My CPD tank has a pretty full carpet of dwarf sag. I've always found my CPDs spawning in the "grass". I wait several days until I think there are fry then use a siphon tube and gently press it down on the sag... Into a 2 gallon bucket... wait a bit and check with a flashlight. There's usually a few each time up to about 5. They then spend time in a Marina breeding box (hang on) until they can join the tank again. Last noticed spawn I raised about 27. There is healthy shrimp population in the tank now (culls) but recently I saw two young ones join the group. It's fun to have tanks of fish that repopulate themselves! Most of the fish I have were born in house.
I have had my tanks about 6 months and I've successfully been able to breed my Corydoras and now I have 7 baby corys, and I also incubated my mystery snail clutch!!! Thank you so much for your inspiration!!!
You always have tons of shrimp and fish breeding all over your fish room. It's always intersting to know what you do to have success. Always appreciate the information you have and how freely you share and show what you do. 👍💕👍
Ha ha ha! I agree wholeheartedly :D I came for the species spotlights and stayed for Rachel and her family! Really the only RUclipsr I consistently watch and admire. None of the content is stale and I'm always learning new things from our Fishpimp! Plus her tanks are just stunning. She's the best aquarist on the internet, bar none.
I love my CPDs. They are quite beautiful, and while they don't school, they are always chasing each other around and showing off to each other. The males are total nutcases, they make my tank really active.
These guys are on my list to breed for years. We got the Ember tetra breeding down pat now. Mum bought her special guppy varieties. Now I am on the lookout for the next breeding project for the greenhouse. SLOWLY building a business. So hard to do without getting into debt, LOL.
I absolutely love your videos. Your fish foom is a huge inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing! I'm also very jealous of your rice fish, I've been looking for some for a long time.
When I was breeding these guys I had them in a 10 gallon with a dwarf hairgrass carpet. Every day there would be new fry on the top of the tank, I'd just scoop them and put em in their own 5 gallon. Super easy!
I ordered Chili Rasboras for a planted 20 long 9 months ago. They were SUPER tiny and all looked the same until they started to mature and color up. Out of the 7 Chili's, one ended up being a Phoenix rasbora. I am pleased to report I have had 4 babies...but...they are ALL Phoenix rasboras...look just like Mom! So now out of 11 fish, I have 6 Chili's and 5 Phoenix. Not exactly the original plan but I'll take it!
Thank you so much for this. I have a little patio pond with some danios, and so far, only 2 fry have survived this year. Happy to see what works for you, and try it out myself! Please /do/ show anything you think is educational or beneficial! \m/
Right on! Thanks again for your take on this! (Have you noticed that there is a strain or location that has orange and yellow fins? I was wondering if it was a human selected traight, or some natural variant.) I Also LOVE breeding CPD and Erythromicrons. I have a couple videos on the colony breeding and also breeding over marbles or screens. However, it's my favorite, to colony breed in a 10 or 20L and plant it well on the bottom with moss and dense plants. I know some people get upset- but i also think hybrids of the two look really neat also.
Yes, would be interested re the D. Cichlids, I've never had Cichlids. And I am sooo jealous of the fact that you caught that fish so easily. Ha! The very idea of catching my fish to move them and then catching them again to move them back...hysterical!! The guppy grass did not work for the rosies btw, but interestingly (can't remember if I already told you this), my Chili Rasboras, clearly took advantage as I had 10 brigittae in the Boraras school and now there are 12. I would reallllly like more Rosies however...and you have none on your list boo hoo. I guess I'll have to dump in some more plants and try yet again :) Yes to more videos like this one.
Oh no, you mean I have to spend even more time watching my fish lol :) What a great excuse for me to spend more time doing that...I could claim I'm doing research for a thesis Love it. For you, yes True True.
Oh i would love to learn more about apistogrammas i love them and they will breed no problem but they keep eating their own fry, i have got an extra aquarium now but haven't got the apistogrammas anymore. I hope te get the cacatoides tripple red and also the blue rams. Love your video's, have learnt so much, thx!!
Thanks to your wonderful videos, I have had shrimp reproduce like crazy, and I successfully raised a huge clutch of Mystery Snails, but fish intimidate me. After watching this video... I'm ready to give it a try! Thank you!
Wish, I had a Rachel at home to catch my CPDs within seconds, like she does at 2:20. I just love CPDs. Once, they have settled in, they are actually quite active, wiggling around with their fins all the time. They always seem to be dancing. I made some underwater footage of them, where they are just beautiful...
Love seeing any of your tanks. Species spotlights are always great. I never get tired of nano fish. Whatever you throw out there will be watched with relish. Love hearing the parameters of the fish you present as well as the history of the breed, where you got them, their lifespan, what you feed them, etc. Thank you.
All of your tanks are awesome! Looking forward to the Cory videos. I have a male and female Panda Cory that I have seen the eggs on the glass and plants, not sure what to do. Andie and Dandy are 3.5 yrs since I've had them, they were pretty small when I got them. Great videos and lots of great advice!! THANKS
The only way to make a few into many. I was king of Tiger barb and Arulius barb breeding back in the late 80's. I used to have a 50 gallon..no filter,just light and White Clouds bred and a few would survive to the point it was like a neon tank. As long as the Java moss grew thick.
Hi Rachel, Your videos are very educational and exciting to watch. Can’t wait to see what you do next. Speaking of breeding CPD. I have two pairs in my 10g tank. Recent I have been getting 30 or so eggs weekly. All of them turned white. How come these eggs are not fertilized? Could it be the temperature is not warm enough? The tank has no heater, the night temperature is around 68F. Thank you!
Nowadays the good nano fish are going for $12-15 each..even common Neons are $4 each. I used to buy very small ones like 10 for a dollar on into the 90's.
