Should I get these or a pea puffer?
Are vinegar eels a good option for baby cpds?
@@reubendaly827 always! Pea puffers are amazing little guys. Make sure you have BBS to feed them though.
Mine go crazy for Fluval bug bites. The tiny, tiny pellets that sink slowly
Same
I tried these on your recommendation and they love it!
works well for chili raspbora 2 i crush em up a little
For those fish eat mid water, I’d recommend corydoras as their tank mates. As corydoras digging in gravel all day, they also send food and small particles to lower mid water where mid water swimmers can eat comfortably.
Is there any way to dual breed the two? I was looking online for something to maybe breed in the same tank as my CPDs, and I thought of corys, but I can’t find any instances of other people trying it.
The easiest way I have found to breed them is to just stick a male and female in a planted tank for about 10 days, then remove them and voila babies will start to appear. Don't have any other fish in the tank because they will be easily eaten even by other fry.
Smashed like for the new sick bass line at the end
I find having big leaf anubias plants in the aquarium helps settle the food at mid water so they can keep coming back for more as they need it
Oh that is a good idea.
I found this too, I’ve got some taller rocks, the food settles there and they hit the buffet at their leisure.
Shallow tanks help too - they scan the floor surface and pick off food without trouble
Def in my "got to keep" list at some point
I’ve found they don’t like much current. I switched them out for embers in a sort of high flow hillstream setup and they have been so much happier in the lower flow tank next door
One of my favourite fish but over in the UK they're called galaxy rasboras.
I looked into this recently as that name is still around stateside in places: turns out, that was one of their first names (this fish is relatively new to the hobby) once genetics were done they were found to be MORE closely related to danios- although they are (or at least were) the only described species within their genus. I have my suspicions about a different "rasbora" I recently saw at an lfs but haven't looked into yet.
Which is a misleading name since they’re more closely related to Danio
@@lem0nade_899 they didn’t know they were danios when they discovered them, and they were in an area that it was more likely to find Rasbora’s species. Hence why they named them the galaxy rasbora. It wasn’t until they did genetics later that they discovered they were closer to a danio then anything.
@@Mr.Plant1994 I’m aware of their origin but they’re no longer rasboras, hence why it’s now misleading
Thanks again for the video, got some white cloud mountain minnows and was thinking about getting these too, brilliant this video came up in time. Also, probably doesn't get mentioned enough, thank you for not ruining your videos with a million ads! Some of these 8 min videos from other creators have an ad nearly every minute! Awful.
I have a school of 30-40 in my planted 45 gallon tank. It's always increasing.
I keep 20-30 young guppies, 30-40 celestial pearl danios, 8 ottos and 1 female betta in my 45.
This is crazy I was literally researching these fish... coincidence maybe? Guess it’s a sign I should buy them haha
I'm in the UK and have just this minute woke up, looked at my freshly cycled aquairum and thought to myself "I think I'll get some CPD's in here, that'll look good" hop onto my computer and see this?????????????????
I've had mine for about three weeks. 8.2ph, very hard water, 78 degrees. They have been doing great so far.
@@timivey5790 dope
@@timivey5790 How have they done up to this point? my tank is usually around this level as well
@@jacqulynnchilds8382 I have 4 left out of seven. They had a move of about 450 miles a few months ago and I lost one then. Water parameters are about the same though. The other two I have no clue about. I still say they are very worth it and pretty tough. 👍
I have, well I’m not sure, but a lot, in a 70 gallon. Tank mates are chili rasbora and hill stream loaches and obviously snails. I have never seen a fry successfully develop, despite a HEAVILY planted tank. Did you make this video for me? 🤣
Seriously, thank you. I am amazed at their personality in this type of setting.
I cannot recommend this fish enough and I bet these beautiful peaceful fish are awesome in a 10 or 20 gallon planted aquarium.
Found these real cheap at a pet store where they didn't even label them properly haha
Theyre also called galaxy rasboras so maybe that's why
My original #8 are happily living and spawning in a fairly heavily planted 20 H with a sunburst platy trio. I was planning on it being a species only tank, but the platys helped so much with the cpds shyness that I'm very glad I added them.
I'm using guppy grass for spawning material which I'm moving between the parent's tank and a planted, established grow out ten gallon.
Parent's tank 74 degrees. Grow out tank a little warmer- 76.
Thank you for adding the temp in Metric / Celsius
Great video, Cory! I inadvertently helped my CPDs to breed earlier this year when doing a rescape; moved the adults into holding tank for two days, then moved them out again. Two weeks later, noticed teeny tiny fry. Six months later, those fry are still alive and doing well in their own tank with Chili and Pheonix Rasboras. And yes, CPD's can be very shy unless there are other fish present to convince them it's safe to come out.
