This is unreal!! So much faster than I expected but an absolute blessing. The Electric Blue Acara are obviously very content in their new aquarium / aquascape. If they are happy...I'm happy 😁

love you from nepal
very nice md. true inspired fan here
Look into Chicken Bone Stone, looks good with green plants.
Hi md can you check your filter please
They are super easy to breed basically like convict cichlids but the need baby brine shrimp
The parents are great at raising fry so leave em in there. Just watch them raise the fry its a beautiful sight. Have personally bred them for years now
Damn where are you in India? Mumbai Chennai Bangalore?
Pune
@@aaryathakar5748 thats awesome. Keep it up. I want to get in this hobby asap but Ive just graduated and started working this year. I'll get a tank for sure in my own house.
@@uvuvwevwevweossaswithglasses Thanks man. Youll really enjoy the hobby.And good luck for your new job!!
@@aaryathakar5748 thank you
Electric blue acara is very beautiful fish with character. They are responsible parents. It’s fun to watch the mother walks the babies around and pecks the straying away babies one by one back into their home cave. Thumbs up to your new addition. 😊
I got to say out of all the tanks I have watched you create this is by far my fave, just amazing I think.
Your fish tanks are heaven for the fishes...😍😍😁
I think you should leave the fry in the main tank with their "mother" and move the 2 other blue acaras in the quarantine tank for a few weeks.
sounds like a plan...
This is what I had to do. Great parents until the fry started roaming the entire tank. Mother got immensely aggressive and had to remove the father.
@@MDFishTanks put a pre-filter on your canister pipe...Wishing best of luck to your fish mama xD
@@MDFishTanks I am quite obsessed by blue acaras, and in all the breeding videos I have seen, they never separate the father and the mother. They are great parents, and they both raise the fries. Also, and I don't know if this one is true, but it seems that Blue Acaras tend to form a lifetime couple.
@@MDFishTanks both parents doing good, just the 3rd needs to go!
Remove the two other Acaras from the tank and leave them with the parent.
Also prevent them from getting accidentally sucked into the filtration system.
So glad you are going to use a fine sand for your apistogramma cacatuoides it's really cool to watch them sift the sand through the gills when they eat
Md getting into the breeding
🤣 I wouldn't say that lol. But I'm all for trying to set up natural style tanks and seeing what happens...
I have three boys in my tank, they are huge, friendly and they are like little puppies. I love this type of fish.
Another excellent video and let the parents raise them is the best. If you pull the wigglers is a lot of work. For the plucostamus, you can use a small terracotta pot, lay it side ways. That is what I use and they have spond.
Remember a sponge on the filter suction, so it wont catch the fry - and it will be fine. How exiting 👏👏🥳
I love the Acara. My guy is so friendly.
This setup is a great success! It achieved what you wanted...hope they grow up...
I had a group of these for around 3 years theyre awesome parents! Probably to the point I would worry about the "third wheel", they ruthless!
Also as they mature, the males orange thread will get a lot longer, to to tip of the tail or so
Beautiful glasses, beautiful fish. Congratulations
I just got two Electric Blue Acaras and expecting them to be delivered tomorow. After waching this i am sooo excited about it!! I have ,more than once, been helped by your videos.Thank you MD for doing a great job!
You got this. I think you should keep them in with all of them. There's lots of cover and in nature not all will survive but the best should. Love your tanks and watching you.
10,000 times yes to the idea of a dark contrasting tank next the stunning red plants only tank.
Congratulations MD good job.
AMAZING BROO . . ..
Thanks for this video. I have had my blue acaras for about a month now, didn't know whether they were male or female, but today noticed them protecting a plant in my tank, and looked closer to see eggs covering the leaves of the plant.
MD nailing the biology terms again 😜 always exciting to get fry. Fingers crossed you'll get to grow some out be worth it
I'm a fish anatomy expert Catherine haha
@@MDFishTanks I'm no biologist either, vent /shooter same difference we stand under you 🤣🤣
Thanks for all the updates in one video!
Congratulations. Excited to see baby fishies
Just a true testament to what you're doing there MD.. when you create these beautiful, balanced , natural and wonderful habitats... It's not going to be long till there's a Little Loving in the air.. I mean water 😂
Absolutely beautiful fish and thank you for sharing the excitement of everything going on!!
Have a very blessed day and again a Happy Thanksgiving 🙏🌿🐟🌿💚
Great update nice to see your hard working is paying off
MD quote of the day - "Fish willy" :)
that tank is just perfect 🙂
Brilliant stuff MD, love following you. I think leaving them do their own thing is great. Plus learning their behaviour in the process is an added benefit 💜💜💜 keep up with the super content xxxx
I love how friendly Ghost is. He looks happy to see you
Wow, the african river tank is your best work. It is more stunning every time you show it!
You do what you want to do with your fishes and tanks. I might throw in ideas here and there but I'm not a fish keeper as the environment i live in doesn't allow it. I'm here to enjoy what you wish to show on your videos. The baby fish are adorable and I hope most of them survive long enough to grow up.
