Thank you for your videos and information, I've been keeping an aquarium for a couple months and I love to learn more about them. I love it so much that I decided to do a project on breeding fish, this project will last for 1.5 years and your videos absolutely help me, and I'm sure others, towards breeding and keeping fish. TYSM!

I ADD them to the bucket in case i stress them out so i can take them out of the water...... proceeds to put them thru a washing machine of a bag tie lol couldnt help but to laugh at that
I visited 6 aquariums in Brisbane looking for some nice GBRs in preparation for a new planted community tank. Smith’s were the only place with really nice ones. Congrats.
Really doing well making your hobby into a living. Also not only aussie but a Queenslander like myself. Would love to get my hands on some of your fish to help support
Super cool! Yeah you can do a separate video about LFS tours. Free marketing for the stores w/c means bigger foot traffic for them that may make them order from you more.
What is the space between your racks? Just planning a fishroom and was wondering what would be comfortable enough to walk/work between racks but don't want to waste any space on the other hand.
Crikey those prices wholesalers etc offer are good,. I'm in the UK and recently been talking to a large aquarium buisiness about my bristlenose that I have breeding. Long story short, they sell them for Average £10 each, at this time they were £12. They said to me "we will take as many bristlenose as you can bring" at about 50p a fish 😠.
Hi there. Just looking at your CPD setup and I have a way of using an airlift tube to collect CPD eggs which has increased my harvest. Happy to share with you if you like. (I don’t like posting my vids on other people channels without their approval)
Get red eye puffers they control snails for all 40 of my tanks and I only have three of them. I tried pea puffers for my snail problems but they couldn’t keep up. The red eyes can easily eat the full grown rams horns.
Love the vids mate! Get so excited when I see them on the recommended page!! Would love to see a video on how to breed hillstream loaches! Good luck 🤞👍
I've loved aquatics all my life and have always wanted to get in to breeding and selling fish but I've never put in the effort. Half of the time I almost feel like it isn't worth the investment but again it's a hobby I really enjoy.
That's great you get 50% of pricing from shops. One offered me 25% another offered me less than 20% for instance $8/fish when they're selling them for $45
Sell on gumtree. I've been offered 1/3 of what the store sells them for, but the bright side is, they will buy dozens at a time. So it's good for a bulk payment. That being said, I've had people buy a considerable amount of fish off me in one sitting, privately.
A great way is to give them a price menu. 30% of their cost is a good price imo. You could always adjust and make things a little cheaper, for example with congo tetras, where im from they sell for more than most fish, yet I sell them for only about 15% of what petshops ask. This is bcs they are a schooling fish, & have hundreds and hundreds of eggs per spawn, so high quantity x a low price = the same profit as lower quantity x high price. Play around with prices and work out what you need to make to break even. Then don’t sell for less- after all, your fish get worth more the bigger they get- so you could always sell breeding pairs or groups later on for more! Aquarium Co-op has a 5 part(might be 6 or 7) series that goes into depth on everythibg uou need to know about approach and procing
Great work! I just started breeding bettas and guppies. The bettas are a very young and talented Ultra Delta/Half Moon dad and a Galaxy Koi mom). The guppies are a mystery because the female was already expecting. I will undoubtedly keep these fish happy no matter what, but would like to get into selling them. Can you do a video on finding a new client?
Quick question. Im currently doing a fishless cycle in a 55g. Adding ammonium chloride to keep the ammonia up between 3-5ppm. Would it be safe to add plants? Or does ammonia hurt plants? Im dying to order some beautiful plants but a little gun shy as I dont want them dying. Id truly appreciate your opinion. Ty
Do you have a any updates on your bettas would love to see a video on them . I did it the same way as you did and now I have probably at least 200 red coppers. I tried my pair of black samurai but when I caught the female she released all her eggs.
Hey, I recently watched your video on how to breed neon tetras, and I was wandering, did you have to do a drip acclimation to drop them in? Since the ph, gh and kh are extremely different for my tanks. I put two in yesterday night but I haven't seen any breeding today. When do I need to wake up and turn on the lights, do I need to feed them while their in there, and also I love your videos man. Another thing with the neon tetras, I tried making infusoria but it doesn't work, I have made 3 attempts and there are no infusoria, I used the water from my 1 year old aquarium, not sure whats happening, is there anything else I can feed them, I read somewhere that you can feed egg yolk or hikari frozen rotifers for the first few days.
love your videos! quick question with the tank you showed with the rocks, can we add any kind of rock to the tanks? Is there a process they have to go through to be safe to put in the tank? Or do we just by aquarium specific rocks? hoping to make a planted tank for a betta!
I have about 50-60 blue eye lemon plecos, about 1.5 inches. A fish store told me to let them know when I was ready to sell. What would be a reasonable price to expect for each one? Thanks
These Hillstream Loaches are quite easy to breed. But you have to be carefull with the young fish. If they don't have the flat body yet, they die from stress very easy.
I feel like you had a big help in this industry somewhere alone the line... 20 odd year old kid rolling around in a bmw own fish room etc your water power and rent bills alone must out produce that garage I dunno mate either the luckiest fish keeper ever or u inherited some $$ along the way either way i like watching the videos lol

Thanks!

