Breeding Red Neon Blue Eyes - Surprisingly Easy! 

Love seeing these breeding videos. So enjoyable to watch. It’s also amazing to see that you’ve made your own line of fish food. Keep it up !

Excellent editing, cinematography, and lighting on this video. Love all your videos but this one was really amazing

I love how each video I like a mini movie - I mean we know tiny fry don't make a water whooshing sound, but I love the added sound effects!

Great breeding video! These guys look very cool. Thanks for sharing. Congrats on Bug Buffet! I’m excited to try them out.

Love the filming and descriptions, explanations of how to do repeat the processes for breeding and other things. Beautiful work thank you.

Can't wait to breed these, i started with praecox rainbows which i've bred at least 200 of. I now have 12 bosemani, turquoise rainbows, and neon yellows I'm waiting on to reach maturity and i just ordered 8 of these 2 days ago. Rainbows have to be one of the best fish for both beginners and experts just because of their hardiness, intelligence, ease of care/breeding, color options, amount of life they add to a tank, etc.. to anyone wanting to start an aquarium i highly recommend looking in these fish Thank you for consistently coming out with these high quality videos that not only teach us but make us want to buy new fish that make our financial advisors cry. Much love from FL💯❤️

I’ve been waiting for this video! I’ll be buying some of these for you in the future! Keep up the great content mate!

Just wanted to thank you I utilized this guide to import and breed Pseudomugil Gertudae in Florida! I also followed a slightly modified version of your CPD breeding video. Just in general thanks for all the info you put out there!

Well done Nick, I knew these would grow on you, I think they are my favourite as well, Great video!

I could listen to Nick all day so passionate and knowledgeable

Really love your channel! Thanks as always, mate!

Great video. Love some of the video editing. Particularly when highlighting male vs female. Great work.

Ive been watching your Psudo breeding videos over and over, Thank you! Also ordered up a bag of your Bug Bites as Im getting my first breeding pairs of Yellow forktail rainbows very soon here.

This video is really well made! thanks for sharing the info

Awesome video nick! Found this video very informative 😊. We definitely be adding some more spawning mops to my Pacific blue eyed rainbowfish tank. Great job as always mate 😊

Nice guide ❤

Love ur vids u inspired me to come back to the hobby

Thanks man I’ve waiting for this vid

Love these fish. They are so beautiful (especially the males). And their behavior is so interesting to watch. Thanks for this video

Stunning fish

Love ur contents ❤

my favorite fish atm! hope to see more videosss :D

Hell Yeah can't wait for the bug buffet!! Cheers for another quality video mate😊

Love their eyes!!! ❤

Amazing thank you

Amazing video

Very cool video.

a proper kfs video. didn't realise how much I missed it.

Good stuff! Looking forward to the public release of your fish food, the ingredients look very promising.

One of my very favourite breeders 🎉

You put out a very professional vlog, you need to post more often.

Hi I love your video.

Awesome content! These are my favorite Pseudomugils too! I use floating water sprite to collect their eggs and pull and drop.

I will try the same way with normans blueeyes now, another class explanation, Bug Buffet is a class food, good advertisment, I cant buy because Im from germany but I have a similar food

Amazing video! I have literally watched it a dozen times. Would you say you could also spawn bristlenose in their aswell? Keep up the good work. One of my favourite videos

Thank you for a great video. I used to have som pascais. Beautiful fish, but they always died quite soon. Did not know there are other subspiesies. Luminatus looks stunning. I have searched the web and found out they are also sold in my country (slovakia) for 2€, lol. Looking forward to see them in my tank.

I have kept my blue eyes in a 6.6g tank with only 2 Anubis on lava rocks. I ended up removing the parents and a few days later, I saw some fry swimming around. They are pretty easy to breed. My favorites are the spotted blue eyes.

LOVE YOUU ❤❤

When is that food being released, I’m going on your website daily to check for it! We can’t wait to try it!!

Great video, after almost two years, I successfully bred and and raised my first batch of Black Neons. When I started them on “bug bites” significantly more eggs were being dropped. (I can’t prove it, except for my observation and outcome) the “bug bites” made a difference.

