@@nimaarezoomandi5325hi I feed them lots of sea food...blend together prawns muscles,squid,salmon,garlic and freeze....plus flake,pellets..😁

@@Koiqsehat thank you

Yes as you said maybe bad genetics and over breeding the same brothers and sisters together over and over but being a new fish to the hobby not sure . we're they wild caught and how many were deformed out of how many overall.......I got 18 quality goyger river from gerd bartz irg and all healthy....got ayamaru coming from Johannes graf soon aswell......I have bred rainbows for years and you always normally get the odd one with bent spine...my last batch I had 2 out of 30 with bent spine.......like in humans not everyone will be perfect.......have you get a abundance of deformities?.......

Yes it's hard.. I've had many mixed rainbow tanks And was breeding from 16 tanks..... I sold everything off last year and now just have the boesemani in the 8ft and .the goyder growing out,waiting for the ayamaru and he also got the tawa and lacustris....they all irg gerd/Johannes and are the best of the crop....the colour is second to none compared to the farm bred stuff....the cato a nice trifaciarta

Hello.. These rainbows are about 4 to 5 years old... I have some super red boesemani which are 6 inches now...boesemani are probably the slowest growing of all the species of rainbows....... All of the rainbows are slow-growing but boesemani are the slowest ... . If you can buy mixed bags of seafood which contains prawns squid muscles.... Blend it all up together with some garlic cloves. . Flatten it all out then freeze it...... Feed it to your fish they will grow quicker..

@@eyeinthesky74 Good to know, I have 5 x Boesmani, 5 x Lake Kutubu & 5 x Red rainbows. I feed mine once a day and rotate their food on a daily basis between a high quality flake, pellet and frozen. I had always thought it takes them about 1 year to get to their full adult size but I'm guessing that's not the case?

@@adamwickenden5981 they have been known to live 15 years or more that's why they grow slow..gary lange had rainbows live 18 years....they might be adult at about 2/years but will continue to grow..at 1 year they still small,about 1/2inches..bought from shop they already over a year old.....I've bred them for years and all different species...... I've got 19 goyder river from gerd bartz irg. Growing out at mo and got some ayamaru from Johannes graff on the way..they like boesemani but vibrant red at the back.. If you do the seafood mix blend it up and put it on some greese greaseproof paper and flatten it out then freeze then you can snap pieces off and feed..you can also put pellets in with it aswell

There are 6 females in the tank... yes you are right mate..I have experimented with dark substrate and find it just makes the tank look very dark..the tank in question has had black sub a few times over the years... I have other tanks with black substrate and other species of rainbow fish but not this big one.. Black substrate looks very unnatural against the scape/ brown larva rocks,abit of a bad clash black and brown.. Like I said you are right but it just didn't look good...gray or white rock black substrate 👍

@@eyeinthesky74 I agree. The hardscape needs to be bright in order for a black substrate to work. When I say “dark” substrate though, it doesn’t need to be “black”. Brown like aquasoil or red like Seachem Flourite also works.

​​​​@@onlyweiI got 19 goyder river from gerd bartz......absolutely stunning rainbows... . Will get them in a dark tank ...the red on them very vibrant..also got some ayamaru from Johannes graff on the way..looks like boesemani but red.👍

Go for it mate ...Great watching them spar with each other...try and get ayamaru....they similar but red at the back...

Those are fake plants....

There are lots of different species of rainbow fish....they are all different colours and lots of them are just as colourful.. getting them from a good supplier is best....most shop stuff is of low quality...yes they ok for hard water and mixed ro..

Rainbows like harder water, but not as hard as African cichlid water.

Seal pups are very curious but the adults keep their distance a bit more..Its the South Coast of England mate..Cornwall..👍

Thank you👍

Pls reply if you can sell pls reply

Yes beautiful fish if given the chance to mature.....I used to breed rainbows in 16 different tanks....all quite rare ones.....Great watch in the morning when the lights go on ...some great sparing with the males 👏

Hi mate....1 is red melon and the other 2 are super reds..no colour enhanced food....but I do feed sea food all mixed together with blender flattened out and freezed .....prawns.crab squid .muscles discus pellets garlic..

@@eyeinthesky74 cracking looking tank mate I've got chens discus my reds wouldn't be as red as yours , but I have yellows so cant give enhancers

@@simonmcdermott7052 discus are beautiful fish but can be hard work sometimes as you probably know......very rewarding though...it's very stressful when you loose one that's for sure...

@eyeinthesky74 yea agree on that and they are so skidish I've had mie about 8 months and they still get spooked . Are yours asian or german

They all Asian mate...32 of them cost about £6000😅 I think the more discus you put together the less these are skittish but keep 2 or 3 or small amount can make them hide abit........ I think safety in numbers brings them out

Nice one mate...see you soon👍

Hello... In the video there is about 4 or 5 different tanks.. The 8 foot tank has 2FX6... the 7ft has 1 fx6 the 450ltr cube has a internal box I built myself with a 10w powerhead and media inside....much cheaper to run than fx6...the archer tank has similar..

Thanks mate hope all is well..

All good mate, hope all is well for you too.

@@robertwelsh1973 all good. Seen Martin last night kinda today 😳 👍

He has plenty of space in that tank it's 8 feet long , discus only need 25 to 30 ltrs of water space

No problem...Brighton is a great place...thanks for your comment 👍

One of the best places in England rob👍

Thank you

Thank you

Yes They are very beautiful thank you ..

Thanks mate the gulls were defo on the attack...you got to take a drone risk to get the shots 😂

Yeah , I agree I go over the backwaters and someday your just bombarded but others they leave you alone. No rhyme or reason to it ?

@@martinjackson8026 they just think it's a bird of pray so they circle the drone..I had a few close calls ...

Thank you my friend much love from England to Germany 🇩🇪
