- Can you imagine breeding fish and having your own fry in your aquarium? Today we are going to make that happen. Breeding success in your aquarium depends on you. The fry can be raised in you community aquarium. This video address egg scatterers.
Fish egg scattering species include tetras, danios, and rasboras.
Certain breeder aquariums are specially made so that the fertilized egg falls under a mesh screen to protect them from being eaten by the parents.
Father Fish has developed a unique way of breeding fish by keeping the eggs and raising the fry in a fish tank using a food web with a resurrection jar. These babies have a greater chance of survival as they live in the leaves of the aquarium and have food readily available when they have matured enough to eat. Father Fish's way is healthier for both mother and fry. It is a wonder to behold!
FATHER FISH is an advocate for natural aquariums. His research over 25 years provides a wealth of information about the creation and maintenance of natural aquariums.

Who the heck is this guy!? I was taken a back for a minute there without the beard haha. Just started my first tank at 32 and did it the "way of the father." 1" mud from a creek and 2" sand, all from the farm; can't wait to see how it turns out. As an arborist and horticulturalist, I've always though the natural way was the way to go. So glad I found your channel. One day I'll fly my airplane down to father fish, shake your hand and be able to thank you in person.
You need to bow your head and worship him, not just shake his hand. He is the godfather of fish!
I love this man I stared of with one fish tank now I have 6 🤣
Lou I was up all night watching Craigs plecs hatch. I was up all night and only went to bed at 5am when they had all hatched. What a wonderous thing to see. Beautiful.
You are amazing. Seeing those babies hatch I didn't realise they still had the egg satchel. Now I do. My Bristlenose have bred but I never saw it. Just noticed the babies. I am always winging it but still love to learn. Some of them are alive at least.
Thank you Father Fish for all those teaching and sharing knowledge..
Thank you father fish for being the grandfather figure to all of us. Im going to the lake/ponds with my dog to search for drift wood and plants and sand for my tanks.
Have fun
Hello there Padre Pesce! Love the videos. Pulling up more of your food web videos tonight! Me and my 4 year old grandson watch you on the big screen. Raising him right so when he takes over the hobby, be will be all about natural diversity from food chain to substrate. Said it before, I wish they had RUclips in the 80s. You would have saved a lot of fish lives if I had your teachings when I first started. My 150 gallon tank will be in next week. We are drawing it up now. You can guess the name of ot.... Father Fish Oasis! Keep the videos coming. I go for my lake mud collection Tuesday. Keep the teachings rolling.
Heya father fish! Love the editing and quality of video!!! It's absolutely stunning work!!! My gambusia just had 30 babies!!! So I caught mama and the bigger fish out of the tank and moved them to my other tank while the babies grow up a bit!
Thank you. The effort is worth it.
the moustache n beard suits you FF sharp !
I made a food web for my endlers I feed my adults for weekly once ,my adults didn't touch the babies till now ,now I have 7 babies healthy growing 😍
Hello grandfather !
After doing 10% water changes in past 4 days and feeding heavily detritus and tubifex worms my angel fishes spawned 😍
Although it was there 1st time so male didn't know fertilize thing so male eaten eggs 🥲 around 70 to 80s was there !
Huge thanks to you for giving me right advice!
Huge respect and love from India Father ❤️
sometimes you can see natures will on what thrives and what dies is amazing the balance
Father fish, your the best teacher. I will remember this video, I will save it to my favorites. Love you too.
Hey Father fish!😁
I can't begin to tell you how strange it is that I ran across this video with this title at this particular moment in time. Not 30 mins ago I had just discovered that my two Hillstream loaches had babies and that they seem to be thieving. They are staying close to the leaf litter on the bottom and can easily hide from other fish. So far these are my first surviving babies in this hobby. Woo Hoo!!
very exciting. Add food web leaf material. You might consider removed some of the babies to insure you raise some.
Very helpful video thank you 👍👍
Keep teaching . Love it
father knows better, amazing video
Thank you for your advice father fish. Amazing my fry are thriving 🎉
Yes good advice
I feel dumb I was out of town and forgot to get you clips of my cardinals, white cloud minnows and embers! Egg scatterers are my favorite fish group. But I loved this! Going to try this for sure!
send them. We can always use good footage
Great knowledge love u 2...
MR. FATHER FISH , today i change all my about 45-55 fish i cant count them all , swordtails , platies , guppies , mollies , shrimps and snails they all are thriving in their new 42 gal 1 m long aquarium now , they all send you big thanks for teaching mw how to do it the right way , father fish you may pass away someday but you will live FOREVER in those who are willing to listen and apply your wisdom , my fish are having babies , the shrimp got eggs , water is stables and crystal clear , im about to put even MORE PLANTS . so it becomes like a flooded forest inside . the roots on my elephant ears was unreal , they were dyinhg in dirt but he they even got new set of leaves even fully sumerge . love the fact i got a natural system that is fun see and enjoy . also it helps me lots with my anxiety and depression. when i see my fish i dont think about nothing is just me and the fish seeing each other like idiots hahahahah
Humbertovargas1211, you need to be strong and don't let any evil thought enter your mind. always put your trust in God. Open your windows let the light in and put christian songs and pray, praise God to the fullest. Make promises to God and complete them and you will see your change but I tell you it will be possible if you have Faith. Faith like when God blocked Ramsey with fire and opened the sea for the Israelites. Look to the Adventist religion- we keep the Saturday or Methodist religion- Friday fast. God bless you!
Will do...trying to breed white cloud mountain mino's...love them..
Thanks a lot for sharing all this knowledge with such benevolance. Love you too !
You are so welcome!
Father yine mükemmel bilgilerini biz akvaryum severler il paylaştığın için çok teşekkür ederim.
Really would love a video on cultures ASAP Father Fish!
will do it
Happy to join the father fish channel!! Love the video and info delivered here!! SUBSCRIBED
Awesome! Thank you!
I am working on adding play sand and topsoil to my 75. I have a big filter bag that I fill up with topsoil. I squeeze it and a bunch of air bubbles come out (along with a bunch of dirt) until in about a month I can empty the bag into the tank without it floating all over. And the play sand is not supposed to be for the aquarium because it has a lot of clay in it but it’s cheap and available and it’s soft and may even be better than straight sand, I don’t know. I am doing some aquascaping to make levels of depth held up by rocks retaining the soil.
Would like to see how this is working for you. Join us on the Father Fish Shoal and share the joy. discord.gg/G4fkAE6qNw
6:21 Yay, I'm Famous!
Yes you are, and wonderful too.
Aww shucks 😅 you are, too! Thank you so much for all the great videos and the discord community!
@FatherFish I’ve had a lot of success with mollies and have had so many babies. I have a question about crowd control. At first I was just adding tanks but it just became too many tanks to manage. So how do I crowd control or keep my mollies from having more babies or even having the babies have babies with each other?
@drew2c659 introduce predators to eat the babies produced is my best guess
@@drew2c659 Ebay the little turds or use em as food lol.
Quality videos ❤
Thank you.
I raise mine a bit different it's been working with minimal effort and I can also get away feeding fry powder when the fry put pressure on the food web which happens pretty fast cos they grow really fast doing it this way. I might do a video. I basically train the parents to spawn over marbles in a container and every few days I empty it into a fully planted dirted tank and I do mean heavily planted and thick mats of floating plants and it has the rotted leaves etc and I have the tank aged enough it can cope if I feed too much the worse thats ever happen is a bit of algea that got going and I just pulled out. I just use a 10 gallon for babies doing this as they get bigger the bigger ones I move to another 10 or 20 gallon or a tub same set up and if I forget to feed there is live food breeding in the tank. That actually feeds off excess fry powder too. It won't work in a sterile bare bottom tank and you do not clean or water change these tanks it screws it all up. I breed hundreds of celestial pearl danio doing this. It's easy I havn't bothered with brine shrimp in almost a year now. I use a fry powder that is 50% protien its not a name brand it's made by private fish keepers but the tank has live food so they are getting both the tanks dont have filters I have never cleaned or water changed just a top off and remove excess plant matter as needed.
Really excellent husbandry./
I currently have kribs fry with parents in my 20g long. Plants, rocks and gravel. When I watch the fry, I just see them pecking away at everything. Looks like they don't really need any food from me. I still feed frozen baby brine because I have red chili endlers with them. I didn't feed them for 2 days due to going camping over the weekend and it didn't seem like it didn't really bother them to much.
My apistogramma cacatuoides pair spawned when i listened to your advices, thank you so much (I know apistogramma are egg depositors, not egg scatterers but thank you, I have learned a lot from your content anyway) and the fry are now 3 weeks old, thank you
congrats. You are on your way.

