BREEDING Neon Tetras in Tubs - Over 100 Fry! 

I read this and want to know how the tank set up is going?

I'm sorry for your loss sir!!!

Romans 10:9-10 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. ”

@@firedogz7355 he has suffered a loss and we do not need your religious gobbledygook

Much love and cheers for you. Must b heartbreaking to lose such a long time companion. This also inspired me to restart my love for aquarism and after reading your comment made me want even more.

you give this 63 year old hope...

@@pauledwards5607 Ha ha....indeed

I’m 18 and I just started fish keeping and I’ve got 6 neons in a 10 gallon

I’m 14 and I own 1 freshwater tank but this is definitely a great idea

32, 40gal/5/10. I love how this hobby is generational.

One of the best comments I’ve ever received thank you!

Fish are great for relaxation therapy

I so agree. This guy is so informative and really great for making you feel great apart from the fact that he is so good at breeding and caring about fish.

Wow, that's really cool! How are your tetras?

what do feed them?

I thought you were going to say with your mom

I love neons and i really want to breed them once.....

For the same reasons people use RO water nowadys: keep the funguscount etc. low, as well as the PH of course.

The eggs do benefit from humid acid and tannins. Coconut fiber has tannins so seems like either would work but the fiber does seem easy

The minnow fry have a blue line similar to neon tetra.

The cherry shrimps don't eat fertilized eggs?

@@luudantu7211 nope, shrimp don't. Snails will

Most shrimp will not last long in RO water (it takes a long time to get them used to that) ;)

@@muurrarium9460 I was thinking the same thing. Most of the research i've done says that shrimp like harder water. but lower-ish pH

I think a better method for this is than the shrimp is Methalyne blue, it even says it on the bottle, keeps eggs from fungusing up

cringe take

Glad it's not just me. I've been out of the hobby for a long time but I'm still interested in it. You can't just buy a tank on its own, they only seem to sell complete set ups with things you don't want or need!

Perhaps it's a better way to make your own. You can purchase the supplies online? It may take a while and you might mess up but what if you don't! 😊

Update?

Got my first viable looking eggs today. I've only been doing one container and pair, but if the fry survive I feel pretty confident in scaling up to trying multiple containers.

@@smob0 Since it's been a few more months, how did it all work out?

​@@smob0any updates from the update?

Nice video.

I have a Molly that does this. It goes totally limp in you freak out out.

I find this very peculiar that these particular fish(in fact all of them) have a fainting ability(which is called "immobile" stunt or faking death) weird adaptation for a survival tactic. Most predatory fish or animals in general have an auto-feed response to kill and it stops about 99.9% of those predatory fish brains from attacking if their prey "isn't moving" while sending a distress signal to other prey in the area or to other predatory fish,it's not inaudible cause they can hear subtle discrepancy sounds we humans can not hear or see(hertz has a wide system.. we can not hear anything below a 1 decibel or higher than 10 decibel) there are expections(like with me hearing at -5 to -30 that's cause have small hairs in my ear drums) ..anyways .. With neons they love rain water(they also an attuned to " *Agitated* " falling or running water that forces them to either want to drink or jump to catch clean water from the source(which is why they jump from tub to tub, yes I've solved your riddle to them jumping) reverse osmosis water has as you stated about 6.5 ph.. but I normally have mine alittle cleaner around 3.5 ph. I heat my rain water to about 100-120 degrees then allow my gallons that were heated to be naturally cooled off,I want dust,debris, parasites,bacteria to have died off.. you can pressure steam or boil your rainwater both are fine.. My betas(particular the crowntails) love when I drop just a small amount of squeeze lemon juice from the fruit into their tanks. Same with my gouramis(they love oranges) and the senegal butchers they love(cherry juice from the source) so you see all of them have likes of various fruits found in their respective regions of origins..

Wow. You wrote a fucking novel.

@@Interceptorconcepts The downside of being a writer. It is hard for me to do short explanations. 😄

@@sarahkwast1250could have wrote it in 3 sentences or shorter my god😏😂

So do you think it would be okay to breed them in a 10 gallon tank and doing all this except for messing with the TDS?

​@@dingodyno9016you could try. It totally could work, but the tds is a great way to encourage more breeding. If you do use a low tds system, just acclimate them over time or add it through the use of a 10-20% water change. It's much less risky and still has the effect of the fish feeling a lower tds

Anderson, como faço pra visualizar os vídeos do KFS em português ? O conteúdo é Surreal, porém ... !

Yeah but he's now bred them and will continue to improve them.

I’ve just ordered some from Aquahuna-reviews say they’ve got a much harder strain. Fingers crossed!

Healthier environment can help

Capture, shipping and quarantine are all damaging to these fish. Many places use prophylactic medication treatments that are harsh and often build up in fish. They are certainly not the sort of fish you expect to attain the optimal egg health or number for spawning. This is why the fry tend to be so much healthier. With care you can even break the cycle of parents infecting young with unknown parasites, by raising fry in systems with no adults. Done well you will have plenty of fry to pick the best pairs from, to create ideal display fish. Dont forget we are selecting for different traits than nature selects. We want big calm chill pretty fish :) you may not achieve domestication, but you can create a bloodline with enhanced pet fish traits :)

The fry are usually much healthier than the original fish, but not nearly as healthy as high quality neons would be