Would love to see more Apisto keepers! I keep/breed Apistogramma Bitaeniata & Hongsloi! They're just great fish. :) Personable, albeit I find them to be sensitive as heck (much to my chagrin. they're similar to GRBs in that regard, imo!) I'm actually getting a breeding group of L450s that apparently was sourced from you arriving tomorrow, super excited for the Hypancistrus adventures! Would love any advice/tips you have about these guys, I've been researching tons, and I'm still reading only very vague articles. Would love to hear your personal experiences!
Dang, those Filament Tetras are looking mad sexy. I love breeding the non-annual West African killifish. Spawn like crazy and most of them don't bother the fry. Feeding fry can be tricky, but if you have live moss there is usually sufficient infusoria to get them going post hatch until they can take larger food. Vinegar Eels, microworms and baby brine will grow them faster but, not necessary if you're just doing it for the fun of breeding.
Tk you for your videos. Like I need more animals...... But now you have got me interested starting a fish tank.... Can't help but like how beautiful a properly maintained fish tank is... Tk u again for all the information.. much respect!!!
Love your breeding vid. So awesome to share your success tips just because you want to be helpful. Love that there's a strong woman in the game . In my community and circle of friends. I often feel like I am the only one. I'm going to be checking some more of your stuff out. Greetings from Wilmington Delaware!
Wow Rachel , sorry your fish jumped, 684, here, ever considered raising Archer fish? I Once had a Placo that was so big I made the pet shop buy it back. I'm also fond of Farowallas...
I have my corydora sterbai for about a year and last month the female laid eggs, like 10 times. unfortunatly other fish ate their egss before i could remove them proberly. but last week i found to my suprise a baby sterbai in my java ferns. Was so exiting to see. btw would love to see you work/ breed ramirezi. beautifull little fish
Oh yes the breeding of a cichlid especially the little ones are those dwarfs that is so cool I'd love to see that how to do that I know how to do with the big one so I've never tried the little ones like Rams and what's in that never tried those but yeah that be great to see I love watching your channel you always have such interesting thing I love all your fish. Just gorgeous even though the tiny I'm used to having big fish but wow they're gorgeous alright well please please take care of you and your family please take care of yourself and may God bless you can't wait to see what's next
I got home on Friday to see my GBR pair spawning. They took turns to guard & fan the eggs. Ate the unfertilised. Very cool. Then, Sunday morning, one of my Nerites rolled over them 🙃 Oh well, it was a good first try. I think the wigglers/fry would end up as a snack for my greedy Lemon Tetras 🤷🏻♂️
Also, those wild guppies at the end are my favorite fish! They're easy, hardy, social, funny to wacht and breed without lots of care! Unfortunately because of the heat waves this year I lost all males and my colony is starting to die off. Maybe I'll find them again one time!
Hey Pimpy,.. what type barbs were those in the tank nxt to the white clouds???Odessa Barbs correct?? I purchased 7@ lfs few days ago, lady said they were Blue bar barbs, then went on to say they were checker board barbs? i was like umm,.. noo i don't believe those are the correct name but she sold them to me for $1.99 the Blu barb price. happy about that but wasn't 100% on the species type.Also curious how to sex them, are females a plain drab color or are they same as males? The content is very educational. I always luv to watch new vids.!! Although i will say that i never have much luck with CPD's. They always die within a week whenever i've bought locally, i may have to reach out further in the breeding community for a start of a good stock. Do u sell any? I'd be interested if so,.. Again thx for the upload!! Keep doing what u do best;)
I recently got a Bolivian Ram, my first ever cichlid. I'm also curious about Apistogramma borelli, since they come from the same river as my Black Skirt and Black Neon Tetras.
Really? You caught that fish with ease. I'd have to chase that thing around the tank a few times and half tear it down to get that little bugger, lol! Yeah, my lfs guy wants me to raise some more Super Red Bristelnose again. Just waiting for the magic to happen now, lol
About breeding apistos... I just set up 2 pairs of Apistogramma baenschi, one pair is still young so it might not happen for a while, and with the other pair the male has gotten hyper aggressive towards the female. I’ve spoken to other apisto keepers and they said it is not out of the ordinary and that I just need to give them some time. I hate seeing the female being all skittish and dull though :(
Check out the various Lake Tanganyika shell dwellers. They all need hard water. Rachel has a bunch of videos on multies - Neolamprologus multifasciatus...
I've only managed to successfully breed two species and both were by accident lol The first ones were blue Mickey mouse platies. I bought 4 females and one male. In a week I had double in 3 months I had over 100! The other species were albino peppered corydoras. Only got one baby to survive because they always eat the eggs but then again I wasn't really trying to breed in the first place. Also I think I might've bred my otocinclus? I started with 6 and now I always count 8 so unless they're cloning themselves I might have actually bred them accedently? Lol I have no idea!
Love your vids ,i have 2 blood parrots who recently released eggs but none developed ,i see now their ready to breed again but picking another area in the tank can you make a vid about Blood parrot breeding ?
so funny, just started breeding mine a week ago the first time and had success. the only thing is, that i wasnt prepared with the right food. i am waiting for my brine shrimp to hatch and hope they stay alive until than.
You can order micro/walter worms online to feed them in the mean time and have those as back up food in the future. Just keep the colony alive. Or you can make an infusoria culture as well. Check out Mark's Aquatics on YT for breeding those and Aquarium Co-Op for breeding vinegar eels/worms also for feeding baby and adult fish.
I want to see you do EVERYTHING ok. No need to ask if we want to see you try something. Yes... Yes we do!
Lisa S ditto that!
Double ditto.
I just want to be in her and her fish room’s presence. Just to admire all the work that goes in to it, and take notes on everything I could learn. 😂
My CPD tank has a pretty full carpet of dwarf sag. I've always found my CPDs spawning in the "grass".

