    I wonder if the non-predation extends to other species? I just received a group of praecox I wasn’t going to bother trying to breed due to not wanting to set up another tank, but maybe it’ll work anyways. Fascinating content, as always. Thanks for sharing your findings with us!

    Your point about "first light spawners" made me laugh. People love to apply hard and fast rules to so much about fish keeping. There are no hard and fast rules, merely suggestions and observations.
    Also, I'd like to share a hot-take here: People who only keep males of a species because they are more "colorful" would do better to just have paintings or pictures of the fish. When there is clear sexual dimorphism, I like to think of it as getting two species of fish for the price of one (well, you still have to pay for them, but you get my drift). Not only will you get better colors out of those cherished males, you also get much better behaviors to observe. Case in point, my main display has a group of emperor tetras which have about the perfect sex ratio of 1 male to 2 females. Of course there is some chasing and bickering amongst the males, but the interaction with the females is super interesting to watch.
    Thanks for sharing your videos. They are truly a joy to watch and super informative.

    So im assuming if you have a pair in there own tank it should be really easy to breed them with starting them off on very fine powder foods

    There is something that I have noticed, your bosemani rainbows have got that red factor or red hue to them whilst mine get more of the yellows with no reds, is it something with their quality or is it like your fish were selectively bred to have that red factor?

      @@MakeMoreFish i have no idea, first time a group of 8 slowly all died out in the first 5ish months i had them then the second time was a group of 7 dwarf neons and all the males developed this growth/lump on their bodies... the lump was internal not external like ich and turned the whole area red i was never able to figure out what caused these growths no one i spoke to at a few LFS was able to tell me what they were and i was never able to get the lumps to go away but thru a cocktail of treatments was able to stop them from getting bigger and got the redness to go down a little, based on research and talking to ppl i assume it was a "tumor like growth" or a viral infection