Great video! Do you have any special tips, like the water parameter, or maybe the season that the fish would breed more often? I tried putting the spawning mob in my fish tank, but doesn't seem to see any luck with it

damn whatever camera he uses, i want it

Aren't you worried that youll squash the eggs when you squeeze the mops to remove water?

Hi thanks for all your informational and enjoyable videos. I am hoping you can answer a question for me. I have a 55 gallon community tank; swordtails, platys, guppies, and mollies. I also have 2 algae eaters, a variety of cory-cats, and 1 beta. Lately there has been a bite out of several of my guppies' tails, (males and females). Any idea who is eating/biting their tails? Thanks for all you do, Gary.

You should try breading Therafin rainbow fish.

Lovely video, at what earliest point could they be put into the adult tank without being eaten, have you ever tested? Thanks

Nice, another breeding video, I love these. btw i have a problem with breeding my anglefish, they lay eggs every 2 weeks, but doesn't matter what i do, the eggs go 100% white over 2-3 days. I tried leaving the eggs with parents, separating them and treating the water with methylene blue, same effect. What do you think might be wrong?

realy love your vids beauce of you came to the hobby .( can you try to breed Microdevario kubotai) gl :)

Last week I suddenly saw a single fry swimming in the tank, didnt have a spare setup running so left it in. But after a week the parents still ignore it while its freely swimming through the tank and its growing slowly. Going to keep an eye on it, see if it makes it. It eats flakes that I pulverize to dust with my fingers.

amazing video editing at the opening…. is this new?

I've recently started breeding these fish. Started with 9 fish. 3 males and 6 females. Up to 13 fry and 27 eggs waiting to hatch

Thank you for this video! Yesterday I got 12 of these fish to my aquarium. I just keep them and some neocaridina shrimp. I don't know exactly how many of them are males vs females, but I know for sure that I have both. In my aquarium I have a lot of plants, and some moss, and I hope that some day they want to lay eggs. And yes, I do have more aquariums to start using if needed :D

Awesome video man! What are the parameters you have on them?

Hey, thank you so much for showing! I recently got 15 pseudomugil signifier (6 males, rest female) and I LOVE them. The third day after getting them I put my first ever spawning mob in, checked one day later (today!) and I found 7 eggs already. It's awesome! I'm so excited :) Picking the eggs really is as easy as you showed in your video, even though I'm super afraid of squeeezing the mob out. Can this damage the eggs? Also, I know you are a breeder and have plenty tanks and all.. but I keep mine in a regular tank with other fish (danio choprae). The tank is quite large (200cm x 50cm x 50cm) There are plenty plants in it too, valisneria, cryptocoryne, and Pogostemon Stellatus 'Octopus'. The octopus grows in very thick bushes on the ground and they love spawning in there, started even on day one. I was worried they disregarded the spawning mob over these plants, or that the danios would eat the eggs from the mob but there are still eggs in the mob after just 2 days. So I just want to encourage anyone who has pseudomugil to give it a try anyway :) As I can't get your bug buffet over here in Germany, I use vinegar eels. That has worked amazingly well for my danios, which fry are just as small. They are super easy to keep around and I can only recommend anyone trying. I also feed the powdered baby food from Sera. Happy breeding!

To simplify further, I have seen others who just swap out their mops rather than pulling the eggs. Move a mop with eggs into another tank to hatch, and put a fresh mop in the breeding tank. Do you see any problem with that?

Nice video- I see conflicting info on water parameters on the internet. I assume they are safe in 6.5-8.0 PH. What are your water parameters?

I’m breeding them too

Thanks for the vid, they look awesome, any idea how they go with neocaradinas? cheers, Dave

Can u try breeding otocinclous ?

Hi there can you help me, I bought a 4 foot tank second hand which is great but has no glass lid, at the time it did not bother me as I do aqua scraping and I have logs coming out of the rop. What do you suggest to stop the e aparation. Thank you

👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Nick, I don't understand English well, can you write to me and tell me the appropriate temperature for hatching? is there a filter in the tray where you put the eggs? are the parameters identical to the baccalaureate with the parents? Thanks for your help. cheers from france

What is the different f designations that he uses like f1 or f2. New to the breeding side

do one for habrosus corydoras

I just wondering if do they stick there eggs on that mop or just they just drop it randomly on that mop and the eggs are automatically sticked on the mop?

