@@KeepingFishSimple Maybe set a camera up at a good angle, back away and record the whole thing. Chop footage later. Also, tetras certainly see motion outside of the tank. Your results might even be better breeding-wise with less outside disturbance.
i wish they’d sell these full-size breeders boxes with the craft mesh floor. copyright that. get yo $$$. ☺️☺️☺️ great videos! fantastic that you caught the egg laying moment.
Mine laid and took all the fish out to do a heat treatment. Got it up to 88 and noticed little fish swimming. Day 17 now and I got around 60-75 having fun with it there getting big. Always wanted to breed I was like yes! I did it I did it lol.
nice video. I have a couple of suggestions that might be useful for you. You can cut the mesh a little bit bigger and place it higher in the container. Maybe a little over half of the high. You place two rocks on the bottom the sustain the mesh and the smaller rocks on top of it the hold it down, as the mesh will be a bit bigger and you have to push it down, the fishes can't go underneath. And being a little higher the eggs would be safe faster. The other suggestion is to feed the fry. You can get a high protein food and crush it to became a sort of flour texture. I use it to feed fry since day one and they nibble it. You should also put a lot of plants from a mature tank in the fry container, so you will have a lot of micro organisms for the fry to eat and feel safe. Sorry for my lousy English.
From other fish breeding youtubers I think that sometimes it takes two males to entice a female to spawn. Maybe you can tie down the moss a little closer to the mesh, in order to make the falling distance smaller for the eggs? I've also thought about designing a 3d-printed spawning grid that is rigid and has bigger gaps (still "parent safe" though).
Amazing! This method is pretty interesting too! I love how you take great care of these breeders! And congrats on fry! So exciting! Thanks so much for sharing this with us! So helpful and so much great info! Stay safe, and keep up the incredible work! Loving your vids!😉
Been a Sub for awhile now and I absolutely Love your content and how caring you are with what you do. Also love your hair getting longer. Can’t wait to see you hit 100k Subs. Keep up the Great Work!!!
Dean off aquarium co op used a mesh basket with foam fill in the lip of it to help it float. if you're using a tote tub per say you just put the adults in the basket and the eggs will go through the wholes in the mesh basket. Can be used for livebearers too.
I often see my rummynose breed in my aquarium exactly as you said. In the morning when the first light comes on! I could even able to see the the eggs getting dropped! Sad part I couldn't save those eggs due to aquarium size!
Just discovered your channel today. Great information on breeding neons. I always wanted to breed neons but never knew how. Thanks a lot. Also if you know, are rummy nose tetras breeding methods the same way?
so today i witnessed my neon tetras spawning today. it was pretty cool watching the lil female throw he eggs all over my java fern roots and watch about half of them drift away, and oh bou did the spawning cause a feeding frenzy to incur amongst my corydoras almost instantlg and my dwarf gourami went total hunter mode snooping for eggs
The grid works. But it has to fit well. I 3d print mine. Ratio I had best luck with is not 2 females to 1 male but just the opposite. 2 males, one fat female and it worked fine. Same ratio works for Cardinal tetras too. Edited to add: After the trio spawns, remove them as usual, then put another trio in the same setup. The grid prevents predation on the first batch of eggs and the second trio just adds more. Then do it once more for the third day (no more). That maximizes the number of fry to raise as one "batch".
You should put that peat in a mesh bag like the one you can use to wash baby brine shrimp. I mean even a burlap bag would do the trick. You can then have better access to the fish and eggs. Also you can move the bag to a new tank to condition it after this one is done. I think the commercial farms only put 1 single pair in each container to cut down on the egg eating bystanders.
There are certainly more profitable fish to breed out there... Nonetheless, it's a popular schooling fish so hopefully people buy them in schools. Dunno what route you're going through to sell them, but certainly suggestive-sell them that way. They're hardwired for it, lone tetras don't last long at all. But I hope to see the video after this, where you tell how many you get out of this method, vs the 15-20 from the last method. Interesting stuff.
Just an FYI.... If you are using the cubed frozen blood worms, take a razor blade and shave the cube while frozen. Make real thin slices and you end up with short pieces of blood worm and no choking hazard
You might as well get a plastic tub. Have the neons in a floating crate with holes on the bottom and have them breed in it. I think they’re plant crates. They eat their own eggs. No wonder they’re so hard to breed.
So a question about the peat moss. If I did that and the moss grew. Would I be able to put some of that in a regular tank? I like to look of it. Plus great for breeding.
Awesome video brother keep it up loving these tutorials :) thanks for sharing. Could you tell me the size tank measurements you're using to breed these neon Tetras thanks 😃
what if you replace the white mesh with green mesh and without the moss. would it trick the neons that the green coloured mesh is the *moss*? would it work? i saw some footage where zebra danios are bred in that similar manner. i would definitely reduce the distance for the eggs to travel to the bottom if spawning occurs on the mesh.
Could you please let the equipament / ingrients you used to ? (I am from Brazil, they are cheap here, but no one really breads them. I want to try that. Where do I get that Container with the black lead you have? Thank you.😁
you should have fed them as soon as you removed the blanket to prevent the females to eat the eggs as the spawning is pretty exhausting. and also keep some(a little bit) food in there while spawning.
Hay, love your videos ,really helpful to a newbie. I have lots of Bristlenose im trying to breed and just got a bunch of neons and a couple of Amber tetras for dither fish, and did a bit of a cold water change during a storm a couple of days ago and last night i noticed an Amber and a couple of neons looking chubby and tonight it looks like I have eggs scattered along the bottom of the tank on the glass. The water is fast moving for the plecos and no substrate or many plants yet. They seem kinda spread out and sort of on their own with just a couple of neons hanging out nearby but not really looking after them. Im not sure if I should remove them or leave them be. I wasnt expecting the tetras to breed so fast without anywhere appropriate to lay their eggs. Its a shame it wasnt the plecos like I'd planned and hopefully they wont eat the fry but so far the eggs havnt been eaten by anyone, Yet
So watching my male and female (I'm guessing as she's fatter with a blue curve), and the male is definitely trying to entice the female to come over the moss, but nothing for the last 2 hrs, in the breeding tank. Struggling here to get the pH lower than the main tank of 7.5. Got Coco peat in the breeding tank (Peat Moss not available here in the UK), Almond leaf in there and even tested the rainwater, but it will not drop from the 7.5. Any other suggestions on how to reduce this pH, without chemicals? Tried everything. Cheers
Hey bud, i have about a school of neon tetras that I’ve been currently conditioning. I just wanna ask u how u feel about using dried leaves like indian almond leaves to lower the ph in the water becus i have no access to peat moss.
Wow fantastic video 👍. Just a few questions as I’m hoping to do this myself ahahah! What temperature was the aquarium tank with the neons? Was it 21/22 degrees like the breeder box? Thanks so much!
Two things, one if your neons are as small as mine are how many eggs do they really hold? You have to go with 1out of 5 are infertile. Two, if they are laying in the java moss and you agitate the moss and remove it, doesn’t it figure you will be removing a good portion of egg in the moss?
Hey! I did the same thing with Zebra Danios a few years ago here: ruclips.net/video/-kdBdqL0g8Y/видео.html try lowering the water so that the eggs have less time in the upper chamber!
Has any one been able to name a group of 6 neon tetras and remember know which one is which? I just got neon tetras and only saw 2 that were different.
Hello, my name is Alex, I have loved your video, I am writing to you because soon I will talk about the reproduction of the neon on my Spanish-speaking RUclips channel, and I would love to use your images in the video, if you agree. Putting your name in the video and your youtube channel in the description, of course. If you do not agree I will not do it, thank you very much in advance for your contribution to the hobby, a great hello partner and I look forward to your confirmation.