The colours of all your fish are amazing all so healthy love cpd's
I have had my tanks about 6 months and I've successfully been able to breed my Corydoras and now I have 7 baby corys, and I also incubated my mystery snail clutch!!! Thank you so much for your inspiration!!!

Your fish room looks fantastic! Well done 👍🏻
I agree with Lisa S! I love watching your videos and learning from them. I love apistos and would love to see more about them.
Laetacara curviceps would be a fabulous breeding tank - and more people need to see this beautiful gentle cichlid.
When I was breeding these guys I had them in a 10 gallon with a dwarf hairgrass carpet. Every day there would be new fry on the top of the tank, I'd just scoop them and put em in their own 5 gallon. Super easy!
This eye shadow 💕💕💕💕💕 you should also do makeup tutorials 🤣🤣
I ordered Chili Rasboras for a planted 20 long 9 months ago. They were SUPER tiny and all looked the same until they started to mature and color up.

Yes please do an episode on dwarf ram cichlids. Always enjoy your videos.
WOW your apisto pair is absolutely stunning!! more of them!
I love Apistogrammas!!!!! Would love to see more! 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
That tiger lotus is looking great that you planted in pot. Beautiful, I going to have to use that idea in my 75g,again thank you for videos
Thank you so much for this. I have a little patio pond with some danios, and so far, only 2 fry have survived this year. Happy to see what works for you, and try it out myself! Please /do/ show anything you think is educational or beneficial! \m/
Yes please do get more. I love your videos.
Right on! Thanks again for your take on this! (Have you noticed that there is a strain or location that has orange and yellow fins? I was wondering if it was a human selected traight, or some natural variant.)