I just started colony breeding CPD's in June, or rather that's when I got my juveniles. Dirted tank (organic compost and soil because our local pond is too toxic from AG ferts) with sand cap and half covered in pea gravel and moss carpet. I just saw my first 2 fry two days ago!! I know I should prob have separated eggs but I wanted to try just colony breeding and see if I had success. The moss carpet and pea gravel were key I think. Parents couldn't eat the eggs that sift into moss and rocks.
perfect
I heard you mention dry leaves and twigs. I have been putting in wet leaves is that ok?
Its optimal
How do you set up a liner pond that has a one shelf? How do I keep the dirt and sand on the shelf without it falling to the bottom?
in boxes.
FF, I've have heard of nitrifying bacteria that breaks down fish waste (ammonia) to nitrite then nitrate (what plant needs to grow). Can I get it from dead leaves outside or I need to get it in lake, rivers, etc..?
It is literally in the air we breath and establishes itself automatically in any environment containing free amm

Green water
General question???
What do you think about a little carbon in the filter to help clean up cloudiness from tannins?
Thanks,
I like it

Happy Friday Father Fish! I won't do water changes, so this one's not an option for me...👍
watch it again. No water changes required.
@@FatherFish7:50??😢
How to deal with anchor worms or any other parasites naturally? I will really appreciate your advice thank you.
Most can be removed with tweezers. Join us on the Father Fish Shoal to get answers on all of the bad guys.