Got very very lucky
@@KeepingFishSimple Maybe set a camera up at a good angle, back away and record the whole thing. Chop footage later.

yeah that was an amazing shot!

what is a heat treatment?
Can we get an update on how many fry you ended up getting?....

Basically is your favourite word it seems :D Greatly explained in detail everything.
Very informative and interesting. I really like the way you attack this problem 🎉👍
Wow great footage! Now I know what the eggs look like and I'm giving this a shot with my cardinal tetras!
What a great video, looking forward to seeing the outcome of the eggs.
Its Really Amazing Video, Thank You For Sharing Knowledge
omg!!so much of work to breed them.good video.
Great Information! I definitely learned a lot from this video. Thank you 😊
Oh my you got it on video.. 17:04 so beautiful.. i have see like that also with my own eyes on my galaxy rasbora's same behaviour.
i love quality of you videos! please do some methods of breeding cherry barb :)
cheers from Poland
What a great video!! Great detailed step by step!! Very interesting I'm learning a lot 👍😁❤️
Awesome advice bro👍
I like this method better as they can't eat eggs.
Might work well for you
@@KeepingFishSimple
I'll give it a try.
Just like you i can't easily tell males.
Can't wait to see your results from this method. Bestvof luck mate👍
What a great video! Thank you!!
We can try lipton tea bag to lower ph down.. use moss for breeding...
This is sooo wholesome
This videos inspires a lot .thanks man
This was so very helpful! Thank you!
how do u know which is male and which is female
Can't wait to try this

