Do a water change and leave the water low for several hours---even a day if you want--- so water flows out of a HOB filter like a waterfall. Then top off the tank and put in a little extra food and within a few days you will have eggs. They love that feeling that there is tons of food and fresh water. Works every time for me.
I’ll try it with the blue eyes!
That's what I do. Hob waterfall works great
I do something similar. But I use a spray bar from a canister filter.
Hey Mike. Great video. Thanks for all ur help at Super Cichlids. They are great people and so r u.
Thanks so much!
Every time you cough and you say i am fine, it's make me laugh while laughing i though have you ever farted while doing a video?
Nice video.
Maybe.......🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
That’s definitely NOT “fine”. !!!!!!
lol!!!
Poor fish!!!!
I feed my pleco's spirulina algae wafers, fresh zucchini, fresh cucumber, fresh baby spinach leaves, fresh green beans. I don't blanch any of my foods, I just rinse them first then let them air dry, cut up if needed and then feed to the tanks. I usually buy a few cucumber and zucchini ever 2-3 weeks, I cut up one lot and feed to the tank that day and the rest I put into freezer bags and freeze ready for later that week or next. I defrost on the day when needed and just put into the tanks when at room temp. Simple. I did a video the other week showing how I prep my foods for the tanks.
Thanks sharing! What spirulina wafers do you use?
@@MichaelsFishRoom The ones I use are made here in Melbourne by a company called TTanked they are on eBay also.
Theoretically some of your longfin fry will be longfin, but in real life it could be different. I’ve been noticing a shortage of French cut green beans at my local Walmart’s.
I but them at
BJ’s when they have a coupon.
You’re the science teacher! Shouldn’t you know what I should get? #youarethesmarttwin
Why don't you just buy regular cut? It works fine and you get more for your money.
I use a stainless steal skewer for cabobs!
Just slide the green beans onto the skewer and tie a small string to the end. Just set the loaded skewer into the tank and leave the string hanging out of the top of the tank. When they have finished the green beans, just pull up the skewer with the string and re load it! Make sure the skewer doesn’t have a sharp point. You don’t want anything that can harm your fish.
I prefer doing things this way because you can load a lot, or just a little bit. It’s easy to remove to add more and the plecos know exactly where the food will be so they can easily get what they need in one place. Green beans are my staple for them, but I also feed algae wafers and pellets for bottom feeders to make sure they get all the nutrients they require to stay healthy and breed readily!
Nice long fins and super reds! Good info on feeding. Love Super Cichlids, super nice people and good prices. I think your channel first introduced me to their web site. So, thank you!
Chili with corn chips and a cold Corona with lime.
Mmmmm chili.......
I love Martin and Lisa!
Martin and Lisa at SUPER CICHLIDS are super nice people. Their store is awesome.
This is true!
Glad to know I'm not the only one without crystal clear water.
#keepingitreal
My babies!!! They are so cute :-) I'll have to get a few of the long fins. They are pretty. No snack. Drinking iced tea and pondering what I want for supper.
I’m making kettle fried chicken and corn on the cob
Hi Michael! Lol Yeah, I followed the green bean instructions to the letter. I got French cut, no salt & drained them. I bought a pleco block (ZooMed) & they eat that, I've seen them! I noticed a couple of veggie six gone, too. Mine are always being unusual. Got GF spitting & moving gravel like cichlids!
LOL...your plecos are just weird then!
I have Bristlenoses,bought two and was lucky enough for one to be male and the other female.So...at the moment I have the Bristlenose Daddy lol,carefully guarding young,which hatched just two days ago,cant wait for them to emerge from the cave,love this hobby and your videos :)
Yay for babies!
Been keeping fish for nearly a decade and haven't kept Plecos myself. I'm ready to be informed.
Get a snack and a beverage and watch!
Hiya great video with some great tips and information. Thanks for sharing 😊
My pleasure!
Right on!
Word.
who went back and counted how mny times michael cough in this video? probably over 30 times , im fine
New drinking game!
Michael's Fish Room you’d lose every time buddy! lol!
But hey, it’ll all be good as long as your, “FINE”. !!!!!!!!!Hahahahaha!!! 😃😳
Bro.. Thank you. I knew I couldn't be the only one.
"I'm good."
But def a great video. Super helpful.
God I can't wait to get mine and make another order. The super reds look amazing!
Super reds right?
Excellent video Michael in also using that high protein wafers for my green dragons
Do they like it?
Love your longfin pelcos... can't wait until you are selling them.. will keep checking your page for them.. so hard to find smaller pelcos in my area... common are the only ones I can find...
Should be about 3-4 months.
@@MichaelsFishRoom Thank you
You're welcome!
Good video. Those longfins are nice.
That’s what she said😎
@@MichaelsFishRoom HAH!