I found the more active i was in front of my CPD as fry the more extraverted they were when they got to adult size. Now they'll eat out of my hand
I finally saw these in person at a fish store display tank and they were stunning! I can't wait to get some for my next tank
Perfect timing with this video. I just picked up four because that’s all they had. They love hanging out in my java moss in my driftwood. Very cool fish.
I have them with some Cardinal Tetras and once I added to the school to get to 12, they are always some out and about. Fun beautiful fish. Thanks for the feeding tip!!
Nice video, mate! You are my dream youtuber and you should be super proud as to how well and precise you care for your fish! Have a great day, and regards from Australia! 👏
I just randomly spotted these guys a couple months ago at the pet store and bought 6. Nice little guys!
These were the first fish I special-ordered online, got 8 of them a few months ago. They were so tiny I decided NOT to put them in with my betta like I had planned, but instead put them in the 29 gallon I had just cycled. They've thrived in there. I hear some say they're very shy but mine aren't especially so- they will dart away and into cover when I approach but within a minute they're all out and swimming around again. I have a planted tank with driftwood, cabomba, swords, and moss, and they love hovering at that mid-level point he mentioned above the moss and wood. I've added dwarf neo shrimp and gold laser cories into the tank- they were scared of the cories for less than a day before they figured out there was no threat and they're all getting along great now. I've got a bunch of baby shrimp in there now and TWO BABY DANIOS! They're so tiny it's hard to find them, lol. They stay up near a plant near the surface, away from the larger adults. I'm hoping they'll make it (had them a few weeks now and so far so good). I love watching these fish- they're interesting and constantly moving about, exhibiting behaviors, and exploring their tank.
Love the species profile videos and all the comments really help when choosing new fish.
Perfect timing for the video! I just moved my CPD's to my big tank. The come all the time but I have other small community fish. I find frozen Daphnia work well for feeding too.
Such a good timing! I bought my first ones two days ago!
My local fish store finally got these in! I grabbed 6 of them last night and already loving these guys.
love the care guide vids keep em comin
one of my absolute favorite nano fish. i love mine.
Cory, you are a national treasure!
I was just looking for a video about these little fellas and I saw my favourite fishtuber posted a vid
Cool little fish. Good to see Jimmy's old tanks again in the broll.
So glad you did this video have been wanting to do a 29 gallon community tank with these!
Thanks for this video! I've had a slight interest in these guys so love the info!
Great fish! Breeding them is a great project, and fun to watch the mating process!
Thank you for sharing.
Excellent advice. Can't wait to try keeping & breeding them.
👍👍👍👍👍
Great job Cory. Very educational. We've got 8 on the way.
Been thinking of getting these, lovely fish
Loving these species videos
Most def on my bucket list for 2021.
👍💓👍
I setup a 20 gallon long tank for someone that I take care of, and I put 12 of these guys in it. They love the CPD’s they are gorgeous fish.
That tank in the video is really inspirational!
omg as i plan my new tank this is what i wanted to stock!!! thanks for all the info
I've been breeding CPDs for the last year and Cory's pretty much spot on with everything. I will add that I've had no problem raising fry on Hikari Firstbites and powdered TetraColor granules as long as I raise them in established water/media.
Also, I don't use the mop/moss method, I use the smooth flattish/rounded pebbles found at the chain stores and move the breeders instead of the media.
I've also had success with hikari first bites & some powdered regular food with baby CPD.
My absolute favorite nano fish!
I've got my CPD's (6) in a tank with ember tetras (5), chili rasboras (10) and two female bettas. They are NOT shy at all. What I like to do for my fish is I crush their pellet food into mostly a powder and leave bigger chunks for the bettas. I swirl it around until it floats midway, cause the tetras like to catch on the way down too, and my chili rasboras like to eat closer to the bottom. For the danios today this worked out really well.
The CPD's only entered the tank yesterday evening, and likely due to the number of fish, they are not reclusive at all. Could be the number of fish, could be that they are very small (Just over 1/2 inch), could be that there's enough hiding places and plants. Whatever it may be, they aren't shy in the slightest.
I've already seen some breeding behavior which is incredible. I didn't think they'd start up right after entering the tank, and figured they'd need more time to adjust to a new environment. The danios don't have an established territory yet, but they seem to like the front right corner that nobody else has ever wanted, so that will probably become their spot.
Thank you so much for sharing this information!
Hikari brine shrimp cubes that you crush up suspend in the water for a long time and the danios love it.
I love these guys. I moved a bunch of plants to my shrimp tank and didnt realise it was full of babies and eggs till i saw these funny little things that did not look like baby shrimp. Lol 😆. I now just put a shallow dish with a lime mesh bag stuffed full of java moss. I move it to another tank every few weeks to grow them out. The mesh helps keep the adults away from the eggs and fry so they have a chance in the display tank. I also fed the shell less artemia eggs before i made a hatchery.
"They're these little trouts!" Lol, I thought I was the only one....
yes, another video from my favourite youtuber
Thanks, great info to help me pick what fish are best in my tank.