My neon tetras just like literally RANDOMLY had baby’s in my tank rn so I’m kinda freaking out tryna find what to do
Pls share your tank water parameters if you ever checked them, like ph, temp etc also whether it is planted or not and about the lighting

U got a New subscriber 👏
Do you do water changes on the breeding tank, if so, how do you avoid sucking up babies and eggs?
You might as well get a plastic tub. Have the neons in a floating crate with holes on the bottom and have them breed in it. I think they’re plant crates. They eat their own eggs. No wonder they’re so hard to breed.
How do you acclimate the fish to transfer to lower pH
Thanks buddy !! 😉
Can you grow some of the infusoria where the fry grow
Nice👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Thank you
So a question about the peat moss. If I did that and the moss grew. Would I be able to put some of that in a regular tank? I like to look of it. Plus great for breeding.
How many gallons is the container?
What is the TDS/EC and KH/GH in your setting?
Hi can you pls do a video on how to breed glow light tetras
Awesome video brother keep it up loving these tutorials :) thanks for sharing.
Could you tell me the size tank measurements you're using to breed these neon Tetras thanks 😃
Any update 😎?
I had to pause that to read that
what if you replace the white mesh with green mesh and without the moss. would it trick the neons that the green coloured mesh is the *moss*? would it work? i saw some footage where zebra danios are bred in that similar manner. i would definitely reduce the distance for the eggs to travel to the bottom if spawning occurs on the mesh.
I love you.
What was the volume of the breeding tank?
It looked like one a gallon to a gallon and a half.
"basically"
anyway nice video !! ;)
How about you put little java moss on the mess or no java moss at all
yo, do a chili rasbora breeding tutorial :0
Could you please let the equipament / ingrients you used to ? (I am from Brazil, they are cheap here, but no one really breads them. I want to try that. Where do I get that Container with the black lead you have? Thank you.😁
hi , what type of peat moss to you use ? plain or acidic one ?
thanks
The Peat moss adds acidity to the water
Are head and tail light tetras similar
So no filter or water changes?
you should have fed them as soon as you removed the blanket to prevent the females to eat the eggs as the spawning is pretty exhausting. and also keep some(a little bit) food in there while spawning.
can we use Coco Peat for lowering the ph in water??
Hay, love your videos ,really helpful to a newbie.

Does it have to be peat moss or any type of peat ?
I'd just use peat moss
KeepingFishSimple i have some other peat i used before but i dont know if it would work ?
Could you have food in there with them to stop them eating the eggs?
Hey bud, i have about a school of neon tetras that I’ve been currently conditioning. I just wanna ask u how u feel about using dried leaves like indian almond leaves to lower the ph in the water becus i have no access to peat moss.
What can I feed them instead of infusoria ?
What camera you use?
My water is around 6 ph out of the tap would I still need the soil
Wow fantastic video 👍. Just a few questions as I’m hoping to do this myself ahahah! What temperature was the aquarium tank with the neons? Was it 21/22 degrees like the breeder box? Thanks so much!
Did you find out what temperature to set the tank at
Two things, one if your neons are as small as mine are how many eggs do they really hold? You have to go with 1out of 5 are infertile. Two, if they are laying in the java moss and you agitate the moss and remove it, doesn’t it figure you will be removing a good portion of egg in the moss?

ruclips.net/video/-kdBdqL0g8Y/видео.html
try lowering the water so that the eggs have less time in the upper chamber!
So what happened... how many did you got out of this batch? Less than the other method? Or more? There is not a follow up video... :(
HELP! I think I’m a fish nerd
When’s the next live stream
Can you make one for Zebra danios please.
Dan Don up
Great video! What if you lowered the water level so the eggs fall quickly through the mesh?
That could work better
That's actually a great idea, great video mate 👍
Pretty good but after a year there are no more updates I watched all 4 videos but checked for more and haven’t seen any update

What about mosquito larvae?
What age do neon tetras breed?
i use marbles in the bottom
Early gang
Gang gang
You never did a follow up. How did it turn out?
IMO, seems a lot of trouble that sells for about $1 at lfs. Not sure they’re technically profitable unless you have a farm of them that spawns nonstop
Guess it depends on location. Around here neons sell for $4-$5 apiece at most lfs
First!
Won’t they need a filter without a box ?
