Secrets Shared by a Life-Long Fish Breeder | Tour 

I'm so grateful he let you film this. When these experienced breeders are gone so are all their secrets. This will help carry on the hobby and tradition!

These life-long fish breeders are such gems to the hobby

This was a great day out, Trevor has a world of knowledge and him and his partner are lovely people to have us there for the day, it was a long day 12 hours and you put it into a 2 hour video that was great to watch, good to show people the workings of a fish wholesaler, they live a busy life looking after all those fish so people can enjoy them down the track and after all this work they go for such a low price to, I really enjoyed this trip, Thanks for having me and letting me tag along for the ride, I really enjoyed watching this video it will bring back memories 🙂

What a testament to you as a person that you've managed to make all these great friends in the hobby and fish business. People are usually only so generous with their time and knowledge with people they genuinely like, so that says a lot about you mate and it's awesome that you then share all that with us too. Thanks 😊

2 hour vids are such a gem. Thank you

That was a SHIPLOAD of knowledge shared, thank you so much for sharing this!

The glass stacked tanks scares me lol. Great vid, I got some good ideas for my gurami fry tanks thank you!

My 21yr old son sent me this link with must watch. He said he does so much like you used too. And yes this breeder has so much commonsense, in both tips and reasons. The majority of the aquarium industry s and enthusiastic keepers will generally share good information. I'm in sth Australia and have bred fish both hobby and commercial since age 12. I'm a big fan of green water for fry especially for gourami, fighters and more . I recommend grey food grade or heavy white IBC s to assist with algae reduction. With my old set up early 2000s I used old fridges above the IBC as the filters and the freezer was a sand filter feeding gravity fed shower head s for airation. I found later the curved edges like he has aided against did jumping . In my room I would used a 1/4cut down IBC as a sump / grow out , good for gouramis and bagging pre putting in transport boxes. The comment re fish feramones us spot on to stimulate others or to bring on batches. One tip I have is i used turtle tanks with a cage n pump and a litre frozen milk container if rain water to bring on catfish . They would lay on the slope and a sheet of slate or glass on the side wall. As for sturbae I found by accident floating black tree tube pots were preferred. For angels I used base cut out old glass flagons to sporn on as with discus . This way they could be easily changed and an air stone added to provide airation and current over the shape and eggs. I'm about to start up a new hatchery now I have a farm. But I'm wadeing thru government red tape as now even a hobbiest requires an aquaculture licence some states as low as 4000 and 10000 litres. I have found that if you are a pet shop registration then it doesn't apply Mmm grey area. I feel I have a similar problems with water my bore water is pH 11 680-800pmm. I'm looking into a solar still for purification. Or buying it In. And rainwater tanks but rainfall is only 300-360mm per year . I'm also concerned about the other farmers spraying their crops . That shit carries on the wind. Keep up with the good content

2 hours long....yes please. Cheers Nick

Just want to let you know I purchased some bug buffet, my new guppies weren’t so thrilled with the flakes I was giving them but when I gave them bug buffet they absolutely went nuts! What a great job you have done! A big thank you! One very happy returning customer here.

I can't thank you enough for this precious documentary from an elder fish hatchery owner. I'm planning to start a fish hatchery too.

My fellow South African Trevor🤗. Show them how things get done 💪💪💪. Hope you stay well Bro.

By far one of the best channels on fish, biotopes, interviews and travel. Documentary quality videography. I think everyone wishes they could take a trip with you and your friends to locations in tropical Australia. As always, terrific video of a fish breeder and his wealth of information.

Great video Nick, well Done to Trevor and thank you for allowing Nick the opertunity to share your wealth of knowledge, Nick you have surrounded yourself by legends and hands down have the best channel, your content has inspired so many, myself included, 6 months ago I started my own breeding set up thanks to you, keep the content coming it's world class, Greetings from south africa kwa Zulu Natal

He's interesting character, enjoyed the tour.

What a great video! There were several things that impressed me in particular: Firstly, how on earth did you, Trevor, manage to find two hours to stop working and make this video! Second, how well stocked your farm is. I have seen many farms in different countries, and one thing that has frequently struck me is the number of wasted empty facilities. Really surprising. However, empty facilities are obviously not a part of your production strategy! Third, how you achieve so much with such a limited (and costly) water supply is hugely impressive. Fourth, how forthcoming you are with information that is so often a tightly kept secret. Open, honest and helpful. (You are definitely better suited to fish farming than politics!) Fifth, a beautifully made video IMO, even interspersed with some of that dry TC humour! A credit (as usual) to KeepingFishSimple.

African BlockHeads aka Lion Heads, I kept some years ago, they like to burrow, so if you put lots of pebbles in the tank before the sand substrate, they'll dig a labrynth under the sand among the pebbles

Love your videos, nice to see this side of the hobby.

Every time I watch one of your videos I think, this one was amazing. Sometimes I wonder if you feel like you’re living the dream! I love when you let us see into other people fish lives, thanks!

Why don't u do a hybrid video of breeding guppies and molllies I would love to see that 😊

Just got my order of Bug Buffet and holy crap dude my fish go nuts for it! You got something with this one man 👏🏽. Im gonna order another bag asap

That was so bloody fascinating you have to check out the other farm. Now I have to convince the Mrs we need a tunnel in the back yard 😂 I’ll tell her it’ll be a greenhouse but little will she know 🐟🐟🐟😂

WOW this is an AMAZING tour (my favorite one ever) this breeder has so much knowledge

Amazing and inspiring. Thanks for sharing 👍

Hi bro, all the way from Seychelles. Have been subscribed for a while and I must say your videos are the best. Keep up the great work 👌🏾

Trevor's generosity in sharing his years of knowledge and experience is amazing! Gotta say, I'd never had imagined half the things we saw. Thanks to both of you for the video.

G’day Nick, I watch fish keeping videos from all over the place and without any doubt yours are the most interesting and well put together films out there. You’re going to be huge once the world catches on. This video was brilliant and the information and tips given by Trevor was excellent. Thanks 👍🏻

This guys been breeding fish for so long he never comes out of the fish room and thinks they are "people" 😂. Adorable 😊

Nick, Trevor speaks of breading with hormones. Could you do a video about it? Maybe some experiments also? I would really like to bread kuhli loaches and they say, they only breed with hormones.

Love his facility! Thanks for sharing 😊

Thx show. The farm

Do you still Breed L134 if so, can you do a video on how to care how to breed & water quality I know you got similar videos like that but can you do a update?

Wow ....one of few Long video's I liked and watched it more more time❤

Another great video! Can you explain or do a future video on “hormone induced breeding”. Thanks for your continued and very detailed videos.

I’m interested to know the substrate used in the bottom of the Cory bins thanks. Brilliant video 👍🏻

Oh my heavens I want those panda guppies.

Brilliant video!!! 🤩

Nick, next time ask about the hormone induced breeding in further detail.

One word “EPiIC”!

Keep up the long videos 👍🏼