Good job! The Hillstream Loaches are an amazing addition to the episodes!
Thank you!
Nick, just enjoyed the explanations and I hope the best for the hill stream loach breeding. That seems like a really great "project".
So good to see fellow Aussie fish youtubers!
Really doing well making your hobby into a living. Also not only aussie but a Queenslander like myself. Would love to get my hands on some of your fish to help support
I’ve just setup my bettas in the same Kmart tubs as yours, and followed exactly what you did, hopefully im successful
Good luck!!!!!
make a video of how it goes,i tried but my bettas just wouldnt spawn.good luck
@@S-scapes did you get them to breed yet
@@CDE. sadly not my female died recently and i have sold my male but i bought 4 females and i orded a candy koi male. :)

You use tropical almond leaves for fungi you have a tree? They grow all over Hawaii
i think when you have to bag heaps of boxes people forget how long it takes but i allow for 45min -1 hour for a box to catch and bag conservitatily
That's great you get 50% of pricing from shops. One offered me 25% another offered me less than 20% for instance $8/fish when they're selling them for $45

Get amazon puffers. I have a few of those and a few pea puffers. Love them both but prefer the amazons.
I love smiths, awesome store but it's over an hour away from me so it's not somewhere I can go to often just to browse
Will you update your own page soon? Really looking forward to the blue black Rams
Just started my fishroom up and started filming for my channel love you vids dude you are an inspiration 👍 cheers Andy from the goldcoast
Hi mate quick question where did you buy all the tanks from I want to start a small racking system and can’t find tanks
Would you be able to markup plants and even fish if you were duckweed and snail free?
what will you feed the newly hatched cpd's? I'm thinking of breeding my colony soon
Infusoria
Where do you get your tanks from? All the places near me are very expensive
Im in south brisbane
Quick question. Im currently doing a fishless cycle in a 55g. Adding ammonium chloride to keep the ammonia up between 3-5ppm. Would it be safe to add plants? Or does ammonia hurt plants? Im dying to order some beautiful plants but a little gun shy as I dont want them dying. Id truly appreciate your opinion. Ty
I currently have 280-300 convict cichlid fry any suggestions my local fish store won’t buy them
Great content!!

Great video as always.

It`s still there!
Always fun, Always interesting.🙂
Thanks
Nice work keep it up. Was wondering where do you get your tanks from thanks
Wait were do I sell fish online or were locally I have that question
Does the zucchini have to be completely organic to feed to fish? Is it ok just to peel what I can find at the grocery store?
Do you have a any updates on your bettas would love to see a video on them . I did it the same way as you did and now I have probably at least 200 red coppers. I tried my pair of black samurai but when I caught the female she released all her eggs.
great job mate! Love your ispiring video!
Thanks!!
U can drive around? I thought australia on lockdown?
I have 2 confirmed pairs of electric blue rams ,I have conditioned them well but they still don't breed, what might be the reason
Are you going to add the Hillsteams to your website if you get them to breed? I've been looking for some in VIC for months but cant find them.....
Love ur videos
Thanks!
Have you ever bread angels?
Those Rams look epic!

Can you breed the puffers ??
You are doing great ……you are way way way past needing O2 tank.😎🐟✌️
Thanks 😊
Love the vlogs!
Thank you!
Get some green spotted puffers to eat all the snails
Should I bleach the zucchini before feeding it to my fish, our should I just peel it?
Bleach?!?!? I hope you mean blanch! I boil mine for a few minuets before I feed to shrimp and ottos
You do your bags up the same way I do haha, I learnt how from Don Booth in Townsville :D The Pro's way SPin ThAT BaG BaBYYYyy

A third of what they sell them for is fair, if they offer you less, sell privately.

Big fan from 🇳🇵
Thanks
bring back this mostouche my man trust me
Question- will you feel sad after you ship the fish to the pet store as you were taking care of them since they were little fry?
Yes a little
I really want to start breeding fish for profit so I’m saving up money but what fish do you recommend I breed
Awesome
is pisces your wholesaler?
What is your shop website
Massive amount of Duckweed. But I love your videos
How much money did you make from the sale of those fish? That would have been super interesting to know!
Do the shops and wholesale dont have a problem with all the duck weed in your bags? Like i would not want to have that in my bags
Not really
Need help buddy my discus they are not eating