Hi there! Thank you very much for your awesome videos.
My question is, would a water heater spike up the growth of the babies ancistrus? (Just a thought). Thank you once more! Big hugs from Tahiti!!!
Spike up?
Bucks County auction - supplier to the stars....
Best auction out there!
I keep eyeing the blue diamond guppies on your website, but have never seen them on any of your fishroom tours. Do you have them, are are you just teasing me? That's not nice, Mike! :p
Nope, I didn’t think they were in my website anymore...
I just ordered a bunch of skiffia multipunctata from a friend of yours. Next time I'm not broke, I'm coming for your japanese blues. Been wanting them for a while, and now that I know the diamonds are a no go... :)
Keith?
Yes sir!
You need more mulm in the blue eyes tank it's to clean for them to breed.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Question,I had 30 African cichlids in a black Rubbermaid 100 gallon stock tank,with 3 sponge filters and a sun sun canister filter,thing is every other day I would get a fish or two die,no diseases and the water perameters were good,I only ask because I see you use those same tanks
What does “good” mean?
Michael's Fish Room nitrates,ammonia levels were low,had just done a water change a few days before
I have three of the super reds on waiting list and I'm still being patient! :)Gives me time to prep my tanks a bit!
You see how sssssllllllloooooooowwwwwww they are growing! Thanks for being patient!
Michael's Fish Room no problem!! So excited to eventually get them :)
Futomaki Roll , Tobeiko Sushi, and Ice water - Nice vid Bro
Thanks for watching! See you Thursday.
Michael where do you buy these proteins disc??
Www.supercichlids.com
Hi Michael I'm definitely going to the ACA convention I will be there Saturday .So how can I get the 5 pack of guppies .I'm the cheap guy that doesn't want to pay for shipping lol.
Lol...order now in my website, but for shipping choose “no shipping will pick up” then email me!
most people don't know this, but i'm happy to share the information with you, but the reason plecos like french cut green beans is because plecos speak french. you're welcome.
Greg Jones 🧐
Are you ok buddy?
You do know that plecos don’t speak, right? Not even French!!
😳🙄🤔
Michael my guppy laid eggs that are yellow guessing they are infertile, please help me out first time trying to breed. Love the content by the way
Guppy’s don’t lay eggs. They MAY be your first issue.
@@MichaelsFishRoom petsmart has some weird guppies I guess 🤦♂️
@@MichaelsFishRoom will buy from you from now on
Baby plecos are so stinkin' cute. Hot tea and toast.
👍💕👍
Just like me😉
Awesome vid I just ordered some plecos to try to breed
From where?
A breeder online I would have ordered from you if I saw this video before mine shipped
LOL....you're killing me. Anyway, next time!
ACA... all the big Cichlid people... and Scott.
How many brown bristle noses do you have - 50?
At least.
hey mate! im interested in your plecos youre breeding, i was just wondering whats the minimum size for breeding plecos?
minimum size tank or fish?
@@MichaelsFishRoom what about both!? because i dont know either!!
Brad Miller I like 20 longs and about 12-15 months old
I have a younger breeding group of longfin albino plecos i cant get them to eat the sinking pellets or wafers. Any suggestion on food i can try. Im gonna get some cucumber and zucchini today to see if that works. I was also told they enjoy watermellon have you tried watermelon if so let me know how it went
They do love watermelon. What foods are you trying?
@@MichaelsFishRoom i am relativly poor so i just feed tetra algae wafers and greenbeans. I may try french cut as i saw they seem to eat that for you.
Not a fan of the tetra......try the french cut....also cucumbers.
Do you feed zucchini or cucumber? Mine LOVE them especially zucchini.
I do cucumber sometimes.
How many males to females do you recommend for a 100L 3ft long? Thanks
3-1
I've grown to love plecos. I have 7 now.
Lol
What were you into before you “grew”??? 🤔
Hello can i ask you regarding bristlenose i bought some blue eye bristles from same breeder,same batch...its ok to breed from this same batch..brothers to sisters? Will the babies still be healthy? Can i continue breeding all this ?? Its healthy or not? Its inbreeding? Wait your help pls?
What did the person you bought them from say?
I got a 38 gallon bow front aquarium how many bristlenose plecos can add
As many as you want. If it were me I’d add 2.
Next videos ? Any fry on the Red Cobras tubes ??
Oh yeah!
Apple Sauce, diet ginger ale. Thanks for the pleco feeding info!
How are you feeling?
@@MichaelsFishRoom not gr8. The surgery can't happen soon enough
@@MichaelsFishRoom Terrible, but hopefully in a few weeks, I will be like new!
Sorry bro....hope you get some relief soon!
Cute lil’ teardrop fishies! Wiggle wiggle their lil’ butts, lol.
