In this video I'll cover my approach to breeding and raising Melanotaenia Boesemani, or the Boesemani Rainbowfish. In this case, recreating a set of conditions that produced a large number of fry against great odds.

Lowell sir , I don't have words to say but as a Fish keeper your channel and your work is not less than a gift for my life. From kid to now 19 year old always wanted and curios to see how fishes do in aquarium so through your hard and smart work I'm blessed to keep having interest in this beautiful hobby ❤ Hats off for your patience 👏🏻 🙌 It's worth it ! Much❤from india sir 🇮🇳
Your videos continue to impress! They're a masterclass in species profiling. Thank you for your efforts! There are many great fish content creators, but I don't think any of them are doing it like you. These videos are an immense resource.
💯💯💯💯your videos are both satisfying and intriguing. Please, if you have time, upload more,but I understand if you can't,you are one of my favorite fish RU-vidrs Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Man you have become my favorite Fish breeder channel! The content is fantastic, can you do an overview of your breeding setup and your maintenance routines?
I LOVE your videos. Not in a wierd way, in a fishy nerd way 😅 But I have to confes, I've seen few of them multiple times... Please keep making them, and ofc, thanks for making them 🎉
I wonder if the non-predation extends to other species? I just received a group of praecox I wasn’t going to bother trying to breed due to not wanting to set up another tank, but maybe it’ll work anyways. Fascinating content, as always. Thanks for sharing your findings with us!
Your point about "first light spawners" made me laugh. People love to apply hard and fast rules to so much about fish keeping. There are no hard and fast rules, merely suggestions and observations. Also, I'd like to share a hot-take here: People who only keep males of a species because they are more "colorful" would do better to just have paintings or pictures of the fish. When there is clear sexual dimorphism, I like to think of it as getting two species of fish for the price of one (well, you still have to pay for them, but you get my drift). Not only will you get better colors out of those cherished males, you also get much better behaviors to observe. Case in point, my main display has a group of emperor tetras which have about the perfect sex ratio of 1 male to 2 females. Of course there is some chasing and bickering amongst the males, but the interaction with the females is super interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing your videos. They are truly a joy to watch and super informative.
There is something that I have noticed, your bosemani rainbows have got that red factor or red hue to them whilst mine get more of the yellows with no reds, is it something with their quality or is it like your fish were selectively bred to have that red factor?
ive tried rainbows twice and for some reason it never worked out for me, my tap water should be "perfect" for them compared to some of the other fish i have kept but it just didnt go well
@@MakeMoreFish i have no idea, first time a group of 8 slowly all died out in the first 5ish months i had them then the second time was a group of 7 dwarf neons and all the males developed this growth/lump on their bodies... the lump was internal not external like ich and turned the whole area red i was never able to figure out what caused these growths no one i spoke to at a few LFS was able to tell me what they were and i was never able to get the lumps to go away but thru a cocktail of treatments was able to stop them from getting bigger and got the redness to go down a little, based on research and talking to ppl i assume it was a "tumor like growth" or a viral infection