Can i ask which is the optimum time of getting the eggs since i always get an infertile eggs i do get many eggs daily but the fertile eggs have low chance of getting it

where do you get your 20gal/80L fish tanks from?

When you squeeze water from the mop will you hurt the eggs?

Is it same with Glow Tetras fish? Can we pick the eggs ?

❤❤😊

Do the red neons hybridize with the other psydomugils?

Would they hatch and live in just a normal heavily planted 20 gallon?

These fish are so pretty! I always wonder about the mops though, wouldn't it be easier to either move them to your nursery tank or use floating plants that you transfer to another tank? I've seen Ryo Watanabe do this in his ricefish mini-ponds.

Do you sell any foods on your website yet?

When is the bug buffet available

alright so how do we get bug buffet over here in the US?

I have one pair from the last 2 months but they don't show colors. Can you suggest to me what I should do about that?

neon tetra but fancy

Is the bug buffet a new product of his? Or is it something that he is promoting?

Mine lay eggs on a sponge filter every morning.

Would these New Guinea blue eyes be okay without heating or chilling in a backyard pond/frog refuge? I’m in the process of building it out now and want to add some native blue eyes, but if these are “too tropical” I’ll just stick to Aussie natives

Firstly I put some eggs into tap water with methylene blue, none of them survived, they all changed white. Only when I put them into fresh tank water they started the hatching process. Hope I can breed them successfully afterwards, wish me luck😁

How much will the bug buffet will cost??

Only one question, the yarn 🧶 is it just regular acrylic/polyester blend ?

How can I get some of these fish in the United States? Do you ship internationally to breeders here?

This is my favorite species of fish! I've had great success breeding them in summer tubs. The only downsides are their lifespan and how prone they are to jumping.

What are the parameters temp ect ?

If I just want to keep the population around the same over years can I just leave the eggs in a well planted tank or will the babies never make it?

Can you breed them in a pair and can you leave the parents with the eggs and the babies? Or will they eat their fry?

Gotta put some jingles in start and end of each episode.

I think the fish are neat because it sort of looks like they are swimming upside down if you are not paying attention.

hello everyone...I live in France...I had luminatus babies, who are 4 months old now.. I put mops, I always have 8 eggs per day...but after 48 hours they all turn white... my question, are my fish still too young?

@KeepingFishSimple HELP: I suspect that I possibly have Male Luminatus and then female from another species. Will the female Luminatus also have the "neon" stripe along the back? Does the female Luminatus have any speckles on any of their fins. Thank you

Can bug buffet replace paramecium/infusoria for really small fry? I am planning to breed some puffers and I have read that I need to breed paramecium, it would be amazing if I could use bug buffet instead

Mine just breed in a community tank. I never even see the eggs, I just see the parents dancing around in the Monte Carlo. Then every now and then I spot a baby floating at the surface (luckily they always hang out at the surface) and I catch it and put it into one of a couple of plastic containers I have floating on the surface of the tank with Christmas moss in them. When they're first born they seem too small to even eat the powdered food I have, so basically they just survive initially eating the infusoria amongst the moss. I make sure about 2/3 of the container is filled with moss, and jiggle the moss up and down each day to stir up into the water whatever is living in it so the fry can eat it.

International shipping, you say, huh. I may have to partake.

I love these fish, but I can't seem to get viable eggs out of this species. I check mops daily, but I get very few eggs, maybe one or two a week, and they always turn white. I have a shcool of twenty with a pretty balanced ratio of males to females. I've bred other rainbows, no problem. Not sure what's wrong.

is't that squeeze destroys the eggs?

recommend me tank mates, i have 3pairs this fish and 3pair rummynoses only sofar

maybe make a rotation of mops and just transfer the whole mop and put in new ones. saves time from picking them out by finger. Time is money.