Spicy Cheetos and a Squirt soda pop. 👌
Squirt?
Michael's Fish Room - it’s kinda like a Fresca, grapefruit soda
Barbara Jackson 🤢🤢🤮
What size of tanks do you to raise these?
I like 20 long.
🥰😍😘Got my Purple shirt!!
Email me a pic!
I just got a baby pleco a regular black n brown pleco but I have fed him tomatoes what do I do
How big is your tank?
It's a 15gallon
Joseph Gonzalez return the pleco that will get to be over a foot long, goto my website and order a bristle noise pleco.
It's still a baby and no I'ma wait till it gets bigger it still has time to grow when it grows more I'ma get a 40 gallon tank n I'ma start feeding the 2 plecos cucumber see if they eat
Joseph Gonzalez 👌🏼
I hit the like button! Are you gonna shave before you come to ACA?
Shave what?
@@MichaelsFishRoom obviously not the head.... That thing you call a beard??? LOL just kidding you look sexy as always
I know😘
For pleco breeding do you use 10 gallons? Nice video been wanting to hear a update about the pleco breeding!
Not usually, I like 20H for breeding.
Good video 👍😃
Thanks
have you ever kept a tally of the $$$ that go into feeding them to sale size and compared that to what you get in $$$ per fish, I did and fast worked out there was no profit, lol
I don’t pay for food usually. Only the green beans.
@@MichaelsFishRoom that's where I'm going wrong, lol,
#winning
Fish nerds ftw!
That’s me
How much can I get in money or trade for a bunch of guppy fry if I take them to my local fish store? Don't want to end up just feeding them to my Oscars! I live in north Jersey near Delaware water gap. Thanks
I have no idea. Why don’t you go and ask your local fish store?
Love the glasses 👓
Thanks!
Mike can u tell me how to get rid of my 350 plecos babies
Sure
Do you sell male Bristol nose by itself? If so how much?
What kind do you want?
Michael's Fish Room either an albino or a regular one(not exactly sure what the name is).
Another benefit of duckweed, is that Ive found my baby plecos eating them too !
Are they eating it, or just sucking the microfilm off of it?
Grill cheese my man 🎉❤
What about it?
Hello, I'm looking for Tequila Sunrise Guppy trio. Does everyone have or know anyone with them for a reasonable price? Thanks👍
Try your LFS. They are very common.
Finally some real fish
You mean in addition to the guppies?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We went to China Buffet, Ice water and NO desserts!!
What the heck!
er-hue er-hue, i'm good.
Er-hue?
@@MichaelsFishRoom
the cough. by the way, you should have that looked at bro.
This time I might.....
Super reds have patches on them still. Not the best.
Would also say the calicos are also low quality.
Ok
+1 for 20L and French cut green beans 👍 #Massive
#massive 🤣🤣🤣
damn, thought i was goin to get a shout out from our time we spent together on saturday @ SUPER CICHLIDS in Dover DE lol
Lol...maybe next time
😂😂😂😁
I was there too, I'm probably there to much lol
Lol....never too much.
Lmmfao...... Hot As Balls 😂🤣 😅😂🤣 😅...
#truth!
The “I’m fine” thing after coughing is very odd! You can tell it has become a habit for you to say it because you say it after every cough and then go right back to talking! lol!
I’m not complaining. It’s just a bit odd! 😳
❤
Thanks!
can you cough without saying i'm good, lol, it's not like you're eating a cactus, right
How would you know if I am OK?
You should get 1,000,000 koi.
Koi?
Yep throw them in a five and let em grow so in the winter they'll be warm
Someone didn't tell my plecos that they like green beans. Won't touch them! Not cucumber, zucchini, or Chayote (Mexican squash).
Are you using French cut green beans?
👍🏾 #300
300?
@@MichaelsFishRoom Michael's Fish Room I was the 300th person to smash the heck out of that 👍🏾 button 😎
I like your videos, but I dont understand letting the mulm build up so much. I'm aware it looks worse than it actually is and a pristine tank is not necessary. Its always been my belief that extra waste is an invitation to fish health issues. I'm not hating.....maybe I'm wasting my time clearing my tanks daily.
I get such good results in the pleco tanks because it is a source of all day food.
Obliterated!!! And Booped!!wow! Hope you’re fine. Plecos now that’s me. Ok 👌 your gupps are okay too.
Lol...I’m fine! Thanks for watching!
Feed them good low quality food
What are you talking about?
Sarcasm I think. You know "good" bad food. That's what I got.
I think troll. And his trolling skills are lacking.
You just feed them your scraps lol
Maybe you should spend some time cleaning these nasty ass tanks instead of making videos blasting LFS.
I don't see nasty tanks, but thanks for commenting and helping my channel.
First ,😜
WINNER!