I was wondering if you could make a video about snails I have had a recent outbreak of pond snails and I can't find out if they are bad or good ???
I have covered this in countless videos. Get into the FF library.
Can water lillys obsorb nutrition from water colomn
no. They are a rooted plant
Hi Father Fish! I have a question, I'm setting up a new tank and finding it difficult in my area to source stuff from ponds, I can get the water from the pond but not any rocks/substrate etc. Will having just the water carry the bacteria etc that I need to set up my tank? Thank you, love the channel! :)
No. You need some mulch, leaf litter, etc.
@@FatherFish Ok, thank you :)
Father Fish, I have recently set up a 210 for my Discus. I noticed one of the smaller fish had a torn fin. I left him in there to heal naturally, and today I noticed the entire side of him was covered in white fuzz. I removed him and placed him in a hospital tank. The remaining Discus are healthy, no tears or injuries. I want to add some salt to the tank. How much can I safely put in a 210?
you do not need salt in the main tank. Salt in the hospital tank will help 1/2

Hey Father Fish…I have a question…
I have a pair of Orange Flash Apistogramma. They have been in a 10-gallon planted tank, substrate capped with sand and a sponge filter since October of last year. They have yet to spawn.
They get along. The female hangs out around the coconut hut. The male swims around the tank. They both come up front and center when it’s time to eat. I usually feed all my fish every other day. For the Apistos, I alternate live daphnia, live black worms, live grindal worms, frozen bloodworms, frozen Brine Shrimp and frozen Mysis Shrimp. I rarely do water changes now. Parameters are good.
What should I be doing differently?
Also…in the event I can get them to actually spawn…I am hearing from various sources that I would have to remove the male…is that true?
In a 10, yes. I would remove the male. Feed daphnia only and load the tank with culture so they can eat continuously. Work on a food web to provide nutrition for babies. Often fish will not spawn if there is no available food for fry.
@@FatherFish THANK YOU! I have a good daphnia culture, so I will load them up…👍🏽
If I move the pair to a 20-gallon long, would I still need to remove the male?
HI Father fish
Hi Tyler
Nice to see ya
How are we supposed to do this using your deep substrate method. You said to never change the water , but in this video you mentioned to do a 25% water change every few days, as well as to feed the fry often. Wouldn’t this prevent the aquarium from being balanced? And maintaining itself?
pay attention. That was discussing raising babies in an empty jar.
So is this for just non tropical fish ? Also can I get all my things I need down here on the Chippewa flowage ??
This system works effectively with all aquarium fish. Spec so. The Chippewa is native territory.
Do I have to worry about leaches ??
Hi father fish, i have a 20 gallon high with baby African Cichlid highbreds in there. I have about 1" of large gravel on the bottom with about 3" of Aragonite sand on top of the gravel. Is this ok to have for baby mbuna or did i create a problem in the future with bad bacteria forming under the sand? I cant find any information on this.
it will be OK Watch some FF vids. You just did not look in the right place for info
@@FatherFish Thank you
😎🙏
Hey Father's fish so I was raising black worms do you have any sdvise
the do very well on burlap with good water flow and tiny amount of yeast regularly
If you don't have a pond or stream then where to get the mud for a tank
watch a vid on setting up a deep substrate tank. I rarely use mud from a pond or stream.
Why don’t you have hard fish to keep? All the fish I see can handle bad water quality. Your method doesn’t work for cichlids over 3 inches in size. I noticed in my years that temperature is one of the most important thing in a established aquarium. Discus don’t do good in water under 78 degreees F. Just curious because I get tired of changing water in all my tanks when some can possibly be skipped.
Watch enough videos to understand what I am teaching.
Lol. Trying to stop the breeding...
you cannot stop a healthy paor from spawning
Fatherfish I have emailed you about one of your discord mods abusing their power and unfairly/unjustifiably kicking me from your server accusing me of "Low tier trolling" when I was simply giving my opinion on a subject, I am sorry that they are so close minded that they cannot see past their own ignorance but that shouldn't be made this communities problem, a moderator is supposed to be impartial and stick to the rules, not acting like vigilante banning whomever they please. I hope you take the time to resolve this issue as I really would like to be apart of this community
We were under attack at the time and banned several people. Sorry you got caught up in that mess. What is your discord name?
@FatherFish My name was Architects#9081 Not certain of the numbers, I have been trying to join ever since with a different account, and all the invite links are invalid...
Hi ! Big fan! When setting up an ecosystem style aquarium, is it safe to add bags of gravel as the bottom layer of the substrate to bank up the back of the tank or would this disturb the anaerobic properties of the substrate?
It adds no value