Loved it, hope they are still with us next time
Hi I've had this same situation! The mum and dad fish are great parents and will not hurt the babies, you may need to remove the 3rd fish but it may be ok.... just keep watching, soon it will be clear who mum and dad are as they wont let the 3rd near them. I loved my acarras! I used to feed them worms from my garden, they loved it!
Woohoo!!! Wigglers! Congrats mate! So exciting! -- Now to binge some of your other videos to get inspiration for my new 60cm that just came in! =)
That tank looks amazing.
Easy to keep , been keeping them for years they're good parents they will take care of their fry but I have found that they will breed a lot kind of remind me of convicts cichlids good luck with them and enjoy...
The male is guarding the eggs and the two females are out and about! In cichlids you can tell male from female by the dorsal fin. The males dorsal is longer and has an extended tip, where the females dorsal fin is a bit shorter and more rounded at the end.
Spectacular video!!! I had never seen blue acara eggs or wigglers before! They are some of my favorite fish but I have not had success in keeping them.
Wicked video as allows MD. I just had a spawn of electric blue acaras as well just leave them to it mate they do an excellent job of rearing them.
Congratulations 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 did they all make it !
So exciting!! My Salt and Pepper Corys just spawned. I have the tiniest Corys scrounging around.
Congratulations MD on building a successful and also beautiful scape for breeding. I am currently in the process of building a scaped tank for a breeding pair of apistogramma. Hopefully I will have some success myself.
Really loving your videos, from time to time i do graveyard shifts working from home and your videos are just so relaxing, calming to have playing while i work :) I regret getting rid of my dad's tanks.
Just picked up an EBA for my 55 gallon last night! Beautiful blue. Goes very well with the Gold Severum and Platinum Angelfish, and looks quite similar to my Polar Blue Parrot. On the hunt for a red-blood parrot next!
Love watching your videos bro! I look forward to watching everyday! Your videos are a part of my daily routine! Keep up the great work MD!
Congratulations, Daddy MD👍🏾😅
Your plants always look so good!
The colors are always great!
Tell me your secrets!
I swear I saw you on 23rd (yesterday). I was serving a customer at the store I work for and you walked through my checkout. I could have sworn it was you
I'd leave the acara fry in the tank. Acara are great parents! It may take them a few attempts to get it right, but they will raise their young. Just make sure they get the food.
Both the male and female will protect their young, might take a couple times, but they'll get it eventually.
You may want to remove the one that isn't part of the pair.
do these fish fry need live food at this age? I know betta fry need live food as that's just a part of their nature.
@@heaven7360 like any fish, they will benefit from tiny tiny foods. Brine shrimp are the all time best but something else will work.
Yo md it’s 3:00 am here and I’m watching ur vid
noice!
@@MDFishTanks love your vids a ton
I have a single blue acara but she has had the worst luck as a fish! My friend gave her to me and se jumped out of the bucket before I got her in my tank and was out for a good minute. Then she got stuck in a fake hollow rock and I had to damage her dorsal and some scales on her face to get her out. Then she was getting beat up in the tank and I moved her to a tank to heal. She jumped out of that tank and scratched her eyes on the carpet causing a temporary blindness. Again she healed. Now she is in with my rainbow fish and angel and they all get along great. I have hundreds of fish but she is my favorite and will only eat if it's from my hand.
How brilliant ... vvv exciting - I feel like a proxy parent!!! Can't wait for the update😊😊😊
:D Update now available Kim
@@MDFishTanks goody! thanks love
Looks like Christmas has come early for you MD. Good luck with the fry, you excitement was evident! I'm looking forward to many updates about them and the others as they grow up.
Congrats on your new babies!! Fish w***y so naughty 😂
Next time we wanna see a dramatic entrance 🏃🏽😄
The great benefit of running an ecological-based aquarium is the fish behavior. Cichlids are so compelling. It's no exaggeration that you could observe them for years and years and still be surprised by what you might see tomorrow.
Congratulations MD and the EBA pair 🎉 am so anxious now... What a cliffhanger! Leaving them in there is way to go, I would have done the same... However, just to test a theory, may be separate out few from the 300s😁 and see how both set grow up... Can't wait for the next update on this? Have they started free swimming by now??? I need updatessss!!! 🤣
The Beauty of Mother Nature
Wow, this is amazing 😄🥰🌿🌊🐟🌿🐟🐟🌿💖☯️❤thanks for this 🎬🌿
Wow, love your tanks MD! Lucky to have EBA spawn just after a week in a new tank, when they're so young and all the stress of moving :D
I think based on the nature of the tank you made the right decision can’t wait for the next video ☺️
this tank looks amazing, u did a great job
u deffo earned a sub there :)
I just jump right into this when I finished KG Tropicals vlog that you are in too MD
Keep doing what you do best and what you enjoy in fish keeping 🐠👍 💪
You should try getting a micro worm culture going it’s easy you only need the culture some oats and a tub
Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for the great vids mate
Once they become free swimming the parent moves them around the tank to forage for food, that's when they get "picked off" moving the other fish may be better than moving the fry
yeah that's whats happening in todays video John :)
Hello MD
It has been inspiring for me to see you having lots of success with your aquarium setups.