Definitely keen for more Apistogramma / Dwarf Cichlid vids - Got a lovely pair of Macmasteri in my community but they still haven't bred! :(
Love those wild guppies to pieces! 💕 I think my cories spawned - - I didn't know and thought it was snails eggs! Doh!
YES PLEASE MORE DWARF CICHLIDS! I found out my building's super breeds apistos and I'm just waiting for a good time to make a setup and get a pair!
Yes, would be interested re the D. Cichlids, I've never had Cichlids. And I am sooo jealous of the fact that you caught that fish so easily. Ha!

catching fish is very much understanding how they behave. i watch fish all day long, so find it pretty easy to predict how to catch them
Oh no, you mean I have to spend even more time watching my fish lol :) What a great excuse for me to spend more time doing that...I could claim I'm doing research for a thesis Love it. For you, yes True True.
Oh i would love to learn more about apistogrammas i love them and they will breed no problem but they keep eating their own fry, i have got an extra aquarium now but haven't got the apistogrammas anymore.

I’ll never get over how bad ass your fish room is🖤🖤🖤🖤♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks to your wonderful videos, I have had shrimp reproduce like crazy, and I successfully raised a huge clutch of Mystery Snails, but fish intimidate me. After watching this video... I'm ready to give it a try! Thank you!
that is awesome! Congrats Carole!
Thank you for an educational and informative video! Hoping for more tips about breeding setups in the future!
Wish, I had a Rachel at home to catch my CPDs within seconds, like she does at 2:20.

I'm looking forward to watching the breeding process as it's something I'd like to try one day. 😊
All of your tanks are awesome especially the pleco tank and we'll all of them.
All of your tanks are awesome! Looking forward to the Cory videos. I have a male and female Panda Cory that I have seen the eggs on the glass and plants, not sure what to do.

CPDs always remind me of miniature trout.
Yeah Brook trout to be exact
Yes show us more of the amazing dwarf cichlids.
Would love to see more Apisto keepers! I keep/breed Apistogramma Bitaeniata & Hongsloi! They're just great fish. :) Personable, albeit I find them to be sensitive as heck (much to my chagrin. they're similar to GRBs in that regard, imo!)

Would love any advice/tips you have about these guys, I've been researching tons, and I'm still reading only very vague articles. Would love to hear your personal experiences!
might i suggest a list of fish names discussed in the video? that would aide in looking the specific video up....

I agree. Ty 😊

btw would love to see you work/ breed ramirezi. beautifull little fish
Celestials are one of the fish I want to get once I set up my larger tank. Now, I know where I can get them ;).
What a fantastic vid. I'm temoted to try breeding my Threadfin Rainbows and Emperor Tetras. Thanks for sharing
Oh yes the breeding of a cichlid especially the little ones are those dwarfs that is so cool I'd love to see that how to do that I know how to do with the big one so I've never tried the little ones like Rams and what's in that never tried those but yeah that be great to see I love watching your channel you always have such interesting thing I love all your fish.

