Hello! Been trying to refine my breeding method of CPDs for quite sometime. I stumbled upon your video because I do believe that collecting the eggs is simple keeping the eggs alive until they hatch is proving to be a bit difficult. I saw you said 18 - 19 degrees C but I keep my parent CPD at 24.5 degrees C and my fry at a similar tempature. I would need a freezer to get as low as 19 degrees C. Was this a typo? I could also be very mistake but I collect on average 200 eggs every 3 days with hatch rates around 160-175.
Yes. They will breed in that temperature also. But when temperature is drop towards 18 celsius i saw marked increase of hatching rate. Now i keep my CPD in 29 celsius and when we compare to low temperature breeding capacity is drop when the temperature increase. In 24 celcius means average temperature. They will breed well. Thank you for sharering your knowledge.
Yes as my experience best performance can achieve by keeping T in between 18 to 24. Colours intensity of adult's also increase at low temperature values.
Brine shrimp eggs have hard capsule. When we put salt water and let them airate 48 hours they will hatch and babies come out they are live. Here decapsulated means same brine shrimp have removed hard capsule and as a separate product in aquarium shops you can take them. They are unhatched brine shrimp eggs without hard capsule. That means ready to eat. No need to hatch and it may not hatched.
Hello, I have recently hatched baby fry however I do not have a separate fry tank. The only thing in my 10 gallon tank are the parents of the fry and some snails. Should I be concerned about the adults eating the newly hatched fry?
Definitely they are eating eggs and fry. If you put egg trap and collect eggs for egg hatching tank, most of eggs will servive and hatch. Fry count will increase quickly. But you are doing sustainable breeding tank. If you put much more dense vegitation ( plants,moss) then also most of the eggs will hide within that vegitation and fry also hide in vegitation. This also a good method for increase fry number. Snails also eat much eggs. Good luck !
Why do people persist in calling these "Galaxy Rasbora"? This name is wrong, and it has been changed since 2008! Also, it was never "almost extinct." They just didn't know about other populations, so people assumed it was threatened.
If anyone from Sri Lanka knows where I can order few of them locally, please let me know in the comments. They are still very rare species where I live .
@@thisisafact9181 brother usually with any new planted tank shipments they will come. But due to hight dimand it will Out of stock early. Here in most of pet fish stores have CPD
1) prepare well planted aquarium. 2) keep it 1 week for cycle. 3) put some guppies anothor 1 week. 4) daily feed them to stabilize the nitrogen cycle. 5) buy CPD 10. 6) put into a quarantine tank for atleast 14 days. 7) then acclimatize the CPD to your pre preapared aquarium. 8) 1st daydont feed them. 9) from next day start to fees them live brine shrimps twice per day. Small amount. Food can change with dr basseleer food varities and decapsulated brine shrimps. 10 ) don't over feed them. One day per week use to not feed them. 11) don't increase the fish density in the tank. 12) use some neo caridina shrimps. Algae eaters. 13) use good sponge filter or canister filter. Water flow should be slow. 14) ph 6.5 - 7.5 T 18 to 27 celcius Tds 100 to 150 is best Good luck. Please put an update
wow amazing
Thank you.
Excellent video. Very clear instructions 😍😍😍
Thank you.
Love to watch these amazing videos...
Thank you.
Viewer from Serendib watching the channel serendib
Thank you brother.
Thanks... i will give it a try
Sure
Thank you. Very detailed the way you describe different from males to females.
Thank you.
Good video but very annoying "music".
Thank you. Next time we will avoid it. Soory

@@SerendibAquatics so you recomend 19 or 24?
Yes as my experience best performance can achieve by keeping T in between 18 to 24. Colours intensity of adult's also increase at low temperature values.
decapsulated brine shrimp? like decapsulated eggs? did you hatch them or just feed them straight?
Brine shrimp eggs have hard capsule.
When we put salt water and let them airate 48 hours they will hatch and babies come out they are live.
Here decapsulated means same brine shrimp have removed hard capsule and as a separate product in aquarium shops you can take them. They are unhatched brine shrimp eggs without hard capsule. That means ready to eat. No need to hatch and it may not hatched.

want to know about corydoras 🥰❤️
Thank you. We will do a detailed guide about cory.

Yes. You are correct.
❤ arent they schooling 🙂 like rasboras
Yes they are schooling as well as shoaling
If anyone from Sri Lanka knows where I can order few of them locally, please let me know in the comments. They are still very rare species where I live .
@@thisisafact9181 brother usually with any new planted tank shipments they will come. But due to hight dimand it will Out of stock early. Here in most of pet fish stores have CPD
@@SerendibAquatics yep that's the case , every time I ask for them either they are out of stock or unavailable
@@thisisafact9181 where are you from?
Do Peacock Gudgeon next
Will try to make a good guide. It will take time. 🙏
@SerendibAquatics take your time. Your videos are very detailed and informative. I subscribe
Thank you. 🙏
I just can't keep them. Idk why. I have done everything possible but they kept dying. The only fish so far i can't keep alive
1) prepare well planted aquarium.
2) keep it 1 week for cycle.
3) put some guppies anothor 1 week.
4) daily feed them to stabilize the nitrogen cycle.
5) buy CPD 10.
6) put into a quarantine tank for atleast 14 days.
7) then acclimatize the CPD to your pre preapared aquarium.
8) 1st daydont feed them.
9) from next day start to fees them live brine shrimps twice per day. Small amount. Food can change with dr basseleer food varities and decapsulated brine shrimps.
10 ) don't over feed them. One day per week use to not feed them.
11) don't increase the fish density in the tank.
12) use some neo caridina shrimps. Algae eaters.
13) use good sponge filter or canister filter. Water flow should be slow.
14) ph 6.5 - 7.5
T 18 to 27 celcius
Tds 100 to 150 is best
Good luck. Please put an update