One question, my aquarium plants mostly not doing well specially red rooted surface plants and melt away but yours are green and healthy?.
Please advise. I use liquid feed as well as liquid CO2 now and again. PH normal and temp is set to 24° constant.
ManyThanks
Congrats!!
Btw, if your camera is giving you a hard time focusing, don't be afraid to pull the focus manually! It isn't as jarring as autofocus deciding that the tank in the reflection is what you're trying to see!
Hikari first bites are a great food for your acara fry and crushed up flakes good luck md first time mine bred they ate the young but 3rd time they were great parents to the fry but I ended up having to remove the male because parents were getting nasty to each other , eventually introduced parents bk together and they were mating again very quick 👍
I’ve had EBAs for years now and they are excellent breeders. If you have a male and female you’re almost guaranteed babies. They’re also great parents. I generally remove the fry after a week because mine are in a community setting, but I now have 10-12 adults and juvies in a 75, most that I’ve raised. They’re just amazing fish. They’re so friendly and such a fun breeding project. I do nothing but provide a great home and they spawn every few weeks like clockwork.
Looking forward to the updates 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My blue acara have been very good parents. They are generally great parents and share the job. Warning they will spawn again in less than 3 weeks if you remove the fry . If you don’t remove the juveniles they will eat the next lot of fry. As the adults mature a pair will have 400 fry seriously it will look like 500 fry but who can count? Baby brine shrimp would be nice but dry dust will also work. You will get your hands attacked a few times LOL They will be fine doing it naturally. The next generation in 3 weeks will be eaten by the juveniles ( hopefully)
You need to separate the BN plecos or you will have hundreds of them ,as well LOL.
All fish jump. Even long fin BN jump.
Thanks for sharing.
It’s true they are great parents
Excellent mate! Really happy for you. I'm with you btw, I much prefer to leave babies in the tank and see what happens rather than removing them. Especially when it's a species only tank.
🙌🏾💪🏾🤞🏿 keep applying pressure MD
Eggs! So exciting cant wait to see babies
Sooo beautiful.
Yay!! Babies!!!💕💕💕
How large are the smaller tanks? The ones you keep in a row, not the big show aquariums.
I've never taken the fry out. Much more interesting to watch the parents raise them. They need to learn anyway. With their first bunch of fry, they usually don't do very well, but as time goes on they learn.
You do you MD! We’re along for the ride. You’ve got the cichlids bug… watch out. You’ll need more big tanks! Turkana Jewel cichlids are an easy breed and striking as well. No where as mean as the normal Jewels. Keep up the great content
From high level aquascaper to dwarf cichlids, corydoras and livebearers breeder, very nice
Leave the eggs alon..... Acaras love their own eggs😂 As only one time meal 😂🤣
Mine never ate their own eggs 😀
Ghost's tank looks UNREAL! He is absolutely adorable & gorgeous as well! Is there a reason why you like / want to breed blue acara? or do you just really enjoy breeding beautiful fish? I bred my sparkling gourami & now have a tank dedicated to all of them, & I feel I've peaked in the hobby 😂💙
Your tanks are really cool! Where do you get it all from, tanks and crome pipework etc
beautiful betta
Congratulations Grandpa 🙃🙃👍🙏
What
I just had this happen with my little Golden Ramirezi's. 24-48 hours into the tank, they'd scoped out a nice area and laid a nice clutch of eggs... 30 hours later, not many eggs left. I was, unfortunately, unable to remove the large piece of wood they'd used to lay on, so hopefully, they'll choose one of the nice flat stones I've scattered around in protected places and try again!
Exciting!!
You do the bare bottom but all the algae grow they feed on that of the glass that’s what you need to do a really heavy bear algae and caves tank for them maybe not even have the light on all the time because I noticed a lot of those tanks are dark most of the time
Cool👍Tnx for the video🤝
MD I'd really appreciate your input. I'm in the UK and I've just bought a 94l I'm upgrading from 17! Any suggestions on a heater I'm stuck. I've gone with the U2 filter but I'm stuck on a heater! The main fish being my betta
Hi MD! Your videos are amazing and your aquascaping style is unbelievable! I've a questione for you: Do you buy all the woods and stones used in the tanks?
Many thanks
"Fish willie" lol!
the African rever its a really cool tank, please give us some update ..tnks
I was using frozen shrimp brine for fish babies
Hello MD! Yes, it's the larger female. If you notice the other 2, one of them has the dorsal and anal fin going over the tail fin. Start organizing somewhere to start hatching Brin shrimp. Also, instead of moving the fry, move the other pair.
