BREEDING Whiptail Catfish - 50 Babies Made! 

Great video! I was happy to have the pleasure of being with you when you spotted the eggs and fry, it was a cool thing to watch 🙂

The little babies riding on the snail's back was a really cool shot! 😃

The quality of your videos, editing and your story telling ability is unmatched. I can relate to you so much as I’ve been keeping fish since I was 12 and I’m 34 now.

Omg so tiny and so cute!!!! I love whiptails❤

I've also bred them, i found once you see 1 hatched you can run your fingers gently across the batch and they'll all hatch at once, i just fed algae discs from birth

My royals began spawning just before Xmas. I have 1M/2F and both females spawn with him within 24-48 hours of one another. I leave the eggs with dad until they’re well developed then scrape them off and into a hatching tray. Once hatched I feed sera micron and banana or mulberry leaves. After a few days I start adding grindal worms as they can last up to 48 hrs in the water. Mine have been spawning every 7-10 days.

That's really great, Nick. Thanks for sharing it. I'd love to see a deep dive on your peristaltic pump set up, how you set it up, and how it works. Thanks again! ~Ron

You really remind me of my active Time as a Breeder & Dealer from the early 1980s to the late 2010s. You obviously have-as we say in Germany-"the blue Thumb"! Okay, actually the correct saying is "you have the green Thumb" (Plant breeding). I wish you all the best for your Future.🍀

Great video. I have bred them in the past. With mine they needed flow and high protein diet to spawn. I let the dad raise them in the tank. I found I had better success with the young if I had a ton of anubias. I guess that would be comparable to your banana leaves. I never fed the babies specifically, but good tip with the powdered food. Oh, they were all in a 20gal standard tank.

One of my most favorite fish, Great to see you had success!

oh man congratz! they look beautiful! ive been chasing some in Victoria for so long now. i lost my male aswell before any spawned =[

Awesome to see. Great job thanks for sharing.

Awesome video. Can clearly see how pleased you are raising these. Great job.

I'm a big fan of Whiptails. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on breeding.

oh my god bro, you caught one actually breaking out of his egg shell!?!? + the babies are mad cute now listen, I have been in the hobby for like 15 years, just recently my oscar died and he was the only one I had so I just stopped the hobby because it grew to bother me more than entertain, but your videos always make me wanna go back just recently I visited my local fish store and I realized, I really didnt want fish no more, but every time I watch a video of yours, I kind of want to get a new aquarium I can not make a decision if my life depended on it man xd your stuff is just too good to go unnoticed

Thank you, that very informative! 🇵🇸🇵🇸

This is a really well made video! I love fish but can't keep any at the moment but this was put together so well that it's super enjoyable to watch.

Another wonderful video! Thank you for sharing what you learned!

Love from India

I love this fish. I had 2 of them. Absolutely fascinating fish to me

You’re doing such a great job man keep up the great work. I wish I lived closer to you.

Great video. Keep the breeding projects going 🇯🇲🇯🇲

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing Quality as always :)

Well done mate ! Congratulations :)

Thanks for the great info

Wow that's amazing

You’ve got harder water than us Swiss Aquarists 😂 Good work!

I just lost all whiptail baby week a go , this video is helpful for next spawn

More great information!

20 years ago had 1 male 2 females lots of current he went from one batch to the other interesting fish

Love you're videos

I thought I was subscribed this whole time... I'm so ashamed 😂 Super excited to see how this goes! Very happy for your success!

Pretty sure cory from aquarium co op was watching ya in his latest video Keep up the good work bud

Nice to see!😊

Great Video ❤🎉❤❤

Congrats 👏🏻 on spawning these guys; they are beautiful beautiful fish. Several years back I was very successfully breeding and raising farlowella vittata, but no real success in the last couple of years. The parents seem to be eating the embryos.

i found with the whip tails cold water changes will do it

Storms trigger the goldfish to breed. Maybe there is something in it. Thanks for sharing.

Really good video! what about if you raised them in a tank with a lot of leaves and straight green water? you wouldnt be able to see them developing, but it could work

Wonder if a good food for these as babies would be something like bacter AE or similair bacterial shrimp food. Bacterial-colonized leaves are very nutritious on their own though.

absolute good.

Congrats on successfully breeding, hatching and raising these cute little guys. Thanks for sharing your experience with raising them.

can you do a video on ember tetras please and also breed them.

They are a interesting breed of fish. It be nice to really know the details of requirements needed to breed these fish as it sounded like you wasn't totally sure on that. Perhaps that is something you could try in the future. I have noticed in your videos that you don't do tetra breeding that much. I know that they are mostly egg laying fish but some of them can be challenging!

Hi, do you think you could do a video on sourcing decent fish tanks in aus

👍🏻👍🏻

Nice.

Do the leaves give them what they want from woods?

When is Green Cuisine gonna be available for purchase?

Pls Breed Golden dojo loaches is my favorit fish😍🙏

any update on the zebras?

where do you get your fish tanks from?

Could you possibly do one for Pygmy Corys? Beginning to think I ended up with 10 males?

Hello there, Is It possible to get your Bug Buffet in Thailand.

Amazing video, that's a subscribe from me, dawg

Whare is you location bro ? In amarica ?

How expensive r these?

I’m going to challenge you to make an aquaterrium for fry. Proper soil substrate capped with sand or fine gravel. A planted corner with an aerator to move the water. Another corner with a pile of dead leaves and a handful of floaters. This provides the biofilm, infusaria and algae. Add shrimp to clean, avoid snails that might eat eggs or at least disturb them. This is how I succeeded with bettas. Gonna add, no need for water changes or very minimal.

Love them but they’re so hard to keep alive when they’re baby’s.

It’s a hot place isn’t IT?

Hi . . . I have sent you a personal email concerning the bred of Danios here in South Africa, but up to now . . . it has been more than a week ago already, you have yet to comment. Does youtube have the wrong email address for you ?

POV his next video. How to breed humans simple

Is there anything you can't breed at this point?!

Dude FOR PROFIT am I right?

Third comment YESS

It would be so much better to NOT use any overpowering background music. Great video!