Rach...what are the feeding discs that you are using in this video?...Thanks, Bob
Love your videos!!
I would love to see more dwarf chiclids! I think that would be awesome!
Can I ask what the fish are called behind you, when you sit in the beginning? The large one? They look so cool! 🤩
Yes! Dwarf cichlids. try Apist. Macmasteri! I wish I can get my hands on them but I know I never will because of how tight my budget is.
Hi Rachel
I wondering if you can tell me what plants you have had absolutely thrive with adult bristlenose?
I got home on Friday to see my GBR pair spawning. They took turns to guard & fan the eggs. Ate the unfertilised. Very cool.
Then, Sunday morning, one of my Nerites rolled over them 🙃
Oh well, it was a good first try. I think the wigglers/fry would end up as a snack for my greedy Lemon Tetras 🤷🏻♂️
Thankyou....❤ your awesome videos. fr. Ontario Canada. Cheers☕
Thank you for Sharing.
Awesome setup 👍👍👍👍👍
Could you explain how to breed neon and glotetra widows?
The kribensis could be the start of your West African tank! 😁
Also, those wild guppies at the end are my favorite fish! They're easy, hardy, social, funny to wacht and breed without lots of care! Unfortunately because of the heat waves this year I lost all males and my colony is starting to die off. Maybe I'll find them again one time!
My grandpa's always trying to push his cpd projects onto me haha. Unfortunatly for him im way too busy trying to keep my trili cory fry alive U_U
Hey Pimpy,.. what type barbs were those in the tank nxt to the white clouds???Odessa Barbs correct?? I purchased 7@ lfs few days ago, lady said they were Blue bar barbs, then went on to say they were checker board barbs? i was like umm,.. noo i don't believe those are the correct name but she sold them to me for $1.99 the Blu barb price. happy about that but wasn't 100% on the species type.Also curious how to sex them, are females a plain drab color or are they same as males?
The content is very educational. I always luv to watch new vids.!!
Although i will say that i never have much luck with CPD's. They always die within a week whenever i've bought locally, i may have to reach out further in the breeding community for a start of a good stock. Do u sell any? I'd be interested if so,.. Again thx for the upload!! Keep doing what u do best;)
Looking good...
Rachel I have 2 baby CPD and Dwarf emerald Rasbora hybrids have they been discovered before and if so could you link something please
Love, love, love the video.
I recently got a Bolivian Ram, my first ever cichlid. I'm also curious about Apistogramma borelli, since they come from the same river as my Black Skirt and Black Neon Tetras.
Really? You caught that fish with ease. I'd have to chase that thing around the tank a few times and half tear it down to get that little bugger, lol! Yeah, my lfs guy wants me to raise some more Super Red Bristelnose again. Just waiting for the magic to happen now, lol
Love the South American Dwarf cichlids and breeding them.
I'm new here and I love animals.
Have you ever worked with Brilliant Rasbora?
Love your video,,,I think breeding neon tetra would be good
Anything Apistos, yes please!! I love my Cacs. So much personality.
do the long fin green bristlenose need a special cave I am growing out a few and wanted to know if they need different cave from my other plecos.
How often do danios spawn? How often do tetras spawn? How often do rasboras spawn? (Time period wise) I’m having trouble finding that information!
Hi i watch every video. Love them. What ever happened to your surprise Goldfish?
They are in their bin on my basement floor
I am in love with pygmy corydora
What temperature do you breed your bristlenose Plecos at?
I would love to try these little guys..
What fish do you recommend in a community tank with these fish? I’d like to add shrimp as well.
Dwarf Cichlids, yes please. (*note* I am probably biased as these are fish I would like to work with)
I’m curious about the corrydoras breading. Last week we had our first eggs, unfortunately the eggs have been eaten.
About breeding apistos... I just set up 2 pairs of Apistogramma baenschi, one pair is still young so it might not happen for a while, and with the other pair the male has gotten hyper aggressive towards the female. I’ve spoken to other apisto keepers and they said it is not out of the ordinary and that I just need to give them some time. I hate seeing the female being all skittish and dull though :(
I spy with my little eye something new and exciting coming under the 150 :-)
Apistos, yes of course!
Id love to learn about dwarf cichlids that do well In hard water. So many dwarves I see prefer softer water.
Check out the various Lake Tanganyika shell dwellers. They all need hard water. Rachel has a bunch of videos on multies - Neolamprologus multifasciatus...
I've only managed to successfully breed two species and both were by accident lol The first ones were blue Mickey mouse platies. I bought 4 females and one male. In a week I had double in 3 months I had over 100! The other species were albino peppered corydoras. Only got one baby to survive because they always eat the eggs but then again I wasn't really trying to breed in the first place. Also I think I might've bred my otocinclus? I started with 6 and now I always count 8 so unless they're cloning themselves I might have actually bred them accedently? Lol I have no idea!
Love your vids ,i have 2 blood parrots who recently released eggs but none developed ,i see now their ready to breed again but picking another area in the tank can you make a vid about Blood parrot breeding ?
I am down grading my fish tanks, i have broken down 2 more tsnks leaving me with only 3.
I love your eyes wou6 you consider a teaching on how to do your eye shadow they are just fantastic I just love your eyes
i really don't know what I am doing in all honesty
so funny, just started breeding mine a week ago the first time and had success. the only thing is, that i wasnt prepared with the right food. i am waiting for my brine shrimp to hatch and hope they stay alive until than.
You can order micro/walter worms online to feed them in the mean time and have those as back up food in the future. Just keep the colony alive. Or you can make an infusoria culture as well. Check out Mark's Aquatics on YT for breeding those and Aquarium Co-Op for breeding vinegar eels/worms also for feeding baby and adult fish.
Have tried a few times to get some baby corys. Even with an air stone the eggs still mold. What can I try? 🤷🏼♀️
Do you have any cpds available?
Yes to the Apistos.
ANY UPDATES ON THE CPD'S? I HAVE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT TRYING TO BREED MINE. HOW OLD DO THEY NEED TO BE OR HOW CAN I TELL IF THEY ARE SEXUALLY MATURE?
I have a few fry, but nothing impressive yet.