LOVE IT! Im just about to set up a CPD tank
I wanted these for the longest!!
I really love these little guys. They're very attractive in my 37 column heavy planted tank. And they are great companions with my green neon tetras.
Just came home from LFS with some,go to your channel for the facts!
I have my CPDs with Corydoras hasbrosus, and a variety of cherry shrimps. The best food I find for them that stay in midwater or sink slow is frozen baby brine, hikari micro pellets, and new life spectrum probiotix spectrum (small pellets). Tips, keep the tank super planted with lots of hiding spaces. I am planning to get some dithers eventually but we are in lockdown still and can't get to my local fish store and it's too cold to ship. I find the higher the number of CPD the more they are comfortable coming out to feed.
Beautiful fish. Thanks for the information
You guys should also check out Emerald Dwarf Rasbora’s they’re cousins of the CPD
definitely love this fish they look like little trouts.
Thanks a lot, informative material. Again, thanks.
Love the video, do you have any videos on how to dip/clean plants before you put in your tanks?
Got 6 last night! Super psyched and hoping they breed, and planning on doing baby brine now to help them out
I just saw last years vid of best nano fish and you talked me out of wanting them since they are fussy feeders you said. Also the price really ends the hope of a dozen or two. Gorgeous fish and salute to those who can keep them,breed them.
One of my favorite fish!
Good information on this fish!
I only have an 8 gallon to start, but once i get a second larger tank these are my absolute dream fish, nothing beats a nano trout IMO haha
Very informative, thank you
Love these fish! Also love the similar Danio Erythromicron!
I really want to get a small school of these in combo with my CPDs
Gorgeous fish!
Beautiful little fish
this video came just in time. Finally today is the day my LFS is selling me some danios as they are now big enough to be sold and I heading out in 20 minutes and buy as many as my money can get and put them in a new 50 gallon aquarium just for their enjoyment!
one of my all time favorite fish.
I love any type of Rasbora!
Thanks for doing this species spotlight. After the new year I am planning to do this very thing. Your video is perfectly timed for me. Will they eat vinegar eels & cyclops too?
I would like to say thank you for including the metric system temp. It's really annoying I am watching and then I have do maths first to see wat you are talking. So thank you very much
Ohh very nice content!!!
I love these fish bought my first group from Justin at ocean aquarium in SF and took a trio out for the summer now I have at least 60 and they do so much better in the large groups
Justin and his wife are great folks! I remember he wouldn't let this couple buy guppies because they were beginners and demanded they bring him a sample of their water to test. Really sold me on how much he cares for the fish.
Thanks Cory... It's awesome...
Awesome music at the end!📻
TIP: Breed the fish in your hospital tank, for a week then move the parents back to your main tank. I have a 60 gallon display tank and a 20 gallon hospital tank. I use the hospital tank for starting new plants, fish quarantine, and breeding / grow out. Best investment ever and I always have a safe and cycled place for a sick or injured friends.
Do you use flour or cornmeal? lol
@@jeffmosier6014 Great joke dad. Siri is impressed you caught her typo.
My fish shop only had 6 left when I bought them, they seem to be happy but I'm definitely getting a few more when they have them again
Gotta love these
Love all these profile/care videos guys!!
BUT.. it’s making it really difficult to choose how to sto k my next tank!! Sooo many cool fish!
Excellent information
I wish I could find some of these in the STL area! I love the way they look.
Awesome I requested this one.. they're the first fish I've ever bread, super cool little guys. Any chance you could do emerald dwarf rasboras next?
Jamie Wipp they are lovely little fish, also known as Danios. Have to be careful not to keep with CPD's because they will interbreed
Beautiful small fish.
Got 5 of them since the rest was already sold out when my store had some. They are in a 60 gallon together with guppies, kardinal tetra's and some other small fished and only on day 1 they were a bit shy! Now when its feeding time they go crazy together with the much bigger guppies
Sound like cool little fish!
Love these fish
What a beautiful fish
My favorite nano fish!
I heard they need lower flow. Is this true?
They LOVE Hikari Fancy Guppy food even more then Fluval Bug Bites... whole or crushed a bit... they also love to play soccer games with sunken Vitalis Catfish or Shrimp pellets, also crushed or whole... just need some bottom cleanup critters of choice... if they are shy feeding in the daytime, then early morning, or later evening when light is much lower... a few platies have been more helpful with shyness then any other fish but now probably there will be no cpd babies surviving.
Great info Thanks
Awesome vid
All about more videos to watch.
I saw them in my LFS and thought they were so awfully cute, but my thermometer is preset to 78 so I went with ember tetras instead. I love their orange colors as well!
This is one fish I have always wanted these fish. they remind me of mini trout swimming around. I just wish they were bigger to really show their color. Like the info I may have to reconsider set up a tank for nano fish.
Great job
