Right on! I should really set up a breeding tank for mine. I've got some just beluga sized females lol

[@johncampbell-ou5ig]

Use glass marbles as the ballast for the tray. Lead will leach heavey metals.

[@1nvd]

Bro got a rusty paper clip in there lol

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

Cheers from my fish room channel in Chicago, where I am a subscriber to yours! I really appreciated this video and your ingenuity building the spawning rig. i look forward to seeing an update assuming you do one :)

[@mexico_verde]

I love your videos 💚
I vote for seeing the reproduction of mosquito rasboras.
Greetings from Mexico 🙌✨

[@rz9888]

Thanks for the awesome video and inspiration. Have you tried breeding Chili Rasbora before?

[@AvatarAquatics]

Nope, I have them growing out now :)

[@garywatson7714]

Nice video, how many fry did you end up with? I hope to breed my green neon tetras soon 😊

[@theaquascapecorner]

congo tetras would be amazing, maybe branch out from tetras and do some anabantoids?

[@thatonedog819]

Yes actually - tea is just tannin water. That's exactly where the flavor and color comes from. Tannins in the plant matter

[@happymcslappy3640]

Mr helpful man! Wanna try do a full step by step rotifer acquisition, culture, feeding video?

[@guugleisinvadingmyprivacy2431]

Can you please do a video about breeding coelacanths? Sarcopterygians are sadly under-represented in the aquarium hobby.

[@kaden.slone04_biology]

I don't think he owns them sadly. They require large tanks.

[@gonfreakz1393]

Iced tea is 100% tannin water hahaha

[@zodiak2461]

I want to try breeding my green neon tetras but I don't have soft water. My tap water is 7ph. I have a bunch of catappa leaves. Can I boil them to make tannin extract and use that to fill my tank? any tips and help are appreciated.

[@johnlarsen7068]

Just throw the leaves into the tank. The leaves with grow biofilm and infusoria that is very beneficial to the fry. If you want lower pH water you can collect rain water, purchase an undersink RO unit for your home, or buy RO water from your local fish store

[@pyroteamgelderland2380]

hey, could u give us an update on your green jade colony?

[@Ingoivalde]

Since they were in there a week, did you do any water changes in the breeding tank?

[@AvatarAquatics]

No, but if you have a larger breeding group of fish than me then you should clean the tank or add a filter for oxygenation.

[@michaelhair7828]

How long should the fry be in the spawning tank before moving to a grow out tank with "normal" tank water?

[@WildCastOutdoors]

I don’t recommend moving them until they are a few months old and able to join the adults. Make sure they are acclimated slowly

[@PaulsFishroom]

You need to invest in an RO unit it makes producing clean soft water so easy.

[@AvatarAquatics]

that's on the shopping list :)

[@bipuldangol]

do congo tetras please

[@ericng1503]

What are the water temperature and water parameters?

[@AvatarAquatics]

Soft water, 0 GH/KH, ~6 pH, temp is at 78-80F

[@happymcslappy3640]

SUBSCRIBED!!

[@sujayc6864]

They don’t need oxygen?

[@Venoms_Rage]

Chocolate Gourami

[@takeshitky253]

That collecting water isn’t very scientific…… so I’m moving on to different video
