for a week now and no change. but aparently most honey gouramis come with a disease that does this.

I have a 10 gallon planted aquarium with 8 ember tetras and a honey gourami. Is there enough space left for a school of corydoras? If so, how many and what kind should I add?

will they eat their own babies?

Hi

hey man, a Brazilian fan here. I have an unanswered question, why do fish breeders use clay pots, plates or vases for breeding? Is there something special about clay, is it about the texture, color or something else?

What happened to the Betta fish? 😗 Do you even have any anymore?

#filterjuice

I loved the little voices you added in. Such a great contrast to the otherwise serious vibe of the video. Keep up the great work, Nick!

my honey gourami keep beating his mate.. why is that ?

This style for guppies 😅

Hey Nick, I reckon you should give RU-vid shorts a go if you have the spare time and you could do little summary kind of things with all of your fish and the operations happening in the fish room

I swear I heard them speak

Your music is too loud, especially at the end, I could barely hear you at all.
